novelxo Chapter 1565
Julien's words triumphed over a common declaration of love. Hearing this, Vanessa was rather moved and said, "Julien, I..."
Julien interrupted her, "Vanessa, don't speak. Listen to me first."
There were some things that Julien had wanted to say to her a long time ago, but he always felt that when two people loved each other, they could understand each other through gestures and actions. He thought that he would not need to speak directly to her about how he felt and she would be able to understand. However, that was not the case. Some things needed verbal confirmation, especially for someone like Vanessa, who lacked a sense of security.
"What else do you wish to tell me?" Perhaps it was because Julien was looking at her with a burning gaze, Vanessa's heart was slowly heating up, and even her breathing became hurried.
"Vanessa..." Julien called out her name and stopped speaking. He looked at her, knowing that she was looking at him as well, with eyes full of hope for him to speak quickly. Only then did he say slowly, "Vanessa, I wish to marry you. I want to hold your hand for the rest of my life. Will you marry me?"
After that, he waited quietly for Vanessa's answer, but he was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
The "proposal ceremony" that she had been waiting for for a long time suddenly came. Vanessa felt as if she was on cloud nine. She could not believe that Julien was really proposing to her. "Julien, could you pinch me? Pinch me hard, I'll see if it will hurt."
Julien had thought of all the ways Vanessa would react after hearing his proposal, but this was not what he expected. She looked as if she did not believe that Julien would really propose to her. She looked silly at that moment, but also adorable. Even Julien, who was so nervous, couldn't help but laugh and pinch her hard. "Does it hurt?"
"It hurts! It really hurts! This is real. I'm not dreaming! I thought I'd never have the chance to hear you proposing to me on your own accord, but it has really happened." The more Vanessa spoke, the more worked-up she became. She was so excited that her eyes turned red and tears trickled from the corners of her eyes.
Some said that her insistence on waiting for the marriage proposal was hypocritical because no one had thought about it from her point of view. Vanessa had her own considerations, she had her worries that others would not understand, but it didn't matter. Anyway, her persistence was not in vain. She had waited for it and Julien had indeed proposed to her!
"Then are you willing to marry me, and be my wife?" While Julien was wiping away her tears, she responded loudly, "Yes! I'd say yes to you a hundred times, a thousand times, even a million times... I'll marry you even in my next life. For eternity!"
"Alright." Julien looked at Vanessa. He was in a trance as if he saw a galaxy in her eyes. A galaxy that he would never be able to extricate himself from after falling into it. He was even willing to sink into it and never resurface again.
In this life, and in the next, they would definitely be together!
After Vanessa had agreed to Julien's proposal, he instantly reverted back to his usual efficient manner. The next day, as soon as the marriage registration office was open, Julien took Vanessa to get their marriage certificate.
After getting the certificate, Vanessa nestled in Julien's arms and said, "Julien, I am now 23 years old and still have many years to live. You must treat me well for a lifetime, or I won't let you off the hook!" "Silly girl!" Julien carefully put away the marriage certificate that symbolized their love. He then tenderly rubbed Vanessa's head. She was the treasure he had been waiting for for a long time. After going through so many hardships, he finally married her. How could he bear to treat her poorly?
After getting legally hitched, Julien wanted to give Vanessa a beautiful wedding ceremony. Previously, he had asked for her opinions and she said that she would just invite several relatives and friends to have a simple meal. However, Julien did not want it to be so simple!
Julien thought that he at least needed to hold a ceremony to let everyone know that he was married. He also wanted those women who had inappropriate feelings towards him to give up on him. That should deter trouble for his and Vanessa's marriage and future life.
Vanessa pouted and said jokingly, "Well, I had a baby before marriage but still could make the president of Rovio marry me! Do you think I'm smart or foolish? If I'm silly, no woman in the world should be less foolish than I am!"
"Don't make fun of yourself like that." Julien didn't like what Vanessa always said about herself. After warning her, he said, "We are now legally married. Later, I'll arrange for Lawrie to be officially registered as part of my family, so that we can become a real family."
Vanessa smiled and said, "You're in charge. I'll do whatever you say in the future and won't cause you any trouble."
Julien was about to say something when his cell phone rang all of a sudden in his pocket. He took it out and found that it was his mother. He answered the phone but before he could speak, Karen said in a hurry, "Julien, something happened in the Chatterton Town Military Region. Your father and I are heading there. You should go over and take a look."
Julien immediately asked, "Mom, what's the matter?"
Karen said, "Aunt Mia was sobbing terribly when she called. She didn't explain things clearly and I don't know the specific situation.
I think it could be something to do with Levi."
"Okay, I'll go there right away. Vanessa, get in the car. We'll go to the Chatterton Town Military immediately." Although Julien was always displeased by Levi whenever they met, Julien was always more worried than anyone else in the family when something happened to him.
In Julien's memory, there was nothing in the world that could make Mia cry so badly!
What exactly happened that had caused Mia to weep so hard that she couldn't even say a word?
Could it bethat Levi was...
Julien did not dare think further on the topic as he turned and got into the car.
Vanessa hurriedly followed Julien into the car and sat in the passenger seat. "Julien, what happened to Levi?"
Julien started the car, stepped on the gas, and the car shot away. "We still don't know what's going on."
Vanessa then stretched out her hand and patted Julien's, which was on the steering wheel. Perhaps, at such a moment, a silent gesture of comfort worked better than words of reassurance...
At this time, Karen Joy's phone call came again, "Julien, my Little Precious, have you received the call?"
Julien replied, "Yes, Vanessa and I are rushing to the Chatterton Town Military Region."
Karen Joy continued to say, "Okay, but don't be too anxious. First, pay attention to Vanessa's safety and yours. There's only one Little Precious in our family."
Julien's mobile phone was connected to the car speakers via Bluetooth. Therefore, Vanessa obviously heard Karen Joy's words.
Little Precious?!
Julien had such a childish nickname. If it was not for the critical situation at hand, Vanessa would have already made fun of him for that!
