True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1816

"Don't play dumb," Ernest smiled faintly and said, "You won't be able to run away from this even if you play dumb, I won't allow it."

Leah was a little embarrassed. She looked at Ernest and said with a smile, "Well, no, it's just a joke. In fact, you know, sometimes jokes between girls could be wild."

"I don't think it's a wild joke, I think what's wild would be you. Are you really suppressing your true self?" Ernest thought about the time when he first met Leah. She was always so bold with words. However, it really did look like she didn't dare say those things anymore then.

He felt that she was actually suppressed.

Leah looked at Ernest and smiled, even though her heart was thumping, "No, I just think that I should be a better version of myself if I am in a relationship with you. That's why I thought I should be a gentler lady."

"Is that so?" From Ernest's tone, it was clear that he did not believe Leah.

Leah pouted, she looked at him sheepishly and nodded. "Yes, especially since you have always been so elegant and gentle. If I showed my vulgar side, wouldn't it look like I am unworthy of you?"

"Who told you that I am an elegant and gentle person?" Ernest replied. He thought that it was simply unbelievable that he was being described in that way.

He did not quite like that.

"I saw it myself," Leah said, "I saw it with my own yes. You have good manners, self-restraint, good personality and character, gentleness, and handsomeness. You have so many plus points. How could I be a burden to you and lower your standards?"

"Haha." Ernest suddenly laughed. He moved closer to Leah.

Leah was shocked. She looked at Ernest and felt a little embarrassed. "What... what's wrong? Don't come so close to me."

She would get nervous easily.

As soon as his handsome face approached her, Leah felt uneasy all over, as if she could feel her body perspiring right away and she was really nervous.

She could not bear such a dominant Ernest.

Even her legs would weaken.

Ernest smiled. "So what if I am close to you?"

He would not retreat. He looked at Leah from a close distance. The breath he exhaled wafted on her lips, and it made Leah feel very shy.

Her body tightened and she looked at Ernest with her eyes full of shyness.

She just continued to look at Ernest that way, and at the same time she was embarrassed to stare at him for too long.

At this moment, Ernest smiled and said, "Aren't you going to say something?"

"No, I... I..." Leah was nervous, she could not find an excuse. There was a moment where she even stuttered, and she looked extremely cute.

Ernest smiled faintly again and said, "So, you were suppressing your true nature, weren't you?"

Leah widened her eyes in shock.

Ernest smiled once more. "It doesn't matter. It's not a bad thing to suppress your nature. I think you can show your true self, just like the first time. We were not familiar with each other. You asked me a lot of explicit things, and you even asked me if I would have wet dreams. How you were then gave me a different impression of you, which was memorable."

A normal girl would definitely not be able to do that, but Leah could.

It was also because of that, Ernest had a special impression of her. He was shocked by her too.

To be honest, as her boyfriend, he still preferred to see the bolder side of Leah.

That was especially at times when it was necessary.

It was probably what a lot of other men had in mind and would want too.

In the end, he was still just a normal man too, and there were times when he wanted to be surprised.

Leah did not know what to say, and she could only look at Ernest with a flushed face. He actually liked her a lot back in those days.

Back then, she spoke like a lunatic.

Leah was also thinking about what Lydia meant in the phone call earlier. Would he like her if she didn't suppress her true wild side?

She was still wondering in her mind, but Ernest spoke once more, "Why are you so quiet? What's on your mind?"

Leah sighed and shook her head. "I'm not thinking about anything. I'm just a little surprised. How could you say that? It feels unbelievable."

"Is it really great to suppress yourself?" Ernest refuted back at her with what Lydia said. "You are not being yourself right now, are you? I will reflect on my actions and feel guilty. Why did I make you act the way you are acting now?" "No." Leah immediately denied. "I am not suppressing myself. I just think we have some misunderstandings."

"What misunderstandings?" Ernest asked. "I don't think it's a misunderstanding."

"You really know a lot about how someone would feel while they suppress themselves, but I don't feel that way. I just feel, well, embarrassed."

"Isn't that the same? Why do you have to feel embarrassed when you're with me?" Ernest was still very close to Leah. The two of them were facing each other.

When they were in such a close distance, Leah could see the fine hairs on Ernest's face. They were so delicate, and even more so than a woman's.

Her heart was fluttering. When she looked at his face, she would feel dizzy too.

It was all because he was all too handsome.

"I'm not embarrassed." Leah immediately turned around and tried to escape from his charm.

However, the next second, Ernest reached out and grabbed the back of her head. He then turned her head to face him with a gentle pull.

Ernest looked at her and blinked. "What? Why

don't you dare look at me?"
