True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1783

Leah frowned. She then replied with a text message, "I don't trust you anymore."

Maria replied, "I really didn't mean it."

Then, she added, "Fine, I admit I did do it on purpose. I wanted to fix your relationship. I think you two shouldn't end like this. Leah, please don't stay mad at me."

Leah hesitated for a while and finally decided to call Maria.

It was a voice call. She didn't want to put it on video as she wasn't sure if Ernest was there with Maria.

Her heart was still in a mess. She was afraid that she would lose control of herself and say things that she didn't mean to say.

Maria answered the call almost right away. "Leah, I'm so sorry. I'm really sorry about this."

"It's fine. I can't even tell if you did the right thing or not," Leah said.

Maria immediately caught the sign in Leah's words. Was she about to forgive Ernest?

"Are you forgiving Ernest? Please get back together already. He really likes you a lot. I don't know what went wrong. He thought you'd trust him, yet you thought that he likes Celeste instead," Maria said.

"He does like Celeste. He didn't deny it either. We heard what they said, didn't we?"

Hearing Leah's words, Maria was startled for a while too. She was still a little upset to recall the fact that Liam liked Celeste.

But she quickly pulled herself together and said to Leah, "I know how you feel. I really do. However, we don't really have a choice, do we? If we love them this much, can't we just leave some things behind us? He likes you now, and he's looking for you now. Can't you forgive him?"

"Don't make it sound so serious. I do like him, but I don't want to think too lowly of myself. If he doesn't love me as much, all of my efforts will only be in vain. I can only try if he does like me," Leah explained.

"He does. I can prove it," Maria immediately shouted.

Leah did not reply.

She was asking herself, would she try things out if that was the case?

"Leah, to be honest, Ernest noticed the problem between you two, too. Why don't you unblock his number so that you can talk things out together?" Maria voiced out for Ernest once gain.

Leah gave a wry smile and looked at the motionless turtle in the box. She was a little absent-minded.

"Leah? Say something." Maria felt anxious when she didn't get any response.

Leah came to her senses and said, "Maria, I won't unblock his number for now."

Maria was a little taken aback.

Then, she suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are you playing hard to get?"

Leah shook her head. "No, I'm not thinking that much, nor am I scheming that much. I just want to calm down. I don't want to act on impulse anymore."

Especially after seeing what happened to Rowane and Hogan that night, she felt like she should restrain herself a little more.

She was aiming to become a lawyer.

A lawyer had to stay rational.

"Does that mean that you are still blocking him?" Maria asked.

"No, Maria. It isn't about that. The problem between me and Ernest is whether he loves me or not." Leah's mind was clearer at that moment.

"You don't have to worry about this. He knows what to do."

"He knows?" Maria was confused again. "Why do I think otherwise?"

"If he doesn't know, then it proves that he doesn't love me enough," Leah said.

Maria was even more confused.

Leah said, "I'm being honest with you. I love him a lot. I will feel it if he loves me enough or not too. I want to be with him, but not when I know he doesn't love me that much."

She was serious about this. Maria could tell.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Alright then. I know what to do now. I'll respect your decision."

"Thank you." Leah said.

"You're welcome," Maria laughed. "By the way, we'll be back in a few days."

Leah was startled.

"Ernest didn't want to go back at first. I told him you might start seeing someone else, then only he agreed to go back with me," Maria said. She didn't hide this from Leah.

Leah stared blankly, "So, you're saying that he didn't want to come back in the first place?"

"Don't get me wrong," Maria was afraid that Leah would misunderstand, she immediately explained.

"He probably doesn't know what to do. He was all tensed up when he saw you with another guy. Didn't he look even more attractive when he was acting all possessive over you?"

Leah thought for a moment and said, "Yes, indeed."

That moment, he was firm, cool and handsome. It was heart-fluttering.
