Chapter 542 Just be with me

Martha lowered her eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

She couldn't even raise her eyes to look at Douglas, afraid that if she was not careful, she would no longer be able to hide it.

However, Douglas stood directly in front of her, lifted her chin with his hand, forced her to look at him, and said, "I'm still wrong. You don't actually like me."

No matter how she answered, whether she admitted it or not, she was about to face a huge pitfall.

Martha struggled to turn her face away, but Douglas squeezed her jaw even harder.

Douglas said, "Martha, you've come to this point. Do you think you can still fool me?"

As Martha heard this, she immediately decided not to care anymore.

She said, "What do you want? It's nothing more than two results. I know that I don't want it, so why do I make myself offered?"

When Douglas heard her say that, he immediately laughed angrily.

His eyes fell on Martha's face, and he didn't speak for a long time.

He really wanted to know what exactly Martha was thinking.

How could she always say such annoying things?

Douglas was really pissed off by Martha.

He used more force with his fingertips, and Martha let out a pained sound when he squeezed. Her eyes were all red when she looked at Douglas.

Douglas' heart softened instantly by her pitiful appearance.

He said, "Martha, you have so little confidence in yourself?"

Martha's eyes were already blurred. At this moment, she couldn't see Douglas' expression clearly. Even hearing his voice, she was buzzing, not sure if the voice she heard was real or not. Douglas didn't hear Martha's answer, so he said, "If you don't give me a response, I'll kiss you."

Martha was taken aback, and hadn't expected to hear Douglas say that at all.

Just as she was about to respond, she felt a shadow covering her.

Immediately afterwards, there was a soft touch on her lips.

Martha forgot to even breathe.

She widened her eyes, and the water droplets rolled down from her eyes.

Martha's hand was still held by Douglas. It curled up unconsciously, and the sudden force squeezed the wound on her finger, and it hurt instantly.

She whispered in pain, but Douglas swallowed her voice.

Fortunately, Douglas noticed Martha's strangeness, and immediately let go of Martha, looking down at her finger.

"What's wrong? Did it hurt you?" Douglas asked.

There was concern in his voice. And he was already examining Martha's finger carefully.

Martha finally found her own thoughts, and immediately said, "No, I made it myself."

Douglas said, "Don't be so nervous. I won't bully you."

Martha immediately retorted, "You were bullying me just now."

They hadn't been in the relationship but he kissed her first.

Douglas gave a low laugh and said, "I've asked for your opinion."

The question was asked, but he didn't wait for her answer, did he?

She frowned instantly, looked at Douglas, and said, "You're clearly messing around."

Douglas did not blush because of Martha's accusation, but said instead, "Don't you know? Men sometimes play tricks on purpose." There was really no way to refute it for Martha.

Douglas' mouth turned up, and his gaze became a little more gentle.

He looked at Martha, stroking Martha's lips with his fingertips.

He said, "Do you want to do it again?"

Martha's reaction this time was very swift. She immediately raised her hand to cover Douglas' mouth, and said, "Don't go too far."

Douglas sneered, took Martha's hand, and kissed her palm.

He said, "Okay, I will make it up in the future."

It was a little outrageous. What was going on now?

Martha looked at Douglas and said, "Mr. Torres, who are we doing like this?"

Douglas almost got angry by Martha's words.

He raised his hand and tapped on Martha's forehead, saying, "What do you think? Do you think I'm such a dirty and shameless person? Taking advantage of women casually?"

Martha shook her head. She knew this very well that Douglas was not a man who would take advantage of women. Otherwise, over the years, there were so many women coveting him. If he had this idea, he would have sunk into it. How could he wait until now?

What was more, she had been by his side for seven years. If he had this intention, it was impossible for her to stay until now.

However, Martha still couldn't help asking.

She looked at Douglas and said, "But you didn't give me a reasonable reason, and you just kissed me like this. You are still bullying me."

Douglas understood what Martha meant that she wanted an identity and a certainty.

This was inseparable from her carefulness in the past so many years.

Douglas was very distressed.

He held Martha's hand, kissed it and said, "I said I'll protect you from now on. They're not casual words. Martha, I just ask you, do you want to come to my side?" Martha understood what he meant.

Her heart was throbbing very much, but because of the past events, she couldn't believe it at all that what Douglas said to her at this moment was serious.

She looked at Douglas and finally asked, "You really don't care?"

She thought that no one would not really care about what happened to her.

Douglas didn't answer the question right away, but raised his hand to caress the top of Martha's head and said, "Can I hug you?"

Martha was startled, and looked at Douglas suspiciously, not understanding why he asked such a question suddenly.

Douglas was amused by her misty eyes.

He said, "Didn't you say that I bullied you?"

Martha was a little dumbfounded for a moment.

She looked at Douglas with amusement and said, "Isn't it a bit late for you to say that now?"

He had kissed her before, and now he was asking her opinion?

Douglas said, "What you mean is that I don't want to ask your opinion on what I want to do, do you?"

Martha frowned unconsciously.

Inexplicably, she found that she seemed to be completely a rookie when it came to this issue. Her previous intelligence was gone, and she was completely being defeated by Douglas. But obviously it shouldn't be like this.

Martha said, "If I say no, will you agree?"

"No." Douglas said, "Martha, I think you should be one of the people who know me best in the world. What do you think I'll answer this question?"

Martha can't say something about this answer.

It was like acquiescing to Douglas' behavior.

Martha looked at Douglas and said, "So, can I really think that way?"

She was still full of apprehension, not daring to think about such a beautiful thing.

Douglas didn't ask Martha's opinion any more, but directly took Martha into his arms.

He said, "Since you came to me without hesitation seven years ago, then be with me from now on."

Martha's body trembled, and tears gushed out instantly.

She never thought that she could really hear such words from Douglas' mouth.

She had always thought that in her life, she would probably be a shrewd and capable secretary by his side until he retired, which would be the best result. Witnessing him marrying and having children with her own eyes, she would hide herself and licked her wounds silently.

Or, it may not have taken that long at all, and the moment he had a girlfriend, she had already left because she couldn't bear so much heartache. However, all the things she imagined now did not happen. Instead, it was a possibility that she had least thought about, and it just happened. Martha couldn't control her tears at all. They just fell down like this.
