Chapter 368: Chapter 382: Proposal Gift (16)

Percy Stanton lowered his eyelids, meeting her gaze, and gently spoke, continuing, "I didn’t mean to hurt you."

Isabel Smith blushed suddenly, lowered her eyes, and nestled in Percy’s arms without speaking. A sweet smile curled the corner of her lips.

The room felt even quieter.

With that smile lingering on her lips, Isabel gradually fell into sleep.

Percy looked at her peacefully sleeping face, with the smile still on her lips. So beautiful, so sweet...

He was somewhat entranced, couldn’t resist lifting his hand, gently touching her cheek, then staring at the moonlight outside the window.

The moonlight was bright, shining straight into the bottom of his heart, lighting up his whole heart, then he saw his heart clearly.

Zhang Ailing was right when she said, when you love someone, you become humble, humble to the point of being in the dust, blossoming.

His heart, once higher than the sky, has already fallen into the dust for Isabel.

So, admit it, Percy, these days, you’ve been so anxious, conflicted, and weak. But in your heart of hearts, you know better than anyone, you simply can’t go without Isabel.

Look at you, just hurting her left you this guilt-ridden.

You shouldn’t allow yourself to become so greedy, you can’t want her present and future, and still think about her past.

Recently, your abnormal behavior has hurt her, even though that abnormality stems from your fear...

Admit defeat, Percy, why be so bothered about her past? In the end, the one who suffers will be none other than you. After all, you still can’t let her go.

There’s no helping it, who made you so crazily fixated on her?

Who made you so willing to aggrieve yourself, but unable to bear aggrieving her?

Percy thought about this, and suddenly started to laugh wryly. How had he fumbled around for so long to understand such a simple answer?

...

People are like that, those involved can’t see clearly, the spectators see things more clearly. But once one sees clearly, all the problems seem to have readily got solved.

That night, Isabel decided to follow the flow with Percy, while Percy let go of Isabel’s past.

Both had made decisions overnight, and the next day when they woke up, they both seemed refreshed. As a result, the days they spent together felt even more naturally beautiful.

Marrying Isabel was Percy’s lifelong wish, but his proposal to Isabel indeed was impulsive. After the flurry over Isabel’s pregnancy, Percy had cooled down and was thinking more clearly. He felt that he might have been a little hasty. After all, Isabel might not have fallen in love with him yet. So, Percy decided to propose to Isabel again when the time was right.

Time flew rapidly, and it was soon December 24th, Christmas Eve.

Three days before Christmas Eve, Raymond Thompson called Isabel to invite her to celebrate the holiday at his house. Isabel agreed without any hesitation.

On Christmas Eve, which happened to be a Friday, Isabel went to the shopping mall after work in the afternoon. She specially selected three gifts, one for Raymond, one for Elijah Smith, and the last one for Percy.

Isabel had Elijah’s Christmas gift directly delivered to the Smith’s by the store staff. She took Raymond and Percy’s gifts and took a taxi back to her apartment.

Before she even reached the ground floor, her phone rang. It was Elijah who had already received her birthday gift. Although very pleased, Elijah sarcastically said that the tie Isabel had picked was hideous.

Isabel retorted even more harshly, and after a few more exchanges over the phone, Elijah was quick to hang up, saying he had plans that night.

Out of curiosity, Isabel asked who it was.

Elijah chuckled and cryptically said it was his landlord.

Only then did Isabel learn that Elijah rented a room near Starhaven University for convenience, and the landlord was a female doctoral student at Starhaven. Elijah called her XiaoXiao, but Isabel didn’t know her full name.
