Chapter 553 ‘Ugh, to h*ll with it!‘ Alexander decided not to overthink it, removed a lighter from his
pocket, and lit the sparklers. Surprisingly, the sparklers lit up, albeit only for a short while. He held them
in his hands, and they looked pretty.
Seeing Alexander being this clumsy with a severe expression, Lily tried her best to hide her growing
smile. She walked over and took one of the sparklers from his hand. “What now?” Alexander looked at
Lily without saying anything. Then a soft clicking sound echoed, and their surroundings lit up brightly, to
Lily‘s surprise. One light at a time formed a circle around them as they stood in the middle.
Lily did not know when Alexander had planned all of this, but it was apparent he had spent a lot of time
and effort on it. There were lights all over the garden, including the ones on the trees. It looked like a
huge stage, and they were standing right at the heart of it.
“What‘s all this about?” She turned toward the ‘mastermind‘ and asked while grinning. However,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtseconds later, her smile froze as slie stared in surprise at Alexander kneeling on one knee before her.
He removed a ring box from his jacket, and a shiny diamond ring was sitting inside.
“I know this is not practical since it‘s inconvenient for you to wear it to work. Still, I wanted to give you a
proper wedding ring,” Alexander said sincerely. He paused for a short while before asking, “Lily
Christian, will you marry me?”
At that moment, Lily was at a loss for words. She drew her lips into a thin line, feeling a mixture of
wanting to laugh and cry, “I‘m already married to you.”
They had even done their marriage registration, so why was he proposing to her now? “Then just marry
me twice,“Alexander paused before continuing, “This time, I want the whole world to know you‘re
mine.” He was still the same old strong–willed Alexander. Lily averted her gaze to somewhere else and
back at him again. She smiled cheekily, “Can I say no?”
Alexander immediately stood up, one of his hands came to hold hers, and the other circled her waist,
“Well, you can try.”
Lily could only laugh at his antics. This fantastic man looked calm even when asking for her hand in
marriage. How could she possibly say no? Lily believed she would never find someone like him again.
Alexander held her hand and lowered his head. He put the ring onto her finger and said thoughtfully,
“From today onward, you won‘t be able to escape. You‘re mine.”
“I‘ve never thought of escaping.” Lily shook her head and tightened her grip on Alexander‘s hand. She
threatened jokingly, “It‘s you that won‘t be able to escape. It‘s too late for you now!”
Alexander lowered his head and kissed hier lips. “I‘ll gladly stay.”
His greatest wish was to take Lily as his wife, and he would gladly accept any challenges that came
their way.
A loud sound echoed from above, and Lily immediately lifted her head upward to check the source of
the unusual sound. She saw a helicopter landing on the field in front of them. The wind it created was

her coat around herself. She looked at her husband and asked, “This was part of your plan too?!”
“Come on!” Alexander looked at his wateli, and the timing was perfect. Although he had a rough start,
he somehow managed to make everythiing work according to his plan.
Lily raised an eyebrow as things seemed to be taking an exciting turn. She was curious about what
else he liad installed for her that night.
She allowed Alexander to lead her onto thic helicopter, and when it got hiiglier, slie could finally see
what it was like below. The lights around them were already beautiful and romantic, but from afar, she
could finally make out the actual shape of the lights.
It was far from the initial circle she thought it was; the lights formed letters with a love–heart shape in
the middle. It was ‘A love L,’ the first letters of their names.
Alexander had undoubtedly spent a lot of time planning this, but... Lily tilted her head sideways as she
stared below. Alexander pulled her into his embrace and whispered into her ear, “Do you like it?” **I like
it, but...”
