Chapter 564 An Unexpected Proposal


    Joe hadn''t replied yet when Anthony, beside them, exined with a smile, "To be precise, we are all employees under Sir Smith''smand. Sir Smith owns the building you see here and is also included in this transfer agreement."


    Charlotte had already been rendered speechless by their exnations. She waved her hand, saying, "I don''t need these things. You better just keep them for yourself."


    As Joe had said, she wasn''tcking money and didn''t have a strong desire for wealth. She wasn''t interested in taking over thisrge fortune.


    Seeing that Charlotte genuinely refused, Joe didn''t insist any further, "Whenever you decide you want them, I can transfer them to you immediately."


    Charlotte found it somewhat amusing and frustrating. She wouldn''t normally think about someone else''s property. She decided to let it go.


    After leaving thew firm, Charlotte noticed a bicycle selling balloons ahead.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    She hurried over, intending to buy some balloons for Ben and Anna. However, when she turned around, she was startled by Joe kneeling on one knee in front of her. "What are you doing?" Charlotte asked in surprise.


    Thebination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman was truly eye-catching in the bustling street. Within a short moment, they had attracted the attention of many people. Especially with the sight of Joe kneeling on one knee prompted exmations and gathered quite a crowd.


    Joe paid no heed to the onlookers; he just looked sincerely and intently at Charlotte. "Originally, my n was to propose to you with all my wealth, but it seems you don''t prefer that kind of approach..." Joe took out a jeweled box from his pocket and opened it to reveal a beautifully cutrge-carat diamond ring.


    "Charlotte, I know that our past has caused us to miss out on many moments, but I''m more focused on the future days we can share together. Will you marry me?"


    "Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!"


    It was only then that Charlotte realized that quite a few people had gathered around them. They were continuously shouting and urging Charlotte to ept Joe''s proposal.


    Charlotte lowered her gaze and stared at Joe for a long while. Memories of their past interactions kept shing through her mind, but in the end, she bit her lip and shook her head. "I''m sorry, I..."


    Before she could finish her sentence, Joe had already stood up. His slender fingers pressed gently against Charlotte''s lips.


    Charlotte blinked as she looked at Joe, and he slowly removed his hand. "I''ve told you many times not to use such formal words with me."


    In reality, Joe wasn''t surprised by Charlotte''s rejection.


    After all, their previous marriage had been too tumultuous, so it was natural for Charlotte to hesitate to try it again.


    He took out his wallet and looked at the balloon vendor by the bicycle, "I''ll take all the balloons here. Could you please give them to the people who cheered me just now?"


    Charlotte looked at him with some hesitation, but Joe shook his head, "Don''t worry, it''s just a way to encourage them. I hope that next time I propose to you, there will be this many people cheering me on."


    Only heaven knew the courage it took for Joe to kneel before Charlotte again to propose. Unfortunately, the sense of security he provided her wasn''t enough for Charlotte to ept his proposal.


    He quietly gazed at the side profile of Charlotte''s face. As long as this person was by his side, he was willing to wait, no matter how long it took.
