Suddenly, he knelt on one knee and took out a velvet box from his pocket, in which there was a strange
and flaunting diamond ring.
The ring was made of platinum. Several gold diamonds were embedded into the shape of crescent.
Around the ring was a blue diamond as deep as the earth in the center.
She opened her mouth wide as if she was frightened.
"Marry me, Sophia." He took her hand.
She was at a loss for words. She didn't know what to do. She was unable to think. She felt blocked by
thousands of complex and unknown feelings. She just stared at Lucas dully.
He put the ring on her slender ring finger.
He didn't need her answer. He would marry her!
A cool wind blew in from the window. He lifted her to his chest and put her on the bed.
The bed was very soft, like what she felt now, very drunk.
Her heart was light and relaxed, as if she was dreaming. The only thing that could make her feel real
was the shining ring on her finger, which was too heavy for her to ignore.
After a long time, she finally woke up. But the moment she opened her mouth, she made him want to
spit blood.
"Well, we get engaged first, and then get married in two years?"
"Sophia!" He stared at her and asked, "do you have premarital phobia?"
"I just think we should wait until our relationship is more stable." She pouted. Only half a year after her
mother and that bastard got married, he cheated on her mother and abandoned her and her mother.
She didn't want to repeat her mother's bad behaviors.
"What are you worrying about?" His tightly frowned eyebrows were not only filled with fury that he was
trying to restrain, but also hurt a little.
"Lucas." She put her arms around his neck and said, "I want to try harder to close the distance
between us. You don't know that the people always think that I don't deserve your love, which will hurt
my self-esteem." She did not speak out the reason above, which could be seen from his expression
that he was obviously displeased. Raising questions about his feelings again, he deliberately went
crazy. The second reason was simple and realistic. There was indeed a gap between him and her.
They were not in the same family.
"They are all boring people. Just ignore them." He felt relieved.
"I don't care about other people. But what about your parents? Anyway, I hope that they will be happy
for our wedding." She leaned her head on his shoulder. "So, I'll try to be your capable assistant, to
become someone who can work with you, so that they can accept me."
"You little fool." He shook his head with a smile and hugged her. "Well, I can give you one year at most.
Don't make me wait too long."
"Yes." She nodded with a smile. After a moment of silence, she turned over and looked up at the night
sky. "The day after tomorrow is mother's day. I want to
bring my mother here for a few days. "
"Great! I finally get the chance to meet my mother-in-law!" He laughed at himself.
"Why are you ugly?" She chuckled and elbowed him.
"Then why don't you allow me to see your mother?" He raised his eyebrows. It seemed that he was still
mad at not letting him go home with her last time.
"Well, I will give you a chance to prove yourself." She touched his beautiful nose.
"Of course." He smiled.
The next day, Lucas drove with Sophia to A city and picked up her mother. Mandy Ye.
Mandy was fully satisfied with Lucas, and she did like him no matter what he did.
After they returned to Q City, as required by Sophia, Lucas arranged for her mother to live in the
luxurious S Garden of flourishing garden, because Sophia did not want her mother to know that she
lived in his Bluewater Villa.
In the afternoon, Sophia accompanied her mother to the Golden Sun Square to pick out a gift for her
mother's day.
When they walked in the Cartie, the shop assistant introduced a limited three color gold bracelet inlaid
with diamond.
Mandy was surprised to see the price, but she still reached out her hand to let shop assistant help her.
Anyway, a trial doesn't cost money. In this place, if she didn't pretend, it would humiliate her daughter.
She had experienced this before. She was a nanny, and took care of a child for a rich lady. Once when
she accompanied them to shopping in the mall, she unintentionally said, "this is so expensive that I
can't afford it even with several years of wages." Shop assistant despised her. The rich lady felt
ashamed and specially told her not to talk nonsense in future.
"Madam, look at this bracelet. It looks so noble and fit you very well." Colonel Colonel Ouyang said with
a smile.
"Yes, it's beautiful, but it's too large and not delicate." Mandy smiled and winked at her daughter,
indicating her price. Of course, she also thought the price of two hundred and fifty thousand was too
expensive! To be honest, her budget was only several thousands. She winked at her mother and was
about to ask her to try other styles.
A sharp voice came from behind, "I'll take this bracelet."
As soon as Sophia turned her head, she saw a middle-aged lady, sparkling and well-dressed. Mandy
turned around as well. She stared at the lady and the lady also looked at her, "it's you!" Both of them
said with one voice.
"Mom, do you know each other?" She was shocked.
"I don't know her." Mandy waved her hand with a disgusted look on her face. Realizing that the woman
wasn't her mother's friend, she decided to ignore her too.
"Mom, let's see something else." She pulled down her mother's sleeve.
Mandy snorted, "I want this one."
The lady smiled and asked, "have you paid?"
"I am about to pay." Mandy glared at her.
"So you haven't paid yet." The noble woman laughed in a shrill voice. She took out her credit card from
her bag and handed it to shop assistant. "Please help me wrap it up. I'm busy."
Shop assistant felt embarrassed. She turned to look at Mandy, "Madam, are you sure you want it?"
"Yes!" Mandy nodded.
The lady sneered. "Do you have money to pay? This is not a place for you to show off. " She went to
the sign, and stretched out her shining nails to count one zero and one zero. After counting, she
covered her mouth and giggled, "six figures. Open your eyes and make a clear number, and don't miss
a few zero."
"So what? I know you well. You love to collect other people's belongings, but even if I throw up the
money this time, I won't give it to you!" Mandy was a tough woman. She wouldn't have been so easy to
mess with. Sophia took a deep breath. Her mother was a tolerant person. It was her first time to see
her mother being mad with others. It seemed that Sandra Peng was not only not a friend of her mother,
but also a rival!
Hearing that, Sandra's face turned blue. She said, "Mandy, you are really good at comforting yourself.
You have always been defeated by me, and you have always been."
"Yes. In this world, if anyone dares to take food from other people's mouths and eat it as the most
delicious food, no one will ever eat it except you!" Mandy snorted from her nose. Hearing that, several
clerks at the special storefront were stomachache. They were all staring at Sandra with extremely
strange expressions.
