King's Awakening

Sayon, Jones Group.

“What? Auntie, you really told my brother?” Sherry Jones’s fading blush surged back, her face so embarrassed that it was almost dripping with discomfort.

At this moment, Sherry felt as if there were ten thousand little deer living in her heart, dashing wildly around, while her face flushed with a hot sensation.

Seeing Sherry’s shy appearance, Mori Jones chuckled, unable to resist commenting, “Don’t worry about it. I’ve arranged everything. I didn’t inform White Mitchell. All I did was help you invite him out.

What comes next depends entirely on your performance. Sometimes, it’s not a bad thing for girls to take the initiative, is it?”

As she kept talking, Mori broke into more chuckles. Her laughter had something secretive about it.

In reality, she had planned everything with White Mitchell in advance. He was in charge of setting the scene while she carried the responsibility of bringing Sherry there.

Of course, she did not disclose to White Mitchell that Sherry intended to propose to him.

Well, it would be better to let the young couple themselves decide about everything.

Anyway, as both were planning to propose to each other, why not create a mutual proposal environment?

Just the thought of witnessing the upcoming happiness of the young couple made Mori feel rather excited, filled with an irresistible sense of anticipation.

After listening to Mori Jones’s comments, Sherry spent the entire afternoon a little nervously.

When quitting time came, Sherry took Mori to the mall next to the company, picked out a new dress for herself, and reapplied her exquisite makeup.

The white dress fit Sherry perfectly, as if it had been tailored specifically for her.

Once dressed, Sherry looked timidly at Mori and asked, “Auntie, is this outfit okay? Is it too plain? Will my brother…”

At this moment, Sherry seemed somewhat unconfident, even a little cautious, resembling the nervousness of a bride-to-be.

Mori Jones just smiled softly at her, reassuring her, “Our Sherry is naturally beautiful. That scoundrel White Mitchell is the lucky one.”

Sherry’s cheeks flushed instantly upon hearing this.

As a woman, Mori Jones couldn’t help but admire Sherry’s appearance, exclaiming, “Sherry’s figure is really amazing. White Mitchell is the fortunate one.”

Meanwhile, White Mitchell, the other protagonist of the upcoming proposal, had already arrived at the location and set everything up.

The proposed site was an old locust tree by the River Arch.

This place held many fond memories for him and Sherry. They had once pledged their love here but also experienced parting ways here.

Now, he hoped that this old locust tree would continue to bear witness to their love.

As time passed, nightfall swiftly drew near.

White Mitchell turns on the lights decorating the old locust tree. In a blink, the entire tree was illuminated, reflecting the star-filled night, a sight to behold.

Right at that moment, Sherry arrived at the scene.

The moment she got out of the car, she stood still, her gaze unblinkingly fixed on the old locust tree not far away and the handsome young man standing beneath it.

There had been numerous times when such a scene played in her mind.

However, when it finally happened right before her eyes, Sherry was inevitably moved.

All the past events seemed to flash through her mind like a flipbook.

She still remembered how, six years ago, she had wept the entire night under this old locust tree as White Mitchell had gotten engaged to Grandy Anderson.

She remembered how she cried bitterly under this same old locust tree five years ago when she heard that White Mitchell was imprisoned.

She also remembered…

As Sherry Jones was lost in her memories, not too far away, White Mitchell looked into his pocket and gingerly pulled out a lollipop.

Seeing this lollipop, worth only a single dollar, Sherry’s emotions could no longer be contained. Tears of gratitude poured forth like a breached dam.

Yes, she remembered. She recalled promising that young man that if he ever held a lollipop in his hand, she would follow him without hesitation, no matter where he was headed. She would always be right by his side.

This lollipop was like the key to their love; when the key appeared, the tightly shut door in her heart would completely open.

The next moment, Sherry Jones tiptoed and rushed towards White Mitchell without any hesitation.

White Mitchell, in turn, opened his arms wide and held her close when she ran into his embrace.

The couple stood under the splendid old locust tree, tightly holding each other, a tableau as beautiful as a painting.

At this time, Kylin, who was initially hiding in the dark, slowly helped Wen Zhihui appear at the scene.

Mori Jones also came over. They looked at each other and all smiled quietly as if by tacit understanding, none of them spoke. They just watched the embracing couple, their faces had happy smiles.

After what seemed like forever, White Mitchell slowly let go of Sherry and pulled out a quaint ring from his pocket. He knelt on one knee.

“Sherry, will you marry me? Will you give me the chance to take care of you all my life?” White Mitchell said seriously.

Sherry Jones covered her mouth, still sobbing uncontrollably. She felt extremely joyful: “Brother, you lied to me. You and Mori deceived me…”

The tears of happiness slowly fell from Sherry’s eyes. Nevertheless, she slowly extended her left hand.

White Mitchell, holding that ancient ring, slowly slipped it onto Sherry’s finger.

This was the Phoenix ring from the Dragon and Phoenix pair of rings — a unique piece in the entire Dragon Realm. It was a token given to him when the Dragon Realm Elder’s Council appointed him as the Supreme Military Lord.

The Dragon and Phoenix rings symbolized not only a treasure but also the ultimate power bestowed upon White Mitchell by the Dragon Realm Elder’s Council!

With the Dragon ring, you can command the Dragon Realm War Department’s millions of brave soldiers.

With the Phoenix ring, you can receive the Dragon Realm War Department’s protection your whole life – akin to an ancient death exemption token.

From the moment White Mitchell received the Dragon and Phoenix rings, he determined to give the Phoenix ring to Sherry Jones. Whether she marries or not, he would protect her for her entire life.

Fortunately, the girl who vowed eternal love with him that year didn’t go far. She stayed right there, waiting for him all along.

For the rest of his life, White Mitchell would stay by her side, accompany her to watch the tide rise and fall, and the changing of the clouds.

Sherry, who was now wearing the Phoenix ring, was in tears. All those years of waiting seemed worthwhile at this moment. Little did she know, more touching moments were still to come.

At this time, White Mitchell stood up again, once more pulling Sherry Jones into his arms and kissed her passionately.

At this moment, time seemed to stop. The hustle and bustle of the city, the gazes of others, they all seemed less important. The couple was simply immersed in their own happiness.

Upon seeing this, the faces of Wen Zhihui and others were filled with blessings, genuine heartfelt blessings.

However, a harsh voice shattered the peaceful moment.

Old Madam Jones appeared, leaning on her walking stick and scolded in a huff: “I don’t agree! You two cannot be together! White Mitchell is nothing but a foundling picked up by our Jones Family. What right does he have to marry my Jones’ daughter!?

I am the head of the Jones Family. Without my permission, Sherry is not allowed to marry anyone else!

The only son-in-law I recognize is Hans Weiden! If Sherry is going to marry, she can only marry Hans Weiden!!!”
