The light was piercing, and Annabelle Linton instinctively squinted, raising a hand to shield her eyes.
When the light was no longer so blinding, she lowered her hand.
Before her, Aaron Wyatt was kneeling on one knee, holding a square box in his hand.
Inside the box, a beautiful diamond ring lay nestled within, refracting the light and emitting a dazzling brilliance...
Aaron Wyatt gazed at her with deep affection, his eyes and his heart filled with nothing but her. He said gently, "They say it takes seven years for all of a person’s memory cells to metabolize and be replaced. Annabelle, today is the seventh anniversary of the day we met..."
He smiled, a smile so pure and bright, as innocent as the day they first met.
’It seems he’s the only one who hasn’t changed all these years.’
Aaron Wyatt’s clear eyes were fixed on her, his gaze so intense and full of emotion it felt as if it could pull her in. "Seven years... it’s not that long, but it’s not short, either. I’ve been with you from long hair to short hair, and back to long hair again... It feels like it’s been forever, yet it’s all gone by so, so fast... But do you know what? I want to spend another ten ’seven years’ with you. I want to spend the rest of this life with you, and then continue into the next, and be with you for all of eternity. Are you willing?" fгeewebnovёl.com
"It’s time for our friendship to come to an end. I think it’s time for it to become love. So today, on this very memorable day, I’m asking you to marry me."
The entire venue fell silent. Not a single sound could be heard.
Some people in the audience even covered their mouths and began to cry.
Seven years of devotion, all just to see her happy. What a profound love...
Aaron Wyatt stared at Annabelle Linton, his deep eyes unwavering. "Annabelle Linton, marry me."
The crowd below erupted, chanting in unison, "Marry him! Marry him!"
Annabelle Linton looked at Aaron Wyatt.
’The man before me... just like in my past life, he radiates a feeling of warmth just by looking at him.’
Looking at his face, she seemed to see again the days they had once spent together.
Back at their university in Albion, she would always find him under the sycamore tree after her classes, busy with his laptop. The moment he looked up and saw her, he’d close it and ask something simple like, "How were your classes today?" She would smile and answer, and then they would leave together.
Afterward, they would always go to the supermarket for groceries. On their way out, they would pass a dessert shop and pick up a box of donuts. Then they would head back to cook, eat, and spend their days together...
’Their friendship had been that simple for so many years. And for all those years, he had loved me in secret, giving me his all, while my heart and eyes were set on someone else...’
’I know the pain of loving someone you can’t have. We were kindred spirits in that suffering.’
’Now, there’s no love left in my heart. I can’t fall in love with anyone ever again.’
’So be it.’
’I owed him too much in my past life. I’ll use the rest of this one to repay him.’ freёwebnoѵel.com
’Aaron Wyatt, I want to do something for you, too.’
’If your greatest wish is for us to be together, then I can accept that.’
’From now on, I will be a good wife. Thank you for wanting me, despite everything.’
’For the rest of our lives... I’ll be in your care.’
The corners of Annabelle Linton’s lips turned up slightly, and a single word escaped them: "Okay."
’She would spend the rest of her life with him. An ordinary, simple life—the very kind she had always longed for.’
’She believed they would be happy together.’
Leona Grant quietly watched as an ecstatic Aaron Wyatt asked Annabelle Linton once more, "Annabelle Linton, will you marry me?"
Annabelle Linton said she would.
The simple, two-word answer made him laugh out loud.
He just watched Annabelle Linton in silence.
Helpless, heartbroken, and pitiful. But Annabelle Linton only had eyes for Aaron Wyatt.
