Chapter 378 Willing to Be His Wife

How did it end up being given to Juniper?

Leaning in closer, she could smell a distinct fragrance. The cross felt smooth and glossy to the touch, with Bible verses carved into its surface.

It looked freshly carved.

Catherine felt a bit worried.

"Did Brad see something he couldn't say? Is Juniper going to face some danger soon?"

Alexander reassured her, "Juniper's lab has even higher security than Zhuque, and she has special forces personnel assigned from above to protect her. She'll be fine. As for Brad... maybe he has some other meaning."

"What meaning?"

Alexander chuckled softly, holding Catherine's hand and gently playing with it.

"Men understand men best. It's normal that Catherine can't see some things!"

Even though Brad was someone who transcended worldly matters, he still had normal human emotions and desires. He just kept all his desires under control!

He would never let himself do anything that crossed the line.

"Sometimes Catherine should think about it. Brad giving something to Juniper is a man giving a woman something very precious to him."

Hearing Alexander put it this way, Catherine vaguely guessed Brad's intention.

"After Brad sat in meditation for several days at that earthquake site, he did look the same as just now. Has he figured things out?"

After thinking it over, Catherine still felt uneasy and simply made a phone call.

Brad was silent for a moment, then smiled with acceptance.

"Catherine, everything in this world is spiritual practice for me!"

Catherine had wanted to ask Brad what his plans were, but she swallowed her words.

For someone like Brad, there probably wasn't anything that could disturb him!

"Then you... stay safe. If anything happens, contact me. The Galactic Aurora Collective will quickly send people to help you."

"Thank you. Having one or two close friends like Catherine in life is enough! All other emotions are just practice for me—whether I have them or not, it's all fate."

"When you asked me to give the cross to Juniper, did you want to say something? Or is she in danger?"

Brad's calm voice didn't have a ripple of emotion.

"With my cross, she won't be in danger."

The cross contained his spiritual power, it would be enough to shield Juniper from disaster once!

Catherine was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Can you bear to part with it?"

It wasn't clear if she was asking about the cross or the person.

"I can bear to part with everything in this world, and I can't bear to part with anything! Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Some things don't need to be told to Juniper. She doesn't need to worry unnecessarily."

"Got it."

Catherine wasn't one to pry, but since this involved Juniper and Brad, she asked a few more questions.

After hanging up, Brad turned off his phone and left Imperia City without looking back.

His clothes fluttered in the wind, snapping loudly.

But it was just the wind moving.

Putting away her phone, Catherine frowned as she looked at Alexander.

"I've known Brad for so long, and this is the first time I've seen him take off his cross."

"Brad probably wants to end this feeling. Catherine, just help him do it."

What Alexander said was right - men understand men best. Brad's various thoughts were indeed not as clear to Catherine as they were to Alexander.

Catherine nodded, glanced at the cross lying quietly inside, and closed the box in front of her.

Since it was something Brad wanted to give, Catherine would deliver it safely.

Alexander said softly, "Catherine doesn't need to worry. Some things are just fate! Instead of thinking about this, why not think about... when you want to get engaged with me?"

Catherine glanced at him.

"Didn't Brad already pick the dates?"

"Brad gave three dates. I'm waiting for you to choose, Catherine."

Brad had previously calculated three best dates. Both the Windsor family and the Howard family said it was up to Catherine and Alexander.

"Although I'd love to get engaged to you tomorrow, the best time is next spring. It's getting a bit cold these days, and you'd be chilly in a dress."

The nearest date Brad gave was in winter, and Alexander felt reluctant.

Catherine was already by his side—he wanted to do his best to let Catherine experience the ultimate happiness.

Alexander knelt on one knee in front of Catherine, taking out a ring he had prepared long ago.

His eyes were warm and affectionate.

"Though it's a bit late, this is something I've always wanted to do."

Knowing Catherine didn't like too many people around at times like this, Alexander had cleared the place in advance. In the huge restaurant, only the sound of a waltz played - a violin accompanied by piano notes, romantic and enchanting.

Alexander's face was serious and devout, like he was bending his knee before a goddess he'd long admired, offering his love.

"Catherine, will you marry me? Will you be with me for a lifetime? A lifetime, only with me."

"Although you have many people around you, I hope the person who walks through the rest of life with you is me!"

"My life isn't perfect, but heaven let me meet you, which is enough to offset all imperfections!"

"I love you, Catherine. Will you marry me? Be my wife and let me love you forever."

His voice was mellow and deep, but falling on Catherine's ears, it somehow carried a slightly intoxicating flavor.

Without drinking, how did she feel drunk?

Probably because Catherine hadn't spoken, Alexander's expression visibly showed some nervousness!

Watching Alexander, who always had everything under control, show nervous emotions with trembling hands.

Catherine couldn't help but laugh.

This Alexander... was really cute!

"I will, but you didn't need to keep hiding the ring box."

When Alexander picked her up for dinner, Catherine had noticed he kept touching his pocket intentionally or unintentionally.

During their embrace, Catherine had already known Alexander was probably hiding some gift for her!

She just didn't expect it to be a long-planned proposal!

Hearing Catherine say she was willing, Alexander's eyes lit up!

She said she was willing!

Holding Catherine's hand, Alexander kissed her palm almost devoutly, pressing his face against it.

Inexplicably, Catherine felt her palm was a bit warm and moist. An almost redemptive joy swept over Alexander, making him emotional.

Catherine's heart also became burning hot because of him.

Feeling his joy, Catherine also curved her lips slightly, her fingers gently stroking Alexander's face, intimate and tender.

The more time she spent with Alexander, the more she was warmed by his burning love!

The Windsor family and Alexander gave Catherine nothing but unreserved favoritism.

Her heart moved, and Catherine pulled Alexander up, wrapping her arms around his neck, her eyes full of playful smiles.

"Is there something you want to say to me?"

"Catherine, thank you!"

Thank you for being willing to be his wife!
