Chapter 503
Haley picked up the blood-stained suit from the trash can.
She lifted it and felt like there was something in the pocket of the clothes. She touched it with her hand and was stunned.
It turned out to be—
Her heart fluttered again.
She pursed her lips, and after a few seconds, her face returned to normal.
She walked to the bedside and handed the suit over. "Here you go."
Ivan took the suit, not minding the dirt, felt in the pocket, and then took out a red small box.
He looked up at Haley, his voice low and gentle. "Haley, will you marry me?"
He opened the box, revealing a dazzling pink diamond ring.
The ring was perfectly cut, emitting a brilliant light under the lamp, hurting Haley's eyes.
If it weren't for today's accident, his proposal would have been perfect.
But now, they were in a small hospital room, no roses, no romance, just the pungent smell of disinfectant. However, her heart felt like it was wrapped in the softest thing.
As if she had someone to rely on, and from now on, she didn't have to be so strong, didn't have to pretend to stand in front of the children.
Scenes from the past flashed before Haley's eyes.
Since she met this man, her life has indeed become more colorful.
Not only her, but Todd and Angela, the smiles on their faces have also increased.
Perhaps, she could really give it a try. Try to accept a man, try to create a family with him, try to live happily together as a family. Haley felt her eyes getting a little moist.
She took a deep breath, raised her face, and smiled brightly. "Mr. Winston, we've only known each other for a few months, and you already want me to marry you so quickly. Don't you think it's progressing too fast?"
Too fast?
Ivan didn't think it was fast at all.
He even felt it was slow, too slow.
He didn't know how to make up for the five years he missed.
His gaze floated with sincerity, and he said slowly, "Haley, do you know, when I saw that person lying in a pool of blood tonight, I regretted it, regretted not confessing to you earlier, regretted not being with you earlier. Life is so short; I really don't want to wait anymore. Haley, marry me."
His voice made her feel a bit unsteady.
She had already decided to accept this man, but to talk about marriage after only a few months of knowing each other was really too fast for her. She suppressed the flutter in her heart, fluttered her long eyelashes, and said, "Let's start as boyfriend and girlfriend first, okay?"
Ivan, holding the ring, was a bit at a loss.
It was his first confession, his first proposal, and the first time he encountered such a tricky situation. They were already in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, and after the confession, they were still just boyfriend and girlfriend. Wouldn't that be a waste of effort for him? He wanted to marry her.
He wanted her to be his woman.
He wanted to kiss her without reservation.
He wanted to see her as the first person every morning.
But the woman he loved felt that things were progressing too fast.
Was it really too fast?
Ivan's beautiful thin lips tightened into a straight line.
The room suddenly fell silent.
Haley was also a bit stunned. Could this man think she was rejecting him?
Before, she agreed to be his girlfriend for Keith and Owen.
Now, she was willing to be in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship because she was ready to let this man into her life.
He wouldn't misunderstand that she didn't want to marry him, right?
Haley was a bit conflicted.
In the past four years, her character had become more decisive and straightforward, rarely hesitating or being conflicted about anything.
