My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 871

Every word felt like a grenade that blasted Phoebe’s heart. They made her stunned, shocked, and shaken up.

She couldn’t believe her ears. What she heard was even more unrealistic than a dream.

Did she hear it wrongly? It had to be!

Otherwise, why would she feel that suddenly, the world became so unreal? So quixotic, even more impossible than a dream.

Stanford noticed how tensed Phoebe looked, he felt a bit jittery and uneasy.

He clenched his fingers and explained in a low voice.

“No matter why that happened yesterday, you are my woman from now on. I will take responsibility. After all, I did that to you last night.”

Stanford was oddly conservative.

Since they slept together, he should take responsibility. She would be his woman, his future wife.

Phoebe was still in a daze, but she snapped back into reality upon hearing what Stanford said. She understood now that everything was real.

Stanford wanted to be responsible towards her!

Taking responsibility, meaning that he would take her as his wife.

Phoebe turned from a person who got forced into a person who would benefit from this. This change came so suddenly that she couldn’t accept that it was a fact.

She didn’t know what to say at all.

Stanford’s heart got heavier seeing that Phoebe was staying silent for so long.

Like a stone that was thrown into the pond, his heart slowly sunk into the bottom of the lake which was as dark as night.

He had a complicated look on his face, he was frowning hard.

He understood that this matter was too sudden to Phoebe as she was the victim.

He was willing to take responsibility, but it didn’t mean that she would just accept it. Marriage mattered a lot to a girl and the rest of her life.

Society right now also wasn’t as conservative as before, she didn’t need to marry him just because they slept together.

Stanford felt gloomy, he pondered briefly and said in a low voice.

“If you don’t want to, I can…” Wait for you…

“I would love to!”

Before Stanford could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Phoebe who sounded very eager.

Their eyes met and suddenly, it was quiet.

Their hearts were pounding so hard that they were about to jump out of their chest. They were shaking and their heart racing.

The next moment, Phoebe looked away anxiously. Her face turned as red as a tomato.

She thought that she was too eager and wasn’t lady-like at all. It was embarrassing.

Very embarrassing.

She wanted to dig a hole and hide inside, but at the same time, she was ecstatic and on cloud nine.

Stanford took a breath of relief. His heavy heart was light and clear again.

It was great that she was willing to.

He couldn’t help but smile, even his voice sounded gentler than before.

“Then I’ll go today and ask your parents for your hand in marriage.”

“What?”

Phoebe looked up abruptly in shock, she couldn’t react to what was happening.

Asking for her hand in marriage? It was way too soon, things were happening too rapidly.

She was panicking and alarmed, she answered subconsciously, “Isn’t that too soon? I’m not ready yet.”

It was true that she wasn’t ready yet. She was still in a daze and felt like she was dreaming.

Stanford answered in a deep voice, “Then, how long do you need?”
