After dropping Arianne off at the Tremont Estate, Tiffany finally spoke her mind, “Ethan, you should know that I only agreed to your proposal to spare you from being publicly humiliated. I don’t want to get married this quickly. I mentioned this long ago.”
Ethan didn’t seem too surprised by her revelation, but he hadn’t expected her to speak up so soon, “So?”
She took the ring off her finger, “Could we talk about this after I’ve decided to get married? It’s really not what I want right now.”
He curled his lips into a smirk, as if in self-mockery, “You used to push me into getting married, and now it’s the opposite? What changed? I love you more than ever, yet you’ve gradually lost your feelings for me. I admit that it’s all because of me, and I’m trying my best to fix it. But I’m afraid that there might be some unforeseen events, so I’d rather get married first. If you have any doubts or anything you don’t like about me, we can always work on it in the future. All I want is for you to marry me now.”
She lowered her head and bit her lips, “I’m sorry.”
He slammed his foot against the accelerator, growing slightly hysterical, “‘Sorry? Don’t give me that bullsh*t. I don’t want to hear it! Either we get married in a month, or we break it off. That’s more thorough. You’re not unwell, are you? I’ll drop you off at home. You have ten more minutes; think of your answer, very carefully.”
Ten minutes wasn’t a very long time. Ethan turned towards her when he parked the car at her home, downstairs, “Well?”
Her answer remained the same, “I’m not ready to get married right now.”
He smiled and nodded, “Okay, I respect your decision. Consider it as payback for what I’ve owed you. You’ve made me pay the full price now. I was a dick in the past, and you’ve had your revenge in full. We’re even. You should go.” Then he opened a window and lit a cigarette, refusing to look at her any longer.
Tiffany let out a heavy sigh and did not give too much of an explanation. She pushed the door open and got down from the car.
