Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 861

"Sven..." said Nicole.

"I love hearing you call my name. I'll give you some time to consider my proposal, but you have to wear the ring on your finger. Don't ever take it off!" said Sven.

"..."

Then, Nicole's phone rang in her handbag, and she initially wanted to get up from the sofa to answer it, but Sven took it out of her handbag before her and then passed it over to her. "Tell your mother that you're not coming home tonight," demanded Sven.

"No..." said Nicole.

"Listen to me, Nicole. I want you to become my woman," said Sven. Sven was actually very anxious now, because he had already sent someone to investigate all of the people that hanged around her in America, and he had found out that there was a large group of men that was already chasing her. He couldn't let some other guy have the chance to steal her away from him after he had just confessed his love to her.

Now, he had to make Nicole his woman for good; he would definitely be her first and only man, according to Nicole's character.

Nicole's phone was still ringing, and her face flushed bright red as she refused Sven's offer. "No, if I don't return, my father will..."

"Then tell your father that you're at your friend's house and that you're not coming back tonight!" insisted Sven. If Nicole didn't return home tonight, he would go and meet the Si family together with his own parents tomorrow, and ask for blessings for their marriage.

Nicole felt uneasy, and demanded, "Please let go of me first."

She had never been so intimate and close to a man before, and she was quite scared and intimidated now.

Sven stood up from her, and Nicole felt a little bit more relaxed. She then sat up from the sofa and answered her phone, which had already rang twice by then. "Mom!" she said.

"Nicole, where are you now? Why haven't you come back home yet?" asked Lola.

Nicole took a glance at the man who is staring at her, and she lowered down her voice, and said, "Mom, I'm at my friend's house, I'm... coming..." She initially didn't want to lie to her mother like Sven had told her, but the man then suddenly held onto her waist with his arms around her...

"Mom, I'm not coming home tonight. You and dad sleep tight, please." Nicole eventually corrected her words.

Lola, on the other side of the line, thought of Daisy's phone call, and she felt that something was indeed not going right. Daisy had called her earlier and had asked her to make sure Nicole arrived home earlier.

"Why aren't you coming back home tonight?" asked Lola.

Nicole gnawed on her lower lip and pondered on what she would say next; she had never lied to her parents.

Sven wanted to take the phone from her hands and talk with Lola himself. But Nicole was frightened, and she hastily grabbed back her phone from him, and answered in a rush, "Mom, I haven't met with my friend for a long time, and we just want to catch up more with what each other has done over the past couple of years."

"Which friend of yours?" asked Lola again. Lola saw her husband's darkened face and decided to go on asking her.

Nicole felt so helpless that she really didn't know how to make up a solid, credible story, because this was the first time she had told a lie to her parents.

Sven saw her bewildered look, and as he tried to grab her phone again, Nicole gripped her phone even tighter in her hands, and replied, "Mom, it's just a new friend I made in America; you don't know her. Please don't insist on asking more, I'll hang up now."

After she ended the call, Harry frowned his eyebrows. He had clearly heard all what his daughter had spoken on the phone because Lola had it switched on the loud speaker.

He then took out his own phone called Chuck Si. "Chuck, when did you last see Nicole?" asked Harry. 'My daughter wasn't acting normal! She talked with a stutter; that never happened before!' thought Harry.

"I actually didn't see Nicole. It was Angela who told me that... Nicole and Sven were together," answered Chuck. Chuck was aware that this was a big deal, and so he didn't try to cover anything up.

Harry frowned even more when he heard this, and asked, 'Should she be together with Sven so late of night? Even if the man is Sven, it's really late...' he thought. "Is Sven living in the same apartment as he used to?" asked Harry.

Chuck answered him, and tried to persuade him. "Yes. But we, as the elders, had better not intervene in the younger one's affairs." Chuck thought that if Sven and Nicole were both willing to be together, it didn't matter that much.

But Harry, as her father, wouldn't agree to let Sven touch his own daughter without ensuring her legal status yet.
