To the Love of My Life

Chapter 777: Chapter 777: The Most Romantic Proposal (7)
 

Just as Ruby Gregory was feeling bored, she saw a beautiful scene through the car window.

Ruby’s car window was facing the square in Times Square, with the evening twilight deepening and the square bustling with people. Most eye-catching of all, a man holding a large bouquet of roses was walking towards a woman in a red dress standing in front of the fountain in the center of the square.

The man seemed to have estimated the timing well in advance; as he stepped in front of the woman, the clock struck seven in the evening. The Musical Fountain behind the girl instantly spouted countless slender jets of water, accompanied by loud and pleasant music.

Under the brilliant neon lights, the jets of water refracted a kaleidoscope of colors, creating a beautiful and dreamy scene like a fairy tale.

In full view, the man holding the roses knelt on one knee before the girl in the red dress and offered her the bouquet.

Passersby in the square couldn’t help but gather around the scene.

Steve Burton’s car was some distance away from the square, and the noisy surroundings made it impossible for Ruby to hear what the man said. However, she could see the man’s serious and solemn expression as he knelt, as if reciting a long vow to the woman.

When he finished, the man took a deep breath and called out with all his strength, “So, Eleanor Mia, marry me!”

Ruby heard the man’s final words loud and clear.

As the man’s voice settled, the surrounding onlookers couldn’t help but cheer, “Marry him, marry him!”

The man proposing held his head high, looking at the slender woman in red, his eyes slightly tense.

Even Ruby in the car could not help tightening her heart, fearing the girl would refuse.

After about half a minute, the girl finally reached out and took the bouquet of flowers. The man’s face broke into a wildly ecstatic smile. He fumbled for the ring box he had prepared in advance and took out the ring. Due to overwhelming excitement, he accidentally dropped the ring on the ground and crawled to pick it up, causing the surrounding people to laugh. The girl in the red dress smiled, and in the next second, had a ring carefully and reverently placed on her finger by the kneeling man.

The onlookers’ excitement intensified, and they took photos with their phones, whistling and shouting while clapping their hands.

Amidst the applause, the kneeling man was helped up by the girl, and he reached out his hand to hold her close. Under the blessings of the crowd, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.

The roses in the girl’s hand fell to the ground. She reached out and encircled the man’s neck, passionately and happily responding to the kiss.

Despite the distance, Ruby could clearly see that the ring the girl was wearing was not an enormous diamond, nor even a tiny one. It was just a thin, pure gold band, worth at most more than a hundred dollars.

Yet, despite such a cheap and ordinary proposal ring and scene, it still touched Ruby Gregory’s heart.
