Chapter 1717 "Since you're in Athana, you should have called me. Tell me where you are. I'll meet you later." Grace told Andrew where she was. Andrew sounded in a good mood, much better than she had expected. She felt relieved. It was the middle of summer and the streets were shaded by thick trees on both sides. Rays of sunlight spilled down through the gaps in the trees. A light breeze was blowing and the leaves were rustling on the branches as if they were floating in the air. Just as Grace turned around, her cell phone rang.
She thought it was Andrew, but when she took it out, she found it was Charlie. "Have you had lunch?" Charlie's voice rang out on the other end of the line, soft and low. "No, I haven't. I just finished work. I'm on my way. Have you and Eaton had lunch yet?" Grace asked. "No. Shall we have lunch together?" Grace rubbed her brow and curled her red lips. "Together? Are you kidding? I'm in Athana, and you're home. Tell me how we can have lunch together?" "Of course, I have my way. Tell me, do you miss me in Athana?" "I refuse to answer the question. You need to answer my question first.
How are you going to have lunch together with me?" Immediately, Charlie got upset. How could she avoid his question? "No. You have to think about me. Say you miss me. We'll talk about other things later. Grace blinked and muttered, "I miss you." Then she asked again, "Tell me how you're going to have lunch with me." "Will you marry me?" Charlie asked another question. "You are doing it again..." Grace snorted. Charlie insisted, "If I propose to you right now, will you say yes?" "On the phone?" "What if I stand in front of you? Will you say yes?" Grace thought that was impossible.
"You'll know when you stand in front of me..." "Then if I show up in front of you and propose to you, you will say yes. We have made a deal. You can't back out. All right! Stop where you are now, turn to the right, and look with your own eyes..." At his words, Grace was slightly startled,' Did he really come here?' As per his instructions, Grace turned to the right. Charlie was wearing a pair of light gray suit pants and purple short sleeves. And he had Eaton in his arms. 'Charlie had really come over?' Grace was shocked.
Before she could take a step forward, Charlie was already striding towards her. When he reached her, he didn't say a word but reached out and held her tightly in his arms. He seemed to clutch her all the way into his body! Grace was afraid that she would hurt Eaton, and she pushed against his chest," Be careful! Don't hurt Eaton." "Now I'm here. What do you say?" Charlie stared intently at her, his eyes burning as if they were going to look through her. The next second, he suddenly dropped to one knee and held up the diamond ring in his hand. The diamond glittered brightly in the sunlight.

Choose Premium if you read many locked books and want one subscription for the whole site during your billing period.
You can use both.
