Her Sensational Return with Triplets After Six Years novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82 I Need a Wife

Bethany was stunned. Raymond couldn't squander money like that even though he was rich. Did he throw the watch away just because she refused to take it?

"The watch was customized for you. It is engraved with your name. If you don't take it, the watch is valueless. Why should I keep it?"

The watch was engraved with her name?

Bethany quickly looked outside. Raymond had tossed the box at the sea. A wave was coming up and seemed to take the box away into the depth of the sea.

Without hesitation, Bethany directly dived off the yacht to pick up the box. Seeing that, Raymond quickly dived into the sea. When a big wave was going to hit Bethany, Raymond hastily held her in his arms.

He snapped, "Didn't you see the tide is turning? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Bethany clutched the box tightly and said angrily, "Didn't I do that because of you? You tossed away such an expensive watch and blamed me. I won't take the blame."

Following that, she thrust the box into his hand and said, "Don't toss it away in front of me. I don't like to be threatened."

After she spoke, Bethany went into the yacht. She was wet after she dived into the water, so she sat on the sofa and tried to wring the water out of her clothes.

Raymond felt helpless. Bethany had a totally different thinking logic from the other women.

He asked again, "Don't you take the gift that I chose for you with care?"

"If this is an ordinary watch, I'll take it gratefully, but it's a special tailor-made watch, so I can't take it."

Bethany looked at Raymond and said, "You're wealthy and spent money on customizing the watch. It's a piece of cake for you, but I can't afford it. I can't take expensive gifts from you without giving you gifts of the same value in return. If I take the watch, I'll feel uneasy. Perhaps you think the watch is valueless if I don't take it, but you didn't ask for my opinion before you had it customized. Therefore, you can't force me to take it. You have the right to give me the gift, but I have the right to refuse it."

Her words shocked Raymond, who couldn't help giving a wry smile. "It's only a birthday gift. Why do you make a big fuss of it?"

Bethany explained, "Perhaps you think I'm pretentious and ungrateful, or I'm playing hard-to-get. I don't care what you think. I'm grateful to you for giving me a birthday gift."

"Okay, you won. I see that you won't take the gift." Raymond had to put away the box.

"I appreciate it. Thank you." Bethany quickly changed the topic. "Aren't we taking a boat trip? Shall we go?"

"Okay." Seeing that Bethany was excited and couldn't wait, Raymond started the yacht, which slowly left the shore. Bethany stood on the deck and looked out into the sea, feeling much better.

The moon above the sea seems particularly beautiful, and its reflection was faint in the waves. The soft moonlight sprinkled on the surface of the sea, and everything looked peaceful.

It was really beautiful!

When Bethany was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery, a coat was draped over her shoulders. Bethany tightened the coat. The sea breeze at night was cold.

"Thank you," Bethany said gratefully.

"You've been saying these two words all night. I'm tired of it," said Raymond.

"Will it be a nominal marriage by agreement without love?"

Without love? A nominal marriage?

Raymond's face darkened at her words. He looked at Bethany with cold eyes and asked, "Will you marry me if I say yes?"

Bethany bit her lip and thought for a while before nodding. "You've helped me a lot. I don't know how to pay back your kindness. If you want to use me to get rid of the Shepard family, I can do that. I'll sign the prenup. When we divorce, I'll demand nothing from you, nor will I take anything from your family."

Divorce? Demand nothing?

Her words enraged Raymond, who pressed her hard on the railings of the yacht. He leaned to her menacingly and looked at her closely with angry eyes.

"Bethany, I wished I could cut open your heart and see what's inside. Do you know how many women long to marry me? How many women wish me to look at them? I've never made such an effort to celebrate anyone's birthday before, nor have I discussed marriage with anyone else. No one will mention a divorce when I propose to her. Bethany, you set a perfect example of a faithful woman, who won't love any other man after her husband has passed away for so many years. Aren't you faithful to your husband? Continue to do that. Let's pretend I didn't say anything just now."

After he spoke, Raymond turned around and strode back to the yacht.

Bethany stayed on the deck in confusion. Why was Raymond angry? Did he fall for her as Ainsley said?

Did he mean it when he proposed to her? Love? Did Raymond fall in love with her? Did he?

If he didn't love her, why was he so angry? If he loved her, then...
