Farrah is surprised by the sudden declaration.She is struck dumb with astonishment. Looking at the man who stands in front of her, tall, handsome and gentle, she can"t imagine that Bob, the man she loves for so long, would express his love to her on such a grand occasion.
You know...
The elders of the Simons and the Woods, including all the upper-cla.s.s people in Abbe City, are on the spot.
He confesses to her so in public...
Later, he can"t deny this if he becomes regretful.
Does he take it seriously?
Would he really like to be with her?
Farrah certainly isn"t unwilling to be with him or what, she"s just too surprised.
She always thinks that between her and Bob, she plays the role who loves the other deeply, and Bob, even if he has a little affection for her, hasn"t yet reached that point.
However, at this moment, Bob"s declaration really shocks and amazes her.
In the former part when Eric introduced his granddaughter to all the guests personally, the atmosphere in the hall has already been very lively.
At this time, Bob"s words push the atmosphere of the dinner to its highest point.
All along, the most popular thing people are willing to see is the good news in pairs.
It"s a pleasure to witness two people coming together.
What"s more, one is the granddaughter newly recognized by Eric, and the other is the Woods family"s grandson. Their ident.i.ties are both so impressive and remarkable.
If they can be together, it is the most noteworthy love in Abbe City.
"Promise him!"
"Promise him!"
"..."
People beside clap and cheer desperately.
Farrah looks at Bob in such a stunning way that she neither nods nor shakes her head.
Though surrounded by applause and shouts of joy, she can hear nothing.
Her brain completely stops working, and her mind goes blank.
Bob holds the rose in his hands and looks at Farrah very carefully. He asks again, "Farrah, would you like to be with me?"
Eric can"t see her stunned there for such a while without responding.
Doesn"t she like Bob, this silly girl?
Bob now confesses to her. Why doesn"t she reply to him?
Eric pulls Farrah"s arm in secret and whispers, "Farrah, what are you thinking!"
Farrah, who has been dumbstruck and can"t find the right direction, finally comes to her senses.
She always thought she would be the one to express her feelings first, but she didn"t antic.i.p.ate it.
Bob did it before her.
Farrah can"t restrain her inner excitement and joy. Her eyes are even slightly tearful.
She takes a deep breath, takes the rose Bob hands over, chokes in her voice, but nods with great certainty, "I do!"
Hearing Farrah"s answer, Bob lifts a gentle smile on his face and hugs her in his arms sweetly.
Eric stands beside them. His wrinkled face is covered with happy smiles.
There comes a long sigh of relief from all the people in the hall, followed by more enthusiastic applause.
"Kiss her!"
"Kiss her!"
"..."
Bob bows his head and kisses Farrah gently on her lips.
Though it"s a little and soft kiss, Farrah still blushes and heartbeats hard, feeling like her soul is going to fly away. If Bob hasn"t supported her, she wouldn"t be able to stand here.
At this time, Katrina, standing in the crowd, witnesses the scene with a face of both crying and laughing.
She laughs because she is so happy.
Seeing that not only Farrah has her own family and everyone has recognized her ident.i.ty, but more importantly, she has also harvested her love and has been with the man she has loved for a long time.
What a beautiful thing it is!
She cries because she knows how difficult Farrah"s journey is through her life.
She knows how dark and difficult Farrah"s past is behind the s.h.i.+ne of the present.
Fortunately, after a long and terrible painful journey, now she finally reaches the rainbow, doesn"t she?
Farrah, now under her grandfather"s love, besides such a good boyfriend, will surely lead a happy life in the future.
She believes it will!
Pregnant women cannot be stimulated too often.
Aaron, on the other side, has to wipe her tears helplessly when Katrina keeps crying and laughing.
After introducing his granddaughter solemnly to everyone, and witnessing the good news of Farrah and Bob, Eric is now physically exhausted and says goodbye to the guests and goes back to his room for a rest.
And the whole banquet is left for these young people.
People laugh, and people talk in the crowd with red wine. Some old friends stand together to talk about the past, which is greatly lively and harmonious.
Katrina has never been good at dealing with such social feasts in the upper cla.s.ses.
If it hasn"t been the banquet that Eric specially prepares for Farrah, she wouldn"t be willing to attend.
After witnessing Farrah"s double happiness, Katrina, accompanied by Aaron, returns to her seat.
By chance, Aaron"s phone rings.
There is a bit of noise at the banquet. It"s not convenient to listen here.
Aaron pats Katrina on the shoulder and whispers in her ear, "Sit here, don"t walk away, I"ll go out and answer the phone and come back soon!"
Katrina nods to him with a smile: "Okay!"
After Aaron walks out to answer the phone, she is alone in her seat.
She"s pregnant now. She can"t drink like other people. She can only eat dessert to kill some boring time.
At this time, Farrah"s whereabouts remain the focus of attention.
Many people take the initiative to go forward and congratulate her. They also hand out their business cards in an attempt to make a good relations.h.i.+p with her.
Of course, everyone naturally wants to have a relations.h.i.+p with the Simons, such a large family.
The other members of the Simons look so shrewd and cunning, so only the little girl seems friendly.
She"s Eric"s granddaughter and receives all the love of the Simons.
It may mean that they can get on well with the whole family if they can establish a good relations.h.i.+p with her.
Farrah enjoys the feeling when surrounded by crowds.
Previously, when she was only a nurse, everyone did not take her seriously. It was already a common thing for her to be ordered about by others every day.
Even the family members of the patients often spoke ill of her or did something about her.
She was like a salamander ant living at the bottom of society, struggling on the poverty line for food and clothing every day.
But now...
The rich people who made her look up to are trying to please her, compliment her and flatter her.
And not to mention those who used to despise and bully her because they are not even rich!
They don"t even deserve to serve her now!
She can say a simple word to make them live or die.
How can Farrah not like the feeling she feels now, under such a strong contrast?
