Chapter 62
Like the last episode of the reasoning TV series, after listening to Aaron's words and reading the note in her hand, Yolanda finally understood the ending of the story.
She had always thought that she was an outsider, but she didn't know that she was the heroine in the story.
The dark sky in the distance seemed to have color again.
Stunned, Yolanda stood in the middle of the noisy crowd, listening to the sound fading away. She was immersed in the silent world alone, digesting everything she suddenly knew.
It turned out that this note was not only the beginning of the story that Yolanda had thought of but also Aaron's.
It turned out that he had been thinking of her.
It turned out that they had been destined at the very beginning.
The perfume that Ms. Twelve suddenly didn't want, Phoebe's strange behaviors, Charlie putting on the makeup she wore a year ago, the familiar layout of the rooftop, and the party where celebrities gathered...
They were all Aaron's deliberate arrangement.
He wanted to completely restore the night a year ago, and let both of them walk the same way that night again.
Trying to suppress her feelings, Yolanda asked, "you said it wasn't a surprise tonight. Then what is it?"
Aaron thought for a long time and said, "it's the beginning."
Let everything start again here.
They didn't have ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends.
From the beginning to the end, from the first time they saw each other, there were only them.
The night wind gently blew away Yolanda's long hair. She held the note in her hand as if she was holding onto Aaron's deep love for her.
The symphony was melodious again, and the fragrance of flowers instantly filled the entire rooftop.
The flowing wind, the melodious music, the wine glass, and the crowd all became witnesses of the complex relationship between Yolanda and Aaron.
They met, missed, and got together in another way.
Now they finally stood together and started a new life.
Many years later, Yolanda had asked Aaron, "What if that note was given to you by another woman?"
Aaron told her, "the story won't start at all."
He was amazed by her at first glance, and then he liked her more and more and unconditionally compromised.
It was because it was her.
If it weren't for her, every part of the story wouldn't fit perfectly.
It was because of her that he was willing to write the ending with her.
This rooftop cocktail party, which was comparable to a small award ceremony, was also on the hot search that night.
Because of the arrival of many celebrities, the impact of Yolanda had been re-evaluated, and overnight she had become the most beautiful woman in the entertainment circle.
And "The Moment in Love" also swept another wave of heat because of this party.
In the eyes of the public, the label of this movie had changed from "Mr. Cullen's hard work of three years", "the most potential urban IP adaptation", to "the celebrities in the entertainment circle recommend", and "the most expected movie".
During the shooting of the movie, Yolanda had become even more popular than the main character. All the media wanted to secretly take pictures of the all-around top star behind her.
In the first few months, she had been busy with the promotion of the movie, so she had to attend some social engagements.
Sometimes when she met someone in private, it would be reported as the headline and regarded as her boyfriend.
During that period, many people were suspected to be Yolanda's boyfriend. Some of them were popular idols, some were the middle-aged best actors, and even some old artists with good moral and artistic taste.
The netizens were crazy.
Who on earth was Yolanda's boyfriend? It became the biggest mystery in the entertainment circle.
The netizens were gossiping happily on the Internet. They didn't know that every time a suspicious person appeared on the Internet, Yolanda would pay the price in front of Aaron.
Finally, ten months passed. After the film was made, it finally came to the release date.
The movie was displayed on Valentine's day.
On the day before Valentine's day, the whole Internet was as lively as the new year.
"For the first time in my life, it's like chasing a soap opera. The end is finally coming!"
"I want to see the movie and box office. I want to know their relationship!"
"All of you, fight! Today we must find the man who has seduced us for almost a year!"
"Is this year's Valentine's day a festival of gossip?"
"Congratulations to the fans of the man!"
When she woke up in the morning, Yolanda couldn't help laughing when she saw such comments.
She turned over and lazily leaned on Aaron. "Mr. Jensen, I'll expose you if the movie is successful tonight. Are you nervous?"
Aaron closed his eyes and ignored her childish question.
"If you are afraid, I can find someone to replace you," she added.
After a pause, she blinked and said, "there are two or three top stars under Pisces Studio."
Three months ago, Yolanda had signed a batch of actors and actresses. The company was developing rapidly.
And she had gradually become an independent investor in this circle. In the past ten months, she had signed three IP files by herself. She was still working hard on developing games and animations.
