"No one is more pitiful than I am! Whenever I"m dating my girlfriend, she"s thinking of another guy." Daniel said this in a gentle, but completely complaining tone.
"It certainly isn"t appropriate to mention of another guy in front of Daniel, " thought Janet. She felt a little awkward, but then she held Daniel"s hand on the table, and giggled, "Forget about him! Let"s have our dinner."
He took his hand out of hers and then held it. Thoughtfully, he opened his mouth, and said, "Jane, something is missing on your finger."
She was confused and looked at her hand. "Is he referring to my manicure?"
"I removed my nail polish a few days ago, but I plan to..."
Janet then suddenly stopped speaking. She was too stunned to say another word more when she saw Daniel taking out of his pocket a small black suede box, and from it a ring with a pink rose stone in it.
...
Daniel placed the ring on her finger, and just like that, a pink rose diamond, Janet"s favorite color, appeared on her hand.
"You... I... You... It"s..." Janet looked at the ring and was trying to speak out some words but she couldn"t utter a whole sentence.
"Is Daniel proposing to me? For the second time?"
"Janet, from now on you are mine." Daniel didn"t let go of her hand, and his eyes suddenly turned red when he looked at her.
He lifted her hand and kissed it, and said, "Don"t turn me down again."
It was his mistake that the first marriage proposal had failed. It was not romantic and formal enough.
He hadn"t prepared in advance for this proposal either. He initially had wanted to propose to her on her birthday. But he lacked the patience to wait any longer, because the feelings between them had ripened deeper and deeper over the course of the last few days.
Daniel, who had been always calm and patient, was now eager and restless, and couldn"t wait any longer to have her.
Janet took a deep breath. She stopped looking at the ring, and instead looked at the man sitting opposite to her. He was serious, handsome, and she soon became totally lost, immersed completely in his charm.
She lowered her voice, and deliberately complained to him, "I thought that we"ve agreed to give me three months to consider the whole thing. Have you forgotten already?"
His big hand held her small one. He said, "Jane, I can only agree that we have our wedding three months from now. This is my final concession on the matter."
Janet was surprise
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with s.e.x. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. "As long as I"m alive, I"m still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women...
the importance of protecting yourselves."
"Although Jane is 23 years old now, she"s not old enough to be a mother yet. If she becomes pregnant and she decides that she doesn"t want the baby, the consequence would be unimaginable. Jane should know the importance of protecting herself before some terrible thing happens, " thought Ella.
"Mom, I know..." She spoke in a low voice. "Every time we have s.e.x, Daniel is the one reluctant to wear condoms. Daniel must want to have a baby. And since he wants to have a baby, I want one too. If someday I become pregnant, I will definitely give birth to that baby."
"Well, it"s good that you know the importance of it. When Nicole"s wedding is over, remember to ask Daniel to decide a date for your wedding." Jane was too young to know about many important things in life, one of which was that marriage was the best protection for a relationship.
Janet glanced at the diamond ring on her hand, and with a red face, said, "Mom, you don"t have to worry, he... he"s already proposed to marry me, and I... said yes."
Daniel looked at Jane with eyes sparkling with love.
Ella seemed to be very happy when she heard the news from her daughter, and briskly said, "Well, well, that"s good! Now I can relax from the stress of urging you to get married. I know that Daniel is a man you can rely on. Both of you enjoy your time together!"
She then hung up the phone, and Janet looked at it and didn"t know what to do next. It was strange to see that her mother"s att.i.tude had changed so fast!
Daniel lifted Jane"s chin; her face was still red.
This little girl got shy so easily!
