Let's Get Married novel Chapter 772

He never disbelieves her. What he cannot believe is his own grandfather.

Everything the old man has done in the past is still vivid in Pehry's mind. Every single thing he has done is more than what Jasmine can bear.

Pehry doesn't want her to experience all the things that his parents have endured. That was too painful. He was deeply traumatized even though he has only experienced it as his parents' son, let alone his parents themselves.

Seeing that he remains silent, the passion in Jasmine's heart also fades out. It is not that she isn't worried or anxious at all. But under the pressure from the old man, she wants Pehry to see her determination.

That's why she pretends to be strong and relaxed. She wants to give him faith, but she did not expect Pehry to be the one who flinches first.

Jasmine puts down the chopsticks in her hand, all her appetite lost, "Pehry, are you thinking about backing down?"

Without giving him chance to speak, she continues, "Even I myself am not afraid. What are you so afraid of?"

Mr. Alfred has scolded her, spoken ill of her, and even insulted her, but she can ignore all those things. What she only cares about is the attitude of the man in front of her.

Just a few demoralizing words from him discourage her more than anything else.

Jasmine's courage is like the air going out of a balloon which is burst by a needle.

She stands up, looking somewhat panicked, "I'll go home now. We can talk after you've think it through ..."

Before she can finish speaking, Pehry grabs her by her wrist and pulls her back, "That's not what I mean. Don't worry."

It was fine when he says nothing, but Jasmine feels great grievance the moment he began to speak. Her eyes immediately turn red, "Then what do you mean ..."

"I'm just afraid that my grandpa may do something to you. I'm afraid that you will be affected."

Jasmine opens her mouth, wanting to say something, but she is interrupted by him before she can make a sound.

"I know what you're trying to say. You're not afraid. Yes, that's fine. But I'm scared. I don't want you to face something cruel and dark. Seeing you sitting face-to-face with him, my heart was filled with fear. The fear hasn't gone away yet." Pehry knits his eyebrows tightly, the look on his face more serious than ever, "You don't know him, but I know him very well. I know very well how cruel he can be and what kind of man he is."

It is precisely because he knows his grandfather so well that he feels more and more uneasy.

After listening to his explanation, Jasmine feels a little less grievance in her heart, "Then you want to break up with me? Just because you're afraid?"

Hearing that she says 'break up', Pehry's face suddenly clouds over. He stands up and pulls her into his embrace, his breath somewhat unstable, "No, you have to stay by my side."

Jasmine feels a little relieved when she hears that. She raises her hand to stroke the back of the man and comforts him softly, "I know you have a lot of worries, but we are being together now. That's the best thing, right? I am not someone else, and nor are you. We are different from others, so everything else will also be different. As long as we don't change our minds, nothing can separate us apart."

Pehry holds her even more tightly as he listens to her words.

"Yes." He still feels uneasy, his voice a little hoarse, "Everything will be fine."

He can find a way to make his grandfather agree. As long as he can be with Jasmine, he can use his future for exchange.

At worst, he must completely obey Mr. Alfred's order and do as he is told from now on. But as long as she is by his side, there can still be some warmth and light in his life.

Jasmine still stays in the villa that night. Holding the girl in his arms, Pehry is finally at ease. Only when he smells the scent of her body can he feel that his heart is no longer so empty.

Although they remain silent, they both know that it is already past midnight when they finally fall asleep.
