Chapter 661 I Won’t Ask More

“Would a regular guy be scared of the cold?‘ Evan asked, smiling at her.

Caroline’s smile faded. “You’re really not the romantic type, are you? You didn’t come up with this plan

today, did you?”

Before Evan could confess, Alex chimed in. “You underestimate Evan, Caroline. He spent a long time

searching the Internet for this.”

Evan couldn’t help but think to himself that he wasn’t that free to search the Internet for such matters.

After a short pause, Caroline said, “You’re right. You once gave me a garden full of roses.”

Evan was rendered speechless, wondering how Caroline had connected the two incidents. But her

misunderstanding didn’t bother him, as he could see the joy in her eyes.

Rubbing her eyes, Paige looked up and asked, “Alex, why did you guys put in so much effort for this?”

Alex stuttered, “W–Well, we had our reasons.” He turned beet red and glanced at Evan for support.

Evan, however, awkwardly looked away and didn’t respond.

Paige narrowed her eyes and scrutinized Alex. “Is there more to this surprise?”

“No!” Alex quickly denied. “This is it!”

“Okay,” Paige said, disappointed. She then turned to Caroline. “There are seats over there, Carol, Let’s go

sit and watch the fireworks.”

Caroline smiled and nodded. “Sure.”

They made their way to the chairs.

Alex quickly approached Evan. “You should speak up first, Evan. Tell Caroline you want to get back.

together!”

Evan protested, “You didn’t say anything either. Why should I go first?”

“Well, I’m nervous,” Alex confessed, rubbing his hands on his pants. “I can’t even take out the ring right

now!”

Evan snorted. “What’s that got to do with me?”

“I want you to give me some courage,” Alex admitted. “When are you going to tell her? Are you nervous, too?

Evan sternly replied, “Can’t you be quiet?”

“I have butterflies in my stomach!” Alex clung to Evan’s arm. “Why don’t you tell Paige for me?”

Evan retorted, “Why don’t I marry her for you?

Alex asked, “Don’t tell me you like Paige?”

Evan looked at Alex disdainfully and walked over to sit beside Caroline, gazing up at the fireworks.

Not only Paige but Caroline also sensed that Evan had something to say. She grew curious as he remained silent..

“You…” Caroline hesitated. “You don’t have anything to say to me, do you?”

Evan gently clenched his fists in his pockets in response. He looked at Caroline and asked, “What do you think I want to say to you?”

Caroline blushed. “I’m not a mind–reader. How would I know what you want to say? You’ve put in so much

effort.”

It seemed unlikely that this grand gesture was just for a fireworks show.

“Caroline,” Evan began with a deep gaze. “I’ve already told you that I don’t want to burden you by

repeating myself. You know my thoughts better than anyone, but I don’t want to make you feel conflicted

or uncomfortable by putting them into words.

“I need you to think about whether you want to be with me. So, I won’t ask again until you’ve thought this

through.”

Silence hung between them as the fireworks above slowly faded, leaving them in quiet contemplation.

Evan continued when he received no response. “You understand my feelings better than anyone else, I

don’t want to rush you, but I won’t ask again until you’re ready.”
