It was the first time Monique had fallen in love. She had no prior experience. Although Levi claimed to have lots of girlfriends, the most he did was to drink with them. In other words, he was no less an amateur. As a result, conflict aroused on their very first day of dating.
The girl he was infatuated with was finally by his side. Levi wanted nothing more than to kiss her, hug her and do as he pleased.
However, Monique was quite old-fashioned. She was raised differently and had different values and perceptions. She preferred to take it slow. She couldn't tolerate sex before marriage.
Levi's ears perked up at the mention of marriage. Levi was flustered but he soon made up his mind. "Well, then let's get married. Let's do it right away."
After Monique returned to the ward, Levi tried to steal a kiss but to no avail. Instead, he was punched in the face. Alas, he expected to be a sweet, loving couple, but now he was feeling rather resentful!
He was her boyfriend, but he couldn't even kiss her.
To make matter worse, he couldn't fight back as he was a gentleman. In the end, Levi sighed, a pitiful look in his eyes. "You must compensate me for beating me just now."
Under his intense gaze, Monique sighed and explained in exasperation, "Levi, I have had a strict upbringing. Before I introduce you to my family, let's just behave ourselves."
Behave himself?
How could he suppress his desire?
He was a man, and the girl he was head over heels for was in front of him. He just wanted to kiss her, and she refused. Did she really regard him as an *sshole? "Monique, I am your boyfriend. I just wanted to kiss you and you have almost beaten me to a pulp. If I request any further, are you going to kill me?"
"Levi, if you are serious about this relationship, then wait a little longer. Once we get married, you have plenty of opportunities to do as you wish." Monique did not want to hit him. She had learnt martial arts since she was a kid. It was by instinct.
She had just mustered the courage to date him. They used to be comrades. She needed time to get used to their new relationship.
Levi's level of happiness rose to ecstatic at the thought of marrying her. This was because he was serious about their relationship. He had never been so serious about something before in his life.
However, his eagerness startled her. "Do you know what you're talking about?" Monique remarked.
"Yes, I do," he replied solemnly. It was rare for him to be so serious. "My uncle and aunt got engaged within a few days after they met each other for the first time. They are still in a happy relationship and love each other deeply. I believe that we would be happy together. We've known each other for more than a year. We have undergone so many things together and we have a clear understanding of each other. If that's the case, we have nothing to worry about."
"Levi, let me be frank with you. It's very easy to get married and divorce later on in life. It's a norm in the modern era. However, this is not the case for the Zellweger family. To us, marriage means forever. If you ever regret it in the future, my grandfather will definitely not let you leave in one piece." Monique used engagement as a random excuse a moment ago because she was embarrassed and did not want to tell the truth. To her chagrin, Levi wanted them to get engaged immediately. Hence, she could only spill the beans and hoped that he would not insist on the engagement.
"What does that have to do with me?" He had made up his mind. It might seem reckless, but he was serious. If he regretted it in the future, his family would be the first to kill him. Monique's grandfather wouldn't even have the chance.
