Landon had been with Christine for seven years, and he had never once considered proposing. 1
He definitely never thought that Christine had considered proposing to him.
He definitely was a bit of a bastard, but those other women were just fleeting interests. None of them meant anything to him.
Even Mindy, the one who had caused Christine to leave, only held his interest for three days.
After that, he grew bored. His heart always went back to Christine.
They’d spent seven years together. He’d definitely grown tired and felt numb.
But some people were like air. Only after they were gone did you notice how important they were.
Nothing felt right without Christine around.
When he was with his friends, all he could think about was her.
Especially when he got drunk.
If Christine was there, she would pretend to be angry and stop him.
If she couldn’t stop him, she would have stayed up to make him food. She would let him rest on her lap and massage his temples.
Her hands had always been so soft. Her caring complaints and worried nagging were annoying at the time.
Yet now, he missed it so much.
Hansen thought to himself that he would propose to her when she came back this time.
He already knew a long time ago that Christine really wanted to marry him.
If he gave her the marriage she wanted, she would feel more secure. Then, she would probably forgive him.
The old tailor was truly a master of his craft.
The wedding dress had been restored so well that it looked practically the same as the original.
Hansen paid the man and left, but just as he stepped outside, his phone suddenly rang.
For some reason, he felt oddly anxious. Only when he saw Jergie’s name on the screen did his rapidly beating heart slowly calm down. “Hansen, there’s something I feel like I should tell you.”
“What is it?” Hansen replied.
