Chapter 346
It was impossible and unrealistic for the Xaviers to allow their precious grandson call someone else "father".
Nora's own feelings for Sheldon were also very complicated. At first, it seemed that she had been pursuing after him. However, since the father and son appeared, this situation had changed.
Now it was Sheldon who was pursuing after her. He was different from before. But now she didn't seem to be looking forward to it.
This made her guilty when facing Sheldon.
After watching a movie and having a meal, the two people went for a walk in the square. It was very lively and there was a huge fountain in the middle. Many people sat down to rest or took pictures. Not long after they sat down, Sheldon left for a while.
Soon, he came back with a guitar in his hand.
Nora was confused, "What are you doing?"
Sheldon smiled gently at her, getting down on one knee in front of her and putting the guitar in place. He put his long fingers on the strings, and there came some pleasant melodies.
She looked at him in astonishment and was somewhat at a loss. She wanted to stand up. There were so many people around her. It was embarrassing for her to see Sheldon to kneel in front of her. "Nora, sit there. I'll sing you a song.”
As he said this, he started to pluck the strings and sing. He was playing the guitar while singing, and he did it fairly well.
When Hailey was educating Sheldon while he was growing up, she wanted him to learn the piano which could make him elegant. But each man had his time of being young and frivolous.
Children usually thought that guitar was cooler than piano. Sheldon was no exception when he was at school. Back then,he secretly took guitar classes with a few close friends and learned it for a while. Although it had been so many years, it was still possible for him to play it after some practice. Although not high-leveled, he could still play some pieces.
Because of Sheldon's show, more people gathered around him in the crowded square, which made it even more impossible for Nora to leave and she could just sit there awkwardly.
This good-looking couple and Sheldon's action of kneeling down to play the guitar made many young men and women feel very romantic and they applauded.
They were excited to see the scene, but Nora didn't feel anything. All she wanted was for Sheldon to finish it soon and they could leave.
Neither of them realized that in the crowd around them, there were two pairs of eyes that were almost spitting fire. Two were staring at Sheldon.
These two figures, one big and one small, were just Derek and Easton, father and son.
When Derek heard his people report that the two of them were shopping and watching movies, he could not be calm and directly came over.
Not only that, but he also brought his son over. After all. If anything happened to him, he can definitely turn things around by asking his son to get involved.
Little Easton clenched his fists tightly while sitting on his father's shoulder. He was so angry that he wished he could rush up and give Sheldon a good lesson. He scratched his ear unhappily.
"Hmph, it's terrible. He sings terribly.” His tone revealed his disgust.
Derek nodded with no expression on his face.
Derek was surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. Because he was wearing a hat and its brim was lowered, most of his face was covered, so no one paid attention to him.
But little Easton's comment was heard by the people around him, and the dissatisfaction they felt was dissipated the moment they saw the boy who had said that was so cute and good-looking. "Little baby, the key is not whether he can sing well. Look, that handsome brother is singing and his girlfriend is the one who is sitting there listening. How romantic is this?"
One of the young girls smiled kindly and explained to him. Everyone around nodded in agreement. "Yeah, if only my boyfriend could be so romantic.”
"Let's not talk about romance first. If only I could find such a handsome boyfriend."
"Yes, his girlfriend is so beautiful. Ah, handsome guys are really always with beautiful girls.”
Easton was furious to see that no one was supporting him, but he was comforted by Nora's blank expression. She was not smiling.
At this time, Sheldon finished his song. He took the guitar off and put it aside. He still kept kneeling on one knee and looked at Nora affectionately.
Standing in the crowd, Derek and Easton had a premonition.
As expected, Sheldon took out a red velvet box from his pocket and opened it. A shiny diamond ring lay inside.
Derek's face darkened, his dark eyes narrowed, and his eyes were filled with danger. How dared he propose to her?
If it wasn't for the public space, Derek would definitely go over, beat Sheldon up, and break his hand like his mother's. Just looking at them was annoying enough.
Little Easton glared at them and gritted his teeth, wishing he could rush up, snatch the ring and throw it away.
At the same time, the father and son had the same idea. Nora... Don't agree.
The protagonist they were thinking about, Nora, was petrified at the moment she saw the ring and was so stunned that she had no reaction.
Sheldon didn't care. He was still affectionately talking about his feelings for Nora, which made the listeners moved.
"Nora, will you marry me? I will treat you well and give you happiness for the rest of your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd around him burst into a roar.
"Marry him."
"Say yes."
“I will.”
There were also some bold and uncomplicated girls who shouted these words directly, which caused a burst of laughter, and Nora finally returned to her senses.
She looked at Sheldon with a complicated expression and her eyes were on the ring which he was holding. She didn't expect Sheldon to propose directly to her, and in such a way.
Nora looked at the people around them and listened to their heckling, who were urging her to say yes immediately, but...
There was no joy in her heart at this moment. She lowered her eyes silently and she was a little confused.
In her mind, Derek's face appeared again, which made her frown even more deeply. It was Sheldon who was her lover.
But every time, she would think about another man, which was obviously abnormal and inappropriate. An answer that made her a little panicked seemed about to break out of her mind However, she suddenly recalled what Derek had confessed to her the last time, about her relationship with him and the reason why she had lost her memory, including everything that happened five years ago.
His voice still seemed to echo in her ears.
