True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1467

Leah was flabbergasted. She would never have imagined that Ernest would ask her about the plot of her book.

For a moment, Leah tensed up, because it would be awkward.

After all, she'd used Ernest as reference for the appearance of her male lead.

"Well, you'll know once I've written it," she said indifferently and ducked her head.

"Could it be that you haven't thought about what to write next?" Ernest smiled and asked in a particularly sincere tone, "Would you like me to help you brainstorm, or maybe give you some suggestions as a reader?"

He'd asked it rather seriously. He looked at her with his inky black eyes, as if he was asking a very important question, and was serious when giving suggestions.

Leah looked at Ernest with doubt. She felt like Ernest's attitude was a little suspicious.

However, seeing that he was a reader, his enthusiasm was understandable.

Thus, Leah decided to listen carefully to Ernest's suggestions. Perhaps it could be of use to her work.

She nodded and said, "Okay then, tell me your suggestions. How do you want the story to play out?"

"I just think, since the female lead has strong feelings for the male lead, and she's been trying to find out if he feels the same way, why won't she just confess?" Ernest went straight for the book's romance.

Leah was a little surprised. She did not expect him to ask such a question.

Leah also couldn't help but to take a few more glances at Ernest, and he looked back at her as well.

Their eyes met, and they no longer felt the need to rush up the steps.

"Is this a difficult question to answer?" Ernest's dark eyes glinted faintly, as if there were a lot of emotions behind it.

Leah shook her head and then said, "It's not hard to answer. In fact, I just feel that the status quo is not bad anyway. Their relationship status is a little ambiguous, and a confession would be the most anticipated part. As for the female lead confessing, I've always felt like girls who confessed first are remarkably courageous."

"I think you're a courageous girl," Ernest said with a smile, staring at her with a gleam in his eyes.

"Me?" Leah laughed. "Thanks for the compliment, but this is about the female lead, not me. We're different."

"Don't you write a little bit of yourself into your characters?" He asked with a smile.

"Of course, I do." Leah smiled back at him and said, "However, realistically speaking, first I want the male lead to see how amazing the female lead is, and to confess to her. That way, the confession will be even more intense. Even if I let the female lead admit her feelings now, she needs to have a phase where she has a crush on him. Otherwise, if I rush it, wouldn't it seem like her feelings are too shallow?"

Ernest was baffled and nodded. He let out a long sigh and said, "Oh, so that's how it is."

Leah continued to explain, "You see, traditionally, girls who are reserved are more favorable. As for brave and courageous girls, although we admire them very much, it's still unusual for a girl to be the one going after the guy. It doesn't really line up with the traditional point of view."

"Well, do you know how Maria and Liam got together?" Ernest asked in response.

"No, I actually still don't know. Why don't you tell me about it?" Leah's love for gossip couldn't conceal itself.

Ernest smiled and said, "Maria was the one who took the initiative to confess, and to top it off, she was very persistent. In the end, she won over Liam's heart. If you want it to happen, you'll make it happen, and it doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman. I think affection comes easier to the one who's brave."

"Oh?" Leah raised her eyebrows in surprise. "What about you, Ernest? Are you a brave guy? Have you ever confessed first?"

Leah had easily thrown the question back to him. Ernest smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness. He let out another long sigh and shook his head. "No, I've never confessed to anyone. I'm not one to confess, so there's probably been a pile of wasted opportunities."

Leah was surprised. "Passive men like you really leave the authors no choice. Well then, I should probably start plotting for the female lead's confession."

She muttered to herself, but Ernest heard her words. He frowned slightly and said, "Why?"

"Are you going to make the female lead confess her feelings first? Didn't you say you wanted the male lead to confess? Why did you change your mind again?"

"That's because I'm someone who like doing good deeds, and I find what you said just now quite insightful. What if my male lead is a passive person like you, and it the female lead doesn't confess, these pea-brains are never going to be soulmates in an amorous relationship. How am I supposed to continue the story then?" Leah thought about it and couldn't help shaking her head at the terrifying thought.

Ernest frowned and gazed deeply at Leah.

"Let's go. If we continue to stall, we really won't be able to catch up with them," said Leah.

"Okay," Ernest said as he followed closely behind.

"Ernest, what made you want to read my books?" Leah looked at him and said, "Why don't you read some male- audience- catered books? Books written by women tend to be overly dramatic and delicate, and are mostly romances. It can be a little awkward for a male reader."

Ernest was stunned and chuckled. "Are you saying that its appeal is rather limited? Since it's good enough to be serialized, why can't I read it?"
