Chapter 234 Confession
The ongoing fireworks kept Chandler and Meryl apart from the rest of the crowd, preventing Dalton from getting close to them. He swallowed and clenched his fists tightly, watching Chandler hugging Meryl a few yards away. Chandler, enjoying the moment, cupped her face and kissed her.
Dalton’s eyes were bloodshot, and veins on the back of his hands bulged. Covering his head, he squatted on the ground and wailed in pain. Yet, the booming fireworks concealed his voice, and no one around him noticed. The sweeter Chandler and Meryl were over there, the sadder Dalton felt. At one point, Dalton even thought he was on the verge of death. An indescribable suffocation enveloped him tightly.
Each burst of fireworks in the sky was like a sharp blade piercing his heart, leaving it soon covered in blood and riddled with wounds. Chandler loved Meryl because his eyes were fixed on her. A powerful man like him dedicated time and effort to her, which showed his affection for her. Dalton had never seen Chandler being so attentive to a woman.
The fireworks display at the seaside lasted for a full half hour. Chandler spent a substantial amount of money, allowing everyone to enjoy the spectacular fireworks. As the fireworks display reached its climax, Meryl’s name suddenly appeared in the sky, accompanied by a bright red heart. This was a confession. It was old-fashioned, but Meryl loved it so much. No girls disliked romance, and she was no exception. The vibrant fireworks clustered into layers of flowers, blooming in the sky with varying brightness. They were sometimes radiant and sometimes dim, creating a dreamlike and breathtaking scene.
In Meryl’s eyes, Chandler had always been noble and aloof. Given his ten years at the police academy, she assumed “romance” would likely never be associated with him. To her surprise, he specially prepared such a fireworks display for her. Meryl’s eyes were bright with the glow of the fireworks as she exclaimed sincerely, “This is absolutely stunning.”
Gazing at her dotingly, Chandler gently put his hand around her shoulders. “Do you like it?”
Meryl nodded vigorously. “Yes!”
Chandler narrowed his eyes. “Do you like fireworks, or do you like me?”
Meryl was stunned.
Chandler stared at her earnestly. “Meryl, I thought that after I set off the fireworks, you would understand my intention.”
Meryl looked back at him. Chandler’s eyes sparkled with the backdrop of the fireworks.
“Meryl, you should know that all I have prepared is to express my feelings to you.”
Meryl was stunned again. Chandler fixed his eyes on her affectionately without blinking.
“You are my wife. Our story didn’t start with love, and that’s alright. But I hope you will show me more than just dependence and flattery. Meryl, I want to build a happy life with you. I’m deeply longing for you, including your love.” He gently rubbed her head lovingly, his gaze tender.
Her mind went blank. Was Chandler courting her? At the end of the year, Galaxy Holdings Group’s workload was so intense that Chandler couldn’t spare time, making it unlikely for him to travel abroad with Meryl. But they didn’t even have a wedding. He felt that he should make it up to her by giving her a trip. So the venue for the annual meeting was decided here. Although it was only two or three days, Chandler had already planned it. He owed Meryl a confession, and it was the best time now.
Chandler’s sexy and pleasant voice rang in her ears, and she was at a loss. He whispered in her ear, “Meryl, can you love me?”
