Chapter 670 I Only Enjoy Gazing at Bright Stars

The church was decorated with bouquets of flowers. The sun was setting, and the very last rays of

sunshine painted the white building gold. The scenery was so beautiful that Leanna wouldn't have

doubted it if she had been told that she had stumbled straight into a fairytale.

Aidan slowly released her hand before speaking cautiously, "Your words about getting married to me…

Does it still count?"

She raised her head and stared into his eyes. When she saw his careful yet hopeful stare, she

belatedly realized what he had planned.

If truth be told, she did think of the possibility that Aidan would propose to her. However, she never

thought that he would arrange for such a romantic proposal.

Her eyes glistened as she choked out softly, "You were the one who rejected me last time."

"That's why I'm making it up to you now," Aidan said as he got down on one knee and took out a ring

from his pocket. "Can you please give me another chance?"

Leanna's eyes brimmed with tears as she nodded her head lightly. "Okay."

Unbeknownst to this silly man, I had already gotten over all things that happened in the past when I

returned to Jamesdon. Our meeting was nothing but a cruel trick Fate played on us. At one point, I

used all my strength and courage to correct this mistake. Initially, I thought that our relationship would

end on the day of our divorce. Yet, it never crossed my mind that our divorce was the actual beginning

of something beautiful.

In the past, I always felt that there was a vast canyon between us. I could never see through his masks,

and his demeanor frightened me. Nonetheless, I learned that he wasn't all that complicated after truly

spending time with him over the year. Instead, he is simply someone that possesses a particular set of

principles and beliefs.

It's also precisely because of this reason that outsiders and the Pearsons would make assumptions

about Aidan through their own lenses. That's why they find him daunting and challenging to deal with.

Still, although Aidan was forced to live in such a complicated environment, he still possesses a pure

and gentle spot in his heart all this time. It is a sacred place that has been inaccessible to anyone until

now.

Aidan slowly slid the ring on her before he rose to his feet, held her in his arms, and said mirthfully, "So,

does it mean I can finally call you Mrs. Pearson now?"

Leanna sniffled as she retorted, "No, you can't. I will only be Mrs. Pearson after we apply for our

marriage license."

"Sure. You're the boss."

Leanna leaned into his embrace and whispered, "Is this why you brought me here?"

Aidan loosened his hold on her slightly. "Not entirely."

Suddenly, he turned sideways, presenting Leanna with the view that he had been hiding with his broad

back.

Her eyes widened as his charmingly low and husky voice sounded next to her ear, "This is what I

wanted to give you."

The entire sky was filled with twinkling stars. The shimmering sea looked even more glorious under the

night sky's dark canvas. The stars seemed as though they were within a mere hands' reach.

As Leanna raised her head and admired the wondrous view before her, the starlight reflected in her

beautiful eyes.

Just as she was mesmerized by the starry sky, Aidan's voice continued ringing in her ear, "This place is

known as the world's first 'Starry Sky Nature Reserve' as well as the only star reserve to date."

Leanna instinctively stretched out her hand, seemingly intending to catch a star, while she listened to

Aidan's elaboration. She had never seen such scenery where the indigo sky seemed so close, and

every star appeared as though it had been hung right before her eyes.

Naturally, Aidan caught sight of her actions as he teasingly waved his hand, saying, "Let me show you

a magic trick."

Since Leanna's mind was still whirling over Aidan's proposal earlier, she struggled inwardly for a long

time before she shifted her gaze to him with incredible difficulty. She felt shocked and surprised as she

asked, "Since when do you know any magic tricks?"

Aidan merely quirked a brow at her and asked, "Which star do you like? I will pick it for you."

Leanna pointed to the brightest star shining in the sky. "That one."

Aidan slowly curled his hand into a fist and shook it slightly. The next second, a necklace with a star

pendant dropped from his fingertips and was revealed before her eyes.

Leanna was once again amazed, for she clearly remembered that there was nothing in his hand earlier.

