The Unexpected Marriage novel Chapter 62

Joan swore to herself that she was not a liar!

She was not used to lying. The spicy food covered her red face. She lowered her head and looked at him. "I, I'm not kidding. I just need time to think about it."

'Darren, you can't blame me. If I didn't care too much and wasn't too timid, if I was not afraid that I couldn't have all the love you gave me, I wouldn't have been so suffering.

It was much braver for her to say no than to say yes.

"But Joan, you said the different words a few days ago. You've already agreed to marry me, haven't you?" He grabbed her wrist, raised her hand with the couple ring and put it in his palm.

The two pairs of rings, one in each size, were shining brightly in the light. Joan just felt them harsh to her eyes. Stiffly and in a distance, she pushed Darren away and said, "I'm not feeling well today. Let's talk about it later, okay?"

"Let's eat." Avoiding the burning eyes, Joan sat down and continued eating. Her stomach was already full, and she was unable to swallow anything.

But now, apart from eating, it seemed that she couldn't do anything else. She could feel his anger which made him very unhappy.

She could feel it.

"Why do you hate the Lu family so much? Or you have never thought of marrying me? "

Putting the spoon into the plate, they heard a sharp sound. He looked up at the girl who apparently had a big appetite and did not save her face. "Joan, I can win or lose in the business world but I don't want to be cheated and used. This is my base line."

Nobody knew since when they had talked like this. Their conversation had been full of suspicion of each other. She had tried to find out whether she was the one he loved most in his whole life by surveying his first love from all kinds of sources. His rejection always reminded her of her ex-husband.

She took a sip of the lemonade and looked at him with her watery eyes. She knew that she couldn't live up to the romantic evening and the ambiguous atmosphere around them.

She only said, "Darren, I also have my bottom line. I hope that we two can never lie to each other."

They would never lie to each other.

Then, he raised his head and tasted the wine in the glass. He knew that he shouldn't have drunk the wine in this way, but he was in no mood to enjoy it.

"If you are not in a good mood, I can drive you home. You have been eating with your head lowered since night. Aren't you afraid of being stuffed to death?"

Darren's words were like an imperial order to Joan, and they threw down her chopsticks in a hurry and left the restaurant one after another after he paid the bill.

The atmosphere in the car was very cold. They didn't talk much on the way. She didn't know why she felt dizzy in Darren's car, but she had a terrible feeling in her stomach.

"Let me escort you upstairs." It was his habit. Every night when he came back home, he would send Joan upstairs on purpose. He was afraid that something would happen to her. Joan's stomach wouldn't stop churning as soon as she opened the door. She ran to the bathroom without taking off her shoes and threw up all the food she had eaten at night.

She grabbed the edge of the toilet and began to vomit, Darren's hands

trying to keep her hair from falling on the filthy vomit.

Gradually, both of them calmed down and sat on the sofa with a glass of water in their hands.

"What do you want to ask me?" They uttered almost the same words at the same time, but they both fell into silence.

When Joan was getting better, he thought it necessary to sit down and have a talk with her.

Scott's project was much smaller than that of Lu Company, and the decoration time was much shorter than that of Lu Company. When they gathered together, Party A specially called in Charles Lu to join the party.

After all, Scott and Darren would become a headline when they appeared together.

During the dinner, Scott just hid his capacities and bided his time. He really showed his mature self in front of Darren.

In the bathroom next to the window, Darren looked at his face in the mirror. The warm water splashed on his hands and he rubbed his fingers gracefully.

"Mr. Lu, Congratulations! Your business volume is now highly valued, and now the stock market condition and even the construction industry are all under your control. Congratulations!"
