When Love Becomes a Thing of the Past (Zoey) novel Chapter 687

Chapter 667: Be My Lady Augustine

However, his slender fingers extended out, recoiled, then extended again… He tried a few times, but in the end, he didn’t reach out to hold her small hand.

Marcus followed behind all the way and finally, they stopped. Alpha presented an exquisite gift bag. containing a pair of white furry carmuffs. Alpha gently placed the earmuffs over Anabelle’s small Cars.

Anabelle was afraid of the cold. Her small ears had reddened due to the cold during the journey.

At that time, Marcus hadn’t been exposed to luxury goods, but he had heard from his teacher’s daughter that she wanted a pair of carmuffs. Those earmuffs bore a vague resemblance to the ones Alpha had just given, and they were regarded as high-end luxury items, priced in the tens of thousands.

This was the biggest difference between him and this man, Alpha. Alpha could casually spend a fortune. As a scion of a prominent family, he had remarkable aesthetic taste, shining like gold. Anabelle, on that day, wore a white furry coat and the white earmuffs Alpha had given her. Surprisingly, she looked exceptionally pure and beautiful, her translucent appearance making it hard to look away.

Alpha’s large hands remained on the earmuffs, not moving away. He lowered his gaze to look at her, and they exchanged their first words that evening. He spoke softly, “Are you… afraid of me?” Anabelle still didn’t lift her head; she kept her small head lowered and remained silent.

Marcus knew Anabelle too well. Even though she was such a young girl, even when life pushed her to the brink, she could still face it with equanimity. She had a delicate and resilient heart.

That evening, Anabelle was very quiet and obedient. She wasn’t overly enthusiastic towards Alpha, acting rather normally. However, being too normal was, in fact, abnormal.

“Are you afraid of me, or are you afraid of marrying me? Whichever it is, you don’t need to be afraid. The Augustine family is simple; my mother is reasonable and open-minded. She will like you.

Moreover, I’ve prepared a new house for us. After we get married, we’ll move out, so you won’t have to worry about conflicts with your mother-in-law.”

“As for me, I genuinely want to marry you. I will resolve the financial difficulties of the Midas Family. Whatever you want, I can provide it. You can rely on me, attach yourself to me. Of course, I also want a Lady Augustine who sees me in her eyes and heart. Is that okay?”

Alpha spoke softly to her, not resorting to cheap sweet talk. He had already resolved all the concerns about their future life together. He would be her mountain, her strongest support in life. She wouldn’t need to do much; she would only need to see him in her eyes and heart, accompany him in both marriage and love, and offer her affection,

Any woman in the world would be moved by Alpha’s words.

Anabelle lifted her head slowly, her apricot-colored eyes meeting Alpha’s handsome face. She looked at him with watery eyes.

Alpha lowered his head, wanting to kiss her.

But this kiss was interrupted because a Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up.

Alpha halted his motion, causing Anabelle to blush and lower her head once more.

“Then… I’ll go first.”

Anabelle nodded, “Mm.”

So, Alpha got into the Rolls-Royce Phantom and drove away quickly.

Marcus watched Anabelle from behind. Anabelle didn’t immediately leave; she just stood there, watching the direction Alpha had left.

She stood there, watching for a long time.
