Chapter 319 The Proposal

Right now, Louis was at the table feeling anxious.

He wondered if thing might go better between them after what happened last night.

And he didn't know whether she liked the clothes he bought her yesterday or not. Even though he knew what size she was, he was afraid she might not like the style he chose. Then, he heard her footsteps. He looked up and saw Wanda walking down the stairs.

He was amazed at her looks. The pink sweater suited her just well and made her soft skin and pretty eyes pop.

And the black pencil pants showed the beautiful curves of her legs, which made her look delicate and lovely. Louis was completely stunned.

Seeing him staring at her silently, she asked insecurely, "What? Is there something wrong with my outfit?"

Louis finally came to his senses. He answered embarrassedly, "No. You look nice, really nice."

Wanda was a bit shy to see him like that. She felt something unbelievable growing in her heart.

Louis looked away and said, "Come and eat, Wanda."

Wanda nodded and went over.

It was a simple breakfast. There were some slices of sandwiches, two bowls of fruits and two glasses of milk on the table. It seemed like Louis lived a quite simple and healthy life.

Louis noticed that the breakfast might be too plain, so he said hastily, "I normally don't stay in this villa, so there's no housekeeper. I made these by myself and it's a little too simple. I hope it's ok." Wanda smiled, "Of course it's ok. I like simple breakfast."

Louis was finally relieved and nodded.

They were quite silent at the table. After a while, he began a conversation, "About that jerk, how do you wanna deal with him?"

Wanda froze. She lowered her head and took a bite of the sandwich.

"Let him go."

"Let him go?"

Louis was astonished.

Wanda sighed and said, "He comes from the Bissel family. They want a marriage between their family and ours. I don't wanna get into this. Normally, the Kawn family didn't give a crap about my parents and I. don't know why they chose me. But I won't compromise. As for Blake... he has already been arrested. It's their problem now. If the Bissel family want to bail him out, then it's no use for me to hold on to that." Louis looked gloomy and didn't say anything more. He just nodded and reply, "Ok then."

After breakfast, Louis drove her home.

On the way, they didn't communicate. Wanda sensed that something was strange with Louis. He was either frowning or clenching his fists. He seemed to hold something back.

Wanda was curious and asked, "Louis, is there something you wanna say to me?"

Though he was kind of awkward, he nodded and took a deep breath, "Don't worry about last night, that jerk can never lay a finger on you ever again."

Wanda laughed, "I know. After this, there's no chance I'm going to marry him. The Kawn family won't force me to get married with him and the Bissel family will have other plans for him. He won't dare to come near me again."

Louis nodded and added, "And don't go clubbing with that kind of guy. It's too dangerous for a young girl."

He couldn't imagine what would happen to her if he didn't happen to be in the parking lot.

Hearing that, Wanda lowered her head silently.

After a few seconds, she smiled, "I know. It won't happen again. Thank you."

Louis was stunned and then laugh shyly, "You're welcome and you don't need to thank me."

His words were magically comforting.

It was like he cast a love spell on her and her heart was racing ridiculously fast.

"Actually, I wanted to tell you something days ago but I was afraid that you didn't want to hear anything coming from me. So, I've been waiting for you not to be so mad at me anymore."

Wanda felt her heart was about to explode. She forced a smile and replied, "What was that? You can tell me now."

Louis took a sharp breath. It looked like he had made up his mind and he said, "Wanda, what happened that night was all my fault. The reason why I came to you last time was not simply because I wanna apologize but also I wanna..."

Wanda's heart was pounding loud and she asked, "You want what?"

"I was going to say that, if you don't mind, you may try accepting me and letting me take the responsibility. Please trust me that I will treat you well and never let anyone hurt you again. If you don't want to, then things like that night will never happen again. What do you think?"

After saying that, he was greatly relieved.

But Wanda was startled. She looked at him as if he said something unbelievable.

He seemed quite serious.

After a while, she asked, "Responsibility? What do you mean by that?"

"Will you marry me? Say yes and I'll immediately tell my parents. And I'll pick a date and ask your parents' permission."

Wanda was so shocked that she couldn't utter a single word.

Getting married?

Gee, she had never thought about this.

She did love him secretly and blame him for what happened that night. But then she gradually learned to accept the fact. But she had never thought about getting married at such an early age.

Wanda bowed her head and hesitated.

"Are you trying to be responsible for what happened between you and me?"

Hearing that, Louis automatically responded, "Yes, I can't let you deal with this all by yourself."

Wanda was stunned and her smile faded away.

So, this was what it was all about.

She thought...