"Why don't you say anything?" She pinched Aaron's face and said, "why aren't you excited at all?"
Finally, under her constant harassment and threat, the man responded.
But he was not afraid of being threatened.
"Weren't you tired enough last night?"
She didn't realize the danger, and she asked, "what?"
"You are very energetic now, aren't you?"
Upon hearing this, Yolanda knew what he was going to do. But before she could respond, she had already lost her initiative.
Aaron quickly rushed forward, and a heavy force came. Stunned, Yolanda smiled and pushed him away,
"Stop it."
"I'm warning you. Today is the day to introduce you to everyone. If you don't behave well, I will continue to hide you!"
Aaron kissed her earlobe and said, "okay."
"I will behave well."
Aaron performed for one hour and three minutes.
In the early morning, Yolanda was tired.
When she was about to reach the climax, she heard the man bury his head deep in her neck and say, "if it's over 100 million, I have something to tell you."
"What?"
Aaron didn't say anything more. He just kissed her on the cheek and said, "get ready to introduce me."
The reason why Aaron was so sure was that it was imperative for her to make their relationship public.
The box office of "The Moment" reached 93 million the day before Valentine's day.
Yolanda also understood that in addition to her own efforts, Aaron had helped her a lot in this achievement.
In the past ten months, the one who wanted to make their relationship public more than the netizens was none other than Aaron.
He had been driven crazy by those fake boyfriends.
On the first day of the movie, everyone was waiting for the announcement of Yolanda.
As the biggest investor in the movie, Yolanda specially booked a whole theater of Capital, inviting a lot of film actors, investors, stars, and media to watch the premiere on the spot.
Aaron also came, but he sat quietly off the stage and didn't accept any interview.
Others were used to his coldness. They thought he was invited by Dan Cullen, so they didn't think too much.
At midnight, all the cinemas in Capital were noisy with people coming and going.
"Are you here for one hundred million?"
"Yes, I have to wait for a result today. I've been waiting for almost a year."
And the media were also well prepared. They had prepared posts for almost everyone that had been suspected in the past year.
As soon as Yolanda announced it, they would immediately post it and compete for the exclusive news.
Under everyone's expectation, at midnight, "The Moment in Love" was officially displayed.
The gossip netizens updated the box office data in real-time, waiting for one hundred million.
However, Yolanda, who was attending the premiere, didn't know that.
She sat in the cinema and watched the movie she had made for more than a year, just like a child she had given birth to. Today she finally saw its birth.
In the process of watching the movie, the audience was happy with the plot. They burst into laughter, and in the end, they were also moved to tears.
One and half hours later, the movie ended. The lights in the hall were on, and almost all of the audience applauded from the bottom of their hearts.
They had thought it was a commercial love movie but didn't expect it to be full of sincerity. With laughter and tears, people felt much.
The host had arranged for Yolanda, the director, and the actors to go up to the stage to express their gratitude and speech.
A film producer commented on the movie, and Yolanda also participated in the discussion. Just as everyone was listening to the comments carefully, a reporter behind them suddenly reminded them, "Excuse me."
"Miss. Watler, the box office was more than 100 million a minute ago!"
All of a sudden, the crowd, who were still discussing the prospect of domestic movies, raised their cameras and aimed them at Yolanda.
The moment of expectation finally came. Everyone's eagerness was written on their faces as if they were not willing to wait any longer.
"Miss Walter, it's over 100 million. It's time to announce your relationship."
Yolanda had thought about the scene many times, but she didn't expect it to come so soon and so suddenly.
Even the premiere was not over yet.
But she had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
The light in the cinema was dim, and the person she loved was off the stage.
At this moment, he was also looking at her.
Yolanda withdrew her gaze and cleared her throat. "Okay."
She was coming!
At this exciting moment, several high-definition cameras were aimed at her, waiting for her to speak.
The biggest mystery in the entertainment circle was finally about to be solved.
Facing a group of black machines, Yolanda smiled helplessly.
Taking a deep breath, she raised her head and said seriously and gently,
"In fact, I have thought about a lot of ways to introduce him, but in the end, I found that no matter how many languages are used to introduce him, it would be troublesome. He is a direct person."
"He likes to be direct and express everything with actions."
"So today, I want to use my action to tell everyone who he is."
