Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1651

Lucy was rather amused. "Even so, it doesn't mean anything."

"But we have known each other for two years. Don't you have any feelings for me?"

Lucy didn't quite get it and asked, "What do you mean?"

After some thinking, Stuart said, "I never thought about this before thinking about marriage. Don't mind if I show you."

Stuart bent down and lifted his pant leg, revealing a long scar on his leg.

Caught by surprise, Lucy's eyes found Stuart's face. "What happened to your leg?"

"I met with a car accident a few years back and nearly followed the grim reaper, landing myself paralyzed from the waist down. But Mr. Jepherson wasn't willing to give up on me, and later I was given a chance to stand back up again."

"But even so, my body still bears the permanent pain and scars. Although I've undergone reconstructive surgery, it will never be how it used to look." "A person like me is not the most ideal partner for many people." "That's why I hope the person I will marry can accept these."

Lucy looked at Stuart and said, "What I don't understand is if you're doing this for yourself or Mr. Jepherson?"

"I believe in his judgment and my feelings."

Lucy didn't know what to say to that.

She had maxed out on her response.

After a long time, she said, "You like me?"

"I do."

Lucy didn't know what to think of it.

Blushing, she turned away, and silence filled the atmosphere. Seeing that Stuart didn't say anything, she spoke up, "I'll sleep on it first."

"You do that."

Stuart agreed. It was when Lucy was far away that he returned to the car.

Jepherson had already gone to bed by the time Stuart returned. Hearing a rap on the door, Jepherson answered it, asking in lieu of a greeting, "How did it go?"

"She agreed to consider it."

"Happy with her?"

Jepherson asked bluntly, but Stuart didn't answer.

Although Raeleigh was on the verge of falling asleep, she heard their conversation clearly; Stuart didn't answer.

Jepherson invited Stuart in, who then entered.

Jepherson walked to his desk and gave Stuart a document, saying, "She didn't like to be close to boys growing up, nor has she dated anybody even in high school and college."

"Someone pursued her when she was doing her master's degree, but she turned him down."

In other words, she knows to protect herself and cares for her reputation."

"A person who has a high regard for herself would definitely spend the rest of her life with someone who loves her."

"If you don't have anyone you like as of yet, you can give it a try with her."

"But of course, I respect your decision."

Stuart accepted the document and glanced at it. "She agreed to consider, but she didn't give me her yes on the spot."

"So you're willing to give this a chance?"

Jepherson stared at Stuart, his gaze fathomless. After a while, Stuart said, "I don't dislike her. If she's one of our company's employees, I'm glad that it's her."

Amused, Jepherson suggested, "Would you be able to bed her within a month?"

Jepherson's words got Stuart floored; even Raeleigh shot her eyes open. How ridiculous!

"We're not married yet." Stuart didn't want to take things so quickly.

Jepherson smirked. "You and me both."

Stuart looked at Raeleigh on the bed with her back to him and thought for a moment. "I'll try."

"No, not 'I'll try'. If you're not up for it, scratch the whole idea."

Stuart then fell silent.

"I understand," he said after a while.

"Good."

Stuart was about to leave when Jepherson said, "One more thing."
