Lucy's words were all stuck in her throat.
After hesitating for a long time, she forced out a hoarse voice.
"Victor, you know about me and Eisner. I... "
But he interrupted her words without caring at all.
"I know everything. Since childhood, I've watched you chasing after him. You left home for five years just to be with him. I know all of this."
"But I don't care about any of these. I'm just glad that you've finally come to me."
"Lucy, I won't ask about your past with him. As long as you're here, it's never too late for me."
Victor took Lucy's left hand that was lying beside the bed, took out a plain ring, and put it on her ring finger.
This werewolf, Victor, who made even the leaders of terrorist forces yield, now had a voice full of careful flattery in front of Lucy.
"Lucy, you agreed on the phone when you were in the deep mountains."
"Once you wear my ring, you're mine. Don't go back on your word, okay? We can get married first and then fall in love slowly."
He wrinkled his nose playfully and said, "Whatever kind of lover you want me to be, I can be.
Whether you want me to be clingy or aloof, to send you flowers and jewels or to hold a grand banquet in the clan, as long as you make a request, I'll agree. And I'm a fast learner. I'll learn what I don't know. I've always been outstanding since I was a child."
Lucy couldn't help but burst out laughing because of his words.
Victor looked at her tenderly. This was the Lucy he knew, who loved to laugh and have fun.
Since childhood, she had been like a little sun, as if she could drive away all the darkness in the corners.
Lucy had originally planned to decline the marriage alliance, but unexpectedly, Victor had put the wedding ring on her finger first.
The marriage alliance between her and Victor was officially put on the agenda.
Taking advantage of the momentum, Victor visited the Atlant family that day to pay a visit to the clan chief.
He brought a lot of gifts, and his attitude was very humble.
The clan chief was impressed that Victor knew all of Lucy's preferences. When he talked about Lucy, his eyes seemed to be filled with stars. Moreover, he was so open - minded and didn't hide his love for her at all.
He was so straightforward and generous that the clan chief couldn't help but nod in approval in his heart.
When he heard that Victor had spent a lot of money to buy a residence next to the family's, the clan chief liked him even more.
Victor continued to talk, "We can take our time with the decoration. After Lucy is discharged from the hospital, I'll live at home with her first. We can discuss how to decorate the next - door house later."
"Good, good. It's good to live close. I was worried that you young people would move too far away." The clan chief beamed with joy.
"Take your time with the house decoration. There are plenty of rooms at home. You and Lucy can live anywhere you like."
Victor also smiled happily, "Yes, I'll follow your advice, clan chief."
Lucy's older brother was fuming at the side. He thought in his heart: It's too early to call him "clan chief".
But the clan chief seemed not to notice and kept nodding at Victor.
After pondering for a while, Victor said again, "I want to discuss the wedding banquet with Lucy slowly."
"Neither Lucy nor I know much about this. My grandfather is old. I'll have to trouble you, clan chief, to take more care. If you don't mind, I'd like to go and get the marriage certificate with Lucy first."
Her older brother immediately jumped up, but was held down by the clan chief.
"This is something for you and Lucy to discuss. If you young people agree, I have no objections."
After Victor left, her older brother jumped up and down in front of the clan chief.
"Clan chief, why did you agree so easily?"
The clan chief gave him a sideways look, "You're so stupid."

The plane carrying Eisner and Isabella landed at the local airport at 2 a.m.
Seeing that he was absent - minded, Isabella said in a pitiful voice,
"Eisner, did I... did I delay you and Lucy? If it weren't for me, Lucy wouldn't have gone home alone. Please don't blame me, okay?"
Eisner couldn't quite describe his feelings, but he still comforted her in a low voice.
"It's not your fault. This is a problem between her and me."
