Unspoken Love

Chapter 41 Life Is So Short That It's Hard for One to Turn Back

Luna nodded, but she couldn't tell whether it was because of the sincerity in Brodie's eyes or the

atmosphere at that moment.

Then Brodie and her sneaked out.

Brodie took Luna to his river-view house at the downtown of City S.

In the living room, candles were lit, and delicious food awaited them.

Brodie pulled out the chair for Luna. Luna sat down, smoothing her skirt.

Brodie then sat down. He brought Luna's plate over and carefully cut the steak for her before giving it

back to her.

He raised his glass, and Luna hers. Brodie specifically prepared for her some barely alcoholic wine.

They chinked glasses.

Brodie gulped his wine and looked at Luna fondly. He seemed to have so much to say, but didn't know

where to start. He snapped his fingers and said in a low voice, "I know you might not want to get

married or fall in love, but I'm getting in line. I want to be the first in the line so that I will be your first

choice when you're ready."

"I will do everything for you — what I can and what I want to. All I need is that you will have me in the

line, always the first in line."

As Brodie finished his words, a song sounded throughout the room, "I am running towards you. In the

sea of stars, you are the only bright star I can see..."

Outside the house and above the river, luminous drones formed three words.

Brodie loves Luna.

Then, the drones moved. Some formed the shape of a diamond ring and others a hand. Slowly, the ring

flew towards the ring finger of the hand.

Luna was so touched that her eyes went red.

At this moment, Brodie went down on one knee, as if he had practiced for many times, and asked,

"Luna, will you marry me?"

Luna turned around.

Her eyes now brimmed with tears.

Brodie did not force Luna to wear the ring he prepared. He now knew how to best respect a woman. He

tried hard to suppress his nervousness and said what had lingered in his heart for a long time. "Luna, I

know you're not ready. Don't feel pressured. I'm just doing what I want to do for you in advance so that I Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

can be the first in the line. Then, when you want to get married and wear a wedding ring, I and my ring

will be your first choice."

As he spoke, Brodie raised the diamond ring next to Luna's hand. "Put it on when you want to. It's OK if

you don't wear it. I will propose once in a while and buy you better ones. I believe that one day, you will

say yes."

Luna did not refuse. She only said, "OK."

This simple word was good enough to calm Brodie down. He heaved a long sigh of relief and snapped

his fingers again.

Fireworks went off on the riverbank. It was like a magnificent magic show. The horizon became colorful.

It was so dazzling that no one could look away.

Brodie whispered, "I love you, Luna."

Brodie had never bared his heart like this. He was always calm in dealing with all relationships. He

usually expressed his feelings with actions, but rarely with words.

Luna looked at Brodie in astonishment.

She realized that Brodie had completely changed.

Brodie looked into Luna's eyes and said, "I mean it. I love you, Luna."

It suddenly occurred to Luna that life was too short.

Life was short. If she didn't enjoy what she should be enjoying, and clung to the pain of the past

instead, then neither she herself nor the people around her could be truly happy.

She had found Cindy and could be with her. Also, she reunited with her biological mother. Now that

misfortunes in the past had been fixed, why should she still indulge in those painful memories?

She wanted to move on.

Thinking of this, Luna smiled, "Brodie, let's ... start over! This time, you have to be good to

me."
