Jolly ran around the room with a spatula and was chased by Gloria. “I didn’t mean it! Can’t I pay you another one? I’ll buy a new one for you! You can pick the biggest diamond!”
“Nobody wants you to buy it! Am I going to marry you? What kind of ring should you buy me?” “I won’t even marry you even if you wanted to!” “Get out and look for the ring!”
Gloria’s hair was about to stand on end due to anger. It was a marriage proposal that she had been looking forward to for a long time. Ever since she alighted from the plane last night and received the photo of the rose from Justin, she had not slept well all night. Even the blizzard did not stop her from coming..
Moreover, Victor did not earn much, but the diamond ring was big! He must have spent half a year’s salary to get it!
Gloria got even more furious the more she thought about it. Standing at the door of the bedroom, she banged it several times while shouting, “Jolly Carter! Come out of there!”
“I don’t want to! It’s minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Are you trying to freeze me to death if I head out to search for it? Can’t I buy you an identical one?”
“I don’t want it. I want that one!” “Help!” Jolly could feel Gloria’s breakdown even through the door, so she urged, “Victor, take care of her! Can’t I just pay you back?”
“Ria.” Victor’s voice came from behind. Gloria halted her movements and slammed the door. All of a sudden, she felt aggrieved. She turned around with red eyes and explained, “I’m not losing my temper. I just think that the ring is really important.”
She was about to cry. Victor stretched out his hand toward her and slowly spread it out to reveal the ring on his palm. “I found it. It’s not lost.”
When Gloria was scolding Jolly, he kept searching for the ring outside, but it actually fell inside the door frame. It was just that they didn’t notice it at first. “You haven’t answered my question just now,” he insisted.
Gloria looked at the ring in his palm as she hadn’t recovered from the joy of having found it. The moment she heard that, she clenched her fists.
In front of everyone, she picked up the ring and wore it herself. “You idiot! Of course I do! It’s too late for you to regret now!”
While Victor was still stunned, the door behind Gloria opened and Jolly leaned out halfway with the camera in her hand to snap the picture. She even started booing and imitating Gloria’s tone, “You idiot! Shouldn’t you give me a sweet kiss right now?”
Victor suddenly blushed. “Jolly!” Gloria turned around, motioning like she wanted to beat Jolly up. However, she was greeted by a door slam.
Jolly’s proud voice came from inside. “Look, you found the ring, but she’s still so fierce. Open your eyes wide, Victor. Make sure to consider her temper one last time before you officially register your marriage.”
“Well, I’m still way better than you!” Gloria kicked the door angrily. Victor was initially nervous, but after Jolly’s little incident, they had a happy ending, even though it was rough. Suddenly, he grabbed Gloria’s hands and said, “I have something to show you.”
The red roses that filled the house were all for her! After watching the show for a long time, the audience finally settled down.
Hernandez was a sentimental man. He wiped his tears with a handkerchief and expressed emotionally, “Oh, my heavens, this is like a romance movie. They run into each other regardless of the snowstorm.”
Like a drama king, he turned around to look at Rachel with an exaggerated affectionate expression, “Chris, if it is to see you, I’ll be there, regardless of rain or shine.”
Justin retorted with an expressionless face, “You should keep an eye on the weather forecast. It is best to depart from the seaside cities in the south of the country in summer.”
“Why?” “There are many typhoons.” Once those words were spit out, Hernandez glared at him. Leroy laughed out loud at their bickering and supported Justin by teasing Hernandez, “There are many torrential showers of rain in summer too.”
Hernandez was ruthlessly ridiculed and could only seek Rachel for comfort. “Chris, I am sincere to you. How can they say that to me? | feel so hurt.” Rachel held back her smile and agreed with them instead. “Well, they’re not wrong.”
“You’ve changed, Chris. You used to be kind to me.” “That’s my obedience to the boss,” she corrected. She picked up the spatula on the ground and said, “It seems that Miss Carter won’t dare to come out for a while. I’ll clean up the mess in the kitchen. Does anyone want pasta? I’ll cook for you.”
“Me!” Someone who had just said that his heart was hurt was the first to raise his hand. “I want more cheese, please!” Leroy was on a diet, so he decided not to eat. At this moment, Justin stood up and offered, “I’ll help you.”
Although there were some accidents in the process, the result was quite satisfactory, so they decided to have something good to celebrate in the evening.
Facing the limited ingredients in the kitchen, Rachel and Justin cracked their heads, exercised their hands, and even managed to bake the cakes themselves. While decorating the cake, he chopped onions and prepared pasta while she casually asked about him being the ‘spy’.
“We thought you were the most tight-lipped person among all of us. We didn’t expect you to leak it to Gloria, but that’s fine. She still managed to catch the last ride.”
“If she had enough time to think about it, it would be safer that way. If she comes, it means she agreed. If she doesn’t come, at least it won’t be too embarrassing.”
Jolly had prepared such a grand gesture because she was sure that Gloria was willing to marry, but what if she was not?
Justin still knew a thing or two about Victor’s character. It would not be nice if the situation turned out to be awkward at that time.
Rachel was surprised to hear that. When she heard Justin and Victor talking about their relationship that night, she was quite shocked to hear that he not only considered Gloria’s future happiness but also cared about Victor.
“I just have to slice this onion and fry it, right?” Justin’s voice pulled Rachel out of her thoughts. “Yeah. Fry it, then pour the sauce in… Hey, don’t touch your eyes.”
Since Justin was an amateur at cooking, he did not know much about the characteristics of some of the ingredients. As soon as his hands that were handling the onion earlier touched his eyes, his sight turned foggy. It was so uncomfortable that he started blinking rapidly, letting tears roll down his cheeks instantly. “Go to the bathroom and wash up,” urged Rachel.
“I’ll take you there. This way.” She put down what was in her hand and dragged Justin out by the arm. Unexpectedly, they ran into Charlotte head-on.
“Daddy, you’re crying!” The little girl might not be big in size, but her voice was loud and clear. When she shouted, everyone in the room heard it.
Everyone was stunned. Jolly poked her head from the couch and her jaw dropped in shock. “No way! Are you heartbroken that Gloria is going to get married?”
Seeing him like this, Gloria was deeply moved. “I understand. I can understand how you feel. Don’t worry about me. I’ll live a happy life!”
Justin was completely speechless. This incident was so obscured that many years later, when Gloria’s daughter brought it up with her daughter, she would tell her daughter how reluctant her uncle was to marry her off, to the point that he cried on the spot, and no one was able to calm him down…
