Chapter 945: Marriage Proposal 1
On Paula Rouco’s plate hit a chicken thigh.
Paula Rouco tossed the chicken thigh onto Severo Laris’ plate.
Severo Laris froze and looked at her, she was smiling childishly.
Severo Laris suddenly thinks of the time, seven years ago, when he went to the buffet to bring her lunch, also typing a chicken thigh and carrying it from the school dining room to the buffet, which was almost eaten by Rufio.
He told Rufio, protectively, that the chicken thigh was not for him, but for Severo.
Severo Laris smiled with a loving look and ate the chicken thigh instead of returning it to Paula Rouco’s plate.
She was very happy.
Severo Laris knew that this was her way of showing her love.
After dinner in the school dining hall, Severo Laris took Paula Rouco by the hand for an evening stroll around the campus.
The evening breeze is soothing and relaxing.
The sun sets at dusk, half red.
Not far away, in the couple’s garden, Severo Laris and Paula Rouco bump into an affectionate college couple.
Severo Laris has also kissed Paula Rouco countless times in this garden of lovers.
Severo Laris’ heart fluttered slightly as many couples entered and exited the lovers’ garden.
He paused in his stride, turned his eyes to the girl next to him and asked suddenly, “May I kiss you?”
Paula Rouco was slightly taken aback; he rarely asked her, usually kissed when he wanted to.
But the moment she looked up at him, Severo Laris’ clear, stunning face was close to her.
Thin lips, pressed against hers.
The throbbing of a kiss.
Paula Rouco unconsciously grabbed the fabric of his shirt around her waist with both hands.
After the kiss, Severo Laris looked at her with playful, dark eyes and saw her little ears blush slightly.
Paula Rouco opened her teary eyes and said, “I didn’t answer before.”
Severo Laris reached up and pulled her into his arms, his large hands brushing her slender back and smoothing the hair, “I can’t wait for your answer.”
And soft and commanding.
When we left the lovers’ garden, we met Eleena where the motorcycles were parked.
Eleena lifted her glasses again and again on the bridge of her nose, and when she approached, her face was filled with smiles and surprise as she realized that it really was Severo Laris and Paula Rouco.
“Severo Laris, Paula Rouco! It’s really you!”
Eleena Mantilla walks towards them with her briefcase clutched in her hand.
Severo Laris and Paula Rouco turned their heads to look behind them at the same time, both with joy.
Eleena smiled and said, “I thought I was mistaken a moment ago, but it’s really you guys!”
Severo Laris is no stranger to Eleena, having befriended her seven years ago when she was a student, and the two were mentors and friends.
A gentleman’s friendship is as light as water, this seven years though not much contact too often, but now they meet, is Yun Hu does not like.
Eleena reached out and hugged Severo Laris, patting and congratulating him, “You are the most brilliant student I ever had, Severo, and as your former teacher and even more as your friend, I am really happy for you!”
Severo Laris smiled slightly and said, “It’s been a long time, Ms. Eleena, how have you been all these years?”
Eleena: “Why, what’s wrong with me? I’m always teaching, it’s boring, but working with young college students has an advantage, it doesn’t get old easily!”
Paula Rouco said, “Ms. Eleena was already young looking.”
Eleena pointed to Paula Rouco with an affectionate look, “It’s Paula Rouco who can talk.”
Eleena stood in the background when she saw the two holding hands, “You … are you two together again?”.
The eyes are surprised and unexpected.
“I also met Paula Rouco at the last school festival, didn’t you say on that occasion…”
Severo Laris explained, “I was still chasing her during the school festival and now I’m going back to her.”
Eleena was delighted, “I’m very happy that they got together. When I heard that the girl from the English department had chased the number one at Imperial College, I was very impressed that they were a good match. ”
Thinking about the light afterwards, Eleena couldn’t help but sigh, “Only later … Hey, not to talk about old times, come to think of it it was probably fate, you guys went round and round and still got together, I’m really happy for you guys.”
Severo Laris smiled slightly, “We’re getting married soon and we’ll be sure to send the invitations to Ms. Eleena when the time comes. ”
Eleena’s eyes sparkled with joy, “Good, good, be sure to let me know when the time comes, you both have been my students and still went from campus to marriage, even with a seven year gap in between, you got together, I will henceforth tell my students about you two, and I think it will be a good story at Imperial University. ”
When Paula Rouco had an unexpected miscarriage, Eleena, as a professor in her class and a close friend of Severo Laris, felt guilty towards her.
But now, Severo Laris and Paula Rouco had finally worn out their frustrations and got back together.
Eleena was quite happy despite the many emotions in her heart.
One was her most promising and brilliant student, and the other was the one she had taught most of her life but was ashamed of, and it was Eleena’s joy and blessing that they were together.
…
Exiting Imperial College.
Paula Rouco sits at the bar in front of Severo Laris with a cool summer breeze on her cheeks.
She asked, “How come you didn’t know about our impending marriage?”
Severo Laris looked at her with a smile on his face, “And Paula Rouco will marry me?”.
Paula Rouco growled, “Kids don’t want to marry weird guys.”
“What if the weird uncle is handsome?”
“Very handsome weird uncle, or weird uncle, and kids aren’t dumb.”
