Noelle's POV
There he was shamelessly sitting in my couch with his parents asking for my hand in marriage. Like I would accept this proposal.(I rolled my eyes)
"Noelle, what do you think about this?" My mom asked me.
"I don't know how to think of this cause you all know we were once a thing and not one anymore." I replied still not sure of why he came back.
"I pretty much agree with this marriage. I can see his sincerity and his interest in you. He got a well going life with good career. I don't see why you wouldn't want him." My dad said supporting this guy who once was my only reason to continue living.
"Thank you uncle for all those words but I'm sure you didn't change her mind. If you agree, May i talk to her? Alone?" He said.
"Think you can change my mind." I said.

Noelle's POV
"So, How are you, Noelle?" Derek said.
"Doing great and well." I said.
"Firstly, I'm sorry about not bidding you a proper good bye when I left." Derek said.
"And?" I said.
"I wanted to fulfill my dreams of becoming a general officer which I'm now. I wanted to have a suitable financial conditions so that I could take care of you without worrying about anything." Derek said.
"You could have at least said something before leaving, couldn't you?" I said ,"And do you think you can take care of me now, Derek?"
"Guess so. Look I'm really sorry okay!" Derek said.
"But some apologies aren't accepted. It wasn't easy for me to focus on myself and everything going on. And you think a mere sorry can fix that?" I said.
