'Edward, stand up first,' said Andy, bending over to pull him, 'it's not decent.'
'Let me say it first.' Edward tried his best to pull her away, , so she had to give up.
'Say it.' She let go of his hand helplessly and stood awkwardly.
Fortunately, there were no people in the community at the moment, and there were only them at the door of the empty apartment.
But what she didn't know was that the first child was hiding in the staircase and peeping outside.
Edward calmed himself down and took out the ring from the box. He held it in his palm and said.
'I'm born with shallow feelings. I don't know how to flirt with women, and I don't have those tricks. The only thing I love is to protect the weak. I think, even if one day I sacrifice for it, it's an honor.'
'But I met you and everything related to you. I began to have my own selfish motives. I don't want to die. I want to live well to protect you.'
'I won't say anything beautiful, but I promise that after we get married, I won't let you be wronged and bullied, even if that person is my mother.'
'I've moved out of my house and rented a small yard. It's not big, but it's enough for several children and Jane to live in. The ring is not very gorgeous, but it's the best within my ability. Andy, let me give you a home, become children’s father. Are you willing to be the hostess of that house?'
Although Bill was far away from them, he could hear every word clearly.
He even hated himself for learning lip language in order to know the movements of his opponents.
Edward was a man of integrity, and could even be said to be a hero. Such a man desperately expressed his wish to protect her. Was there anything that a woman could resist?
At no time, Bill regretted that he was just a profit oriented businessman. All his schemes were for the interests of the Huo and himself.
Edward was devoted to the people. He really wanted to be a jerk and defeat Edward with the successful business, but he didn't want to do such a despicable thing.
The only thing he could do was to look forward to her ruthless refusal.
Only when she refused, could he appear in public and block for her.
However, he couldn't read Andy’s mind.
Clenching his fists, Bill didn't know what was wrong with him.
All of a sudden, he was so scared and lack of confidence.
What made him more unbelievable was that he knew clearly that he was afraid of losing her.
While his mind was in a mess, Andy didn't give Edward an answer.
Bill stared at her, hoping to know what was going on.
'Andy, are you willing to do that?' Edward asked again.
Andy smiled helplessly.
She was a little grateful to him. Thanks to his words, she realized that she had no feelings for him except gratitude.
However, in Bill’s eyes, the smile was a signal of acceptance!
He couldn't control himself anymore and walked quickly over.
When she opened her mouth and was about to say something, a cold voice came from the left.
'She won't promise you.'
Bill walked up to them, flames of fury burning in his eyes. 'Andy is my fiancee. The Huo and the Jian have decided this matter. Edward, do you think it's appropriate for you to do so?'
Edward's face froze. 'No, I know it clearly. It was just a play you played to drive my mother away.'
Bill was Andy’s enemy. It was impossible for them to be together.
Astonishment flashed across the child's face. He stared at her in disbelief for two seconds, and then turned around, rushed into the staircase and ran upstairs.
'Baby!' Andy hurried to catch up with him.
Edward held the ring and was about to follow her.
Bill grabbed his wrist and stopped him.
'Bob just told you that I didn't accept the engagement. I didn't tell you that the Huo didn't break off the engagement, right? So, Edward, you'd better keep your position and stay away from my woman.'
Edward said bravely, 'you don't marry her and don't let others marry her, you have the final say in everything in the world?'
'Who says I don't want marry -' after a long pause, Bill loosened his grip and said condescendingly, 'the engagement ceremony will be held soon. I will send the invitation to you in person.'
Edward clenched his fists, 'if you marry her just to satisfy your possessiveness, Bill, I look down upon you.'
'Whether it's possessiveness or true love, you will know it on the engagement day. Andy is a living person. If she doesn't want to, do you think I can kidnap her?' He said calmly.
'I know you are good at business, but don't take love as your business. I left because I don't want to embarrass Andy, but that doesn't mean you win.'
'Don't forget that you once made Andy suffer a lot!'
After saying that, Edward left.
Standing at the door of the apartment building, Bill was lost in thought for a long time.
Edward's words echoed in his mind like a ghost.
Yes, he had also hurt Andy like Jack did.
Would she promise him?
