As soon as Morrison said that, Leah made a stunning appearance in a champagne-colored low-necked long gown.
Under the misty light, the slowly approaching figure gradually became clearer, with exquisite makeup on and a graceful temperament.
Morrison’s gaze was fixed on her, and his eyes could not help but move with her.
“Sorry to have kept you guys waiting.” Leah stood in front of them with a smile on her face.
Morrison suddenly returned to his senses, cleared his throat, and instantly took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders.
Leah was caught off guard by his abrupt action.
Morrison explained solemnly, “The air conditioners are on. I’m afraid that you’ll catch a cold.”
Leah wanted to take off his jacket. “But it’s very warm here.”
“No, you must be feeling very cold.” Morrison held her hand, not letting her take the jacket off of her.
Waylon and Cameron exchanged gazes and smiled helplessly.
“Lay.” Benjamin came over and saw Waylon. “Oh, Wayne, you’ve come too.”
Waylon picked up his wine glass and proposed a toast. “Morrison is my buddy, my brother from another mother. Now that he’s getting engaged, it’s only natural for me to want to come over to share this moment with him.”
Benjamin laughed. “How I wish things could be this lively here every day. I can’t wait to organize a wedding ceremony for them now.”
Leah could not help but feel helpless. “We’ve only been together for such a short time, and you’re already in a hurry to wed us. What if things don’t go according to what we foresee now?” All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“What do you think won’t go accordingly?” Morrison frowned and turned to stare at Leah.
Leah wrapped her arms around his and said with a hint of hilarity flashing across her eyes, “I’m saying that it’s inappropriate for us to hold a wedding now. It’s too hasty, and we’ve done nothing to prepare for it, right?”
Morrison squinted. “I don’t think that’s what you mean..
”
Leah leaned next to his ear and said softly, “So you’d better behave. Otherwise, I might return you and ask for a refund.”
Morrison laughed angrily and tightened his arm that was wrapping around her waist, pulling her closer to him. “If you dare to return me, I’ll go to the entrance of your father’s company and launch a protest.”
Leah did not know how to react to his response.
The couple that was getting engaged today cut the cake and popped two bottles of champagne together, and under the witness of all the relatives and friends present, Morrison took out an expensive- looking ruby ring. “This is a ring that my parents left with me, it’s the inheritance of the Shaws, and they’ve asked me to hand it to my wife when the time comes. This is the one and only of its kind, and I’ll give it to you right here, right now.”
After saying that, he knelt on one knee. “Leah Younge, will you marry me?”
There were cheers at the scene.
Leah chuckled out loud and immediately stretched out her hand. “Of course. Now shut up and help me put it on!”
Morrison slipped the ring onto her ring finger, and Leah hugged him immediately, with tears welling up in her eyes.
It was already 9:00 p.m. when the engagement banquet ended.
Cameron and Waylon were walking by the riverside park, and the alternate street lights elongated the shadows behind them, and the breeze from the river felt very cool.
“I just realized that I’ve never been able to go around Bassburgh properly after being here for so long.”
Waylon held her hand. “Are you tired?”
“I’m fine. Anyway, the doctor said that the due date is only two months away, and I should walk around whenever I can, saying that the lack of exercise might affect my stamina during childbirth.”
Waylon grinned. “Remember to tell me when you think you’re too tired to go on.”
Cameron turned to glare at him. “Am I the kind of idiot who would try to show off at this time?”
“That’s hard to tell.”
Cameron was rendered speechless and did not want to talk to him anymore.
Seeing a cart selling ice cream cones, Cameron stopped and jerked Waylon’s arm.
He stopped, looked back at her, glanced in the direction of her sight, and saw a few children queuing up to buy themselves some ice cream.
Cameron shook his arm and whispered, “I’ll only take a few bites, so can I have one? Please.”
Waylon rubbed the bridge of his nose. Knowing she was craving ice cream, he said helplessly, “Okay, I’ll get you one.”
Cameron smiled and waited for him on the spot.
