His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1297 The Proposal

Without a second thought, Cassie quickly put her cell phone away, walked down the front steps of the

apartment, and immediately headed to Nick's company, Lansh Technology.

When she arrived, Cassie was stopped by a guard on the first floor.

"Can I ask who you are here to see?"

"I want to see Mr. Ge of Lansh Technology. I'm his girlfriend." Cassie didn't conceal her identity and told

him straight-up.

Clearly confused, the guard stared at Cassie. 'I never thought such an introverted young man would be

dating someone, ' he thought.

Although the security guard was curious about it, he still refrained from asking and merely replied,

"Okay, let me check for you."

After a moment, he hung up the phone and apologized, "The receptionist at Lansh Tech said that Mr.

Ge wasn't in right now. He's on a business trip."

The news made Cassie anxious and she urgently asked, "Did she tell you where he went?"

He could sense Cassie's worry, so he tried to comfort her, "The receptionist didn't say. But she said that

Mr. Ge would be back soon enough, maybe just in a few days."

'He left again!'

With that, Cassie was seething with rage. After all, she was Nick's girlfriend—how could he just leave

without telling her? He refused to answer the phone and she had no idea where he was. It was

infuriating.

"Thank you. I have to go now."

As she left, a scowl was evident on her face.

Looking up at the sky, she could feel the warm and bright sunshine. Still, the sunshine couldn't reach

her doomed heart.

At this point, she was at her wit's end. All she could do was wonder about what went wrong between

her and Nick.

As hard as she thought, Cassie still couldn't figure it out.

Holley and Black grew deeply attached to each other. After a few days, Black already had an idea to

surprise Holley.

Although they hadn't spent much time together, the feeling she gave him was unlike that of any other

woman—Black was certain that he had already fallen deeply in love with her and that he wanted to be

with her for the rest of his life.

On that note, Black was determined to have a family with her so they could grow old together.

One of those days, while they were on their regular after-work date, Black brought out a whole bouquet

of red roses for Holley before picking out a small box from his pocket, getting down on one knee, and

staring at Holley with deep affection.

There was no surprise in Holley's heart at the scene, only panic. Of course, she couldn't reveal any hint

of resistance. Instead, she pretended to be pleasantly surprised and touched as well as she was able

to.

"Holley, I love you. I want to propose to you. We can build a family together. I will always love you and

never betray you. Will you marry me?" When Black opened the box, Holley was faced with a shiny

huge diamond resting inside.

After finishing his proposal, Black looked up at Holley with bright eyes, believing he would hear the Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

answer he wanted.

At that point, Holley was barely keeping her smile intact. She didn't dare look at Black directly because

she knew she would break her act if she did.

"This is so sudden… It all happened in a flash. I'm completely unprepared," she smiled awkwardly.

Truly, she was caught in a dilemma.

On the one hand, it was Charles who she loved, not Black, so it was clear that she couldn't accept the

proposal. On the other hand, she urgently needed to secure Black's trust to gain his shares so she

couldn't directly refuse him.

Put in such a spotlight, Holley was so nervous that her forehead was sweating, the droplets rolling

down her temple, to her cheek, and to her jaw.

"I didn't just suddenly propose to you. I've been thinking about this for a long time. I'm sure that I want

to spend the rest of my life with you. I hope you can give me this opportunity to take care of you for as

long as I live."

As he firmly said it, he nudged the ring forward an inch.

"But I still think it's far too sudden. Give me a few days to think about it, okay? I'm sorry."

Without any other excuse to refuse him, she kept her answers vague.

Though he was disappointed, Black also knew that what he did was rather abrupt. All he could think to

do was find another opportunity to propose to Holley. Encouraging himself, he thought, 'I must succeed

next time. Holley will feel my sincerity and accept me.'

"Well, Holley, I respect your choice. I will wait for you as long as you need. Here, take the ring. You can

put it on when you're certain about accepting me," Black said affectionately.

Taking the ring, she simply said, "Thank you, Black."
