Chapter 854


    May and Charles ran upstairs anxiously.


    There was no elevator in this old building. Their footsteps sounded urgent, and Charles''s new girlfriend

    followed them curiously.


    Before they reached Henry''s rented house, an olddy stopped them at a corner.


    "You, you''re the girlfriend of that handsome foreign man, aren''t you? I haven''t seen you for a long


    time."


    She was an old woman, so May had to greet her patiently, nodded awkwardly, and said, "I''m busy


    recently."


    "It''s normal for couples to quarrel. I used to fight with my husband. I smashed the back of his head and


    made him stay in the hospital..." The old woman spoke very slowly.


    May interrupted, "I, I''ll talk to youter. I have something urgent to do. I should go now..."


    The olddy looked at May and Charles, who hadpletely run out of patience, and raised her head


    to advise, "Last time that foreigner, your boyfriend, was hospitalized with acute gastric hemorrhage,


    and he looked quite pitiful. Such a handsome young man did no big mistake. Just forgive him..."


    The old people easily softened, especially facing such a handsome foreign man.


    May had climbed up the stairs, but she could still hear what the olddy said.


    Her face suddenly turned pale. She really didn''t know what had happened to Henry. She thought that it


    would be better if she left him.


    She walked even more frantically and knocked on the door hurriedly. "Henry!" She had never been so


    eager to want to see him.


    The door was quickly opened, almost the second after she shouted.


    When she saw the man in front of her, her panic and worry all disappeared. But she became a little


    flustered.


    "Henry, are you, are you okay?" Her voice also calmed down.


    Henry tidied up himself. He was not as unkempt as before, wearing a formal shirt and trousers,


    showing his straight and amazing figure in front of the small broken door.


    He looked at her and said emotionlessly, "May, you told me to wait here on the phone just now. And


    then I wait here for you."


    His English was still not very fluent, but his words were clear, word by word, very sincere, like a primary


    school student who handed in homework, not daring to make any mistakes.


    (You told me to wait here on the phone just now. And then I wait here for you.") Those words echoed in


    May''s mind.


    May sniffled. She didn''t know why she used to think he looked stupid. Now she knew-- because he


    always looked like he hadn''t grown up.


    Seeing May was on the verge of tears, Henry panicked. "Did I, did I do something wrong again?" He


    subconsciously wanted to step forward and hug her, but then he remembered that they were just


    ordinary friends and withdrew his hands.


    Henry scratched his hair in distress. "I, I didn''t mean to disturb you again and again. I just..."


    He lowered his head, not knowing what to say.


    "I''m sorry." This was probably the only thing he could say.


    May stood on tiptoe and hugged him.


    In this warm embrace, Henry was shocked and felt that it was unreal. He stood stiffly as May sobbed


    softly, her tears wetting his neck, which made his expression more gloomy.


    "May, did I disappoint you?"


    His stiff arms reached out to hug her, but then he shrank them back.


    "I know I''m annoying. I, I just can''t help bothering you again and again... I''m going back to F Country. I


    won''t..." Henry said.


    May''s warm breath whispered in his ear, "Where''s your ring?"


    Henry paused and didn''t understand why she talked about the ring. He lowered his head and saw her


    crying with tearful eyes.


    "Don''t, don''t cry. I''ll..."


    Henry was always like this, looking like a fool at the critical moment.


    May punched him angrily and shouted at him with all her might, "Henry, I''ll ask you onest time. Do


    you want to marry me?"


    "Henry, do you want to marry me?!"


    Henrypletely froze.


    Charles, who was standing at the door and didn''t want to go in to ruin the atmosphere, couldn''t help


    Henry paused for a few seconds and finally came to his senses. He looked at the tearful little woman in


    disbelief. "Wait, wait."


    He let go of her and intended to look for the ring in the house, but he hesitated. "May, you won''t run


    away, will you? You''ll wait for me here?"


    "Don''t go. I''ll go into the house and get it. It''ll be soon! You must wait for me." Henry was anxious, like a


    child.


    The atmosphere that had been so touching and romantic was swept away by herughter.


    To her, Henry was always a big fool who didn''t want to grow up.


    "I''ll wait for you." A happy smile appeared on her face.


    Henry was probably too anxious. The sound of rummaging in the room was amusing. He hadn''t found it


    yet, but he came out to see if May was still there. And then he went in and continued to search.


    "I, I found it."


    He ran out, his handsome face blushing shyly. "I put it under the pillow. I forgot."


    May had wiped away the tears and put on a helpless look. She asked him, "Then tell me, what should


    you do now?"


    "Ah?"


    The happiness came so fast that Henry couldn''t keep up with it.


    "I, I..." His big hand clutched the ring box, and he looked a little flustered.


    Charles, who was outside the door, couldn''t stand it anymore. He reminded Henry in a low voice,


    "Henry, when you propose to a woman, you must kneel down on one knee seriously, present the ring to


    her, and put it on her finger. Otherwise, she will remember your mistake and settle itter. And it''ll be


    your suffering after marriage."


    Henry immediately understood. (Yes, propose, propose!)


    Henry knelt down on one knee with a bang, and they gasped in shock.


    (What a fool.) May had a wry smile, almost amused.


    "May, will...will you marry me?"


    Henry had practiced it many times before, especially paying attention to the English pronunciation of


    this proposal, but he still stammered when it really happened.


    Charles took out his phone and recorded the touching moment of the couple.


    He logged into his WhatsApp and sent a message, "Christina, look, look at their happy moments."


    On the other end of the phone, Christina clicked on the video sent by Charles and was surprised. She


    replied, "How could they... Did he propose sessfully?"


    However, she was happy to see them hugging each other so affectionately.


    Fortunately, May didn''t miss Henry.


    Charles replied in a strange tone, "In fact, it''s only a matter of time that they get together. After all, they


    have gone through so many hardships together."


    "Unlike someone, she got pregnant and then got married in a sh. "


    "Don''t force someone to propose to you. It''s all destined."


    Christina''s face darkened, and she clutched her phone tightly. Her good mood was destroyed by his


    words in an instant.


    Charles had a wicked smile. (Told you don''t be bossy all day.)
