Unexpected Fiancée

Chapter 156: We Get Engaged First

“It was me who folded them," Patrick raised an eyebrow at the surprised woman. "Every single paper crane was folded by my own hands. Do you like them?"

Jane did like them, but...

She furrowed her brows and looked at Patrick with a speechless expression. "Patrick, are you that free?"

Patrick rubbed her forehead and put on a slightly aggrieved expression on his handsome face. "Didn't you say you wanted romance?" Romance... well, she only said it casually, did this man take it seriously?

A hint of helplessness rose in Jane's beautiful eyes. "It's so cliché.” "Cliché?" Patrick's deep gaze contained a smile as he said, "If you don't like paper cranes, there are others."

"Others?" Jane was taken aback; what kind of trick did this man have up his sleeve now?

Patrick stood up and walked to Jane with long strides while holding her hand. "Come with me."

He led Jane to the window and pointed outside. “Look over there." "Hmm?" Following where Patrick pointed to outside the window revealed nothing but pitch-black darkness.

"What is there to see..." Before Jane could finish speaking, hundreds of candles suddenly lit up on the beach below forming two stars connected by Cupid's arrow.

The candles flickered in the wind displaying various colors making for an enchanting sight.

Suddenly one candle went out before lighting back up again revealing several large letters that read: “Jane, will you marry me?"

Seeing that Jane was stunned looking out towards the beach below; Patrick held onto her slender waist and curved his thin lips upward asking: "Is this romantic enough?”

Jane came back to reality and covered her forehead while saying: "This is even more cliché..."

"Oh don't worry," Patrick reached out pointing towards the sky above as fireworks began exploding illuminating everything around them including their faces which were bathed in light from all directions as if they were being drowned by an ocean of stars themselves.

As if performing magic tricks himself; from his pocket emerged a red heart-shaped velvet ring box which he opened while kneeling down on one knee gazing deeply into Jane's eyes before saying affectionately: "Jane I want to give this ring to you."

His profound gaze seemed just like those vast oceans capable of drowning people within its depths itself.

"Alright already," pulling him upwards using all her strength; she tugged at corners of mouth smilingly telling him: "You can get up first then we'll talk.”

For someone as proud as Patrick who had gone through so much trouble coming up with these romantic gestures must have really meant something genuine after all!

Being so doted on by him, it was impossible for Jane to not feel touched and happy.

She had a sweet sensation that spread throughout her body like a dense web.

But marriage was out of the question. She hadn't thought about getting married so early.

After thinking for a moment, she said seriously, "Patrick, your proposal barely passes. But I haven't thought about getting married so early.” "Why?" Patrick furrowed his handsome brows slightly. "Is it not romantic enough?"

Jane pursed her lips. "It has nothing to do with romance. After all, we've only known each other for just over a month and we don't know each other well enough yet. Besides, who gets married without dating first?" Jane's idea was that if two people were in love and had established their relationship properly, they should date properly before considering marriage as the next step.

Now that she had just agreed to be in an official relationship with him, she didn't want to jump straight into marriage right away.

"I see." Patrick lowered his head and whispered lowly in her ear. "Since you don't want to get married so early I won't force you but at least let's get engaged first.”

His warm breath brushed against her neck making Jane blush uncontrollably.

Before Jane could say anything else Patrick suddenly grabbed her hand.

Her hand felt cool as he quickly slipped the beautiful ring onto her ring finger like lightning striking without warning.

"What are you doing?" Jane looked at the ring on her finger feeling amazed by its beauty under the light shining down upon it; one exquisite diamond sparkled brightly making Jane almost dizzy from its brilliance

"This is our Pansy family heirloom," Patrick hooked his thin lips while deep affection shone through his eyes which only appeared when he was around Jane; then he pulled her into his embrace with one arm wrapped around hers tightly

Nestling against Patrick's chest made Jane's heart beat faster than usual

After pondering for a moment she nodded saying: "Okay then let's do what you said - let's get engaged.”

Actually regarding engagement matters Old Pansy and Grandpa have already arranged this previously but after all this was just an oral agreement between two grandfathers since back then neither of them knew each other at all

Now it is up to both of them themselves

Seeing the woman in his arms nod her head in agreement, Patrick's deep gaze flashed with a strange color. "Jane, I'm willing to wait until you're ready to marry me."

"Well, you'll have to wait slowly,” Jane's face blushed a little.

"Don't make me wait too long," Patrick chuckled lightly and lowered his head to kiss her...

The next day was the weekend and Patrick took Jane back to the Pansy family estate to visit Old Pansy.

"Mr. Patrick, Miss North,” Mr. Maurice opened the door and respectfully greeted them.

Patrick asked indifferently, "Where is my grandfather?"

"Old Pansy is in his study,” Mr. Maurice led them to the study and knocked on the door. "Old Pansy, Mr. Patrick and Miss North are here." "Come in." Old Pansy's voice came from inside the room.

Patrick pushed open the door and saw that Old Pansy was practicing calligraphy in his study. He walked up to him and said, "Grandfather." Old Pansy put down his pen and smiled at them both saying: “Patrick, Jane! You're here!"

Jane noticed that Old Pansy looked much better than before so she smiled kindly at him asking: "Old pansy are you feeling okay now?" "Why do you still call me old pansy?" Old pansys eyes narrowed as he stared at Jane with a smile on his face saying: "You should change your address like Patrick does calling me Grandfather right?"

Uh... grandfather...

Jane looked over at Patrick beside her only seeing him raise an eyebrow saying: "Grandfather is right."

Under Old Panys eager gaze , Jane opened her mouth hesitantly saying : "Grandfather."

“That's more like it!" old pansies beard twitched as he spoke surprisingly:"Patrick when will you two get married?"

Marriage... well it seems like everyone in ThePancy family is impatient about this matter.

Jane quickly spoke up saying:" Grandpa we haven't planned on getting married so soon.”

"Hmm?"

Old Panys brow furrowed slightly but before he could say anything else , Patricks magnetic voice rang out :" Grandpa , we will be engaged first