"Before that, I want to thank him for his support and encouragement all the way. Without his silent efforts, there won't be today's "The Moment", and there won't be Pisces Studio."
"Thank you."
"I love you."
Yolanda said slowly to the camera. Although Aaron looked expressionless, only Yolanda could understand the waves in his eyes.
The netizens in the live stream room went crazy.
"Tell me, who is it?"
"It sounds that the man has been willing to work for Yolanda for a long time."
"I'm a little moved. So who is it? Tell me, I'm going to cry."
"Even if it's my idol, I'll accept it."
The reporters on the spot couldn't wait to know the answer.
"Miss Walter, how are you going to introduce him to everyone with actions?"
Upon hearing this, Yolanda slowly stood up.
She glanced at Aaron and quickly looked away. "He's here."
"What?"
Today, there were two or three male artists who were invited.
Subconsciously, the reporters began to assign the cameras to the male artists, but when they were ready to wait for Yolanda to announce her name at any time, she suddenly walked off the stage.
In the middle of the first row.
She stood in front of Aaron.
At this moment, she was no longer the decisive investor, Miss Walter.
At this moment, all she wanted to do was to be the baby of his palm.
She stretched out her hand and asked him like a spoiled child,
"Do you want to hug me?"
"Here."
The reporters and netizens were all stunned. "What?"
Before everyone could react, they saw a smile on the lips of the man who had always been ruthless in the highest position of the entertainment circle. Then he stood up and held the woman in front of him in his arms.
Everyone was stunned. There was at least more than 10 seconds of silence on the scene. After a long time, the reporters turned the position one after another and aimed the camera at the two people in arms.
Crazy!
They had thought that the man was a top male artist, but they didn't expect him to be the biggest investor in the entertainment circle.
No wonder Yolanda said that he was so popular!
The media had prepared countless top news drafts, but they never thought that this boyfriend would be the biggest boss behind the scenes.
The netizens were also stunned.
"I'm a fool. What's going on?"
"He is really the big boss."
"I'm sorry. Please take care of my idol in the future."
"Damn it! Do you really think that Aaron doesn't have any fans? I love Mr. Jensen!"
"Friends, I found the picture of Mr. Jensen's top search last time. I zoomed it in and out. Guess what I saw?"
"Yes, it's her!"
"Thinking of what Yolanda said before and what she said today in front of us, they love each other so much."
"I'm jealous!"
"Me too!"
Tonight was an exciting night.
Aaron and Yolanda had no time to listen to those voices.
After the world returned to silence, they came to the top floor of the cinema hand in hand.
It took Aaron a long time to find such a place with the same style as the rooftop in Woder Plaza.
Although it was the same, it was empty tonight.
It was just a rooftop.
There was nothing but a bench and several huge billboards.
Looking around, Yolanda was a little disappointed.
This morning, he told her that he had something to tell her.
It seemed that she thought too much.
She tightened her grip on the pocket of her outer pocket and stuffed the thing in it a little deeper.
"Yolanda," Aaron suddenly called her.
"What?" Yolanda stopped fantasizing and raised her head. "What's wrong?"
"Have a seat."
Then she sat down on the bench.
Sitting next to her, Aaron looked at her and said, "do you know why I brought you here?"
"I don't know." Glancing around, she asked, "don't you have something to tell me? What?"
Aaron lowered his head and said slowly after a while,
"In fact, I wanted to tell you this last time at the rooftop of Woder Plaza. But I couldn't make my identity public that night, so I had been waiting."
"Waiting for today."
"When you admit me in front of so many people."
She had a vague feeling that Aaron was going to do something, but she wasn't so sure.
Her heart beat faster and faster. "What do you mean?"
Their eyes met. Aaron looked at her with his dark eyes. There was no indifference in his eyes, only endless tenderness.
After a while, he said calmly,
"Marry me."
It never occurred to her that Aaron would say what she had been expecting so many times.
Her heart beat faster, but she hid the sadness in the corner of her eyes with laughter. "Are you proposing to me?"
"Yes."
Glancing around, she asked, "right here?"
"Here."
In fact, Yolanda had long thought that Aaron was introverted and indifferent, so he wouldn't plan a romantic proposal ceremony as other men did.
She had been mentally prepared for this, so she wasn't disappointed at all.
However, he was straightforward, Yolanda didn't want to say yes.
She had to torture him for a while.
