Chapter 135 - 135 135 The Answer is Simple
?Chapter 135: Chapter 135: The Answer is Simple Chapter 135: Chapter 135: The Answer is Simple “In fact, it’s simple. Why don’t you marry my father? Then all the rumors will fall apart on their own! Think about it, once you two get married, won’t my uncle be proved innocent?”
Innocence… This cheeky kid, it seems as if anyone who gets involved with Cherish Turner is perceived as guilty!
“Ahem, Lewis, what are you talking about? You’re just a child, don’t just speak irresponsibly. Go play somewhere else!” Cherish Turner gave him a blank look, now, she dares not to even glance at William Griffith.
William Griffith, who just choked on his coffee, seemed to have had an epiphany due to his son’s comment. The questions he had been obsessing over, hesitating over, and couldn’t figure out, now, the answer had surprisingly come from the mouth of a child, so simple.
Why hadn’t he thought of marrying Cherish Turner first?
If he has acknowledged her as his woman, and has made up his mind that he will marry her and raise Lewis together, then why not get married sooner.
He suddenly looked at the woman in front of him, his gaze deep.
Just as Cherish Turner was raising her eyes, she detected William Griffith’s expression, but she didn’t expect her gaze to collide with his. His gaze was so deep, bottomless. What was he thinking? Surely, he wasn’t seriously considering what Lewis had suggested?
“Don’t listen to Lewis’s nonsense. We’re not at that stage yet!”
At this point, they were mostly just at the stage of getting to know each other, or maybe dating. They weren’t discussing marriage yet.
Yes, a man like William Griffith is irresistible to any woman, especially when he gazes at you with his intense eyes, it feels like a black hole, sucking in even the hardest of hearts.
“Which stage?” Hearing this, William Griffith felt uneasy and awkward. He stood up and walked towards Cherish Turner.
Not there yet? Does she mean they’re not yet at the stage where they could get married? Is it the emotions, or something else that isn’t there yet?
For him, that step should have been taken five years ago.
“That is, that is…” What should she say? Also, what was that look in her eyes?
“You mean to say, we’re not at the stage of getting married, right?”
Yes, that’s what I mean! Oh, boss, you’re so clever, but I can’t say it outright!
Cherish Turner chose to stay silent, smartly.
“So, do you think I’m not good enough for you?”
Cherish Turner shook her head.
“Not loving you enough?”
Uh, no, that’s not it either.
“So, are you not loving me enough?” Each question William Griffith posed was straight to the point, leaving Cherish Turner flabbergasted, unable to find an answer.
She wanted to deny it, desperately, but feared her outright denial would seem hurtful. Also, it wasn’t completely untrue.
Seeing Cherish Turner avoid the question, William Griffith pushed her further: “Cherish Turner, do you love me?”
Taking a step closer, she felt the air thinning around her, making it hard to breathe. His aura was too powerful! But how should she respond? It was a question that tested her intellect and emotional quotient.
“Do you love me?” He didn’t intend to give her much time to ponder or let her avoid confronting it directly.
“William, can’t you be a bit more subtle when asking me such questions?”
“Don’t you want to be with me? Do you hope that from now on we part ways, going in our respective directions?”
“No, that’s not it!” This question was obviously easier to answer, so Cherish Turner blurted out her response without thinking!
