Chapter 606 Saskia? First Love?
"He will!" Sarah replied with conviction.
Saskia's face twisted into a sneer. "You think being pretty is enough to keep a man forever? No way! Men need someone interesting! Stay away from Ryder! He's mine! Even if I didn't want him back then, he's still mine!"
"And if I'm not mistaken, you're the one Ryder married in a matrilocal marriage! Do you really think Ryder likes you? No! Your relationship is just mutual exploitation! There's no love there!"
"The person Ryder truly loves is me! He told me back then that if I was meant to be his future wife, he'd start early. He'd hold my hand! Kiss me! Have you ever had that kind of romance? No! Right?"
"Only kids talk about love; adults talk about compatibility!" Sarah couldn't be bothered with Saskia's nonsense.
With that, she walked away gracefully.
Saskia's eyes stayed fixed on the elegant figure beside Ryder. Soon, when the time is right, she'd explain everything to Ryder! She firmly believed Ryder would understand everything she did and come back to her!
She admitted she was impulsive tonight. Seeing Ryder and Sarah close made her insanely jealous!
At that moment, Ryder followed Sarah, like a child who realized his mistake.
"Sarah, I..."
Sarah interrupted calmly, "Let's eat first! I'm hungry!"
"Okay, let's go upstairs quickly!"
But when they entered the restaurant and tried to take the elevator to the top-floor dining area, two waiters stopped them.
"Sorry! The revolving restaurant is booked tonight, so the top floor is temporarily closed to the public."
Ryder was surprised. "Booked?"
The waiter nodded politely. "Yes, sir! Mr. Young from Aurora City booked the revolving restaurant tonight for five million dollars to propose to a girl! You can see the big screen over there; tonight's proposal is very romantic and grand. Mr. Young is happy to share it with everyone! Let's all enjoy it together!"
Sure enough, looking in the direction the waiter pointed, on the big screen, Tyler, dressed in a high-end suit, was kneeling in front of a girl, holding up a diamond ring.
"Barbara?" Sarah looked at the big screen and suddenly spoke, her expression shocked! Then, she pushed Ryder beside her, growling, "First, it was your first love, now it's Barbara! Ryder, how many things are you hiding from me?"
Sarah's beautiful eyes were filled with anger, tears, and a mix of sorrow and disappointment.
At that moment, in the top-floor restaurant, waiters stood on both sides, each holding 99 blue roses. The entire hall was decorated in a dreamy blue tone, very beautiful and romantic!
In the center, Tyler was holding a diamond ring, kneeling in front of Barbara, affectionately saying, "Barbara, will you marry me?"
He continued, "From the first moment I saw you, I liked you! This isn't just some random crush. Remember when we were abroad? I forgot my wallet at the supermarket, and you helped me pay. After that, we got along so well. We've known each other for so many years; you should know how I truly feel about you. Will you marry me? Let me take care of you for a lifetime!"
Barbara covered her mouth, surprised. "Tyler, this is so sudden, I..."
She was more troubled than moved!
She was worried that if she refused Tyler, he'd lose a lot of respect. But if she agreed, her heart seemed not to allow her to do so. What should she do? She thought Tyler just invited her out for a regular dinner. She didn't expect this kind of thing.
Her mother, Sandra, who suddenly appeared and urged Barbara, "Barbara, what are you standing there for? Quickly, give your hand! Say yes to Tyler's proposal! Listen to me!"
The waiters, acting as the background, also shouted in unison:
"Say yes!"
Barbara bit her lower lip, still hesitating!
At this moment, Sandra stepped forward, directly pulling out Barbara's left hand. "Come on, Tyler! Quickly put the ring on! Barbara is just shy at the crucial moment! She's stunned!"
"Oh, okay, okay! Thank you, Sandra!"
So, Tyler successfully put the diamond ring on Barbara's left ring finger and said, "Barbara, now that you're wearing my ring, you're mine!"
Sandra smiled and clapped first to congratulate, "Good! Very good!"
The waiters also applauded. Especially several female waiters, whispering as they watched:
"Mr. Young is so handsome! Handsome, rich, and affectionate, this girl named Barbara is so lucky!"
"I'm jealous too! My boyfriend thinks giving me a bouquet of roses is a waste of money and impractical!"
The ceremony ended here. The waiters, including Sandra, all left one by one, leaving only Tyler and Barbara under the candlelight dinner.
Barbara patted her chest. "If I had known you were going to do this, I wouldn't have come to dinner tonight!"
Tyler poured Barbara a glass of red wine, handing it over. "Alright, don't be mad. Have some wine! This is your favorite brand!"
Barbara took the wine glass. "For the sake of this wine, I'll forgive you for now! But why did you have to do this ceremony! It really scared me!"
They clinked glasses. Barbara and Tyler both took a sip.
Tyler smiled bitterly, "Barbara, I really like you! I want to give you the best of everything! If I didn't do this, I wouldn't know when you'd agree to marry me!"
Barbara pouted, "But I only agreed to your proposal; it's still a long way from actually getting married!"
Actually, she didn't really like Tyler that much; marrying Tyler was not as good as marrying Ryder.
When Barbara had this thought, she was shocked. She quickly took another sip of red wine.
Tyler looked at the red wine stain on Barbara's lips, smiling slightly, "That may not be the case. Maybe you'll change your mind tomorrow and marry me!"
