Mommy 251
Charlie asked in a soft voice. “Then when will you be willing to be my lawful wife?”
Kamryn pretended to think hard as if she was unwilling to say yes so easily.
She bit her lip and suddenly thought of something. She said half–seriously and half–jokingly, “Of course I will, but under a condition.
Charlie could guess that she would come up with another idea to make things difficult for him, but he still asked, “What’s the condition?”
Kamryn put her hands behind her back and thought for a long while. Suddenly, she looked up at the sky. At the sight of the twinkling stars, she had an idea.
She turned around, looked into his eyes, and said like a spoiled child with a pout, “Give me the stars in the sky, and I’ll agree any of your requests.”
In truth, Charlie had already seen through her intentions at a glance.
However, he pretended to be ignorant and only nodded gently before he smiled lovingly and said, “Sure.”
“Did you agree?”
It was to her surprise that he had replied to her with a “sure“.
She had just intended to make things difficult for him on purpose, but she couldn’t believe he had immediately agreed.
Kamryn was rendered speechless, too shocked to speak.
She was at a loss for words, for she had never expected Charlie to agree.
Although she had just requested it casually, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was intentionally making things difficult for him.
After all, she wouldn’t satisfy him so easily when she felt that he seemed to be proposing marriage to her.
She had imagined that he would surely be baffled by such an imposition and would then coax her with sweet words. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
She always felt that this man was omnipotent, so she thought she should at least get him baffled once.
She had planned to agree to his proposal when he was at a loss for what to do even if he couldn’t come up with a proper answer to her imposition
However, beyond all her expectations, he had agreed to it right away.
‘But… How can it be possible for him to pick the stars in the sky? It was just a joke, but I can’t believe he has taken it seriously!
to
At the thought of this, Kamryn felt that he was unfathomable, so she could not help but ask, “How can you pick a star for me?”
Charlie rubbed his chin with a troubled expression. “It’s indeed quite difficult to pick a star in the sky.”
He paused.
*But I have no choice but to do it. He rubbed the tip of her nose indulgently and said helplessly, “Since you want it, I’ll pick it for you.
Kamryn pouted and let out a snort. “You can’t just pay lip service to it
Charlie held her hand and said pitifully, “Of course, I’ll listen to you.”
He led her down a secluded path with her hand in his.
Kamryn asked suspiciously. “Where are you taking me?”
“T’ll go pick the stars for you.”
Kamryn was stunned.
Now that he was deliberately being mysterious, she became greatly interested in seeing what he would do.
The path led to a hill. Hundreds of years ago, the natives of South Lake lived by the hills and the water.
It had to be said that this was a treasured place. With abundant resources in the hills and rivers, people here lived a peaceful and satisfying life. It was a real secluded paradise.
During those years of war, natives had managed to be isolated from war with the mountains.
Later on, it wasn’t until the authorities removed several hills for city development that outsiders had discovered such a beautiful ancient town here.
However, there were still many hills left around the South Lake. On top of one of them, there was a building.
Following the winding path up the rock stairs, the two of them climbed a few hundred steps in the night. As they arrived at the Top of the hill, the eye–catching building with its name ‘Stargazing Tower‘ written on it could be seen.
“Stargazing Tower?” asked Kamryn.
“Yes. In ancient times, this was the place for star observation. You can have a panoramic view of South Lake’s sceneries by standing here.”
On the top of the hill, there was a large viewing area which was sealed with railings. It was said that one could have a glimpse of the best scenery by looking down the hill there.
Kamryn felt helpless. “Did you bring me here just to watch the stars?”
Charlie said disapprovingly, “What’s the fun of watching the stars like this?”
He took her hand and led her to the back of the building.
Just as Kamryn was wondering what on earth he was going to do, she saw a glow of flames in the distance as they approached the back.
It was not until she walked over that she found that there was a huge hot air balloon parked in the empty area in the back.
Kamryn was completely stupefied at the sight of the hot air balloon. If she was 100% surprised when they were on the Dove Bridge before, then she would admit that she was 200% surprised at the appearance of this hot air balloon!
Holy! No wonder he agreed so quickly when I asked him to pick stars for me. It turns out that he came prepared! How did this man think of this? Kamryn spoke to herself in her heart.
She was still in a daze even when the two of them boarded the hot air balloon and slowly rose into the air.
For the first time in her life, she was on a hot air balloon.
Before she could marvel at his attentiveness and foresight, she was deeply dazzled by the beautiful scenery as the hot air balloon slowly rose into the air.
As they flew hundreds of yards up into the sky overlooking the entire South Lake scenic area, they could capture the most beautiful scenery of the ancient town in their eyes.
Looking down, the ancient street bustling with people, the classic ancient town, and the red candlelight on the lake all glowed like stars.
Gradually, no one in the scenic area could be seen from the distance. Even the huge painted ship was now as small as an ant in their eyes. However, they could see thousands of glows from the flower lamps floating on the Green Lake, which surrounded the South Lake Ancient Town
The Green Lake was connected to the South Lake. What surprised her was that she immediately saw the South Lake full of flower lamps when the hot air balloon floated above it!
The vast South Lake looked like the romantic Milky Way!
Kamryn was so engrossed in the scenery of the South Lake that she didn’t notice that she was also enveloped in stars all over the sky until she inadvertently looked up as the hot air balloon flew higher and higher.
The dark sky was lit up by dazzlingly flickering stars.
They were like diamonds embedded in the night sky.
From time to time, a few clouds could be seen, veiling the sky and making it look more mysterious.
Some stars shone brightly, while others shimmered, scattering around the sky. Looking from afar, the sky was like a huge and magical chessboard.
She was so focused on the stars that she forgot to hold the rope. The hot air balloon jolted from time to time, but his arms. were firmly wrapped around her so that she didn’t have to worry or be afraid at all. With this man by her side, she felt no uncase even at such a high altitude.
Charlie followed her gaze and looked at the starry sky. He suddenly asked casually, “Have you got your eye on any stars?”
She turned around in shock, only to meet his intense and charming gaze.
His eyes seemed to be also filled with twinkling stars. When he blinked with a smile, there seemed to be countless stars glistening in his eyes.
He asked this as if he could easily get me whichever star I liked! thought Kamryn.
Kamryn came to her senses and turned to look at the sky again. She pointed to the stars in the distance and said, “Do you see a few particularly bright stars over there?”
Charlie looked over and smiled. “Yes, I’ll pick some for you.”
With that, he reached out his hand as if he could really pick the stars!