Severo Laris was amused and good-humored as he looked down and kissed the top of his son’s hair.
All the way from Imperial College to the back streets is lined with snack vendors.
As she passed the kiosk, Paula Rouco’s eyes darted to the freezer in front of the kiosk.
“I want to eat ice cream.”
Severo Laris stops his car in front of the kiosk and asks Paula Rouco, “What ice cream would you like?”
Paula Rouco told the kiosker, “Ask for a green humor.”
The smile in the corner of Severo Laris’ eyes intensified a couple of times.
It was just like the ice cream he had eaten at the beginning, the Monarch’s green humor, and he even remembered the taste.
After buying the ice cream, Paula Rouco sat in her car and ate it while Severo Laris rode his bicycle.
Just as she was caught off guard, Severo Laris suddenly looked down and took a bite of the ice cream in her hand.
Paula Rouco: “You pay me for the ice cream, I didn’t let you eat it.”
Severo Laris held the bicycle faucet with one hand, took one hand out and rubbed her little head, smoothing her hair, “I’ll send you a cooler tomorrow.”
Paula Rouco: “Then you buy me another ice cream.”
“Why, don’t you like this?”
Paula Rouco held up the green humor in her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, “Severo Laris, this is green, will you send me green?”.
Severo Laris laughed out loud, with a smile that reached his eyes.
“How dare I turn Mrs. Laris green!”
Paula Rouco took a bite of the green humor in her hand.
Then, a cold breath was exhaled toward Severo Laris.
Severo Laris: “It’s cold.”
Paula Rouco: “Your jokes are cold, too.”

On the back street of Imperial College, Severo Laris bought Paula Rouco ice cream, strawberries and marshmallows on the way.
She ate the marshmallows in the most disastrous way, smearing her face and finally making a little ball with the marshmallows in her hand before stuffing them into her mouth with a vicious look on her face.
But Severo Laris thought it was charming.
It was amusing and heartbreaking to see her impatient to eat something.
Maybe it was because of the day’s game. After a bath, she lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep from exhaustion.
Severo Laris had just come in with a children’s book, ready to read her a bedtime story, when all he saw was her lying on her back, already fast asleep.
He went over to her, tucked her in, took her little hand that was exposed outside the sheets and was about to tuck her in when he felt her empty ring finger and rubbed it.
With such pretty fingers, it feels like something is missing if you don’t put something on.
Severo Laris got up with his phone and left the bedroom.
From his pocket he pulled out a small black velvet box which, once opened, contained a delicate woman’s ring.
The inner band of the ring, engraved with the words lita 情深. mo, is a pair of rings, this being the women’s ring, while the inner band of the men’s ring, engraved with lita 情深. shen.
The ring, which Severo Laris had prepared three years ago, was designed by a world-renowned jewelry designer, and the circle of tiny, delicate crushed diamonds on the woman’s ring was a diamond that Severo Laris had auctioned off at auction.
The designer who designed the rings at the time also mocked Severo Laris for his profligacy.
A flawless diamond worth a lot of money, but cut into countless broken diamonds to be set in a ring, is no different from a waste.
Because to the casual observer, a broken diamond is worthless.
He always wanted to give Paula Rouco the best and most unique thing in the world, even if it was a valuable diamond, and that it was a broken diamond for her to wear on her hand, was the honor of that expensive diamond, not the waste of Paula Rouco.
About her, Severo Laris never wonders if she is worth it.
As long as she likes it, it’s all worth it.
Severo Laris caressed the ring and called Rufio.
When the call came through, Severo Laris asked, “Are you and Susana free tomorrow?”.
Rufio: “Why, there might be something at work tomorrow.”
“I’m going to propose tomorrow, are you sure you’re not available?”
Rufio froze, “Oh shit, how can I not be available when Severo Laris proposes, I’m afraid this is a comet on earth! I’ll have to bring my family to see it!”
Severo Laris smiled seductively, “Remember to call Lastra.”
“How can we forget it as gossip. By the way, it’s not too much to see, shall we ask Engracia to accompany us?”
Severo Laris doesn’t shy away from it, “As you wish, it’s full.”
Rufio thought it was a fake Severo Laris on the other end of the phone, and since when does Severo Laris like to be funny?
…
On the second day at Imperial, Severo Laris took Paula Rouco to Imperial for the day to eat lots of good food.
At 8 p. m., after dinner, Paula Rouco wanted to go home.
Severo Laris was driving, but not the way home.
Looking out the car window at the viaduct crossing at night, Paula Rouco asked curiously, “Which way?”
Severo Laris did not reveal, but merely said, “I have a surprise for you, if you are sleepy, take a nap and I will call you when we reach our destination.”
Paula Rouco didn’t think much of it and lay down on the car seat and really slept for a while.
By the time she reached her destination, she was so sleep deprived that Severo Laris got out of the car first, grabbed a shawl from the back seat and wrapped it around Paula Rouco’s shoulders.
The night was a little cooler in the field.
Paula Rouco was pulled out of the car and asked, “Where is this?”
Severo Laris put his arm around her and headed for the amusement park, saying, “You like amusement parks best, let’s have a date at one.”
“…”
