Tawanna burst intoughter, though tears streamed down her cheeks. Wiping her eyes, she chuckled through her tears, “I’m not sure about that… but shouldn’t you propose to me first?”


    Trevor’s face lit up with excitement as he eximed, “Baby… does this mean you’re saying yes?”


    Shaking her head, Tawanna teased, “Not until I see a 10-carat diamond ring.”


    Without missing a beat, Trevor replied, “Don’t worry, baby. As soon as I’m back in the U.S., I’ll find the perfect 10-carat diamond ring. Once my training is done, I’ll fly straight to China and propose to you.”


    Tawanna looked at him with a smile and said, “You can propose, but I can’t promise that I’ll say yes.”<fn87e5> This content belongs to find{n}ovel</fn87e5><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Trevor nodded eagerly.


    He understood that her words were a subtle eptance of his intentions, but he knew he needed to prepare a proposal that would truly satisfy her.


    Atst, the unease that had gued him for days began to fade.


    When the person you love admires someone else, it’s natural to feel jealousy or even frustration—especially when you don’t know who that person is or what they’ve done.


    But when you’ve experienced firsthand what makes that person extraordinary and witnessed their unparalleled qualities alongside your beloved, those negative feelings dissolve.


    Even if he couldn’t grow old with Tawanna in the future, one thing was certain: for the rest of their lives, both of them would see that man as a guiding light and an inspiration.


    As the ne pierced through the clouds, the faint outline of thend below came into view.


    Tawanna turned to him and said, “Honey, we’re almost in China. I finally understand why fans travel thousands of miles to see my concerts. Visiting your idol feels thrilling and exciting every step of the way.”


    Trevor smiled and replied, “Yeah, I feel the same way when I think about seeing Mr. Wade soon.”


    Tawanna added, “I’ve never been to the city where Mr. Wade lives, but I already feel like buying a house there. Trevor, let’s go check it out together before the concert.”


    “Sure,” Trevor agreed readily. “For a global star like you, buying a house in Mr. Wade’s city would probably bring immense publicity to the area. They say your name is practically an economic phenomenon. Your visit to Jinling could put it on the map in ways it’s never seen before.”


    Tawanna nodded and reached out to sp Trevor’s hand tightly.


    She realized she’d never find another man like Trevor—someone who had faced so much with her and stood by her through every challenge. If he truly proposed, she would ept and build a family with him, finally ending her years of emotional restlessness.


    Yet, as she made that decision, charlie Wade’s face shed through her mind.


    She looked at Trevor, his face filled with happiness, and felt a pang of guilt.


    In the end, she knew she was deceiving both him and herself.
