Chapter 693

"Silly, you don't need to be so formal with me."

Allen's eyes softened with tenderness.

He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on her cheek.

Then, he extended his hand toward her.

"Come, let me show you over there."

"Okay."

Vivian Bennett felt a slight flutter in her heart.

She placed her hand lightly into his palm.

His hand was warm and strong.

The moment it enveloped her fingers, it felt as if her restless heart had finally found a place to belong.

Could she...

Could she still have happiness?

The two of them ran and laughed through the endless lavender fields.

The wind brushed through their hair, carrying a sweet, fresh fragrance.

It seemed to shut out all their worries.

"Vivian, are you happy?" Allen stopped and gently smoothed her wind-tousled hair, his voice soft.

"Happy." Vivian closed her eyes and took a deep breath, a smile lifting the corners of her lips.

"This is my first time in Provence, my first time standing in such a beautiful flower field... Allen, I'm truly so happy."

"Vivian." Allen suddenly grasped her shoulders, his expression turning serious.

"What is it?" Vivian looked up.

She saw him slowly kneel on one knee.

In his hand, he now held a velvet ring box she hadn't noticed before.

He opened the lid.

A diamond ring sparkled brilliantly in the sunlight.

"Will you marry me?" He looked up at her, his gaze intense.

"Vivian Bennett, I love you. From the moment I met you, I knew the person standing by my side for the rest of my life could only be you."

He took her hand, his words clear and firm, spoken one by one.

Vivian was stunned.

She had been married before, but no one had ever proposed to her so solemnly.

Her heart suddenly began to race uncontrollably.

"Vivian, let me give you happiness. No matter what happened in the past, from now on, I will protect you, love you, forever."

The love in his eyes was unreserved, surrounding her like a tide.

Her cheeks gradually grew warm.

From the day she agreed to date him, she knew this day would come.

She had already decided that if he asked, she would definitely say yes.

If there was anyone in this world who could make her believe in love again, who could make her embrace happiness—

It was undoubtedly Allen, right here before her.

"Allen..." Her voice trembled slightly, her eyes glistening with moisture. "Thank you."

"So... you will?" Allen's eyes lit up. He then seemed to realize, and joy nearly overflowed from his voice.

"Mhm." She lowered her head and gave a slight nod.

Allen immediately slipped the ring onto her ring finger.

He stood up and pulled her into a tight embrace, spinning her around in the sea of purple flowers.

"She said yes! Vivian Bennett said yes to marrying me!"

His cheers scattered with the wind.

The endless waves of flowers seemed to dance for them.
