Chapter 1467: Chapter 1467 Proposal
Charlotte just nodded, then turned around and hung Justin Battleson’s coat on the rack, not realizing how pale her face looked right now.
As soon as Charlotte turned around, she heard a soft sigh from Justin behind her.
Thinking that Justin was relieved to finally relax, Charlotte couldn’t help pressing her tongue to the roof of her mouth.
Just then, Justin’s voice echoed in Charlotte’s ear.
"Charlotte."
Charlotte didn’t turn around, but she heard Justin’s footsteps gradually approaching her.
"Since you’ve already seen it, there’s no need to hide it from you anymore."
But Justin’s words set off alarm bells in Charlotte’s mind.
Even the always composed Charlotte found herself lost in random thoughts.
"I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but..."
Justin seemed to be talking to Charlotte, but it also seemed like he was talking to himself. When he stood in front of Charlotte, he noticed a strange expression on her face.
"What are you thinking? Why that look?"
"Nothing." Charlotte’s voice was a bit heavy, avoiding Justin’s reaching hand, she lifted her foot to head toward the bathroom.
But Justin directly reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
"I think this must be the most failed thing I’ve ever done in my life."
Justin’s muffled voice came from above Charlotte’s head. When Charlotte looked up, she saw the box that had been in Justin’s palm being handed to her.
Inside was a diamond ring.
For a moment, Charlotte’s eyes widened, and she couldn’t even find her voice.
"You..."
No wonder she felt the emblem on the box was familiar earlier; wasn’t that Ashton’s very famous jewelry brand?
But Charlotte never expected that Justin would take out a ring and present it to her.
"The ring arrived today. I wanted to prepare for the proposal afterward, but I didn’t expect you to see it early."
Justin spoke, but his expression became increasingly embarrassing.
"Proposal?"
Charlotte opened her mouth, and her throat finally made a sound, but the deep shock in her eyes still made her doubt whether she was hallucinating.
Justin released his hand that was holding Charlotte’s waist, his throat moved up and down, he cleared his throat and slowly began to speak.
But at this moment, his voice was a bit tight. The always adept Justin showed a bit of nervousness and unease now.
Perhaps it was because the surprise he’d prepared all along was discovered so absurdly, or perhaps Justin had never done this before, his expression was a bit awkward.
"Charlotte, I’ve done many hurtful things to you in the past that caused you pain, and every day I am grateful, grateful that you could forgive me and come back to my side."
Saying this, Justin paused, his lashes drooping slightly, and the dense lashes cast a small shadow on his cheek under the lights.
"If I asked you if you would be willing to marry me again... what would you say?"
The room became extremely quiet with the falling of Justin’s last syllable, as if something was quietly spreading between Justin and Charlotte.
And precisely because of this silence, it was unclear whose heartbeat suddenly became louder.
At this moment, Justin quietly shifted his gaze away, and a trace of nervousness seemed to flicker in his eyes.
