Chapter 10 After I quit my job , I no longer had to spend extra time every day learning computer knowledge that I had interest in . +25 BONUS I had studied jewelry design in university , so I could finally pick up my drawing tools once more and work in the industry that I loved . I was painting in the greenhouse in the afternoon when Jayce paid me a sudden visit . He brought me a tiara inlaid with pearls and diamonds , which I immediately recognized as an antique tiara from the last century . I'd once seen it in a book . I really liked the design on the tiara . The pearls on the tiara were also clear and lustrous , and they were arranged according to their sizes . Additionally , they were cleverly paired with diamonds to look like a lover's tears upon the tiara . Jayce gave this tiara to me . I told him that I hadn't done anything to receive a reward , but he replied that it was a gift that he'd long prepared for his fiancée , so he was just giving it to its rightful owner . My confusion had finally been cleared up . I'd always wondered who paid an exorbitant price to buy the tiara that had caught my eye before the bidding for it even began back during my 18th birthday . It turned out it'd been Jayce . How could he have been so sure back then that I'd like this gift though ? So , Jayce explained to me that when he was 16 , he'd suddenly fainted while on the Bengara Islands and had almost been washed out to sea by the waves . I'd been the one to rescue him with a lifebuoy . As soon as he opened his eyes , he'd committed my appearance to memory . He'd felt that I was an angel descended from heaven . Coincidentally , his mother , Evelyn Tudor , had been my course instructor back in university . It was no wonder he knew my preferences like the back of his hand . I said , " So , you decided to arrange for us to be married because I saved your life . I hadn't really thought much about it when I rescued you back then though ... " In fact , I hadn't even recognized him at first sight , which I felt terribly guilty about . Yet , Jayce shook his head upon hearing my words . " Do you perhaps believe in love at first sight ? " I couldn't help but smile . Something like love at first sight sounded more like a plot device out of a fairy tale . Jayce smiled as well . " I don't believe in it either , but the way my heart beats faster every time I see you is very real . " His eyes were filled with affection , and I felt like I was drowning in his gentle gaze . My heart began to flutter like a butterfly's wings . Jayce told me that he'd been waiting for me for more than ten years . When he first saw that I had a boyfriend , he'd considered backing off . However , when he found out that Liam had a long - time crush he'd buried within his heart , he knew that Liam wouldn't be able to give me the happiness I wanted . So , he decided to try and pursue my affections . He took out a diamond ring and got down on one knee , holding the fitting ring to my fingertip . " I hope I can have a chance to love you openly . It's alright if you don't believe me now . We have long lives ahead of us , and I'll prove myself through action . " My parents also appeared out of nowhere , each holding a bouquet of roses . " Say yes ! Say yest " they chanted cheerfully . I thought back to the scene I'd witnessed at the restaurant on my birthday . I'd now become the protagonist of such a scene , surrounded by flowers and cheers . Chapter 10 +25 BONUS This time , I would also be wilful for once and go along with this spontaneous romance . I put my finger through the ring . Jayce , with tears in his eyes , slowly slipped the ring onto my finger inch by inch until it fit snugly . Cecilia walked over and placed the pearl - and - diamond tiara on my head . Adam was in tears , but even as he wiped away his tears , he didn't forget to take pictures and videos of the scene .
