Chapter 36 Tangled
Rowan came out from Finnley's house and her face was still flushed.
This was the first time that she let go of her dignity for a man.
She had never thought of taking the initiative to mention marriage in her lifetime.
But as long as she could be together with Greyson, she could do everything.
Rowan left with a smile.
The days were passing day by day.
Daily medical check ups, handfuls of medicine and Jensen's increasing worrying look.
Hattie looked paler and slimmer.
She knew that she had limited time to live.
She did not want to continue living.
If she continued to live, she would only become Jensen's burden.
In addition, Greyson would not be upset for her death, right?
Perhaps, he had already forgotten her.
Hattie looked at the trees outside of the window and she was seemingly unconscious.
Jensen looked at her spiritless look and felt even more anxious.
He went for a doctor before but the doctor said that it was incurable and the possible thing that could be done was only extending her lifetime. If she cooperated actively, she had at least three to five years to live. But, as it appeared now, her desire to survive was not strong.
In other words, if she would not want to live anymore, even a doctor could not save her.
Suddenly, Jensen said, "Hattie, I hope that you don't run away from this. I ask you one more time, do you marry me?"
Hattie turned to look at him like a machine.
Throughout these times, he appeared even thinner and more haggard because of her.
How could she let him be labeled as a widower without knowing when?
He was still young and having countless possibilities. He should not be roped together with her.
"I am sorry, Jensen." Hattie said, "Please forgive me for rejecting you."
Jensen hung down the corner of his mouth and said with a bitter smile, "Oh really? I know it, I do not want to force you, I am sorry."
"I should be the one who apologizes" Hattie said, "If I do not appear, your life will not turn out to be like this."
"Do you want to have a look at him?" asked Jensen.
"... Why would I want to meet him?" Hattie turned her head away and said, "That's it."
"Hattie, why don't you want to live? The doctor said that your lifetime can be extended more for three to five years." said Jensen.
"But, I need to struggle for more than three to five years. Instead of that, I want to die." Hattie sighed and said, "You also know how bad the attack of toxicity towards my body is." Jensen looked at the wounds on her exposed skin and closed his eyes. He said, "Ok, I understand."
Then let him accompany her through the last period of her life.
...
"Getting married?" Greyson looked at Finnley in surprise and said, "Aren't Rowan and I just engaged not long ago? Why so hurry?"
"Then how long do you want to drag on?" Finnley said, "People all over the country have already known that you are engaged to Rowan!" "..." Greyson pursed his lips.
Unexpectedly, he rejected his father's suggestion instinctively.
"This is a notification." Finnley said, "You need to marry her even if you do not want to do so, do you understand? It is because Ms Rowan came to speak to me about the marriage in person! She is a girl, still such an arrogant girl. For you,
she humbled her attitude you,
to beg me if you can marry her as soon as possible." Greyson remained silent.
"... Did you do something to her? So she becomes in a hurry?" asked Finnley.
"No! I did not even have sex with her!" Greyson denied immediately.
"Even so, this marriage is fixed." Finnley said with disappointment, "We and the Porter family are the leading enterprise in the industry do not know how many others who are envious of this strong
ove
combination. You should be
satisfied."
Greyson was reluctant in his heart at first.
He also did not know why, obviously, he would want to spend his lifetime with Rowan originally.
But now, Rowan specifically went to
his father and brought up the topic
of marriage first. Then, he did not
have any reason to reject hep already.
He loved Rowan, very much.
Greyson hypnotized himself subconsciously.
"Speak something." said Finnley when he noticed Greyson who was in silence for a long time.
"Then, let's do what you have arranged." said Greyson.
"Great. Then, I will start planning and preparing." Finnley said, "You need to know that what I did is for your own sake."
Greyson nodded and did not speak even a word afterwards.
The voice of resistance in his heart was getting stronger and louder.
It disturbed him to the extent that he was having a headache.
Greyson rubbed his temples and sought a reason to go back to his room.
He looked at himself in the mirror who had a good look.
It was like him but at the same time, it did not seem to be him.
Did he really love Rowan?
But why whenever he approached or touched her, he would feel nauseating and disgusting?
Didn't he love Rowan?
But the memories were truly existing.
Suddenly, there was a tingling in his head. Greyson snorted and stopped thinking about it.
Memories were absolutely real and the emotions that he had towards Rowan were due to the car accident for sure.
He needed to overcome this problem as soon as possible.
Rowan was going to be his wife.☐☐☐☐☐☐
