True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1778

"Then, let me ask you something," Leah put on a serious expression. She inhaled deeply and then asked, "What do we need to talk about? Can't you be honest with me?"

She was still agitated from being puzzled by his actions.

She was weak against him.

It took much effort for her to finally toughen herself up, yet the moment he claimed that she was his woman, her defense against him was again crushed.

She was a little embarrassed and annoyed at herself.

She didn't even dare to look at him through the phone screen. She didn't want herself to keep staring at him.

She calmed herself down and mustered the courage to face Ernest.

This was the same man whom she took much effort to move on from. He was also the one who made her a hypocrite.

"We have yet to finish the stuff you bought in

London. I don't plan to take these measures with someone else. Since we bought them together, they belong to only us too. We should finish them up. This is what I wanted to say," Ernest said word by word as he stared right into Leah's eyes.

Hearing this, Leah gulped and her cheeks turned red.

She held her phone tightly and began to walk quickly.

The background got a lot dimmer. She was already standing at an intersection across from the pub.

She was stifled in her heart. She felt like she had been teased by the guy she liked.

Did he find this amusing?

Ernest said with a smile, "I'll treat your silence as acknowledging what I said then. It seems to me that you are happy to finish them up with me too. If that's the case, I'll bring them back with me soon."

"Ernest, you're way over the line."

Leah was shocked. She stared at her phone with her mouth agape. She could still see his face from her screen, yet he looked much more shameless than before.

Was that still the same Ernest she knew?

Was he still as elegant and quiet as before?

Why was he acting more shameless than a rogue?

"I'm only like this with you." Ernest replied in a low voice.

His gaze was mixed with various emotions as he asked, "Leah, can you unblock my number now?"

Ernest's tone was much gentler this time.

He whispered to Leah over the phone, "You should get back soon and unblock my number. I'll send you a video call request through my phone. Don't hang up now. At least wait until you get in a cab. Is that okay?"

"No." Leah refused directly.

She was about to cry.

It was the first time she was treated this gently.

She had been waiting for this for a long time. She even got a little impatient.

That was why she felt like crying.
