True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1597

When Ernest came back, he saw that everything had already been bagged.

Ernest frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you to wait for me to pay when I get back? Why didn't you wait?"

"You can pay for the pecans in your hand, I won't take that away from you," Leah said with a smile.

Ernest had no choice but to put the nuts in the bag. He picked up all the bags from Leah, and together they walked out to their car. He refused to let her hold even a single bag.

As expected, the powers of a boyfriend were endless.

When they got to the car, Ernest briefly took a look at what was in the bags. Immediately, the box of condoms caught his eyes. He instantly blushed and subconsciously glanced towards Leah.

Leah did not return his gaze, she didn't seem to have noticed that he had seen what she bought.

Ernest's heart was beating fast. He never expected that this was the reason she wanted to prevent him from paying earlier.

"Does this girl know what she is doing?"

On the way back, Ernest focused on driving. He didn't look over at Leah. The entire time, he felt his face burning hot. It was as if a single glance from her and she would be able to tell that he was acting weirdly.

As expected, she noticed something was up. Leah observed him carefully for several minutes and realized that Ernest was avoiding her gaze and keeping silent the entire ride home.

Leah frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing's wrong with me," said Ernest hurriedly.

"Yes, there is. You've been acting weird ever since we got into the car. What's going on? Are you hiding something from me?" He had become so quiet, as if he was thinking about something. Leah was sure that there was something on his mind.

"I think you're the one who is hiding something from me!" Ernest accused back.

Leah had always been a very smart girl. Hearing this, she immediately had a realization. A cold shiver ran through her heart. Could he have discovered what she bought?

"No way, how could he have?"

"It can't be."

Leah looked at Ernest suspiciously and shook her head. Then, she smiled and replied, "I haven't hidden anything from you. If I did, it was only because I wanted to surprise you."

"It is indeed a big surprise," Ernest said with admiration. She trusted him so much that she was willing to give herself to him. That was indeed the biggest surprise he could ever imagine.

Hearing this, Leah felt a little embarrassed. Now she was sure that he had discovered what she had bought. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said so.

Leah's face blushed pink when she thought about the condoms she bought. "Oh well, if he saw it, he saw it. Anyway, I bought it for us to use. He was bound to see it sooner or later."

When she was together with Ernest, things always turned out unexpectedly, especially after they got together officially.

But, she didn't want to bring that up to him now, considering they were in the car.

Hence, she decided to just continue acting coy for the time being.

After that, Leah did not say another word. After parking the car downstairs, the two of them got ready to head up.

Leah was about to help carry the groceries, but Ernest said, "I'll handle it. You don't have to hold anything. You just need to open the door."

It was really rare to have such a considerate and strong boyfriend. Leah really had no complaints.

Leah smiled and said, "Just let me help you with the light ones."

"Be good, I don't need your help." Ernest smiled at her. "As long as I'm here, you'll never need to carry a thing."

"It's going to be very hard for me to leave you when you're so nice to me." Leah smiled shyly. Her heart was overflowing with happiness.

"That's the point. Even if you do leave me, I want to make sure you'll always miss me. You'll never be able to find a better boyfriend than me." Ernest seemed to have a sudden burst of confidence as he spoke.

Leah was stunned and burst into laughter. "You're right. You're so wonderful. It'll be very hard for me to find someone better."

More importantly, he made her heart flutter.

"Pass me a light one, I can't go empty-handed," Leah insisted.

Ernest passed her her own bag.

Leah was speechless.

"Let's go upstairs," said Ernest.

"All right."

Leah helped him close the car door and locked the car. Then, they headed over to their building together.

Ernest followed behind, carrying a lot of bags in his hand. At the staircase, they once again ran into Rowane.

To be exact, it was Rowane who stood in their way.

She was holding a bag in her hand, and she was staring at them from the steps. Once she saw them, she immediately broke out into a smile, as if very glad to see them. "Mr. Jones, Leah, you guys are back. Dad asked me to drop by to pass you some stuff."

Leah didn't even know what to say when she saw Rowane's sudden appearance again. She even brought something over this time, claiming that their father had asked her to come here. It was really the first time in history this has ever happened.

Leah had a feeling that that was just a lie. Rowane was definitely here just to stir up trouble again.

She obviously wanted to come check Ernest out.

Seeing how anxious she was, Ernest's appearance must make Rowane feel threatened somehow.
