Chapter 247
A wave of sadness washed over Selena, and she jerked her head up. “Jude, I want to propose to Pierre.”
Taken aback at the word ‘propose’, Jude exclaimed, “What? You would like to propose?”
“I know this timing is not suitable, and I’m not cleared of my charges, nor have I avenged Jamie and found out the truth, but I would really like to propose. I want to be with him and face everything together with him. You’ll support my decision, won’t you?” Selena asked, looking at her hopefully.
In response, Jude snorted. “Will you not do it if you don’t have my support?” Holding her friend in her embrace, she continued, “My dear, just do what you would like to do. If you fail and get your heart broken, just come back to me and I’ll… enrage and mock you properly.”
Pushing her aside, Selena cried out, “What kind of person are you? You’re still joking around at a time like this?”
Jude had always been merciless with her words, but Selena knew what was going on in her mind.
“You’re now going to pick out a ring with me.”
“No problem,” Jude replied. Then, she went with Selena to pick out a ring in a jewelry shop.
On the other hand, Jameson’s funeral was held the next day. Since he was so young, the funeral was not held in grandeur, but it still had to be done; after all, funerals were basically held as a show for the living. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
On the burial day, Selena took a look from afar and silently vowed that she would definitely avenge him.
Unexpectedly, Pierre didn’t come looking for her immediately. After waiting a couple of days, he finally showed up on the third day.
With a faint grief-stricken look on their faces, they stayed in the bedroom quietly, neither of them speaking. Pierre stood by the window looking out, and Selena gazed at him, unable to read his mind, but she knew that now was the time.
Fishing out the ring she had prepared some time ago, she walked right up to him and suddenly went down on one knee. “Pierre, will you take me as your wife?”
Looking at her in astonishment, Pierre then glanced at the shimmering diamond ring. He could see that her eyes were filled with tears as well as sincerity.
“I know that now is not a good time. Jamie has just passed away and you’re still mourning as his father. Even though we already agreed on our future before, it’s still unsuitable to bring it up now,” she said. Trying to keep her choked voice steady, she continued, “But I really don’t want to wait anymore. I wish to start a family with you. I would like to stay by your side and make up for the mistakes I made. Although I didn’t kill Jamie, it was undeniably my carelessness that led to his accident.” At that point, she paused to take a deep breath. “Jamie is my own son, so I’ll definitely find the murderer and kill him to avenge Jamie. So, let’s get married.” With one knee on the floor, she raised the ring again. “I know that your father’s impression of me has worsened with this incident and he was against our relationship from the beginning, but I’ll try my best to let your family accept me. I’ll try my best to be a good wife to you and share all your burdens, happiness, troubles, sadness and sorrows. I’m willing to share everything with you, so will you let me be your partner in life?”
Without a doubt, Selena knew that it was bad timing for marriage now, and she was not in a rush to get married to him. Despite that, she would like to express her feelings and not waste anymore time.
A life could be lost in an instant; just a second ago, she was watching Jameson playing around happily, but in the next second, they were separated by life and death.
