Chapter 1798: A Wonderful Feeling

The two of them gazed at each other, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still.

"..." Monica glanced at him, then at the book in her hand, and raised her eyes to ask, "Sir, are you interested in this book of mine?" There was indeed only one book on the shelf.

Bertie immediately came to his senses. "No, no, no," his calm expression turned into a smile. "I don't need this book."

However, for some reason, he felt a peculiar sense of familiarity with this young girl, a feeling that was quite marvelous, one that made him want to get closer.

So he asked, "Miss, do you have some time right now?"

Being questioned by this unfamiliar man, Monica became more cautious, meeting his gaze without speaking, because she had no idea what he was up to.

What did her availability have to do with him?

Afraid of being misunderstood, Bertie hurriedly explained, "I am from out of town, and today is my first time in Arkpool City. I see you're at the age for discussing marriage, so I have a few things I'd like to ask you about. Is that okay?"

"I have a boyfriend," Monica stated bluntly. "You're not trying to introduce your son to me, are you? My boyfriend and I are about to get married!" There was no complete relaxation in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Bertie chuckled. What was this young girl thinking?

With a kind smile, he said, "No, no, no, Miss, you've misunderstood. I do have a son indeed, but he already has a girlfriend, and they are getting ready to marry, but... I haven't formally visited the girl's family, and I don't understand the customs here. I'm afraid of being presumptuous, so I wanted to ask you about it."

Listening to the words of the older man, she saw a hint of sincerity in his eyes.
