Lucas Walker grasped her hand not rushing to eat, but looked at her seriously.
"If... If I proposed marriage to your parents now, would they... agree?"
He couldn't stand it any longer; he had to claim her entirely, whether it was her person, her heart, or her identity.

Ivana felt that they couldn't be too overbearing.
"Actually... isn't marriage just a piece of paper?" She extended her left hand towards him, "Look, I have already put this ring on my ring finger, isn't there no difference between us and a married couple? How about... we get engaged first, alright?"
