Task NO.1 How to Pursue Miss CEO novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248 I Won’t Marry You

Hence, she didn’t want to waste any more time on suspicion and guesses. All she wanted was to treasure the people and everything close to her. That was why she proposed to him; she wanted to stay by Pierre’s side and share his sadness, sorrow and everything else.

As Pierre gazed at her earnest eyes, he became a little lost; the man was supposed to be the one to bring up a proposal, so how much courage did she muster in order to do this now?

However, he couldn’t bring himself to do it. After supporting her to get up, he turned to look out at the darkness through the window. It was a cloudy night; the moon, and even the stars were not visible. The entire sky appeared especially dark and lonely, emanating an oppressive air. “I won’t marry you,” he uttered.

When Selena heard those words, she felt a buzzing in her ears, unsure if she had heard wrongly or what was going on. Never thinking that he would reject her, Selena thought that it was only a matter of time before they were married since they were already so intimate. However, he had turned her down.

She knew that with his personality, he would marry her as long as he trusted her regardless of John’s objections. “What did you say?” she asked in uncertainty.

Turning around to face her, he repeated, “I won’t marry you.” Staring at him blankly, Selena heard what he said this time, and she fully understood what he meant.

For a long while, their gazes were locked on each other, and the scenes from their past kept flashing across her mind.

However, as the glimmer in Selena’s eyes gradually died down, Pierre suddenly regretted his decision and thought that he shouldn’t have been so harsh. Knowing how much pain she suffered because of Finneas, he knew that she must have gathered a huge amount of courage and determination to propose to him.

“What I mean is, now is not the time to speak about this.” In the end, he became soft-hearted because he couldn’t bear to see her upset.
