My Sweet Seduction novel Chapter 79

“WILL YOU MARRY me tomorrow?”

As if I wanted to laugh at what he said. I turned my attention back to the beautiful city because I could not find the answer.

“Tomorrow, I will marry you. I want to make sure you never leave me again, that you will never escape me again.” I was swallowed up by what I heard.

“Do you agree?” My lips quivered at his question. I know I have no reason to refuse, but why is it so fast?

“We are not yet ready, Lawrence.”

He groaned, he licked his lips, and it became redder.

“It takes one week to prepare. I make sure everything will be finalized and perfectly polished before I discuss this with you.”

My lips parted in his revelation. So, this is the reason he did not see me for almost a week.

“I hate you!”

My two eyes started to heat up. I let go of his embrace and wiped away my tears.

“Hey, where are those tears coming from? Tell me.” He pulled my cheek and faced me. He caressed my cheeks and slowly lowered his head to look at me evenly.

I thought he chooses Elliesse.

“What about your dad? You can lose everything if you continue to have a relationship with me.”

“I’m good and stable. I don’t need his money just to live. I have my own savings, and I will not fall if he takes everything from me and leaves nothing at all. I can start a new life and build a new one—with you and with our son.”

I do not know what to say at this point. Tears welled up again, and I couldn’t stop myself. My heartbeat accelerates, this great pounding, this tremendous pressure. Nothing is running through my mind right now, but what can happen tomorrow, in the coming days, and in the days to come with him.

“Please, marry me.”

AFTER A LONG cold night, the daybreak brought glimmers of warmth. The golden light softly caressed my bare skin.

I smiled when I heard the birds chirping outside. I peeked into the quiet sea that greeted me. Until now, I still can’t believe I’m here at the Saavedra Resort.

Too much happened I did not expect last night. Lawrence’s proposal to me was even more exciting. I thought this would be the end of the road for me. But that was not what destiny wants to give me. He gave me the best gift I ever wanted to receive.

I almost had a happy ending, but it was immediately withdrawn from me even before it happened. I almost married the wrong person, the man I thought would give me happiness and not hurt me was able to leave me and exchange with another woman.

But I’m contented with what life can give me. I will never look for anyone other than Lawrence and Clarence.

While hugging the bathrobe, I headed to the veranda. The beautiful beauty of the beach and the blue water greeted me.

I looked at the food on the round table with a white rose and a letter attached to it. I sat in the chair and read the letter.

Sweetie,

Enjoy your breakfast and take some rest.

I want you to be beautiful later at our wedding.

I miss you so bad . . .
