Love is a Surprise--Chapter 19


Two Proposals in One Day

Although the rays of the elegant diamonds shone into her mind,it could not penetrate her heart.Logically,Iris find Philips the best mate as he is blessed by Mrs.Lee.Also,he is already holding a managerial position at the age of 30,with substantial amount of wealth and able to bestow upon her every desire she has.

The opposite is true to Vincent as he is just a junior risk analyst at the age of 25,which has to seriously buck up if he were to be like Philips.The harder thing is Vincent has not yet moved a single artery of Iris's mum.

However,she believe that true love comes within her heart.That is why she pondered for a moment to see which guy is the first one to pop out in her mind.When Philips ask her is she ready for life's biggest decision,she nodded.

Iris looked at Philips apologetically when he proposed to her as she knew that her heart is not into it.Mustering some courage,Iris turned down his proposal without thinking of what might happen if she really did so:Her mum will 'kill' her!But then,it doesn't matter to her as this is her life.It is solely up to her to chose her own life partner,not to live out someone's choice.

She ran away and took a taxi to Vincent's house.He was taking care of his pet rabbit,Hiroki who grown up so much since the last time she came to see it.Vincent constantly chatted with his cute little white rabbit when he is down.Incidentally,Iris heard whatever Vincent told it and can't help but press the door bell to gain access to his house.

Vincent looked at her and said:'I am glad that you came here at last.'Iris burst into tears and kept saying that she is extremely sorry for her misunderstanding of the true situation.Without any hesitation,he forgave her as he is also at fault as well.

He asked her to wait for him in the living room while he go for a bath.As soon as he is done,he came out to meet her with a smile.'Come on let us go for a dinner at our favorite stall,I have got something in store for our reunion...'Vincent said,winking.

So,they had dinner at a simple but warm ramen stall,chatting about everything under the moon.After that,Vincent drove her to a theme park.He went to buy two entrance tickets and both of them went in,feeling as if they were just teenagers.

When Vincent and Iris are in Magical Garden,Vincent asked her to close her eyes.She did as she is told and Vincent quickly kneel on the ground holding a simple looking diamond ring.After that,he tell Iris to open her eyes.

Iris was taken aback when she saw the ring.She could not believe that there were two guys proposing her on the same day.The difference is that she rejected the earlier one,but nodded gladly to the evening's one.They embraced each other for a while as they felt that they are the happiest beings on the universe.

However,as time passes,it is time for both of them to go home.Reality sets in as Iris is going to face her mother again.Let us see how is Iris going to resolve this conflict and win her mother over to accept Vincent as her son-in-law instead of Philips.
