True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1913

His words were kind of meaningful. Leah didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that there was something off with Norval's words.

She narrowed her eyes sharply at Norval.

Norval's lips were curved into a playful smile. Yet the eyes hiding behind his glasses had sharpened as he stared at Leah unblinkingly.

"I don't need it," Leah said, "Just take your stepmother and leave. Don't bother me anymore."

Norval shrugged and said, "Auntie misses you very much, Leah. Don't be so rude."

Leah sneered. "You still call her Auntie? She has sacrificed for you throughout all these years for the Qualls family, yet you address her so formally? It seems like you don't think much of her."

"I'll refer to her as my mother soon, but it's not the right time. She's our mother." Norval smiled and said, "Leah, come back with me to the Qualls Family."

"Mr. Qualls, please put away your self-righteousness," Leah said in a low voice, "I want nothing to do with you guys."

Norval said, "Leah, why do you keep thinking that I mean you harm? I just like you. I want you to be my girlfriend and then my wife."

He finally admitted to it.

Leah sucked in a cold breath.

She narrowed her eyes. "Norval, stop joking around. I have a boyfriend. I don't want my boyfriend to misunderstand."

"Your boyfriend made you sad, didn't he? You went on a vacation yourself, so it's obvious that something's wrong with your relationship." Norval smiled and suggested, "Why don't I replace him?"

Leah frowned. "What gave you the idea that something was wrong?"

"Well, you argued with me and Auntie then left your boyfriend. It seems like your boyfriend is not very good to you, am I right?" Norval was sharp.

Leah was agitated by his words.

She looked at Norval and snapped, "This has nothing to do with you. There's no need for you to make things difficult for me and my boyfriend. You can go now."

Norval didn't want to leave. He stood there with a smile in his eyes as he looked at Leah. It was as if he was a child throwing a tantrum. He didn't care at all.

Leah looked at her watch. Three minutes had passed and there was no way Ernest would be able to make it in time.

However, she could leave by herself.

She stood up and prepared to go.

Norval said bluntly, "Auntie is in the car right now. If you leave now, she'll be able to see you."

Leah was stunned. She looked over at Norval, who was casually sitting there, with doubt in her eyes.

"Put away your misgivings. I'm telling the truth." Norval looked at Leah and said, "Actually, Leah, you don't have to be so sensitive. Let's chat for a bit. Give me five minutes."

Seeing how forthright Norval was being, Leah was also stunned. It seemed like Norval was not joking around. He was actually serious about the matter.

She pursed her lips and sat back down after some contemplation.

Norval smiled. "Good."

"I have nothing else to say to you," Leah said coldly. She picked up her cup of tea and took a sip. The hot tea in her mouth warmed her up a little.

"I came to you immediately because I wanted to tell you what my intentions were. I'm here because I want to marry you," Norval said in a deep voice.

Leah frowned as she looked at Norval with suspicion in her eyes.

She didn't know Norval at all. They seldom interacted, she rarely saw him. The last time they met was in high school. It had been many years since then.
