Colby's gaze was so tender, it was hard to believe that the man once known for being heartless and cold could show such a gentle side.
Sophie blushed, whispering, "Didn't I already give you my answer?"
Colby knelt on one knee and snapped his fingers.
Right then, a little golden retriever came trotting over, its tail wagging. Sophie paused, surprised to see the pup with a red ribbon around its neck.
The golden retriever obediently sat next to Colby, its big, watery eyes fixed on Sophie. It wagged its tail and stuck out its pink tongue, staring at her like she was its owner.
Colby took the flowers and ring the golden retriever was carrying.
He had crafted an engagement ring for Sophie, with a giant diamond, even more dazzling than the one Sophie was already wearing.
Sophie gasped, "A ring?"
"An engagement ring."
Colby had watched many proposal videos recently, realizing they all included three key elements: flowers, a diamond ring, and the protagonist on one knee. These three were essential.
Colby earnestly said, "Whether it's a proposal, engagement, or wedding, it only happens once in a lifetime. So, every ceremony must be perfect. I won't let my wife miss out on anything."
Sophie couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Colby solemnly asked, "Sophie, will you marry me?"
Colby put Sophie down and gently touched the golden retriever's nose, saying, "I found it here when we were constructing the site. It was very small then, probably just born. This little fellow is quite perceptive, so I decided to keep it here."
"Perceptive, huh..."
Sophie also squatted down, preparing to pet the golden retriever when it cleverly moved closer to her hand, letting her touch its head.
Sophie was taken aback. For some reason, the golden retriever felt familiar to her.
Colby said, "It seems to like you a lot; looks like you two have a connection."
The golden retriever wagged its tail happily, licking Sophie's palm, and the next second, it snuggled into her arms, rubbing back and forth.
