He vaguely remembered that four years ago, she had almost died at the muzzle of Cosmos Blossom’s gun. At that time, she had said explicitly that she didn’t want to die, she just wanted to live well.
With that thought, Clayton Howard’s grip on the steering wheel involuntarily tightened.
No matter what, he had to get her back to England safely!
“We haven’t even gotten married yet, wouldn’t it be such a pity to die like this?” Suddenly, she raised her head and looked at the man in the driving seat with a light chuckle.
This expression, on the contrary, made him slightly stunned.
Isn’t she scared?
As if resigning herself to fate, Camila Walker began to chat cheerfully with him, “So many times, I’ve fantasized about wearing a white wedding dress, walking alongside Father and you down the red carpet, and every time I think about this, I feel so happy.”
Since they were going to die anyway, she didn’t feel any shyness at this moment; why not speak out about her regrets before death?
“Are you proposing to me?” Her words relaxed Clayton Howard’s tense and hanging heart abruptly, and he couldn’t help but let a hint of jest surface.
“Then would you marry me?” She watched him with a soft chuckle in response, feeling like the hero and heroine in a TV show, aiming to put a perfect end to the story, leaving no regrets in this life.
If he wasn’t in the middle of driving, he really would have wanted to hold her tightly in his arms.
Such a thing should be initiated by him, shouldn’t it?
He looked at her, his eyes deep with affection, then he spoke very seriously, “Camila Walker.”
His sudden seriousness made Camila Walker momentarily puzzled and lost. Why did he suddenly look at her with such earnestness?
“Hmm?”
“Once we get back to the country, let’s get married, okay?”
She initially wanted to express her regrets, but she hadn’t expected him to be so serious, which left her somewhat stunned.
Just as she was coming back to her senses and ready to agree with a ‘yes’, suddenly, a burst of cellphone ringtone interrupted.
Clayton Howard shifted his line of sight and answered the phone once again.
Whatever was said on the phone, it seemed to make Clayton Howard’s solemn expression gradually ease up.
“Okay.”
“What happened?” After hanging up the phone, as Camila Walker noticed his clearing expression, she couldn’t help but grow curious.
But Clayton Howard turned his head, not answering her question, and instead asked again, “You first answer my previous question.”
Camila Walker was slightly taken aback. The previous question? To get married?
“Okay, yes.”
After she answered, she felt that the atmosphere was a bit off–other people’s proposals were romantic and warm, but why was hers so simple?
Well, whether or not they could survive today was still a question; how important could the simplicity of a proposal be?
“You said it, you can’t go back on your word once we’re back in the country.”
