Chapter 1564
Wanda said, "For someone like Mr. Kyle, whoever marries him will not have to worry about the material things in life. However, for women, it's not about how rich the man is, but whether they have true feelings for us."
Joel hurriedly answered, "Yes, of course. I can prove that Mr. Kyle only has Vanessa in his heart, not anyone else."
Wanda said, "Joel, I only have one question for you. Are you the one trying to find a wife, or is it Mr. Kyle?"
Joel replied, "Of course, it's Mr. Kyle."
"That's right."
Joel explained, "Mr. Kyle didn't participate in the proposal planning, but he did ask us to prepare it. Once the plan is complete, we will present it to him and then execute it accordingly!"
Wanda glanced at everyone there and said slowly, "The most valuable thing in a marriage is sincerity. A woman needs a sincere heart filled with love for her. As long as the man has that, she will marry that man no matter how hard the journey will be. Many people say that women only care about riches. The truth is, when we fail to find hope, care, and affection from a man, we would then choose to be materialistic."
After hearing Wanda's advice, everybody seemed to understand the key point of the problem. It wasn't that they could not think of a good proposal plan, but that they only wanted to please Mr. Kyle, neglecting the main character in the proposal, which was Vanessa.
Joel said, "Wanda, thank you for your guidance."
Wanda got up, picked up her tools, and began to do the cleaning. "I only overheard your conversation by accident. I couldn't help but give you some input. If I've crossed the line, please don't take it to heart." Joel said to the staff, "Well, you all don't have to work overtime today. You may clock out on time."
Someone asked, "How are you going to explain it to Mr. Kyle?"
Joel said, "I'll tell him what we really think. If he wants me to resign after hearing it, then I will just go."
Joel sounded so heroic that the team felt a gush of respect for him. However, later, when Joel really faced Julien, he said with a completely opposite demeanor. "Mr. Kyle, th-the... umm..." Joel stammered nervously.
Joel intended to make it clear with Julien, but he was too scared when met Julien's callous eyes. He even stuttered when hearing Julien ask, "Have you come to resign from your job?"
Joel replied, "No, I haven't..."
Julien asked, "Is the proposal plan complete?"
At the mention of the marriage proposal, Joel finally recalled why he had gone to meet Julien. "Yes, Mr. Kyle, we have a conclusion."
Julien asked, "What is it?"
Joel straightened his back and explained at one go, "Mr. Kyle, you're the one who wants to propose and get married. You should be the one thinking about the best way to make the woman of your heart accept your proposal. Now that you've handed the task to your subordinates, how is your fiance going to see any sincerity from you? If it goes on like this, Vanessa would surely not accept your proposal."
The more Julien listened, the darker his expression grew. However, he did not make things difficult for Joel after hearing everything. After asking Joel to leave his office, Julien immediately called his mother, Karen, and asked his family to take care of Lawrie that day. He then sent Vanessa a message to ask her to wait for him after work.
Once he was done, Julien packed up and got off work. When he walked out of the office, most of the staff had left, but Vanessa was still there. Seeing Julien, Vanessa walked over to take one of his arms, asking, "Done with work?"
Julien replied, "Yeah."
Vanessa added, "Your mom called me just now and said she would help take care of Lawrie tonight. She told me not to pick him up today."
Julien said, "In that case, let's go somewhere tonight."
Lawrie was always clingy to his mother and refused to leave her side. But now, he had finally stopped pestering her. Vanessa felt relaxed and answered at once, "Okay. Where are you planning to take me?" It had been more than a year since they reunited, but for some reason, they had never held hands with each other while strolling on the streets like other couples. When they were together, it was usually because of a deal, an agreement, or perhaps an accident...
Vanessa's heart still ached whenever she suddenly thought of the way she got along with Julien back in those days. However, she was about to get rid of those bad memories. Now that he had cleared the misunderstanding, she would agree to get engaged to him and lead happy lives together.
Vanessa also came to the conclusion that Julien was just the man he was. Whenever he thought something was right, it was hard to make him change his mind. If she expected a proposal from him, Vanessa might just have to wait till her next life.
Julien asked, "Where do you wish to go?"
Vanessa said, "Anywhere will do." As long as he was with her, she was content.
He then suggested, "Then let's go for a meal first."
"Okay."
Julien took Vanessa to a nice restaurant for a meal.
It served the usual dishes that Vanessa often ate. She did not think there was anything special about this restaurant, but Julien told her something that was very memorable.
He said, "This restaurant has a history of decades. When my parents were set up on a blind date, it was at this restaurant. At that time, it was only the second time they'd met, but they went to get their marriage certificate the following week."
There were many rumors surrounding the love story between the former president of Rovio Corporation Inc. and his wife. Vanessa had heard a lot about them. However, it was the first time that she heard of such details. It turns out that the couple's marriage had been a hasty one!
Although their marriage was arranged in haste, it was much more stable than that of many couples who had been in love for many years. At present, many young couples in the company took the former president's marriage as a good example.
Perhaps it was destiny, that they were fated to be together.
Back then, Kevin and Karen had met the right person in each other over the course of time. No matter how many difficult obstacles life brought them, they could still move forward with each other...
Julien added, "Vanessa, I want to tell you this. I want to hold your hand like my father holds my mother's and live every day with you. When we become grey and old, I won't be afraid, as I have you by my side..."
