Summer Sutton stared at him blankly, her heart racing fast and faster.
Inside, there was even a subtle sense of anticipation.
Under a rain of roses, the two quietly looked at each other, with the continuously changing square lights as the backdrop.
After gazing at each other for a while, amidst the sound of cascading fountains, Summer Sutton heard his voice, loud as if shouted, "Summer Sutton, be my girlfriend!"
Boyfriend and girlfriend, it’s the process they missed from knowing each other to getting married.
Adrian Walyon wanted to make up for what was previously missing.
What he desired was never just a marriage in form, nor a marriage certificate with his and her names.
He wanted to, like normal couples, experience the process from acquaintance to understanding, from dating to marriage—he wanted her heart!
And all of her willing consent!
Due to the opening of the fountain in the square, it was somewhat noisy.
However, Summer Sutton only heard his shout beside her ears.
The world seemed to quiet down, with only his voice echoing again and again across the square, spreading in the air, like it had a soul, gently falling into Summer Sutton’s heart.
Two meters apart, Adrian Walyon looked deeply at her, quietly waiting for her answer.
He was somewhat greedy; upon getting the certificate, he didn’t want to talk about separation.
Holding her hand, he wanted it forever.
Falling in love meant a lifetime.
Life is too long, but he was willing to accompany her, to rid her of all loneliness...
Adrian Walyon held many words in his heart but didn’t say them all.
Summer Sutton wasn’t foolish; she understood all he wished to express.
Summer Sutton stared at him blankly, her eyes bright with light, like stars twinkling.
The two gazed at each other silently for a while; suddenly, her slender body bumped into his arms, spreading her arms tightly around him.
With her face nestled in his shoulder nook, she hugged him tightly, nearly becoming one with him.
She didn’t give him an answer to his question, just held him tightly, her heart pressed against his, their heartbeats merging into one.
Adrian Walyon lifted his arms to discreetly circle her tiny body in his wings and hugged her completely.
His mood was visibly lifted by her, even lifting her up in his embrace.
"Let’s go, going home!" His voice was filled with joy; just hearing it made one involuntarily curve their lips, infected by his happiness.
The smile on his face was subtle, like an iceberg melting, like the brilliance of a snowy night, like the flowers of the entire world blooming simultaneously, nothing in the world could compare to his current radiance.
Summer Sutton’s heart was touched, her arms tightened around his neck, and her lips involuntarily lifted into a smile.
Perhaps not wanting tonight to end too soon, on the way back, although he came by car, Adrian Walyon did not take the vehicle but held her hand and walked back.
The road wasn’t long, yet they walked it for a long, long time, as if passing through a lifetime.
Tonight, Adrian Walyon seemed somewhat excited, with no sleepiness at all. Late at night, Summer Sutton was already prepared to sleep but was pulled up by him and rushed out of the villa.
Summer Sutton didn’t know where he wanted to go, but she didn’t ask.
Being with him, wherever they went didn’t matter to Summer Sutton.
The streets near midnight were devoid of passersby, much quieter. Fresh chapters posted on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝕟𝕖𝕥