Aidan lowered his hand, turned around, and put the necklace on for her. "I grant you the permission to

keep staring at me with such adoring eyes."

She was rendered momentarily speechless when she heard the words that escaped his lips.

Still, she lowered her head and looked at the sparkling necklace on her chest. "When did you buy this?"

"The moment I decided to bring you here."

"How would you know that I will accept your marriage proposal?" teased Leanna.

Aidan sat on the ground and tugged her next to him. "I wasn't sure if you would accept my proposal,

but I knew that you would certainly like this place." That way, even if she rejects the proposal ring, she

will at least accept the necklace, and I will still gain something from this trip.

Leanna nodded and turned her attention back to the starry sky. "You are quite right."

After a while, she seemed to have recalled something when she asked, "Is this the place that you

mentioned to me? The one you heard about when you were on a business trip in Arcburg?"

"Yeah. I came over right after I was done with the project discussion."

She tilted her head in intrigue and asked, "Why? You don't seem to be someone who is particularly into

stars."

Aidan simply looked at her and said languidly, "I never said that. In fact, I am very fond of bright stars."

Leanna met Aidan's eyes, and her face flushed crimson the moment she understood the compliment in

Aidan's words. Since my name carries the meaning of light or bright, is Aidan referring to me as these

bright stars in the sky? If so, is he meaning to tell me that he is madly into me? When she arrived at

that thought, she avoided staring into Aidan's eyes for a moment and looked frantically elsewhere

before letting out a cough. "I mean… I never expected that you would be an astronomy enthusiast."

He immediately denied such claims, "There's no such thing. I'm not an astronomy enthusiast."

After a pause, he continued, "I only enjoy gazing at bright stars, especially this particular bright star in

front of me."

Although Leanna was used to his occasional honeyed words, she still found it somewhat hard to resist

sweet words such as these. Her face was as red as a tomato as she stammered, "You—"

Before she could say anything, he cupped her cheek and kissed her, silencing her replies.

Leanna groaned in protest before returning his kiss with the same intensity and slowly fluttering her

eyes shut.

The starry sky behind them seemed to have turned into a mere backdrop.

After the kiss was over, Leanna leaned against his chest and inquired, "Did you visit this place three

years ago?"

Aidan held her hand, lowered his head, and gazed at the ring on her finger. A sense of satisfaction

filled his heart the longer he gazed at it, and he answered Leanna's question with a soft hum.

Alas, Leanna spoke up once more, "Didn't you hate me at that time? So, why did you visit this place?"

Aidan went silent momentarily before he parted his lips and said, "Why are you bringing up our past at

such a romantic time?"

With that, Leanna corrected him by saying, "I'm not bringing up receipts. I'm simply curious about the

reason that drove you to make a trip to this place when you clearly hated me back then."

Aidan once again fell into silence. Then, after a brief moment, he started, "I didn't really hate you that

badly."

Leanna didn't say anything to that, for she knew that he was telling the truth. Otherwise, he wouldn't

have brought me gifts every time he was away on a business trip during our turbulent relationship all

those years ago.

At that time, Aidan simply didn't know how to express himself. In addition, he thought that I was a

woman who would force him into marriage with a fake pregnancy and go to any lengths to achieve my

goal. I reflected on this matter and realized that I was also to blame for our terrible relationship in the

past.

Things would have turned out fine if I had actually stood up for myself and told him the truth. Alas, there

were only so many ifs in this world…

Then again… I wasn't aware of how complicated the family situation among the Pearsons was, and in

turn, I didn't realize that no one cared whether I was pregnant. Old Master Pearson merely needed a

pawn he could use to control Aidan. Likewise, I didn't know that Aidan assumed that I wasn't with child

because Sienna had removed all those who knew the truth.

As a result, the accumulation of all these factors eventually led to an unhappy marriage that lasted for

three years.

Just when Leanna was immersed in her thoughts, Aidan continued, "The first time I came across this

place, I thought I had to bring you here once in my life."
