Chapter 41
“Joann, will you marry me?”
Boom!
Joanna’s mind was in a mess as if it was going to explode. She looked at Jaydon in horror.
Immediately, Jaydon took out a diamond ring the size of a dove’s egg from his pocket.
As the music in the restaurant began, couples dressed in matching outfits turned up at the restaurant with huge bouquets of flowers in their hands.
Blueiva Diner was a sanctuary for marriage proposals, and the restaurant would cooperate with customers who wanted to propose to set up the scene.
Of course, the cost was prohibitive for the average person.
“Joann, I give you my official confession today! I love you. Marry me!” With that, Jaydon knelt on one knee and offered the diamond ring to Joanna.
Joanna was not mentally prepared for his proposal. “Jay, get up. Please don’t do this!”
Now that Jaydon suddenly confessed to her on a high profile, she was utterly dumbfounded.
“Joann, we’ve known each other for 3652 days! Today is the 2520th day I loved you, and there are days to go in the future!”
Joanna was so nervous that her face turned pale, and her throat became dry. “Please stop with the jokes, Jay! Get up quickly. There are so many people watching…”
Jaydon remained on one knee and gazed earnestly at Joanna. “Joann, I’m not joking. I’m serious! I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time! In the past, we missed each other, and it became the biggest regret in my life! Now that God has given me this opportunity again, I don’t want to miss it!”
When Joanna heard that, her cheeks flushed red, and she didn’t know what to do.
She exclaimed inwardly, “If I’m still the complete self from the past, I’ll accept him without hesitation! But now that I’m broken, how could I be worthy of him! I can’t hurt him, and I don’t want to be a burden to him!”
“Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!”
The melodious piano sound filled the air, and countless rose petals were falling from above like snowflakes in the sky, spreading all around her.
The atmosphere was warm and romantic.
However, Bruce’s eyes were full of jealousy as he watched the scene in front of him.
He clenched his fists, and they emitted loud cracking sounds.
Even if he had abandoned Joanna, he still couldn’t allow anyone else to covet her.
That feeling was like someone had picked up on the rubbish he had just thrown away and found out that what he had thrown away was a rare gem.
It made him feel regret, frustration, indignance, and irritation.
Roxanne uttered with jealousy, “Wow, Mr. Grimm is so romantic! He indeed prepares his marriage proposal wholeheartedly!” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
After saying that, she looked at Bruce with a forlorn expression.
Unfortunately, Bruce was furious and didn’t pay attention to her emotion.
At that moment, disappointment and jealousy were written all over Roxanne’s beautiful face.
Judging from Bruce’s reaction, she understood his thoughts about Joanna. “Bruce…”
Meanwhile, Joanna was so anxious that she burst into tears. “Jay, get up. Don’t be like this!”
Jaydon fixed his eyes on her, staring at her intensely. “Are you willing to accept it?”
“I… I’m sorry!”
Joanna turned around, grabbed her bag, and fled for the restroom.
As she had severe depression, she couldn’t get emotional, or she would get another attack.
“Joann!”
When Jaydon saw her run away, he was dazed instantly, and his brain went blank.
She still rejected him in the end.
“Hmph!”
Bruce got to his feet as he was unable to stand it any longer.
“Bruce, where are you going?”
He ignored the question and headed straight to the restroom.
Bang!
The restroom door was pushed open.
When Joanna looked back and saw it was Bruce, she got startled even more. “Bruce, what are you doing?”
Bruce had a fiendish expression on his face like the devil. Without saying a word, he grabbed her by the wrist and dragged her out of the restroom.
Joanna suddenl
felt her heart tremble, and she struggled desperately. “Bruce, let me go! What on earth are you trying to do…”
Bruce didn’t answer and just dragged her out in a fury like a husband catching a cheating partner.
Joanna kept struggling and flung herself to the ground, causing her gown to slip and expose herself.
As Bruce couldn’t pull her away, he bent down and carried her up forcefully.
“You’re crazy! Let go of me!”
Bruce held her and forced her out of the restaurant.
Everyone’s eyes were fixated on the duo.
“What’s going on?”
“Mr. Grimm is making a marriage proposal, so why is Mr. Everett out there making a scene?”
Roxanne was so furious that her whole face was deformed when she saw that.
She ran out of the restaurant in tears.
At the parking lot downstairs, Bruce stuffed Joanna into the passenger seat of the car before he got in.
“Bruce, what are you doing? You’ve been drinking, so you can’t drive!”
Vroom!
He had started the car and stepped on the pedal.
The car accelerated to 75 miles per hour instantly.
“Bruce, are you insane? Stop the car. What the hell are you trying to do?”
The car drifted sharply and sped in the direction of the mountain road.
Joanna was thrown against the car door. Panicked, she quickly buckled her seat belt.
“Bruce, you have to stop. It’s dangerous…” she persuaded.
“Ah!”
Suddenly, the steering wheel turned violently.
The wheels drifted, leaving a long tire track on the ground. The car almost crashed into the truck on. the other side.
