Chapter 247
A wave of sadness washed over Selena, and she jerked her head up. “Jude, I want to propose toPierre.”
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 andfound out the truth, but I would really like to propose. I want to be with him and face everythingtogether 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 inher embrace, she continued, “My dear, just do what you would like to do. If you fail and get yourheart 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 atime like this?”
Jude had always been merciless with her words, but Selena knew what was going on in her mind.novelbin
“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 funeralwas not held in grandeur, but it still had to be done; after all, funerals were basically held as a showfor the living.
On the burial day, Selena took a look from afar and silently vowed that she would definitely avengehim.
Unexpectedly, Pierre didn’t come looking for her immediately. After waiting a couple of days, hefinally showed up on the third day.
With a faint grief-stricken look on their faces, they stayed in the bedroom quietly, neither of themspeaking. Pierre stood by the window looking out, and Selena gazed at him, unable to read hismind, 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 suddenlywent 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 seethat 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 hisfather. 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 waitanymore. I wish to start a family with you. I would like to stay by your side and make up for themistakes I made. Although I didn’t kill Jamie, it was undeniably my carelessness that led to hisaccident.” At that point, she paused to take a deep breath. “Jamie is my own son, so I’ll definitelyfind 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 thisincident and he was against our relationship from the beginning, but I’ll try my best to let your familyaccept 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 inlife?”
Without a doubt, Selena knew that it was bad timing for marriage now, and she was not in a rush toget married to him. Despite that, she would like to express her feelings and not waste anymoretime.
A life could be lost in an instant; just a second ago, she was watching Jameson playing aroundhappily, but in the next second, they were separated by life and death.
