Chapter 3330 Don't Even Know When It Started "Rain, I'm someone who has always been slow to understand my own feelings. After all these years, I've finally realized how special my feelings for you are. Thank you for your patience and understanding, and for always being there for me. I'm so grateful you cinto my life.
"Today, I'd like us to take the next step forward. I hope you'll givethis chance. Rain, I like you. I don't even know when it started, but I'm deeply in love with you now. Will you be my girlfriend?" Gale gripped the champagne roses tightly in his hands. His heart was pounding, thumping like crazy as he waited for her answer.
Rain did not keep him waiting long.
She wiped the tears from the comers of her eyes, then let out a little laugh and smiled brightly. Taking the champagne roses from his hand, she nodded and replied, "Yes, I will." "Hurray!" Applause erupted from everyone around them.
Luke and Luca also stood up, joining in the applause to celebrate the happy couple.
Music soon began to flow from the speakers.
Gale took the flowers from Rain, set them aside, and then extended his hand toward her. "May I have this dance, beautiful lady?" "Of course." Rain's cheeks flushed. She was usually straightforward and carefree. The nature of their work required them to be skilled in many areas, including dancing, which they were both quite good at.
Gale led her to the center of the park, and they began to dance gracefully. Their movements were elegant, and for the first time, their gaze toward each other was full of affection.
Their eyes held only each other, filled with a deep, blossoming love.
Others around them paired up, joining in the dance.
Luke extended a hand to Luca, bending slightly forward. "May I invite you for a dance?" Luca nodded, gave him a gentle smile, and placed her hand in his. "I'd love to." He guided her to the center of the park, and the two began to dance together.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs Gordan watched the scene unfold, he could not help but cluck his tongue. Everyone was happily paired up, leaving him as the odd one out in this romantic atmosphere.
Suddenly, someone crossed his mind, which only made him feel more restless.
"Mr. Norton, may I invite you for a dance?" One of Gale's female colleagues approached him.
Gordan recognized her from a previous mission they had partnered on. He regarded this woman as competent- skilled enough not to hold anyone back. However, beyond that, he had no other impression.
"I don't dance," Gordan replied in a cold voice.
The woman's expression turned awkward. Realizing it was just an excuse, she forced a smile and walked away. It was clear Gordan was not interested. If she insisted, she might even jeopardize her job.
The event did not last long and ended around 9:00 pm.
A planning team was there to handle the clean-up, so none of the guests had to worry about it.
Luke and Luca left together. When they got home, the three kids were already asleep.
After freshening up, Luca cout to find that Luke looked a bit troubled.
"What's wrong?" asked Luca, sensing something unpleasant had happened.
"There's news from Seoul. She booked a ticket and is coming back," replied Luke. He was referring to Allison. Luca froze. "When's her flight?" "Tomorrow." "So soon?" Luca was surprised.
"Yes. She's worried about the doctors and nurses causing her trouble, so she's hurrying back to have the Crawford family as her support," said Luke, rubbing his temples.
"But we haven't even had tto install the new furniture. When will she get to A City?" asked Luca. The furniture was bought yesterday and arrived today, but the store staff had told them that the installation team was busy and could not cuntil tomorrow.
If Allison cback and saw that the furniture was not installed yet, she would probably throw a fit.
It was not that Luca feared her anger. She just did not want to deal with it for no reason.
"She should arrive in the evening." Luke estimated, taking into account the flight duration and the tdifference. "What's the matter?" "The new furniture has arrived, but the installers can only cby tomorrow morning. Since your mother will be staying here, we'll need everything ready before she arrives. Otherwise, she'll definitely complain." Luca let out a long sigh, feeling a bit helpless.
"If they can't finish it in time, she can stay at a hotel first." Luke wrapped his arm around her and smoothed the lines of worry on her forehead. "Don't worry about it. I'll handle everything." Luca nodded, though it was hard not to worry.
However, with him taking care of things, her usual anxiety seemed to fade.
"I'll call the store and ask them to install the furniture first thing tomorrow," said Luca, reaching for her phone to contact the staff.
"I'll take care of swork as well. No need to wait for me. I have a meeting," replied Luke, glancing at the tas he headed to the office across the hall.
"Alright." Luca nodded. After confirming with the store staff, she checked on the kids in their bedroom, ensuring they were all peacefully asleep before returning to her own room to wash up and rest.
The next evening, Luke parked at the entrance of A City's International Airport. He checked the flight information on his phone.
Allison's plane had just landed, so it would be at least ten minutes before she cout.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA flash of impatience crossed Luke's eyes as he picked up his laptop and continued to tackle his work.
Fifteen minutes later, his phone rang.
He answered, putting it on speaker. "Who is this?" "Oh? I went to Seoul for a while, and you deleted my number?" Allison's tone was sharp.
"I didn't check the screen," replied Luke.
She scoffed. "I've arrived. Where are you?" "I'm at Exit E. Just cout," said Luke, opening his car door.
"Exit E? You're not going to help with my luggage?" Allison's voice was shrill, clearly unhappy with his attitude.
"It's just a bit of luggage. It won't take much effort," Luke replied in a cold voice. He stood outside without any En intention of going in.
The weather was stifling, so the fact that he even stepped out was a great ve generosity. If it were not for the m crowded parking and his concern that she would not spot him easily, he would have stayed in the car, waiting for her to cout. She let out a cold sneer and hung up.
Ten minutes later, Allison emerged from Exit E.
Despite A City's sweltering heat, she was bundled up from head to toe, drawing quite a few stares. Luke spotted her immediately.
He also noticed the woman beside her.
He was not surprised. He knew Allison had bought two tickets.
He did not ask who the other passenger was and assumed it was the sperson who had returned E with her during New Year's.
