Chapter 903

Karl caught a glimpse of her and he stood up, pulling the seat for her.

Juanita sat down, "I'm sorry I'm late. Something came up and I need to

deal with it."

“It's okay. In the past it has always been you waiting for me." Karl said

softly. Yes, for the past four long years, he knew that she had been

waiting for him, and he had made her wait too long.

Juanita looked up and smiled awkwardly.

It had been two months again, and she had cut her hair short, and she

looked lively and cute.

Her delicate features and dark pupils were shining with a crystal light.

Karl had a close look at her, and she looked a little like the way she

was in the past.

"Wow, you get so much delicious food. I'll get fat for this dinner."

Juanita smiled, revealing two sweet dimples.

“It's okay. You've got thinner again, and you should eat more."

Karl pushed the plate toward her.

"Yes?" Juanita touched her cheek, "Thinner? Wow, you don't know how

busy the municipal government can be. There are endless things to

deal with every day. It's all just a bunch of chicken and egg stuff. I've

been making so many mistakes lately, and I think I'm going to lose my

job." Juanita complained as she began to eat.

"Oh, the current governor, filling in for your father, is also your father's

student. How dare he to scold you?" Karl made fun of it.

“It's so annoying. I want to quit even if he doesn't want to kick me out. I

really don't want to do this job anymore. I'm not the social type either."

Juanita shook her head and laughed bitterly.

She still missed the old days when she worked in Khebury. She was

happy and carefree, and nobody would be fighting for power at all.

"You can resign.” Karl took a velvet box out of his suit pocket.

He opened it, and inside was a large diamond ring, shining under the

spotlight.

He gently pushed it in front of her, "Let's get married and I'll take care of

you."

Juanita held the fork in her hand and suddenly gave a lurch. Her hand

was a little stiff, a little shaky, and almost unsteady.

“I'm sorry for making you wait for me so long." Karl looked at her, as if

he was apologizing.

Over the years, he must thank her for her silent companionship, her

dedication, and her understanding.

The wedding, in fact, had long been prepared, and the two families had

exchanged gift lists long ago. They even got them a house for their life

after the wedding, which was a secluded mid-mountain villa.

Everything was ready and all that was needed was just a nod from

Juanita.

He knew in his heart that all these years, it was Juanita who found all

kinds of excuses to help him out.

Juanita was pressured by both sides, but she suffered in silence.

Juanita's heart trembled. The man in front of her was much more

mature than the boy in her memory and was much more charming.

She looked up at him and was almost dumbfounded. No matter how

long it had been, every time she saw him, she just couldn't help but feel

her heart banging and thumping.

The fork in her hand, finally, slipped off to the table.

Her hand stayed awkwardly in mid-air. She didn't know whether she

should put it down or take the ring.

She simply loved him and had been waiting for him, waiting for him to

say the words himself.

She had been waiting too long. It had been so long that she felt

increasingly afraid to see him. She was afraid that once she saw him,

she could no longer wait.

Karl could see her embarrassment.

He tenderly reached out and gently took her hand and took out the ring.

Tenderly, he put it on her.

She was a good woman and worthy of his life.

The moment he put the ring on her.

Her tears slipped down her cheeks, silently and quietly.
