He fell to his knees so unexpectedly, with a ring in his hand.
For Layla Lowell, this gesture absolutely stunned her.
Over the past two years, Charles Carrington had often mentioned marriage, but he had never actually proposed like this.
"You..."
She found herself unable to speak, and took a step back.
Charles Carrington looked at her sincerely, "I know you are unsure about me, but you must believe that I have changed. Please give me a chance."
His tone was unusually sincere, without any detectable flaws.
Layla Lowell was almost on the verge of relenting.
Just then, flashbacks of his past actions flooded her mind.
His unabashed approach towards other women had disgusted her for a long time.
"No...No!" she reaffirmed, "I will not marry you!"
With a bang, she turned and closed the bedroom door behind her, leaning against it as she breathed heavily.
Her heart began to pound furiously, drumming at a rapid pace.
He knocked on the door.
