My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1467

At such a critical moment, Vanessa went back on her word.

Julien reached out instinctively and grabbed Vanessa's hand, trying to stop her from leaving. He asked with a somber face, "Vanessa, do you know what you are talking about?"

Vanessa did not know how to answer him.

Both of them were at the register office to get married, but this was their first ever physical contact that day. Vanessa looked at Julien's hand which was grabbing her wrist tightly. He was holding onto her so tightly that it felt like he was afraid that she would run away.

Vanessa understood the look in Julien's eyes, but she chose to ignore it. She took a deep breath and smiled at him. "I'm sorry, Julien! I really can't marry you now."

Julien continued to hold onto her hand tightly and gritted his teeth as he asked, "Why not?"

Vanessa smiled and tried to pretend like she didn't care about it. However, she couldn't do it. As she laughed, she began to burst into tears. "Don't ask me, I don't want to talk about it."

That was the part of her life that she never wanted to recall. It was the darkest day of her life. How could she tell the man she loved that she was defiled by another man and even given birth to that man's child?

No man would be able to accept it. Even if he could accept it now, it would definitely become a ticking time bomb, and would easily detonate in the future!

Vanessa was afraid that Julien would look at her disdainful look after finding out the truth. She was afraid that Julien would break up with her. She had too many fears, so she chose to hide this secret deep down in her heart, so that Julien would never find out about it.

Julien clenched his fists and tried to control his emotions. However, he, who had always been calm, would always lose control whenever he was with her. He said, "Vanessa, do you know that if we don't get married today, you will lose everything you have gotten immediately?"

She knew!

Of course she knew!

However, she didn't want to lie to him like this. She didn't want him to find out that she was already a mother after they had gotten married.

Vanessa was crying but started to laugh, "Julien, I want to marry you, but I don't want to marry you like this."

She said that she wanted to marry him, but not like this.

Julien thought that he had heard it wrongly, so he asked, "What did you just say? Say it again."

Vanessa added, "I said I want to marry you, but I don't want to marry you like this. I don't want to marry you because of a deal. Please give me some more time. Once I have the courage to tell you everything and you can accept the truth too, then we'll think about getting married."

So was Julien. He did not want a transactional marriage too. He was just afraid that she would leave him again, so he thought of keeping her by his side through such means. He did not care if Vanessa loved him now, as long as he could make her stay by his side, he believed that she would eventually fall for him.

Vanessa wiped her tears away and said, "Julien, can you do that for me? Can you please give me a little more time?"

Julien asked, "How long do you need?"

In fact, he had already given her a year's time. A year ago, he had already thought of kidnapping her to the register office to get married! However, he wanted her to accept his marriage proposal willingly... He wanted to hear her say 'I do¹.

However, even though he had been waiting for a year, things did not turn out the way he wanted. Instead, their relationship became even worse. In front of her, he could no longer stay calm. He had become a man who would easily go into rage because of every word that she had said to him.

Vanessa didn't know how long it would take for her to get out of the shadow of the past, so she answered, "I don't know."

Vanessa's reply made Julien, who had just seen a glimmer of hope, sink into despair once again. "You don't know?"

Vanessa wiped her tears and tried to put on a smile. "It could be a month or two, maybe years, a few decades, or even a lifetime..."

Julien could tell that Vanessa was not lying to him. As he listened to her, he could also notice the helplessness in her eyes. "Well, even if you want me to wait for you for a lifetime, I'm willing to do that."
