The Three Little Guardian Angels novel Chapter 1256

Francisco trembled, and he hugged her even tighter.

It looked like he was using all his strength, but a sense of powerlessness rose from the depths of his heart.

A surge of emotion raged in his eyes as he said, "Naomi.I don't know how to express my feelings.You're different from those women I wooed before, so I can't treat you like I treated them."

He tightened his grip on her shoulders.

"If I had known this day would come, I would have stayed away from you in the first place."

Naomi’s eyelashes trembled.She stayed in his arms and did not say anything.

Francisco stroked her cheek with his hand and wiped the tears off her face.

"I don’t deserve a good woman like you."

He slowly pulled away from Naomi after he finished speaking.

Just when he turned around, Naomi hugged him from behind.He was stunned, and his chest rose up and down heavily.

"Naomi..."

"Just let me hug you for a while."

Naomi closed her eyes.

She pressed her cheek against his back, feeling the warmth of his body seeping into her for the last time.

After a long while, she withdrew her arms and said, "I'm satisfied that I know you like me too."

His chest heaved up and down heavily.

He pulled the door open and went away without turning his head.He dared not to turn his head around, for he did not want her to see the redness beneath his eyes.

Several days later...

"Engagement?"

Naomi was stunned.

She looked at Jackie sitting in front of her in surprise and asked, "Are...Are you serious, Mr.Clifford?"

‘I thought we're just pretending to be a couple? Why does he want to get engaged?’ Jackie picked up his coffee cup and took a sip.

"It’s just a fake engagement."

He then put the cup on the table and straightened his back.

"We're just going to go through some formalities.Besides, we can cancel the engagement at any time."

"Mr.Clifford, are you doing this just to lie to your grandfather?" Naomi asked.

"You can put it that way,"

Jackie replied with a smile.

"Don’t you want to know what Francisco will do after learning of your engagement?"

Naomi was stunned.
