Chapter 718
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
âDeal. You do it and then Iâll maybe say yes!â
Emmett smiled and threw a glance at Debbie who was some distance away.
Carlos was helping her put on the sneakers. He Looked back at Kasie and said, Carlos is taking care of
Debbie now. You come with me.â
âWhere are we going?â Kasie asked.
Emmett held her hand and led her to a jewelry counter. There were a few dazzling diamond rings inside
the glass case. He raised an eyebrow and told the stunned Kasie, âGo on, pick your favorite.â
Carlos apologizing to Debbie had already become the focus of that nightâs event. But Emmett wouldnât
mind stealing Carlosâ thunder and proposing to Kasie as long as she chose a diamond ring right away.
Kasie felt a warm feeling course throughout her body. She tried to stay calm and pulled Emmett closer
to her, who was seriously looking at the diamond rings.
âI was just kidding, Emmett! I havenât even graduated yet. I donât want to spend my school life with a
baby in my belly.
Donât propose to me now.â
Emmett shook his head helplessly.
âKasie, you fool. We can get engaged now and weâLl get married after you graduate.â
His words touched Kasie. Tears threatened to fall from her reddened eyes. But she pretended to be
angry and chided, âBe honest! Are you rushing your proposal just to save a meal? Our parents havenât
met each other yet. Do you think Iâll be taken in so easily? Humph, no way!â
The truth was that she wanted to marry Emmett as soon as possible too.
But on second thoughts, she didnât want to rush things because they had only been together for a short
period. After all, marriage was a huge event in a personâs life, especially for a woman. She wanted to
thoroughly consider this before making a final decision.
Emmett nodded understandingly.
âYou have a point there. IâLL wait until you graduate. And then, Iâll ask my parents to speak to your
parents about our marriage.â
Through her tear-filled eyes, Kasie saw a beautiful future unfolding in front of her. She said with a fake
pout, âThen itâs settled. If you donât officially propose when I graduate, youâll be a cheating dog. And if I
donât say yes when you do, Iâll be the cheating dog.â
Emmett considered her words for a few seconds. As if waking up from a confusion, he corrected
himself immediately, âYou got me wrong, Kasie!
What I meant was that Iâd propose to you after your junior year, not your senior year! You will not be
taking the postgraduate entrance exam, right? If so, letâs make it earlier. Iâll propose to you at the end of
this semester and ask for your parentsâ blessing.â
âWhat?! So soon? Thereâs only one semester left in that case.â Although she wanted to marry him
soon, she felt a semesterâs time was too short.
âYeah. I need to ask Carlos for leave a few months in advance. I may need at least a month off to
prepare for our engagement and wedding.
Thatâs to say, I wonât be working in July and Iâl start earning for our family from Augustâ¦â Emmett kept
mumbling about their plan with a serious look on his face.
Kasie glowed with happiness as she watched her man carefully plan their future. He was obviously
serious about their marriage.
She had missed out on Lewis, but now, she had Emmett, a much more reliable man. âIâm so lucky that I
found himâ¦â she thought to herself, feeling blessed.