She pretended not to care, "are you too stingy to buy a bunch of flowers for a proposal?"
Aaron paused and asked, "Will you marry me as long as I have flowers?"
Glancing at him, Yolanda said, "it's useless if you go to buy it now."
Aaron chuckled, picked up his phone, and pressed something. Within a minute, Lewis and several people came over from the entrance.
With a bouquet of red roses wrapped in paper in his hand, Lewis handed it to Yolanda and said, "Miss Walter, this is for you."
Then Yolanda looked back at the persons who came in with Lewis, holding different flowers of different sizes in their hands. Within five minutes, the entire rooftop was decorated with flowers.
The fragrance filled the air.
She didn't expect that this man would play cat and mouse when he proposed.
She would like to see how capable he was.
Holding the flowers in her hands, Yolanda said disapprovingly, "don't you think the atmosphere of the proposal is a little bad?"
"What kind of atmosphere do you want?"
"Should we play some music?"
"I think so," replied Aaron.
Just as Yolanda was about to refuse the live broadcast, she heard the sound of cello and piano.
She was stunned. She looked in the direction of the voice and found that the place which was blocked by some advertising boards on the side of the rooftop was slowly moved away.
On the stage, the violinist was on the left and the one who played the piano was on the right.
She recognized that they were Peter and his wife.
The melody they were playing was called "Love's Greeting", which was written to his wife by a composer to express his love.
Around the rooftop, soft bands of light also lit up with the melody, one by one, like stars falling beside.
At this time, Aaron's voice also fell, "will you marry me?"
Regaining her composure from the soft music, Yolanda opened her mouth in confusion. "Are you serious?"
"I'm not kidding." Aaron looked at her with his deep eyes full of passion. "How can I make fun of this?"
All of a sudden, Yolanda's heart skipped a beat. She was nervous and excited.
The flowers in her hands and the music behind her...
Soon, Yolanda realized that Aaron's proposal was well prepared.
He might have made all the preparations within his ability.
As long as Yolanda spoke, he would show her what she wanted and give her a perfect proposal.
Not sure whether it was true or not, Yolanda looked at the dark sky in the distance and said tentatively, "Mr. Webster put a lot of beautiful fireworks in his proposal to Charlotte."
The implication was that she also wanted that.
Aaron didn't say anything and gave Lewis a look.
"No. 2, get ready. You can start now." Lewis ordered.
Before Yolanda could react, the sky not far away suddenly became radiant. Countless fireworks rose into the air, spun and changed, and finally froze in the shape of "marry me".
The whole city was as bright as light.
Yolanda was dumbfounded.
It was true! It was true...
She looked at Aaron in disbelief. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but found that she could not say anything.
It seemed that all the words were so mediocre and pale under the fireworks all over the sky at this moment.
A colorful light flashed across her face. She admitted that she was moved. She asked Aaron softly, "do you really know what I'm thinking?"
Aaron turned to look at her and replied affirmatively, "of course."
After looking at each other for a moment, she pointed at the shopping mall across the street and said, "I want the light there to be on. I want you to say you love me on the top. I want everyone in Capital to know that you are proposing to me tonight."
As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for Aaron's order, Lewis immediately said, "No. 6, prepare. All the buildings will play at the same time. The words 1 and 3 will roll for ten minutes."
Half a minute later, Yolanda saw something incredible.
All the office buildings and shopping malls, as long as there were LED screens, began to roll the words "Yolanda Walter, I love you" and "Marry me" almost at the same time.
She felt both ashamed and excited.
There were still others on the rooftop. In a hurry, Yolanda said to Lewis, "it's okay. Turn it off. I saw it."
However, Aaron said, "ten minutes."
After a pause, he said, "it's what you want."
At first, Yolanda wanted to see if Aaron was a man of foresight and knew what she was thinking and what she would like.
She really didn't expect that he would prepare such a surprise.
At this time, Aaron came over again. He asked in a low and bewitching voice, "are you willing to marry me?"
The words on the LED screens made her blush and her heart beat faster. But the man was so bossy that he didn't want to let them stop. She was ashamed. "Don't you think it's a pity that our parents aren't around on such a big day as proposing?"
Hearing this, Aaron smiled, "I think so."
Then he turned around and said, "that's why I invited them here."
