His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 1298

On the way home, neither of the two spoke. The marriage proposal seemed like too much of an impact. Originally, Black was certain that they were mutually attached, so Holley's rejection was completely unexpected. Now, he knew that Holley didn't love him as much as he loved her.

All the while, Holley's mind was also a mess. Of course, she was well aware that no matter how many days he gave her to think about it, she would never be willing to marry him. Charles was still the only person who she wanted to be with.

The silence in the car made her too uneasy as she wasn't sure whether or not Black was angry at her. If he really was angry and directly handed his shares over to his father, Rex, what would Holley have left to do?

The atmosphere in the vehicle grew increasingly solemn until Holley opened her mouth, unable to bear it any longer.

"Would you like to stay for the night?"

As she said it, she merely stared at Black's hands on the steering wheel. If they weren't the only two people in the car, Black wouldn't have been sure that Holley was talking to him.

"I won't stay today. There's an early meeting at the company tomorrow morning. My house is closer to the office."

In truth, Black didn't have to go home that night. But without knowing what Holley really thought of him, he couldn't spend the night with her.

What made Black feel even stranger was that he wasn't touched at all when he heard Holley's words. Black's heart was numb unlike before, when his heartbeat would be racing, too difficult to calm down after hearing Holley say such words.

Even Black had to admit that the proposal triggered a crack in their relationship.

Before stepping out of the car, Holley gave Black a deep goodnight kiss, which, at the very least, managed to give him some confidence.

"Holley, I want to take you back home to meet my father this weekend. He's been expecting me to introduce my girlfriend to him for a long time now. I want to take you home so he won't worry about my marriage anymore."

Although she also felt uncomfortable to refuse a second unexpected request, Holley wouldn't dare go with him to meet Rex.

In the past, Holley had already heard quite a lot about Rex. The Hu Group's development into the current scale was entirely dependent on Rex's strategy of operation.

Undoubtedly, he was a scheming man. It was said that others were all too afraid to play any kind of trick in front of him because they couldn't escape Rex's calculating eyes.

What was more, Rex had a Mafia background and nobody dared provoke him. Not wanting his son to get involved in that scene, he tried to gradually wash the Hu Group in the recent years, operating the company legally. Still, his history still scared people off.

Holley's past was not completely legal. She was afraid that Rex would figure out all her immoral actions in the past. If Rex had her unmasked, Black would most definitely leave her and she would no longer own Tarsan Corporation.
