New York, JFK Airport.

Mary dragged her luggage and walked out of the airport. Before she reached the taxi stop, she heard a familiar voice calling: "Mary!" She, she looked at him in surprise and said, "How do you know I'm coming back now?"

Zach, who was dressed in a silver-gray suit, reached out to take the suitcase in her hand, and said with a smile, "I guess."

"Liar, did you check my flight?" Mary laughed, and put her hand on his arm, "Thank you for coming to pick me up!"

"I'd be happier if you didn't say thank you!" Zach led her to the parking lot, "Mark is doing well?"

"Hmm!" Mary nodded. In fact, because of Steven, all the wounds on Mark's body have healed. Even if any doctor examines them, they will think that the wounds on his abdomen are old wounds. As for the wounds on his neck that Bucky pinched The swollen neck also seemed to be moistened by the remaining power of the medicine, and the swelling quickly subsided, leaving only the bruises left by the fingers.

"That's good!" Zac nodded, walked to a black Cadillac, let go of the suitcase, took out the car key, opened the passenger door, let Mary get in the car, and dragged her luggage slowly Walk to the back of the car and put it in the trunk.

Mary was sitting in the car, turned her head to look behind the car, the phone in her bag rang, she took out the phone, looked at it, and asked, "Hi, Dad."

Mark asked on the phone: "You're in New York!"

"Yes, I just got off the plane." Mary smiled slightly, "I didn't expect you to call me, usually my mother calls me."

"Oh, it might be more pleasant if I hit it once in a while, wouldn't it?" Mark laughed.

Just as Mary was about to speak, she heard Ashley complaining on the phone: "What surprise? Didn't you just want to hear Mary call your dad more? Really, give me the phone!" Hearing her say so Said, Mary couldn't help showing an amused expression, then, Mark seemed to cover the phone, said something in a low voice, the phone changed, and Ashley said, "Hey, honey, don't listen to Mark's nonsense!"

Mary smiled and said, "Well, yes, I know."

"As long as you arrive safely, don't forget to put the pizza in the refrigerator when you go back!" Ashley said worriedly, "Be sure to put it in the freezer!"

"Well, I know!" Mary watched Zach get into the car, he turned his head and glanced at himself, raised his eyebrows slightly, she pointed to the mobile phone next to her ear, and mouthed to tell him that she was talking to Ashley call.

Zach nodded, put on his seat belt and started the car.

Ashley continued there: "Also, remember to leave a copy for Steven."

"I see!" Mary agreed obediently. To be honest, she felt very helpless for Ashley's insistence on giving Steven a pizza as a thank you. After returning to New York, although she would continue to choose Captain America But after the Seattle incident, she had a different idea in her mind, so she didn't think she would have a chance to meet Steven even though he said they were friends.

Mary had another conversation with Ashley and Mark before ending the call. After putting down the phone, she saw Zach smiling, and couldn't help laughing too.

Zach turned to look at her and said softly, "They treat you very well."

Mary hummed, and looked at him, only to find a faint look of frustration in his eyes. She sighed in her heart, and reached out and patted the back of his hand gently.

Zach suddenly flipped his hand and took Mary's hand, wrapping her hand with the shift lever in his palm.

"Zach, it's not safe!" Mary wanted to withdraw her hand, but he held it firmly, "Drive hard!"

Zach said nothing, looked straight ahead and said calmly, "It's okay!"

Mary shook her head and twitched her hand again, "No, of course it's related!"

Hearing this, Zach let go of her hand suddenly without saying anything.

Mary touched her hand, looked at Zach, and asked hesitantly for a long time, "Are you all right? Zach."

Zach smiled slightly and said in a deep voice, "What can I do? Everything is over."

"What do you mean? Everything is over?" Mary looked at him suspiciously.

"Oh, not everything, exactly!" Zach glanced at her with an enigmatic smile.

Mary tilted her head to look at him and asked, "Hey, you didn't talk like this before."

"Gossip?" Zach chuckled, "This word is good, I like it. As you can see, I have prepared a mysterious gift for you."

"Mystery, gift?" Mary looked at him suspiciously, "Why did you prepare a gift for me? It seems that my birthday hasn't come yet, and your birthday isn't today, is it?" Besides, even if it's Zach's birthday, It's not that he prepared a gift for her.

Zach laughed silently.

"Hey, Zach!" Mary reached out and patted his arm. "Okay, tell me the answer!"

Zach shook his head, smiled and said, "When you wait, you will know!"

Mary looked at him, wondering what kind of medicine this guy was selling in his gourd, but since he said so, she stopped asking.

Ten minutes later, Zach drove the car slowly into a high-end residential area.

