Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart

"What?"

"Get married?"

"Tomorrow?"

They exclaimed at the same time.

"Yes, we made a decision," Benedict and Bella nodded. And Benedict was holding her hand and softly pinching her palm to remind her to carry out their plan.

Maisie collected herself and stared at Bella, instead of her son. "Bella, we are confused and could not make any decision hastily. You have few interactions with him. But you decided to get married to him. Why? Marriage matters for everyone."

Maisie asked Bella because she worried about Bella and felt something fishy about their relationship.

Moved by Maisie's concern, Bella smilingly answered, "We didn't see each other or hang out. But we have feelings for each other."

Bella said the prepared words and was so nervous that her palms sweat.

Arthur stared at Benedict holding Bella's hand and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Feeling Bella got nervous, Benedict explained, "We have feelings for each other but don't tell each other. I have planned to confess my love in two years since she's young and busy studying."

"But tonight we got to know Alana's parents accepted Jamarion to be Alana's boyfriend. We told each other what we have been thinking and found we loved each other. Then we decided to be together for the rest of our life."

Benedict behaved much more naturally and his gaze at Bella was full of love and tenderness.

Maisie and Ezra looked at each other, surprised by their son's sudden tenderness.

Benedict had been a good boy and never made his parents worried since little. After he grew up, he always kept a straight face and never revealed his true feelings. It seemed that he could remain composed no matter what, and thus Maisie hardly saw any change on her son's face.

At that moment, she was surprised by her son's tender expression. Then she carefully observed her son and felt his affection was real. Maybe her son really liked Bella.

Though Maisie and Ezra were calm, Arthur was sullen and raised his voice volume, "You like him too?"

It was the first time in years that Arthur had spoken so loudly to his beloved daughter. Bella was his only daughter, so he cherished her very much.

Bella lost her words and felt somehow guilty.

But she could only reply smilingly after her finger was pinched softly by Benedict, "Yes, I like him."

In fact, it tormented Bella but she had to admit that Benedict was so thoughtful and meticulous. Just now, he forced her to rehearse in the car many times. Though shy and reluctant, she had to stare at him and said, "I like Benedict for a long time."

Knowing Benedict aimed to act perfectly to win their parents' trust, Bella could only do as they planned.

At the same time, she felt he was brimming with joy when she said these words.

To vent her anger, she asked him to

do the same thing. But

unexpectedly, he said without any

hesitation, "Bella, I like you. I love you I for such a long time that I almost

forget when I fell in love with you."

Looking at his eyes tinged with affection and sincerity, Bella almost believed he was telling the truth instead of carrying out their plan.

Her cheeks and ears reddened out of shyness.

She wanted to play a trick on him, but her trick didn't work.

She hurried to cover his mouth. "Stop. Now."

How could she know he was so glib-tongued?

She thought this matter would be settled after she confessed her love to Benedict. However, Arthur stared at his daughter and asked, "Look me in the eye and say you like him and want to marry him."

Others were speechless.

Benedict protested, "If so, she should look me in the eye and say these words."

Ezra added, arousing Arthur's anger, "His words make sense. How could she look at you to say those words?"

Arthur made a compromise to test her. "OK. Just look at him."

Arthur wondered why his daughter liked this guy and suddenly would get married. In his eyes, Bella was still his baby girl.

Arthur refused to accept any man to be his daughter's boyfriend or husband. He made that proposal just to test if Bella was serious about it.

Staring at Benedict, Bella refrained from being shy and anxious and was ready to say these words she had never said in her life.

Right on cue, Jean nudged Arthur's arms and protected Bella. "Stop giving our daughter a hard time. Since they are in love, we support them. But is it too hasty to get married tomorrow?" Jean was sane enough.

She believed they were a good match and could be in a relationship, but it was hasty for them to get married now.
