One night Two babies by Liz Pinelis novel Chapter 243

"I never said it. I was silent at the time." Stanley rubbed his eyebrows and corrected her.

Violet clenched her fists, "Isn't silence the acquiescence?"

"No, I don't want to deny it." Stanley shook his head slightly, "I didn't admit it at the time. It was because Vera was watching you secretly. I was worried that if I admitted it, she would target you more crazily."

Violet was stunned, "Really?"

"I won't lie to you." Stanley looked at her seriously.

Violet lowered her eyelids. What Jessie had said to her a few days ago came to her mind.

Jessie said that Stanley liked her, so he would listen to her and forgave George.

She didn't believe it, but now Stanley actually confessed to her...

For a while, Violet felt like a mess in her mind. She couldn't calm down. Her heartbeat was so fast that it couldn't return to its normal rhythm.

After a while, she took a deep breath and asked, "What about Miss Ellis? What is the relationship between you and Miss Ellis?"

"She is the goddaughter who was adopted by my mother when she was alive." Stanley replied, looking up.

"Goddaughter?" Violet blinked in surprise, "Then you are...brother and sister?"

Stanley raised his chin, "Yes, so who told you that I love Ivy?"

Violet swallowed for a while and replied, "No one told me. But when everyone mentioned Miss Ellis and you, the expressions on their face were very meaningful, so I thought you were in love..."

"No." Stanley answered with a frown.

Violet breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she was a little bit happy.

She always thought that he and Ivy were really a couple, so she felt very guilty about what happened last night and felt very sorry for Ivy.

But now when she learned that he had no such relationship with Ivy, she suddenly felt more at ease.

Seeing the smile on Violet's face, Stanley smiled faintly, "Now you know you are the only one I love?"

Violet let go of the edge of the table and wanted to return to the chair to sit down.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she took a step, she felt hurt. She frowned with pain and her legs were soft.

Seeing this, Stanley simply got up and hugged her to the sofa.

After sitting down on the sofa, Violet felt much more comfortable. She lowered her head, and whispered, "I'm sorry, Mr. Murphy, I still can't marry you. You said this to me suddenly, so I didn't have the slightest preparation. I..."

She didn't say the following words. She twisted the corners of her clothes a little nervously.

She didn't know whether her refusal several times in a row would anger him.

Then she found that her worry was unnecessary.

Stanley was not angry. He touched her hair, "I can understand you. I told you this suddenly. It’s really too fast and make you unprepared. Don't worry. I won't force you. I’ll wait for you to accept me."

He knew from the beginning that he would not get her consent immediately when he proposed to marry her.

So he didn't mind waiting for her to adapt.

Feeling the tenderness from him, Violet felt warmed. She smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Murphy."

"No worries. You still feel a little uncomfortable? Go to bed to rest for a while. I have already asked Jessie for leave." Stanley pointed to her bag on the coffee table.

Violet was shocked, "Then… Jessie knew what happened between us?"

"I didn't tell her, but she should have guessed it." Stanley answered calmly.

They were all adults. He used her phone to call Jessie in the morning. Jessie must think much about it.
