Love Dissipating Without A Trace
Chapter 17

When the train is about to depart, I walk them to the train.

"Charlotte!" A familiar voice came from behind.

I turn around and see Alexander holding a lot of gift boxes in his hand.

"Mr. Theodore and Mrs. Theodore, I am Charlotte's boyfriend. I am sorry I didn't come to visit you these days," Alexander smiled without looking at me and continued, "These are gifts for you. I hope you will like them."

My parents look at him in surprise and then at me, not sure if what he said is true.

"Dad, Mom, time to board. Hurry up. I will explain this to you later," I urge them to leave. My parents boarded with a confused expression.

Turning around, I change color and question him, "Alexander, what are you doing here?"

"I am your boyfriend. Since your parents had come, I should have visited them."

"Now you want to visit them. This is not what you had said to me before."

"Charlotte, I was not mature before and I admit my mistake. I apologize to you."

"What you did is very rude," I look at him calmly, "Let's go back. I have something to say."

Arriving home, I sit and then come straight to the point, "I used to deceive myself that you love me and turn a blind eye to the issue between us. Some sentences in this chapter require you to read the complete chapters on Jo'bni'b.com to avoid an incomplete reading experience. Our relationship has already gone sour in fact. I have been thinking carefully these days and now I'd like to announce my decision, that is, let's..."

"Charlotte, will you marry me?" Alexander suddenly interrupt me and take out a delicate box from his pocket.

He opened the box. There was a shining diamond ring.

I freeze for a while.

He continues, "The reason why I didn't come back home is that I was thinking about proposing to you. This is carefully selected by myself and I am sure this is your favorite style."

The diamond on the ring is cut in a heart shape, which is indeed my favorite style.

I recall when I was flipping through a magazine, I showed a design of a diamond ring to him and asked him how it looked.

In fact, I was just trying to know his attitude toward marriage.

He then only took a glance and pushed the magazine away from him, saying, "So ugly."

I couldn't be more disappointed at that time.

Because I really wanted to marry him and our marriage had appeared in my dream endless times. Today, he is proposing to me but I am not excited about it at all.My expectations for him expire. "Charlotte, will you marry me?" Alexander looked at me with great affection.

"I won't," I say every single word indifferently.

Alexander shows no surprise as if he has expected this from me.

He forces an ugly smile and seems to cry, 'Is it your birthday?"

"What?" I don't understand what he meant.

He continues with difficulty, "On your birthday, I didn't come. The next morning, you didn't make breakfast for me, you didn't text me, and you didn't call me when I was out with friends. You stopped asking me where I was, what I was doing and when I would go home. When Camilla came closer to me, you didn't get angry anymore. You've changed after your birthday."
