Unscented-Chapter 214 - 156 Let’s Get Engaged

"I made it." Murray raised his eyebrows and glanced at Melissa who was surprised. "I made every paper crane myself. Do you like it?"

Melissa liked it a lot, but...

Melissa frowned and looked at Murray helplessly. "Murray, why are doing this ?"

Murray rubbed her between the eyes and said with a wronged expression, "Didn’t you say you wanted it to be romantic?"

Melissa thought, Romantic ... Fine, I just blurted that out. Did you take it seriously?

Melissa felt a little helpless. "It’s corny."

"Corny?" Murray said with a smile, "It doesn’t matter if you don’t like the paper cranes. I’ve got something else."

"Something else?" Melissa was surprised. What was Murray up to?

Murray stood up. He strode over to Melissa and held her hand. "Come with me."

He brought Melissa to the window and pointed outside. "Look over there."

"Well?" Melissa followed Murray’s instructions and looked out the window. It was dark outside.

"There’s nothing..."

Before Melissa finished speaking, thousands of candles lit up on the beach. It formed the shape of two stars being shot by Cupid’s Arrow.

The candlelight swayed in the wind. It looked very beautiful.

Suddenly, the candle dimmed and lit up again. This time, there were three words. It read "Melissa, marry me!" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Melissa stared blankly at the beach. Murray put his arms around her waist and said, "Isn’t it a little more romantic?"

Melissa recovered from the shock and said, "This is much cornier..."

"Well, wait a moment. And..." Murray reached out and pointed to the sky again.

"Alright, stop." Melissa quickly grabbed his hand.

After that, spectacular fireworks were set off in the night sky, almost lighting up the sea.

At the same time, Murray took out a red heart-shaped ring box from his pocket. He knelt on one knee and looked up at Melissa affectionately. "Melissa, this is for you."

Melissa almost fell for that.

"Alright, get up first." Melissa pursed her lips and pulled Murray up.

Murray was so arrogant, but he racked his brains to do so many romantic things. It was probably that he was indeed sincere.

Melissa was very moved and happy as he doted on her like that.

Melissa thought it was so sweet.

However, she couldn’t accept getting married so early.

She thought for a moment and said seriously, "Murray, I’m satisfied with your proposal. But I don’t want to get married so early."

"Why?" Murray frowned slightly. "Is it not romantic enough?"

Melissa pursed her lips. "It has nothing to do with romance. After all, we have only known each other for just over a month, and we don’t know each other well enough. We need more time to get along."

In Melissa’s view, if they were in love, they needed more time to know each other. When the time came, they would naturally get married.

At present, they just labeled this relationship and Melissa did not want to talk about marriage so soon.

"I see." Murray lowered his head and whispered, "If you don’t want to get married early, I won’t force you, but at least we can get engaged first."

His warm breath blew all over her neck, and Melissa’s face grew hot.

Murray grabbed Melissa’s hand before she could say anything.

Melissa felt something in her hand. She looked down and saw Murray putting a beautiful ring on her finger.

"What are you doing?" Melissa looked at the ring in shock.

The ring shone brightly amid the light, and the sparkling huge diamond almost dazzled Melissa.

"This is a family heirloom. Grandpa asked me to give it to my wife. Now, I will give it to you."

Murray smiled and looked at Melissa gently. He reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Melissa leaned against Murray’s chest, and her heart beat a little faster.

After thinking for a while, she nodded and said, "As you said, let’s get engaged first."

Actually, Enoch and Marc already agreed about Melissa and Murray’s engagement.

However, that was a verbal agreement. Melissa and Murray did not know each other at that time.

Now, Melissa and Murray themselves wanted to get engaged.

Melissa nodded, and Murray became excited. "Melissa, I’m willing to wait until you are ready to marry me."

"Well, take your time." Melissa blushed.

"Don’t make me wait too long." Murray chuckled and lowered his head to kiss her.

The next day was Sunday. Murray took Melissa back to the Gibson’s house to see Marc.

"Mr. Murray, Ms. Eugen." Jose opened the door and greeted Murray and Melissa respectfully.

"Where is my grandfather?" Murray asked.

"Mr. Marc is in the study room." Jose took them to the study and knocked on the door. "Mr. Marc, Mr. Murray and Ms. Eugen are here."

"Come in." Marc’s voice came out from the study.

Murray pushed open the door and entered. He saw Marc drawing there. Murray walked forward and said, "Grandpa."

"Murray, Meli, there you are." Marc put down the pen in his hand.

"Mr. Marc, how’s it going?" Melissa asked with concern, given that Marc looked much better.

"Don’t call me Mr. Marc." Marc smiled and stared at Melissa. "Now you should call me grandpa like Murray, right?"

Well, grandpa...

Melissa looked at Murray beside her. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Grandpa is right."

Marc looked at Melissa with expectation. Then she said, "Grandpa."

"Great!" Marc stroked his beard and asked, "Murray, when will you get married?"

Melissa wondered, Get married...

Well, it seems that the Gibson family is impatient when it comes to marriage.

"Grandpa, we don’t want to get married so early," Melissa said hurriedly.

"What?"

Marc frowned and wanted to say something, but Murray interrupted him, "Grandpa, Melissa and I will get engaged first."​