It was not until then that Yolanda realized that Elbert, Olivia, Marc, Aaron's parents, as well as Ms. Twelve and Ms. Jensen had come.
Startled, Yolanda stood up and stammered, "Dad, mom, brother, you..."
The two mothers spoke one after another.
Olivia said, "Yolanda, say yes."
Lynn said, "Aaron, kneel down on one knee for Yolanda. Hurry up."
Mary also said, "Yura, Aaron has been waiting for this day for a long time. You'd better be together and I can have a great-grandson."
Ms. Twelve said, "Yura, please say yes. I should go to bed at twelve o'clock. I'm working overtime."
Her own family, and Aaron's family all stood here to witness their important moment.
Tears welled up in her eyes. She looked at Aaron in surrender and asked, "how much have you prepared?"
"A lot."
"I've prepared everything you might like."
"As long as you want, it will be our memory at this moment."
Trying to hold back the tears in her eyes, she said, "so you know everything I want, don't you?"
Aaron looked at her calmly and said, "yes."
"Even if there is something I don't know, I will try my best to follow your steps to understand and know."
"Because I hope that I have prepared everything for you every time you speak."
Tears welled up in her eyes and blurred her vision. "Can I test you again?"
After saying that, she couldn't help laughing. "I'm sorry. Did I do something wrong?"
"You are the examiner tonight," said Aaron, gently rubbing her head. "You can test me and do whatever you want."
Upon hearing this, Yolanda burst into laughter.
After a while, she wiped her tears with the back of her hand and reached out hand.
She raised her palm and made a gesture of asking for something.
This was her test for him.
She asked Aaron for something but didn't say what it was.
The night wind blew between the two of them slowly. After a long time, when Yolanda thought that Aaron couldn't guess her mind this time, Aaron slowly took out something from the inner pocket of his suit.
He handed it to her and asked, "do you want this?"
The little blue mud man.
It was a gift for Aaron from Sela Bridge when Yolanda first came back to Darlington.
At that time, she wanted to buy a brother and a sister, but in the end, she accidentally bought a couple.
Brother and sister were meant to be together.
Seeing that Aaron could even guess what she was thinking, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Why do you know everything?"
Aaron wiped her tears and said, "because I love you."
"Because I want to see you every day when I open my eyes, because I want to have you by my side every night, because I want to remember you in my life."
Upon hearing this, Yolanda covered Aaron's mouth with her hand and said, "shut up."
She tried her best to restrain her emotions, fearing that she would cry until her makeup was ruined before putting on the ring. She took the initiative to ask, "where is the ring? Don't you have a ring when you propose?"
After a few seconds of silence, Aaron suddenly said, "in your hand, in my heart."
At first, Yolanda didn't understand what his words meant. After a few seconds of reflection, she seemed to understand something and looked down at the little mud man in her hand.
In her hand, in his heart.
Yolanda's heart raced uncontrollably. She rubbed the little mud man's heart and pushed it away with her fingertips. Sure enough, she found a crystal and exquisite diamond ring in it.
The moment she saw the ring, tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Aaron just thought she was too excited. He patted her back and held her face,
"Don't cry."
"Look at me, Yolanda."
Sobbing, she raised her head.
Aaron took the ring from her hand, slowly knelt on one knee, and said solemnly,
"Yolanda, marry me."
But she covered her face with her hands, and cried for a long time, as if she couldn't speak anymore. Tears welled up in her eyes.
Finally, she took out a pink mud man from her pocket and handed it to Aaron.
She sobbed and said the same words,
"In your hand, in my heart."
Aaron was slightly stunned.
For a moment, he seemed to understand what she meant. He searched for the girl's heart and removed the mud slowly.
It was a note.
There was a note hidden in it.
Aaron pulled it out and spread it over his palm.
There were words in the delicate handwriting.
That was her answer.
"I do!"
They had been together for so long, and it wasn't just that Aaron knew everything about Yolanda.
They had been the most familiar companions in each other's lives for a long time.
Yolanda had gotten everything ready long ago.
She wanted to tell Aaron in this way that the biggest secret she had hidden in her heart was to become his bride one day.
Tonight, they finally got what they wanted.
The night wind was warm, and the people in love were hugging and kissing warmly. The strong love was floating on the rooftop, melting, and floating to every corner of the city.
This is our moment.
Forever.
