Daniel lowered his head and pressed his lips over hers while holding his phone near his ear.
It wasn"t until he got through to Nicole that he released Janet from his kiss. "Nicole, I"m coming to pick you up, " he said.
But Nicole replied in a low voice, "No, thanks. I will go home later."
"Nicole, be careful what you do, and before you do it, think it twice!" said Daniel. He lay on one side of the bed beside Janet, holding her with his free arm.
He was also thinking that only Sven and Nicole were staying in the apartment that evening, just like Jane and himself were. It wasn"t that simple!
"... Um, okay, I see. Go to bed early, " said Nicole. After uttering these words, Nicole hung up the phone.
At that moment, she had been in a pa.s.sive state, whilst Sven, who seemed to be a little tipsy from all the booze he had drunk, kissed her wildly.
"Sven, you"re drunk. Let me go!" said Nicole. She pushed Sven away, who was pressing on her body.
Sven then immediately looked up at her, and said, "I"m sober as a priest on Sunday. Nicole, listen, I"ll allow you to go back to America tomorrow, and I"ll also give you... a month at most to make your decision, at most. You"ll then change your workplace and come back here, and if you don"t want to work in C Country, you can also choose to work in A Country. After all, Chuck has a hospital there, where I can work."
At present, Sven didn"t have any plans to further his career abroad, but if Nicole liked America so much, he would consider moving and working there for her.
"Um... I understand, " said Nicole. She again tried to push him away.
Sven got off her, turned over, and then tightly held her in his arms. "Now, I want you to become my woman, " he said. However, he still had to ask her if she also wanted it, because it was not an insignificant matter after all...
Nicole glanced at Sven, who had now closed his eyes. In fact, if Sven had ever forced her to do it tonight, she would"ve refused him straight away.
But now, he endured the pain, and asked of her opinion on the matter...
"I don"t trust you, " softly whispered Nicole. She was being held tightly in his arms.
They had met many times before, but they had seldom talked to one another, and Nicole had never paid any close attention to Sven.
But this time, all happened in a sudden. It felt strange, because now Nicole seemed to not be disgusted with Sven when he got closer to her...
Her ex-boyfriend had been in a relationship with her for four years, but he had eventually cheated on her because he couldn"t stand her fuddy-duddy ideas any longer...
"Nicole, both father and mother* are keeping an eye on you, and if I just want to flirt or sleep with a
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with s.e.x. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. "As long as I"m alive, I"m still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women...
lt embarra.s.sed to see him the morning after.
He believed that what he thought was correct.
He then called his mother and father. "Mother, please get yourselves ready. I"m going to Nicole"s house to propose her for marriage."
He found a more formal suit in his wardrobe and laid it out on his bed. When he saw by chance the splashes of red drops on his bed sheet, he raised the corners of his lips up with satisfaction.
"Ah?" Daisy, who was then drinking a cup of soy milk, suddenly spit it out, making her look the least elegant at the breakfast table.
Chuck immediately pa.s.sed her a tissue and helped her wipe the soy milk stains off her; he then asked a servant to bring another breakfast on the table.
"Well, alright. You don"t have to prepare anything, I"ll arrange to that, " said Sven. He planned to write a dowry check first for the bride, and the price he wrote was... Ninety-nine million nine hundred and ninety thousand! After that, he thought that he would take Nicole to find a suitable new house for them to live in...
That sounded great!
"OK!" said Daisy. When she told Chuck the news, he also almost choked on the fried bread stick he was eating.
"Why does Sven suddenly want to get married? Does he really want to get married? What happened between them last night..." pondered Chuck.
At the Li Manor
Lola, who had received the phone call, came to the door to greet Sven and his parents.
Daisy, who was very happy because of the fortunate event, smiled and held Lola"s hand. She had never thought that her son would ever fall in love with Nicole!
Harry, who knew that Nicole had stayed with Sven last night, didn"t look too well, but he still tapped Sven on the shoulder.
They sat in the living room, and the servant brought them first-cla.s.s tea and pastries.
