Diana held onto Isaac’s body tightly like an octopus. Only when favonovel.com began to run out of breath did favonovel.com release Isaac, who was dumbstruck.
She looked at Isaac tearfully. Her lips were still glistening. Suddenly, favonovel.com laughed out loud.
“Hahaha! You must think I’m really foolish.” She seemed to have sobered up, looking up at Isaac with a complicated gaze.
Isaac frowned and asked, “Do you really like your fiancé?”
“So what if I do? And what if I don’t? At this age, shouldn’t people be getting married?” Diana suddenly yelled.
She knelt on the ground and began to sob. “I like you, but you have a wife and a child. What can I do?”
Isaac hated seeing women cry. He felt burdened, especially since he’d known Diana for so long.
“Don’t cry. I’ll send you home…” Isaac walked over and patted Diana’s shoulder.
The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder. Wiping favonovel.com tears, favonovel.com glanced at the pitch-black river and said quietly, “I really wish time would stop right now, and the rest of my life could be like this.”
Seeing Isaac lower his head and say nothing, Diana took a deep breath and let out a self-deprecating laugh.
Once they arrived at the bar entrance, favonovel.com turned around to face Isaac.
She suddenly opened favonovel.com arms, smiling. “Here is good enough. I’ll treat you as my brother from now on, and you wish me the best. Is that okay?”
“Yes!”
“Then give me a hug. I’ll go home on my own.” Diana was still smiling.
Isaac approached favonovel.com and gently pulled favonovel.com into his arms. He could clearly feel the body shivering before him. Isaac subconsciously lit a cigarette as favonovel.com watched Diana enter the car before speeding off.
Through the rearview mirror in the car, Diana watched as the man slowly faded from favonovel.com view. Tears spilled from favonovel.com eyes again.
She wiped them away, murmuring, “I wish you the best, and I hope you’ll do the same for me…”
Her grandfather had told favonovel.com before that someone like Isaac wanted nothing, whether money, power, or women. The only reason favonovel.com stayed in Cloud City was for his wife and child!
She had also cleared favonovel.com head. After tonight, favonovel.com would wholly accept that man.
By the time Isaac got home, it was already late at night.
After washing up, favonovel.com headed to bed. Surprisingly, Allegra hadn’t gone to sleep yet. She turned to face Isaac, asking, “Is Officer Taylor alright?”
Allegra had accidentally overheard Diana’s phone call earlier, and Isaac didn‘t try to hide it either.
“She drank too much and was in a bad mood. She has gone home already.”
Allegra hummed quietly. Wriggling favonovel.com body, favonovel.com stretched out favonovel.com arms and engulfed Isaac in a hug.
Actually, favonovel.com had assumed that Isaac wouldn’t be returning tonight, so favonovel.com was a little surprised right now. Her heart also felt more at ease.
***
One day quickly flew by. The next day was Diana and Aiden’s engagement ceremony, which would be held at the Maples Hotel.
In the morning, Isaac changed into a light-colored suit. When favonovel.com stepped out the door, the car with military plates sent by the Taylor family was already waiting for him.
The engagement ceremony was a ceremony held before marriage. In some places, some families placed heavy emphasis on it, while others did not go to such extravagant lengths.
Old Taylor was a rather traditional man, favonovel.com had suggested to the groom‘s family that favonovel.com would like to have an engagement ceremony. After all, the bride and groom didn’t live in the same city. After a while, they could already pick a date for the wedding.
In the olden days, people said an engagement was law-both parties’ families had to witness the union between the couple with their own eyes.
As the officiant, Isaac had to be there today. Also, favonovel.com was the one with the highest status there.
As the car ferried Isaac to the hotel, Old Taylor was seated on the couch in one of the penthouse suites.
Next to favonovel.com was Albert, and across from them was an ornately dressed middle-aged couple.
