You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Proposal

With bitterness in her voice, she said, "Donald, we have been together for a long time, but what right do I have to do to blame you as we are only a couple?" Donald knew her meaning behind her words. She wanted him to propose to her, and she wanted to be his wife.

He remembered the conversation she had with Victoria the other evening. He knew that Joanna had something to do with his losing his memory. The last thing he wanted was to marry her, and he needed to find out what happened to him.

He didn’t know what to do, she was waiting for a proposal, and he had to try and keep her calm. For one split second, he could see Edie’s face. Then he thought to himself, "Edie, or Joanna?"

He made the decision quickly. Then, he put her hand in his and kneeled down on one knee and said with sincerity, "I have wanted to do this many times, but the timing never seemed to be right. You are my one true love and I understand you feel insecure. Perhaps, it is time for me....."

She couldn’t believe what she was hearing, and tears raced down her cheeks. This was a typical proposal story, he kneeled down, straightened his back and with a warm and gentle smile, "I do not have a ring, I just wanted you to know how much I love you. Joanna, will you marry me?"

She had been waiting to hear these words for a very long time. She threw herself into his arms, "Yes, I will marry you." Then her eyes overflowed with tears.

Donald wrapped his arms around her, resting his cheek against her head, "Let’s go pick out an engagement ring this afternoon, okay?"

"Okay," she said as her heart was beating rapidly with excitement.

Donald quickly closed his eyes, he knew this day would eventually come, but he felt nothing but emptiness inside. It was as though he lost something important and was never going to get it back.

As soon as he proposed to her, his first thought was of Edie. With Edie, he felt content and secure. When he was around Joanna, he felt nothing. He knew he could never get this kind of feeling from being with Joanna. If he were to marry her, he would never be happy, but there was nothing he could do. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

After comforting Joanna for a while, she finally stopped crying, "What about the newspaper? What are people going to think?"

"It was all made up. My company will have someone take care of it. Don’t worry."

With a gentle voice, he said, "Okay." Then, Donald left for work. Joanna walked him to the door; he leaned over and kissed her lightly on the cheek.

"Come back as soon as you can," she said

"Okay."

They acted as if they really loved one another. As soon as the door was closed, Joanna’s face turned cold, "Edie, Edie again!" She tried her best to control her anger, but she did not believe one word he said. She had no choice. Donald had finally proposed to her. If she did not seize the opportunity, it would only get harder for her to make him propose.

She could feel Donald acting stranger and weirder. He was getting distracted and was becoming less compassionate towards her, and every day she could feel it getting worse.

All this started with Edie’s marriage to Stuart. She knew Donald’s change must be related to Edie. Since she was married, she thought she did not have to worry about her. She did not expect that he would try to visit Edie in secret.

Joanna felt like a thief, holding onto something that did not belong to her. The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. With myriads of thoughts welling up in her mind, she sat on the sofa. Her mind was racing, and finally, she made a decision. She took her phone out and dialed a number.

"Hello, It is me. Maybe it is time to put our plan into action?"

"Sophia, do you want some water?" The assistant asked carefully.

"I will let you know when I need something. Can you not see that I am busy? Get out of here," Sophia was not in a good mood today.

The incident yesterday was all over the news. The director praised Edie in front of the reporters, and it only made Sophia look worse. What was even more unpleasant was that she could not get a hold of Todd. According to his secretary, he went abroad. Therefore, she could not ask him to handle this situation for her. Everything just went from bad to worse.

She sat down on the sofa and logged into Twitter, and below her picture, there were lots of netizens saying all kinds of things about her.

"Who is this bitch? How dare she try to play such an important role."

"She is a horrible actress. Why didn’t they use a substitute? She hit Edie. What a bitch."

"Maybe her appearance is false as well."

Edie got some fans in the incident that happened with Zoe Anna. Now, seeing her being hit by a freshman, they get pissed off.

She was thinking about deleting the posts when she received a call from Joanna.

"Hello."

"Hi, it’s me, Joanna."

"Do you have any idea what I have been going through since I hit Edie? This is going to be the end of my career. I don’t know what to do?"

Sophia was not a professional. When encountered in such a situation, she had no choice, and she had to ask Joanna for help. Joanna wasn’t in any mood to deal with Sophia’s crisis. She told her instantly, "It is time to carry out our plan."

Surprised, she froze, she wanted to delay it. After she thought about what Edie had caused her, she made the decision, "All right, tell me. What are your plans?"

"Do you still remember what I told you last time?"

"Last time.....Yes, but this could kill her."

"You do not want to take the risk? If not, then forget about it. Get out of this industry. You will be beaten sooner or later. If you are too timid to deal with it, then go home and be a good wife to Todd Anderson," Joanna was only trying to provoke Sophia.

She succeeded. If Sophia could marry Todd, she would not have to struggle in the industry. She clenched her teeth and promised, "All right, I will do it." freeweɓnovel.cøm

"Then do it neatly. You know that, right?"

"Joanna, do not worry. I know some guys when I used to be a model. They owe me some money. I think they will agree to do me a favor."

A slow, cold smile spread across her face, "Then, I am looking forward to your good news."
