Chapter 12 On our way to the train station, I picked a photo of my family and posted it on my Instagram. As soon as I posted it, Alexander’s call came. “Your parents come?” “Yes. ” “Then why didn’t you tell me?” “Why should I tell you?” “If you had told me, I could have shown around the city. ” ‘Didn’t you say you were not good at dealing with the elders and were not ready to see my parents?” He turns silent on the other end of the photo. Tonight, let’s meet and have a talk. Avoiding can’t solve the problem between us. ” After saying that, I hang up the photo without waiting for his reply. I’ve been in a relationship with Alexander for seven years but we never met each other’s parents. When we were younger, we didn’t think much about where our relationship would be going. After I turned 25, I started to think about marriage. On one New Year’s Eve, I invited Alexander tentatively to go to see my parents. He didn’t want to and said it was too sudden for him to visit my parents. Last year’s holiday, my parents came to see me and I asked Alexander to be with us but he turned me down again, saying he was not good at dealing with the elders and was not ready to see my parents. He also complained to me about my putting pressure on him. Ever since then, I never mentioned my parents in front of him once. Arriving at the train station, there is still a while before the strain leaves so I am sitting next to my parents, chatting to kill time. When the train is about to depart, I walk them to the train. ‘Charlotte!” A familiar voice came from behind. I turn around and see Alexander holding a lot of gift boxes in his hand. Theodore and Mrs. Theodore, I am Charlotte’s boyfriend. I am sorry I didn’t come to visit you these days,” Alexander smiled without looking at me and continued, “These are gifts for you. I hope you will like them. ” My parents look at him in surprise and then at me, not sure if what he said is true. “Dad, Mom, time to board. I will explain this to you later,” I urge them to leave. My parents boarded with a confused expression. Turning around, I change color and question him, “Alexander, what are you doing here?” “I am your boyfriend. Since your parents had come, I should have visited them. ” “Now you want to visit them. This is not what you had said to me before. ” “Charlotte, I was not mature before and I admit my mistake. I apologize to you. ” “What you did is very rude,” I look at him calmly, “Let’s go Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates… I have something to say. ” Chapter 12 Arriving home, I sit and then come straight to the point, “I used to deceive myself that you love me and turn a blind eye to the issue between us. Our relationship has already gone sour in fact. I have been thinking carefully these days and now I’d like to announce my decision, that is, let’s…” “Charlotte, will you marry me?” Alexander suddenly interrupt me and take out a delicate box from his pocket. He opened the box. There was a shining diamond ring. I freeze for a while. He continues, “The reason why I didn’t come back home is that I was thinking about proposing to you. This is carefully selected by myself and I am sure this is your favorite style. ” The diamond on the ring is cut in a heart shape, which is indeed my favorite style. I recall when I was flipping through a magazine, I showed a design of a diamond ring to him and asked him how it looked. In fact, I was just trying to know his attitude toward marriage. He then only took a glance and pushed the magazine away from him, saying, “So ugly. ” I couldn’t be more disappointed at that time. Because I really wanted to marry him and our marriage had appeared in my dream endless times. Today, he is proposing to me but I am not excited about it at all. My expectations for him expire.
