Chapter 587
You Hit My Heart
Joyce got out of the cab and the restaurant Justin talked about was
right in front of her.
She had heard of this restaurant and read about it in the promotional
pages in food magazines. While it was right in the middle of the city, the
surrounding had been surprisingly quiet. The layout and design of this
restaurant used a pure European style, and the entire restaurant was
surrounded by water features. It was nighttime, and the lights were lit
up everywhere. The curtain-like waterfall surrounded the entire
restaurant, and now illuminated by all the lights around it, it looked like
a neon rainbow under the starry night.
In the middle of the water, the path leading to the restaurant was
flanked by flowers, lilies and roses, red and white.
Every step was just romantic.
As Joyce walked, she felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, and
the restaurant was too grandly decorated. Now it's dinner time, there
should be other people, but there was actually no one in the room.
By the time she entered the restaurant, it was indeed just what she
thought it would be.
Justin booked the entire restaurant and there was no one inside.
In the center of the dining room, there was a long French table covered
with roses arranged in the shape of a "heart". The ceiling of the
restaurant was decorated like a starry sky. The beautiful blue was
dotted with countless twinkling stars. For a moment, she wondered
whether she was in a dream.
Justin, wearing a sky-blue suit, slowly walked out from the corner. That
handsome pure face looked just like a bright moon in the sea of stars
and shone directly into the depths of her heart.
Joyce had a guess already in her heart, as if she knew what he was
going to do. After all, she had been with him for a while and still knew
something about him.
She subconsciously stopped her steps and started backing up.
Justin took a few steps forward and took her wrist to stop her from
stepping backwards.
"Joyce, I prepared this for you tonight, do you like it?" The bright
starlight reflected in his eyes and his sincere attitude made it hard for
her to refuse him.
âIt's beautiful. Thanks." She gently bit her lower lip and replied
awkwardly.
Justin took out a black velvet box and got down on one knee, "Joyce,
this isn't the first time I've asked you to marry me. The last time, I
couldn't walk on my legs, I couldn't get down on one knee, and the ring
was plain. You are worth so much more than that and that time does
hot count.â
"Now, I formally ask you to marry me." He took her hand and opened
the black velvet box in front of her.
Under the illumination of countless spotlights, the blue diamond in the
box suddenly blossomed into a dazzling light.
âThis is a blue diamond. I have searched for a long time and feel that it
is the only one that can best represent my heart. It is clear, pure, and
like my feelings for you, it will never change. Marry me, Joyce, I love
you."
His eyes showed infinite sincerity and earnest expectation.
The rare blue diamond, at the moment, emitted a moving and bright
dazzling light.
Really, it was so beautiful. Even someone like her, who was indifferent
to gems, was surprised by its beauty.
She was gently shaken within her heart. Justin liked her, and she knew
that long ago. All the things they had experienced together began to
flash back in her mind. They had been so innocent when they first met
and they had all those plain days and nights together. Indeed, they had
been through so many pains and struggles, but now, looking back upon
those days, she felt it was more like reading a story of someone else's.
He was so attentive and knew her preferences well.
She sure could understand his obsession.
He didnât even mind that now she was pregnant with someone else's
child.
Only, she couldn't do it. She couldn't accept his love. Not in the past,
not now, and not in the future.
Justin trembled as he took out the blue diamond ring and held Joyce's
hand, wanting to put it on her personally.
