Truth be told, Cindy was just speaking on impulse. Sometimes, emotions really couldnât be controlled.
After she finished speaking, she felt that she had gone overboard.
Just as she was hesitating to take the ring from Charlieâs hand, a big pair of hands had already grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into his arms.
âThatâs what you said!â Charlie spoke into her ear.
Cindy was stupefied. If it wasnât for his strong heartbeat in her ears, she would have thought that it was just a dream.
When she finally came to her senses, she felt a little awkward and pushed Charlie away.
âI-Iâm leaving!â
âWhere are you going?â Charlie grabbed her once again.
âYou were the one who said that you liked me. You were also the one who wanted to be with me. You canât just leave as you wish now that Iâve fallen in love with you. Thatâs irresponsible!â he continued.
Cindy was surprised by his words, âWhat did you just say?â
Charlieâs brows knitted, âWhy are you so stupid? Arenât I being clear enough? Youâve given me this custom-made ring, so you have made me your âOnly Oneâ! Now that I can never find another wife, shouldnât you take responsibility for that?â
âIâve told you I can explain it to the shopkeeper!â
Exasperated, Charlie said, âCindy, you are such a fool. How many times do you want me to repeat myself? Iâm willing to be stuck with you, forever! I donât want you to be with someone else!â
Cindy continued to pretend like she didnât understand him, âBut, this isnât what you previously said!â
âThatâs because I didnât knowâ¦â
Charlie continued, âI was blind. I failed to notice that the woman I truly love was always by my side all this while. I only realized it when I finally lost you. Do you know how sad I was when I saw you with someone else? I donât want to lose you anymore, Cindy.â
Suddenly, everyone around started to cheer and applaud. Only then did Cindy notice that she and Charlie had come under the spotlight in the airport.
She was extremely embarrassed. She struggled and said, âLet go of me!â
Charlie refused to let go, âNo, I wonât! If I do that, youâll run away with someone else!â
As he was saying that, he casted a cold glance at Ivan who was standing beside Cindy.
Ivan started trembling again as he thought to himself, âOut of the three of us here, Iâm obviously the victim!â
He then said, âTh-This is just a misunderstanding. I swear I have nothing to do with Miss Cindy.â
Charlie stared at him, looking more fierce, âWhatâs wrong with Cindy? Why are you so quick to explain yourself?â
Ivan was confused, âItâs really not what you think⦠Actually, weâ¦â
âWhat do you mean by that? Then, can you explain the honeymoon vacation ticket youâre holding? If you dare throw her away now, I swear Iâll kill you!â
Ivan almost cried. âThen what if I donât?â
âIâll kill you too! How dare you go on a honeymoon vacation with her?! Cindy is mine!â
âHave mercy on me!â Ivan was already crying in his heart.
What a pitiful position he was in!
âSir, may I say a few words before you kill me? Itâs really not what you think. Everything that has happened is just a coincidence. I promise you Iâm telling the truth.â
âDo you think Iâm stupid?â
âMiss Cindy! Help me!â Ivan was so nervous that he almost betrayed Amos and spat out the truth that he was there for a task.
Fortunately, Cindy intervened.
âActually, we really met by chance! Heâs telling the truth.â
Only then did Charlie start to believe him. He asked, âReally?â
âWhat else could it be?â Cindy frowned.
âI believe you!â Charlie stepped forward and took Cindy into his arms.
Ivan heaved a sigh of relief and said, âThatâs great! Here, you can have this ticket! It hasnât been registered yet. You can just go over there and get it registered under your name.â
Charlie held the ticket in his hand and looked at Cindy.
The next second, they exchanged a look. They finally realized something.
âMrs. Granger! Sheâs the one behind all this!â
â¦
At the same time, Eudora suddenly had a weird feeling that someone was talking about her behind her back.
âI wonder how the two of them are doing. I suppose Charlie has already caught up with Cindy, right?â
As she was thinking, her phone rang as she received a call from Clint. He said, âMadam, the person that I sent to the airport to help you has returned. He said that the task has been completed and the two of them have already left. President Granger instructed me to report this matter to you, so you wonât be worried!â
Eudora was pleasantly surprised, âReally? Thatâs wonderful!â
It turned out that being a matchmaker had really made her day.
After hanging up the phone, Eudora instantly checked her social media. To her surprise, Cindy had sent her a message before she boarded the plane.
âMrs. Granger, thank you so much!â
Eudora replied with a smiling emoji. She found it easy for her to feel touched as she got older.
When she saw that Cindy had posted a selfie of her and Charlie leaning closely together, she couldnât help but burst into joyful tears.
Naomi, who had just come down from her bedroom, was bemused to see Eudora crying.
âMom, whatâs the matter?â Naomi looked at Eudora restlessly. Amos had always said that her mother was the pillar of the family ever since she was a little baby.
The whole family had always revolved around Eudora. If something happened to her, then the whole family would lose its value.
Therefore, Eudoraâs problems were the most important matters in the family.
How could she not be worried when the most important person in the family was in tears?
âAre you not feeling well? Is your leg painful again? Or is it your wound?â
Eudora shook her head, âNo!â
âThen, did anyone make you upset?â
âNo!â
Naomi was like a cat on hot bricks, âDid you find out that I sneaked out to meet Nelson last night? Iâm really sorry! I promise Iâll never do it againâ¦â
Eudora was still shaking her head. âNo! Itâs about Cindy and Charlie. Theyâre finally getting together!â
Naomi was bewildered.
Next, Eudora showed her the photo on her phone. Only then was she relieved.
âOh, I see! Well then, I must congratulate Auntie Cindy on this!â
âOf course you should! Donât do it now though, since theyâve just gone on a vacation. You can do that when they get back!â
After Eudora finished speaking, she put down her phone.
Suddenly, she seemed to have remembered something. She looked at Naomi suspiciously. Her gaze sent a chill down Naomiâs spine. She asked, âMom, why are you looking at me like that?â
Eudora pursed her lips, âWhat did you say just now?â
Naomiâs heart skipped a beat. Oh no!
She had spilled the beans!
âHuh? I didnât say anything. Wow, the weather today is really nice, isnât it? Why donât we go out for a walk?â
âNaomi!â Eudora looked at her coldly. âAre you trying to lie to your own mother?â
Naomi shook her head, âItâs really nothing!â
Eudora suddenly covered her chest with her hands and moaned, âOuch! My heart hurts! My daughter just lied to me, Iâm such a bad mother!â
Naomi was exasperated as she whined, âMom, youâve really been spoiled by Dad! Fine, itâs true, I did go out to meet Nelson last night!â
Eudoraâs eyes were filled with complete incomprehension, âAlthough the two of you dating bothers me quite a bit, I donât think weâve actually intervened in your business, right? Why are the two of you being so sneaky?â
Naomi was dumbfounded, âMom, stop pretending, okay? Arenât you a part of the plan? Lately, Dad has been keeping an eye on me as if Iâm a thief.â
Eudora was flummoxed, âWhat? Thereâs no such thing!â
