The arms suddenly tightened round her waist, which made she could hardly breathe.
“You know it, but I do not mind telling you again. Be my woman and have babies for me.”
His voice seduced her. Olive lowered her head to look at the floor. But her heart was flipping for him. She almost wanted to say yes.
“Give me some time to think about it.”
“Don’t play with me.” He could easily see what she was thinking.
Olive smiled softly. "I dare not. Mr. Hoyle can easily get what you want. Don’t have to mention a woman, you even can get one to your left and one to your right.”
To be honest, it was not because that she didn’t want to be his woman, she just couldn’t convince herself to share him with another woman.
Alan heard the sarcasm in her words and smiled. "You are jealous."
Realizing this, his gloomy mood was suddenly clear.
Olive's ears were hot, though they were not face to face, she could feel his eyes staring at her from behind, which made her slightly uncomfortable. "Whatever you say. "
Alan still smiled and suddenly said. “I have never touched Ophelia."
Olive was slightly startled and raised his head involuntarily. Compared to hearing this from others, it was different to hear this from his mouth.
“But you are getting married, aren’t you?” Olive shook off his hands, picked up her coat on the ground and put it on. There was a thin mist on her eyelashes, she blinked and it disappeared.
Even if joy was spreading in her heart, but she had to face the reality.
Alan grabbed her by the wrist. "What if I get married with you?"
“Now what, isn’t it enough for you to have a wife?”
“Only you.” Alan watched her sincerely.
Olive paused for a while, then she laughed. "Don’t treat me like a kid. Even if you want, your fiancée are not going to agree. Even if you persuade her, the Hoyles and Meyers won’t allow you."
“So, please give me some time.” From the beginning to the end, he never thought his marriage was going to be manipulated by others.
“Well, should not you give me time to think? At least before you finished your own troubles. Am I right? Just leave me alone. You don’t care, but it does mean I don’t care, either.” Olive said without any pause, she just wanted to leave the room as soon as possible.
“Alright, but you can’t avoid me anymore.” Alan held on to her wrist tightly, he didn’t let go of her hands until she was forced to nod helplessly.
Olive could not wait to turn around, but he called her as she walked to the door. "Wait."
