Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 694

Chapter 694 The Accident

Meanwhile, the fireworks went off as planned, sending a rainbow of sparks into the sky to spell out "Elspeth" rather than the usual patterns.

Caught off guard, Elspeth looked puzzled as the background music suddenly turned incredibly romantic.

In a sharp-looking suit, Slevin walked out, holding a bouquet of flowers.

As he slowly approached her, she instinctively took a few steps back and asked, "Slevin, what are you up to?"

Nonetheless, he smiled and said nothing while waiting for the music to stop. Then, he kneeled on one knee and spoke with a clear, melodious voice, "Elspeth, will you marry me? I have waited for four years and refuse to wait any longer."

Elspeth admitted that she was aware that Slevin might have harbored romantic feelings for her, but she had always kept her distance, and it had never crossed her mind to pursue a relationship with him. However, faced with the current situation and the man's public proposal, she wondered if he was trying to force her into submission.

Furrowing her brow, she suggested, "There are so many people here, so let's talk about this privately."

She didn't want to disrespect him, so she neither publicly rejected him to avoid embarrassing him nor readily accepted him. Nevertheless, she had no feelings for him from the beginning, and if they were destined to be together, they would have been together already, not via a forced marriage proposal.

In the meantime, those around her appeared to have different perspectives, as they believed she was overcome with happiness when they saw her standing as still as a statue.

Some bold individuals even approached and tugged at her clothes, saying, "Young lady, just say yes. This young man is handsome, has a good personality, and is wealthy. He has arranged this grand fireworks feast for you. If you miss this opportunity, you won't find it elsewhere."

Elspeth mustered a forced smile and replied, "Sorry, but you don't need to say more. Our relationship isn't what you think it is."

Soon, several girls behind her, perhaps envious of the grand spectacle, whispered to each other.

"Hmph! I don't know what she's pretending for. She turns down such a wonderful man and is playing hard to get."

"Exactly! Who wouldn't be attracted to such a great man?"

"Hey! Take a good, long look at the guy in front of her. He looks familiar, like the CEO of Damin Group!"































"This girl must be crazy to reject the CEO of Damin Group."

"I think I remember this girl. She's been working with Mr. Slevin for a long time and has a child, right? Ah! He doesn't even mind that she's divorced with a child, so why is she hesitant to marry him? Disgusting!"

Meanwhile, Elspeth rolled her eyes internally while listening to these conversations. Still, she managed to muster a reluctant smile and urged, "Slevin, don't do this—"

He rarely forces me to do anything, but now, with his eyes wide with anticipation, he kneels before me. This put a tremendous amount of pressure on me.

"Since I've gone through all the preparations for this grand fireworks feast, I won't simply give up. Elspeth, I've genuinely adored you for countless years. If you'd allow me, I hope you'll marry me. Rest assured, I will treat Damian as my very own..." Slevin's words were brimming with heartfelt sincerity, enough to move most young women to tears.

Nonetheless, she did not share the sentiment and doubted his intentions to marry her. Following the earlier discovery of the files, she felt a growing sense of unease whenever he appeared more sincere than before.

"Marry him! Marry him!"

At this point, the growing crowd and resounding encouragement echoed through the air as their cheers almost drowned out Elspeth's voice. As she stood there unsure what to do, a deafening explosion erupted in the distance. Suddenly, an outburst of flames shot straight up into the sky, resembling a misfire from a fireworks display!

"It's an explosion! Run for your lives!"

"Help!"

A moment of calm was suddenly replaced by mayhem as the gathered crowd dispersed in all directions.
