The Dragon God of War

chapter 43's

Lucas knelt on one foot among the flowers and raised his head to ask, “Will you marry me?”

Cheyenne covered her mouth as her tears continued to flow.

Surrounded by flowers and romantic lights and proposed by a handsome man with an exorbitant diamond ring is a sight that all women dream of.

Complicated emotions surged in Cheyenne's heart, but she couldn't say yes. “I'm sorry..”

His words made a trace of disappointment flashed in Lucas' eyes, and he immediately smiled bitterly. Well, I failed to fulfill my duties as a husband and father for many years and made Cheyenne bear such a huge burden alone. What makes me think that I can make him accept me in such a short time?

The exorbitant jewelry and diamond rings are Lucas's way of expressing his feelings, but he would never have thought that Cheyenne would approve his proposal just because of his gift.

The woman who was adored for so many years was clearly not materialistic.

As such, Lucas was already mentally prepared to be rejected by Cheyenne.

However, she still could not help feeling uneasy after being completely rejected by the woman she liked, even though she had prepared herself for it.

When Cheyenne saw Lucas' eyes becoming fainter, she felt a little anxious. “Um, I'm sorry, but right now I can only think of you as Amelia's father. I've not seen you as my husband. I hope you will understand. ”

Lucas nodded. He naturally understood that Cheyenne was willing to let him stay with the Carter family for a while just for the sake of their daughter.

When she and Cheyenne got married back then, they had no feelings for each other, and after that, she was gone for years. Now that she had just returned, Cheyenne would definitely not fall in love with her so quickly.

“Do you hate me then?” tanyanya gently.

Cheyenne. She thought about it carefully and realized that Lucas had never done anything heinous to her before.

The incidents in which they were involved were all because they had been arranged. Six years ago, Cheyenne's parents told him that Lucas had stolen the family's money and abandoned it when he fled.

Back then, he hated Lucas for being an irresponsible liar.

However, on the first day Lucas returned, Cheyenne knew that his parents must have lied. Lucas did not steal their money or leave it on purpose.

Lucas once mentioned that he went to be worthy of her. The fact that he came to propose to her with a diamond ring worth tens of millions of dollars is the best proof.

In addition, after Lucas returns, he accompanies him to deal with Carters, protect him, and play with Amelia. In particular, on that cold, heavy rainy day, it was Lucas who took her away from that frightening place and even took care of her when she was ill …

So, to be fair, Cheyenne did not hate Lucas and even had a good impression of him.

However, this alone was not enough for Cheyenne to accept Lucas as her husband.

Cheyenne bit her lower lip tightly and shook her head slightly.

Lucas looked at him happily. “Because you don't hate me, that's enough. Hope you can give me a chance. I'd really like to treat you well. And if you can see my sincerity in the future and feel that you can trust me and depend on me, please do not reject me again. ”

When she got off in the elevator and returned to the banquet hall on the first floor, Cheyenne felt like she was in a trance and thought it was not real.

Lucas's sudden proposal and the fact that he was a mysterious man caused a commotion in Orange County…

“Cheyenne! Where are you going? We're so worried about you! ” Karen hurriedly pulls Cheyenne's arm and drags her out of surrealism.

“What's up, Mom?”

“You still dare to ask me? You went to the bathroom for a long time, and we couldn't find you! Oh yea. It's your wedding anniversary with Lucas today as well. Is that useless ... don't give you a gift? ” Karen asked, keeping her voice low.

Cheyenne immediately remembered everything that had happened upstairs just now.

“I told you, that boy Lucas pretended to be poor in front of us. You should make it give you more gifts! Don't let him use it! ”

Cheyenne was suddenly dumbfounded. Did Mom know so quickly that Lucas was the mysterious man who showed up at the auction?

Before Cheyenne could ask, Karen continued, “Hmph, you don't even know, do you? The engagement gift the Sawyers gave our family was not for Charlotte, but as a token of gratitude for that useless kindness! Funny, right? Why does that trash deserve such a big reward from the Sawmill? “

Cheyenne blinked and took a long time to react. “You mean the big box the gift is not for Charlotte but a thank you gift for Lucas?”

He had only been gone for a short time, so how could so many things happen?

However, when Cheyenne saw a look of displeasure on Charlotte's face, she decided not to pry any further. No girl is comfortable with such misunderstandings.

Some of them were looking for William Carter, Cheyenne's father, who was already drunk and hiding in a corner of the hall. Then they go home.

Upon arriving home, Cheyenne ends up listening to Karen's story of how they met Ethan Sawyer and discovers that the gift was just a big misunderstanding.

However, Karen certainly did not mention that she almost agreed to let Cheyenne be her second wife. He only emphasized how unfortunate Ethan Sawyer's son was to be married and Charlotte had missed the opportunity for a good marriage. He then began to criticise Lucas in front of Cheyenne.

“Cheyenne, your defeated husband helped the Sawmills and received so many gifts from them, but he remained silent about it! How inhumane he is. ”

Cheyenne was a little quiet. “Bu, didn't mom keep all the gifts at home? Actually, since the gift was for Lucas, you had to return it to him. ”

“What?!” Karen yells. “You want me to return it to Lucas? Impossible! Lucas is our son-in-law who lives at home, so the things given to him should be ours. Why should we give it back to him? ” As she spoke, Karen stuck out Cheyenne's forehead, wishing her better.

“How do I give birth to a stupid girl like you? You are eager to give us the wealth you have given us! I didn't tell you this for the sake of letting you hand the treasure over to that dumpster, Lucas! ”

“What exactly do you want to say?” Cheyenne asked, feeling uncomfortable.

“Are you stupid ?! Think about it . Since the Sawyer had said that Lucas helped them a lot, they must have given him more than just a box of gifts. He definitely holds more than that! What he has is yours. You should hurry up and think of a solution to get it from him! If not, you will let him benefit greatly when you divorce in the future. ”
