Chapter 596 - Proposal!
Andrew kissed Alveena passionately, showing her how much he missed her. Alveena was returning his kiss with equal intensity as his.
'Oh God, I missed this man so much!' Alveena thought to herself as she grabbed Andrew's head, pulling him closer for a deep kiss.
After that long deep kiss, Andrew rested his forehead on Alveena's forehead as he cupped her face.
Then Alveena remembered that she was supposed to be mad and upset with him. She punched his chest again.
"Why are you here, Andrew? Don't you know that tonight is my engagement party with Brandon? Are you here to say goodbye to me for one last time?"
Even though she tried hard, she still failed to hold her tears. Just thinking about saying goodbye to Andrew tonight was giving her an unimaginable pain in her heart.
"I know tonight is your engagement. That's why I am here. And to make it clear, I'm not here to say goodbye. I am here to stop this engagement!" Andrew said firmly.
Alveena was at a loss for words when she heard his words.
'He came here to stop my engagement? How come? Why?'
Then Alveena hit his chest again. "I hate you, Andrew! Why are you doing this to me? Are you planning to make me become your mistress?"
"You are marrying someone. Can't I do that as well?"
All her unhappiness toward Andrew resurfaced. She was mad and jealous. She knew she had no right. Besides, she agreed with him willingly even though there was no certainty in their relationship.
"Yes, you can't do that!" Andrew said matter-of-factly.
"Why can't I?" Alveena argued with him.
Andrew let out a husky laugh seeing the annoyed expression of Alveena.
"Because you are mine. You are my woman!" Andrew declared while wiping her tears.
Alveena had the urge to punch him on his face.
"Andrew, even though I love you, I will not become your mistress!"
Andrew chuckled once again.
"This is not funny! Why are you laughing?"
Andrew pulled Alveena into a warm hug and said, "Who told you that I am going to make you my mistress? Never!"
"Then why are you here?"
Andrew didn't respond right away. While he was hugging Alveena, he secretly took something inside his pocket.
Then he raised his hand to give a signal to the person who was also at the rooftop of the nearby building. Daniel saw Andrew's signal through his telescope.
"Alvee, I'm gonna show you something," After telling that he turned her around to face the building nearby. Andrew continued hugging her from behind.
Alveena looked confused. She didn't know what Andrew was planning to do. Then she saw the billboard on the other building, flashing something. It was a message for her.
[ Alveena, I'm sorry for hurting your feelings ]
That was the first message she read.
'Andrew prepared this just to apologize to me…'
[ I'm sorry for being a jerk to you… ]
[ I'm sorry for making you cry… ]
[ Please give me a chance to make it up to you… ]
[ This time I promise I will take good care of you… ]
[ Never again to hurt you… ]
[ Never again to make you cry… ]
[ I will try my best to make you happy… ]
[ So please… Can you be mine? ]
[ Can you be mine… not only for seven days? ]
[ Can you be mine… forever? ]
[ Miss Alveena Sy… Will you marry me? ]
Alveena gasped upon reading those last sentences from the billboard. She froze in her spot. She didn't know what to say. She was speechless. She felt she was just dreaming.
'What is this? Is this true? Is Andrew proposing to me? But why? How come?' Alveena could hardly believe this.
This time Andrew turned her around to face him. It was a conventional act to do it but still, Andrew kneeled in front of Alveena while holding the ring.
"Alveena, you might be wondering why I am doing this. I know I am a total jerk for hurting Hannah and you. I am a selfish greedy jerk. But I hope you can still accept me…"
"Alveena… I'm sorry if it took me a lot of time before realizing this. Between you and Hannah, I chose you. You are the woman I want to spend my life with…"
"I hope you can forgive me for hurting your feelings. I promise to compensate you for all the tears you shed because of me."
"I hope you can still give me a chance."
Andrew held her hand, his eyes lingered on Alveena's beautiful face. She was not saying a word but she was already crying.
"Will you marry me, Alveena?" Andrew asked her, his eyes filled with love and adoration for her.
Alveena was not able to utter a word. She was still in a state of shock after listening to those words.
She had never expected that Andrew would choose her. She felt like dreaming right now. If this was just a dream then she would wish not to wake up.
Meanwhile, Andrew was very anxious because of Alveena's silence. He was afraid that she would no longer want him because of the pain she got from him.
But he would not allow Alveena to say no. He couldn't bear to see her marrying another guy. He would not allow that to happen.
"Alveena… say something. Please… say yes. If you don't… I will jump from this rooftop! And you will never see me again," Andrew said, threatening Alveena.
Alveena: "..."
Because of Andrew's words, Alveena finally recovered from that great shock of her life.
She squinted her eyes at Andrew and pinched his cheeks.
"Are you really proposing to me? Or you are threatening me?" Alveena pouted her lips.
Andrew also pouted his lips while putting on a pitiful face.
"I didn't hear your answer yet! Does your silence mean yes?"
Alveena finally smiled and giggled, although her eyes were burned with tears.
"Yes! Of course, yes! I want to marry you, Andrew! I also want to make you mine, forever!"
Andrew felt the surge of intense happiness in his heart the moment he heard her 'Yes'.
Because of his excitement, he forgot to put the ring on her finger as he stood up right away, hugging and lifting her in his arms while screaming "Yes! Yes! She agreed! She agreed!!"
