"I can fulfill your request, but I won't marry you." After Juliet thought about it for a moment, she said, "I'm not targeting you. I'm a person who doesn't want to get married. If you don't believe me, you can ask my boss."
"Why are you not willing to get married?" Isaac asked as he was curious.
"Some people yearn to get married, but some just don't like the idea of marriage. There's no particular reason. I just don't like being tied to another person," Juliet said nonchalantly. "Besides, even if I did want to marry you, my parents would never allow me to marry someone from Aryadelle."
Isaac smiled. "I have no intentions of marrying you. I'm not such an easy man either. I just like how you look. You are very beautiful, and you live up to my beauty standards."
"I'm really unlucky," said Juliet, taking a dig at herself.
The smile on Isaac's face disappeared. "Am I that bad for you to think so little of me?"
Juliet said, "We aren't close, and I told you that I'm a person who does not want to get married. I won't get married and I don't like men, yet you are forcing me to date you. Why don't you think and see how annoying you are?"
"I have dirt on you, yet you still dare to talk to me like that. Juliet, are you really not afraid of pissing me off?" Isaac was embarrassed, so he got angry.
He believed that he was rather polite to Juliet.
"Was what you said earlier nonsense as well?" Juliet continued speaking rudely. "Didn't you say that you like my appearance and my figure? I've just criticized you a little and you don't like me anymore?"
Isaac was so pissed by what she said that he laughed.
"Juliet, I really did not expect you to have this side. I'm quite surprised, and I find myself liking you more and more."
Because he said that, Juliet shut her mouth.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you afraid that the more you say, the more I'll like you?" said Isaac.
At the same time, he could not help but reach out his hand and held her right hand. As he said that, he stretched out his hand and grabbed hold of her right hand.
"I don't need one…"
"I knew that you'd say that. Let's just take it as you don't need one. However, I need a woman. Since you've agreed to be my girlfriend, then we have to stay together. If you don't want to move into my house, I can move into yours. This way, you don't have to bother doing anything." Isaac was not discussing anything with her; he was merely telling her what he intended to do. "Don't worry. I won't go back on my promise. I'll treat you with respect when we are in public, and I won't force you into marrying me."
"Give me a few days! I need time to adjust to the situation" Juliet was in a terrible mood.
"Juliet, I've said so much to you. Was it all for nothing? I won't eat you up, so why are you afraid of me? What will be changed if I give you a few days? You still won't like me. Why don't I move in right away, and then, we can start developing feelings for each other as soon as possible." Isaac rejected her request. "After we're done with dinner, let's first go to my house. I'll pack up some things and then we'll go to your house."
Juliet was speechless.
"Let us not tell Elliot and Avery about us being together," said Isaac after he weighed out the pros and cons. "Let's go public after New Year's! Oh, yes, do you have to return to Ylore after New Year's?"
"New Year's is only a big deal for you people in Aryadelle. It's nothing in Ylore," Juliet said coldly.