Mary looked at the clean road and the independent small villas with white walls and red tiles outside the window, showing a puzzled expression.

Zach drove the car to one of the small villas with cobblestone walls. He took out the remote control and pressed it, and the carved iron gate slowly opened.

Mary frowned slightly, and said puzzledly, "Whose house is this? Is it yours?"

Zac smiled and didn't answer. Instead, he parked the car at the entrance of the villa and pushed the door to get off.

Mary watched him walk past the car, walked around to the passenger door, and watched him smile as he opened the door for her. She asked, "Zach?"

Zac stretched out his hand towards her, with a gentle look in his eyes, he smiled and said, "Come down!"

Mary had no choice but to hold back the confusion in her heart, took his hand and got out of the car, and looked up, the outside of the three-story villa with a steeple was actually full of dazzling red flowers, in this cold winter in New York!She exclaimed: "How can this flower bloom so brilliantly?"

Zach closed the car door, stood beside her, and said with a slight smile, "Because, they know today is a good day."

Mary turned to look at him suddenly and said, "Not a bad day?" She thought for a while, "Is there anything you want to tell me today?"

Zach nodded, took her hand and walked towards the villa.

Mary actually wanted to pull out her hand, but Zac held it so tightly that she even felt a slight tide in his palm. She felt a little strange, and she was silently led by him into this flower-filled garden. In the small villa.

Zach pushed open the door and took Mary into the villa. He saw a spacious hall. In the middle of the hall was a classic-style brown wooden table with a bouquet of red roses on it.

The moment Mary saw the roses, she stopped abruptly.

Her sudden move made Zach, who was holding her, also stop. He turned his head to look at her, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mary's face was full of disbelief, and she looked at Zach without saying a word.

Zach smiled, he let go of her hand slowly, and said, "You guessed it!" After finishing speaking, he walked to the round table and picked up the bouquet of roses, took a deep breath, turned to face Mary, showing a slight smile With a nervous expression, he suddenly knelt down in front of her.

Mary took a step back in shock, looked at Zach who was kneeling on one knee, and said, "Zach!"

Zach looked at Mary calmly, with a faint smile on his face, took out a red velvet jewelry box from his pocket, stared at her seriously, and said, "I just said I would give you a mysterious gift, Now, I think you have guessed it." His Adam's apple rolled up and down, "I want to give you my whole life."

Mary stepped back, shaking her head slightly.

Zach looked at her and asked, "Mary, are you willing to accept? Are you willing to accept me?"

Mary looked back at him, bit her lip, and remained silent.

Zach looked at her silently, quietly waiting for her answer.

Mary didn't know how to answer. Facing his marriage proposal, she was touched for a moment, but...she covered her mouth with her hand, shook her head slowly after a long while, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Zha K, I..."

Zac's eyes were originally full of confidence and expectation, but when he saw Mary shaking his head and rejecting, he was shocked. He was shocked that Mary rejected his marriage proposal, and he couldn't help asking: "Why? Mary, why? ?Do not you love me?"

Mary sighed deeply and said, "Of course I love you, Zach, you have always been my family, growing up, you took good care of me and Julie, we all love you."

Zach looked at her with a hurt look on his face. He smiled softly and said, "Family? So, you don't love me."

Mary walked up to him slowly, knelt down, looked at him, reached out to cover the jewelry box for him, held his hands, and said, "No, it's because I love you, Zach, even though it's not what you want." That's why I want to reject you so clearly. I don't want you to be sad, but I never thought about it..." She said with difficulty: "Marry you."

Zach's eyes suddenly darkened, and he laughed at himself, saying, "Everything is my self-indulgence."

"Zack!" Mary saw the sadness in his eyes sadly. She knew that no matter what she said, she had already hurt him, but she had to refuse in this way to minimize the damage. "You will meet the girl you really love in the future. Really, I am not just comforting you casually. At that time, you will understand..." Your feelings for me are just the result of accumulating from childhood to adulthood.

Zach nodded with an unusually calm expression, and said, "I see." After speaking, he showed a faint smile at Mary.

Mary smiled back at him and said, "Trust me!"

Zach didn't answer, just held her hand, pulled Mary to stand up from the ground silently, and then said: "Although, you didn't accept me... But, these are all prepared for you, flowers, rings, and this A little house."

Mary shook her head with a smile and said, "I don't need it."

Zach ignored her words and continued: "I will keep it for you, if one day, you need it!"

Mary couldn't speak when she heard the words, she shook her head, turned around and left.

Zach silently stared at Mary walking out of the small villa, with turbulent emotions rolling deep in his dark eyes, he murmured: "One day, you will accept all of this, my Mary."
