"Tomorrow..." Ralph was overjoyed. He was about to agree when he realized she would gain the upper hand if he did so right away, so he deliberately said prolongedly, "I'm afraid tomorrow..."
"Why? You can't make it tomorrow?"
"It's not that. It's just a little inconvenient. Tomorrow my house..."
Before he could say anything more, he heard her say, "Let's just forget about it."
Then, Before Ralph could suggest to change the date, Heather said, "I can find someone else."
Ralph immediately panicked as she was about to hang up. "Don't worry. I'm free tomorrow. I'm free!"
"You're free?"
"Yes, I'm free!" He said this while nodding constantly, afraid Heather would change her mind.
"Don't force yourself. Didn't you say it was inconvenient at home?" The voice was indifferent.
Sweat dripped down Ralph's forehead as he continued, "No, it's very convenient. How could it be inconvenient? I was joking with you. Look..."
He did not know why this woman was so capricious that he could not figure out what she wanted.
Before that, she was as gentle as water and Ralph could say anything. Instantly, she turned into a different person. Her attitude and way of speaking were different, which made him so scared!
"Don't joke with me in the future. I don't like joking," Heather said coldly.
"Uh... got it." He gulped. He was just about to ask if she had not liked it before. Then he heard her saying, "Since this is the case, it's settled. I'll go to your house at noon tomorrow to finalize the marriage."
"Yeah, good." Ralph could only answer, "Then do you want me to pick you up..."
Beep!
