Chapter 458: Chapter 474: You Promised I Still Have You (16)

In his dreams, his thoughts, his yearning, he had replayed the scenario of reuniting and confessing his love to Isabel countless times. Each time, he would become unreasonably nervous.

But now, as he finished uttering those words, his initial nervousness was replaced by calmness.

In the club, groups of people dressed in lavish clothes engaged in light conversation. In the distant bar, a bartender was making cocktails flamboyantly, creating an atmosphere of splendor akin to fireworks. Outside the window, the Forbidden City glowed brightly under the lamp light.

But at that moment, Percy felt as if everything else had vanished and all that remained in front of his eyes was Isabel Smith.

His heartbeat became steady and calm, emitting a feeling that he could not quite discern whether it was joy or something else. This made him overwhelmingly moved and excitedly wanting to cry.

He took a brief glance down and saw her hand, slender and soft, and stunningly delicate. Yet, the pads of her fingers were covered with thin callouses from typing on the computer for so long.

Those hands once held his neck. At that time, they were delicate and tender like the freshly bloomed flowers in the morning, untouched by worldly hardships, having been wrapped and cared for by someone.

An indescribable heartache surged from the bottom of Percy’s heart. But they were just a pair of hands, why should they cause him such distress?

After all, on the streets of Capital City, many women who were a hundred times worse off than Isabel, had rough and calloused hands from trying to supporting their families and surviving. Their hands, even coarser and more chapped from the sun and wind.

But none could stir the deepest feelings in his heart.

There were countless women in the world who were prettier, more sensible or more charming than Isabel, but out of all the women, only she could touch him.

Percy could not help but tightly grip Isabel’s hand, with the thought that in this lifetime, he would never let go.

He lifted his face, reflecting the lamp light from the Forbidden City outside the window, so bright and beautiful that it took one’s breath away. He reached a hand up to lightly stroke her cheek, with a touch that was tender and protective. His voice, soft as a whisper, filled with warmth and love, "Isabel, come to me to lead the blissful life a woman should have."

It was the second time he said these words to Isabel.

Isabel, forget about all the unhappiness, let go of all the burdens, come to me, and live the simple and happy life that a woman should have.

Isabel, come to me to lead the blissful life a woman should have.

In her lifetime, Isabel had heard numerous sweet words, more moving, emotional and gorgeous, but none directly touched her heart, making her feel warm and moved.

At first, Isabel was overwhelmed by these words. It was only later that she began to digest what Percy had said.

When she received his text message, she wondered why he was looking for her. Was it to apologize, or express regret for the loss of their child?

But for all she could think of, she never imagined what he was about to propose would shock her so profoundly.

To what extent she was shocked... she simply didn’t know how to describe her feelings after hearing those words from Percy.

Isabel never forgot that man, whom she had once pursued in Starhaven University. Over the years, she had imagined over and over again their reunion.

Yes, just imagined. She had regarded meeting him as the most unreachable dream in her world. Even, when she unexpectedly felt pregnant, when she and Percy signed the paper contract, she had already realized that the beautiful first love she once had was ruined by her messy life.
