For those two years, he was like a shadow, always following me, so gentle that it was hard to turn him away.
I once joked that the way he took care of me made it seem like I was a child who couldn't take care of herself.
He would always smile and pat my head. "In my eyes, you are my little treasure."
At the height of my infatuation, I truly believed he cared for me more than even my parents did.
Gradually, from him chasing after me to me realizing I couldn't live without him, I found myself unable to imagine a life without him.
Eventually, Ethan proposed to me with a bouquet of fresh roses and a diamond ring that wasn't very large.
I agreed without hesitation, but my parents were vehemently opposed.
At that time, my family business had already become a leading enterprise in the region. My father had already picked out a suitable husband for me, the son of a business associate.
No matter how large our family business grew, it was still a family-run enterprise, and my father believed that a marriage alliance with the Brooks family would provide the support needed when I eventually took over the company.
But I was blinded by love and wouldn't hear of it.
