Then Comes Spring When Winter Ends - Chapter 106 Decision

Crystal woke up only to see Tom by her side. He was staring at her the same way he always stared at her. She started crying and could not stop. “Why? Why do you care so much? I don’t deserve it.” she said.

“I don’t know, all I know is I’d give my life up for you. So please just accept me. Don’t push me away. I really love you. Be with me, alright?” He said while holding her hands. There is no reason for him to hide his feelings anymore.

“I never ever treated you nice, then why..” her words just trail off.

“Then just treat me nice in the future. Okay?” he said still trying to convince her.

He stared at her but she refused to look at him. Finally, she lifted her head up and she made up her mind. Soon after a glowing Jade and Derek entered. Their aura changed in an instant. Crystal was in awe just by observing their interactions and body language. She became more determined with her decision, she wanted what they have too. It’s time and it is not too late for her to have it too.

After a moment of silence, Crystal gripped Tom’s hand for strength and spoke. She never been this nervous before. “I want to apologise for all my wrong doings, I was misled but at the same time I was consumed with my own revenge plans that I fail to see that my methods are no better than those who had hurt me in the past. I know nothing I say or do could erase the harm I did and brought upon your family. Even with the punishment you sentenced on me was not even half the level of cruelty I brought upon your families.” she paused to take a deep breath.

“Now I just wished to be free of everything so that I can start anew with Tom. I don’t want to be part of any revenge plans any longer and if can I want to bury the past. I realised I have been wasting a lot of time and my youth all these years, now I want to focus on happiness. I wish to be granted pardon from your family. If death is the only way absolve my sins then please let him go. I am willing to die but please don’t implicate him.” she said resolutely.

Tom was shocked by her words. First he was happy that she accepted him but his happiness was short lived when she said she is willing to die for the two of them and he was touched she begged for his forgiveness on his behalf.”If she dies, let me accompany her, please.” he spoke without any hesitation.

Both Derek and Jade kept quiet to give some thoughts to Crystal’s words. Jade gave a light squeeze to Derek’s hand and released. He nodded his head in agreement and smiled at her lovingly. He then returned back to his icy stare and cold demeanour. “I will let the both you go on three conditions, first, write everything you know about Heather’s plans and also I want to know everything about her hideout place and whereabouts, the people around her and their level of expertise, basically anything about Heather, inside and outside, everything under the sun. Second, both of you will never betray me or my family and friends, you should opt to die willingly than betray us if there comes such a day. Third, go live your life to the fullest. I will provide both of you makeovers and new identities. If at any point, I hear the two of you revert back to your old habits, I will make sure that death is the only option.”

Tom and Crystal were in total disbelief. Their supposedly enemy is not only willing to let them go but also help them. They thanked the couple and quickly embrace each other. Jade updated April and Chris regarding the current situation and they both gave their blessings to the two. After a total makeover and receiving their new identities, Tom and Crystal heads out to start a new beginning, a new chapter of their lives. Crystal refused to remove the scars on her face as a reminder of her evil past.

Adam had been busy for his last minute proposal. This time, it is going to be an intimate event between just the two of them. April had already called him with good news that her proposal had been accepted and the project will begin in two weeks times and she had secure a post in the company. He could hear the laughter and the joy in her voice.

He told her to meet him at the rooftop for a candle light dinner to celebrate her success. He had only 3 hours to prepare everything. Jade helped him out with the flowers, she told the hidden guards to collect 3 bouquets of roses and bags of rose petals and candles. The same guard was made to deliver the flowers. Adam was super grateful ignoring the guard irritated look. She wished Adam the best of luck.

April came home to a nervous Adam. He told her to freshen up and he quickly made a quick dash to the rooftop for the final touches. Jade instructed two hidden guards to lend hidden helping hands to Adam. Adam escorted April upstairs to the rooftop. His heart could barely calm down. He snapped his fingers and a row of candle lighted up creating a pathway for them to the table. Rose petals were scattered on the table. With another snap of the finger, music started to takeover the quiet atmosphere. Before dinner is served, he presented her with three yellow roses. She was delighted and thanked him with a kiss.

He snapped his finger again and they were served with a 4 – coursed meal. He invited her to dance after dinner and suddenly, he got down on his knee and presented her with another bouquet, this time is 9 lavender coloured roses. “April Lu, will you marry me, I promised to be good and never stray and would love you for the rest of my life.”

April stood there stunned, finally nod her head and said yes. Lastly, he presented her with another bouquet of hundred red roses. April could not hold back her curiosity.” Why the different number and colours of roses?”
