Isabella, who was sober, seemed to have forgotten what happened the night before, and Caroline didn't take it too seriously.After all, there are still several tasks to be busy.

She and Ms. Green never procrastinate about work, and neither does Isabella.

So after the cooperation was decided, the new company was established soon.

Caroline and Isabella named the new company C&M in accordance with the current habit, that is, Corey Mibo.

At the same time, they also began to deploy the first batch of clothing in the spring of next year after the establishment of the company.

Because of the follow-up response brought by Isabella's design products at the member auction, they named the first series of the brand launched "Elves".

In addition to supplying this series of clothes at the special member activities of Meisi, it will also provide certain limited customization for customers of Meisi department store.

Ms. Green specially introduced Isabella and the clothing company she invested in at the tea party not long after the last membership event.

Although not all customers are optimistic about this "designer" who "returned from studying abroad in France", through the proof of her own strength and works, the voice of expectation and praise for Isabella is enough to make her temporarily stand in the industry. Keep your feet on the ground.

"This is a good start. One day, our clothing will be liked by more people and have greater influence."

……

This Christmas holiday, Caroline also returned to the small town of Columbia, her hometown in this world, together with her sister Minnie for the first time.

Their father is old, but still in good health, and the children who stay in the small town are living a good life.

Speaking of it, Minnie and Caroline, sisters who work outside the home, do not have a deep relationship with their relatives who have not seen each other for many years. Caroline even has no memories of her "hometown". has been watered down.

But only Caroline knew that this trip back home was not just about visiting relatives.

For her, this also means that she has enough courage and confidence to open a new chapter in her life.

On the second day after returning to Chicago, Caroline received an invitation to have dinner with everyone at the old house of Corey's family as scheduled.

"I know you look beautiful when you dress up casually, but today we should dress up more seriously." Isabella took the initiative to help Caroline pick up the clothes this day, and insisted on helping her comb the most popular hairstyle nowadays.

Caroline looked at her very positive friend and blinked her eyes knowingly.Then he handed over his head-to-toe outfit to Isabella with confidence.

Francis did not pick up the two girls today.

He was shutting himself in the room alone at the moment, rehearsing those few words that he had rehearsed countless times in front of the mirror.

Obviously, he was already very familiar with getting along with Caroline on weekdays, but before such a moment, he still couldn't help feeling nervous.

"There's nothing to worry about, trust yourself, Caroline will agree." A voice came from behind him.

"I know, I just don't want to say anything wrong." Francis said to himself.

"Wait, Andrew, why are you here?!" Francis realized that it was his uncle talking to him just now.

"I just want to tell you that the girls' carriage has arrived downstairs." Andrew stroked his beard and shrugged his shoulders.

Hearing this, Francis hurriedly rearranged his clothes and bow tie in front of the full-length mirror, and followed Andrew downstairs to meet him.

"Dinner starts at eight o'clock, and Andrew specially invited a chef today." Francis said while leading the girls to the living room.

The living room was very different from the last time Caroline came.

The decoration is completely new, and there are flowers embellished that rarely appear in Corley's old house, bringing a touch of color to the monotonous room in winter.

"Dear Caroline, I thought Franz might have something to say to you, didn't he?"

Isabella gave Francis a meaningful glance, then smiled expectantly at the two of them, and left the room alone, closing the door of the living room behind her.

Only Caroline and Francis were left in the room.

"Caroline", Francis lowered his head slightly, looked at the gray-blue under the girl's slender eyelashes, and called out her name.

In these short syllables, between the opening and closing of the young man's upper and lower jaws, Caroline seemed to have heard his long-standing feelings for her.

Caroline looked at Francis, who was watching her nervously, and already guessed what he was going to do next.

She is not surprised.

In other words, she had been waiting for this day for a long time.

From meeting and acquaintance, to realizing that Francis, who was still a boy at the time, liked her ignorantly;

From getting along little by little, careful temptation, to two people being honest with each other about their views, growing together and supporting each other.

This person is different and worthy of her love and trust.

Under the light, his eyes shone like fireflies, as if at this moment, she was his whole world.

Such eyes made Caroline unable to look away.

So, Caroline held Francis' left hand with her right hand, put the other hand gently on his shoulder, slowly tiptoed, and kissed his warm brown eyes.

"Franz, are you willing to get engaged to me? To spend the rest of your life with me?" Caroline looked at Francis's face close at hand, and asked solemnly.

"I do...of course I do",

Francis seems to have not reacted yet, but intuition has replaced thinking and helped him answer the answer in his heart.

"Sorry, I brought it up first."

Caroline's hand was still clasped with Francis'.

She knew that Francis should have waited and prepared for this marriage proposal for a long time, and also knew that according to the custom, she should wait quietly for him to ask that sentence before releasing all the excitement in her heart and saying "I would like to .”

But the atmosphere just now was so suitable, Caroline didn't know why she said the words of marriage proposal out of nowhere.

That's okay though, her lover seems more excited than she is and doesn't really care too much.

"Yes, and the ring",

Francis let go, took out a ring inlaid with sapphires from his pocket in a hurry, and then took Caroline's hand again.

He seemed to have returned to the time when the two had just confessed their feelings. He carefully put the ring on Caroline's slender finger, and then realized that he should say it to his lover again,

"Caroline, will you marry me?"

"Yes I do."

—Because it is you, my Franz.
