True Love Waits novel Chapter 1473

However, this feeling of Erma's didn't last long. When dinner was about to end, Erica asked Stan, "Stan, so what do you think of Erma?"

Stan nodded and replied politely, "Auntie, Erma is not only beautiful, but also a very dignified young lady."

Erma stifled her satisfied smile in an act of modesty, but it was true that she was always respectful of her elders.

Adkins went straight to the point and asked, "But is Erma your type?"

Erma's eyes jumped to Stan almost immediately and while she failed to hide her expectations in her stare, her instincts told her that he was going to shake his head.

But she was wrong. Stan nodded his head again, but this time he stood up from his seat, hoping to reach everyone clearly. "Uncle, Aunt, I think Erma is an interesting girl to say the least. It is my honor and blessing to have such a wonderful opportunity marrying someone like her. You know how the people in my family are, everyone's always so serious and grumpy. I'll bet when Erma becomes a part of my family, she will bring nothing but joy and happiness to everyone. Later on, perhaps if we're lucky, she can bless me with a son and a daughter."

The smile on Erma's face froze. 'Wait. What? What did he just say? Didn't we have an agreement to part ways after this dinner?

Is this his idea of revenge for what I did to his car?' she wondered.

Stan's grandpa looked like he was on the same page as his grandson. He looked at Erma lovingly and said, "Matthew, you've done a great job raising Erma. She is sophisticated, well-educated and intelligent. If you don't mind, can we just agree to have her marry into the He family? I give you my word that we will treat her well."

Stan looked at his grandfather with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Grandpa. Uncle, Aunt, if you have no objections, I'd like to take Erma's hand in marriage."

Adkins looked at Stan with eyebrows raised in disbelief. When he first brought up the idea of introducing him to his sister, Stan blew him off with a single sentence—"I only have time for my work right now."

When Adkins spoke for his sister again, Stan replied, "How long do you think people like us can stay interested in one person?"

In fact, Adkins had almost given up on the idea of playing matchmaker, but he wanted to give it one last try before he called it quits. His desperation, however, wasn't because it would be hard to find a matching suitor for Erma, Adkins just thought that Stan was the perfect man for his sister in all aspects.

Adkins had little to no idea whether Stan was too embarrassed to turn him down again or not, but fortunately he managed to get his approval in the end.

After both Erma and Stan had met each other, it was very obvious that Stan was smitten by Erma.

Even Adkins could tell. Besides, how could anyone dislike Erma? The answer was no. No one could dislike the ever adorable Erma.

Tugging at his sleeve, Erma forced Stan to sit back in his seat and whispered, "Tell me the truth. Are you trying to screw me over because of some revenge?"

"Calm down. I'm not that petty,"

Stan said with a doting smile.

And just like that, the two of them got engaged.

One their first date, Erma tried to convince Stan by speaking ill of herself in hopes that the man would run away from her. "Listen to me! I am the little princess of my family and the apple of everyone's eye. Since you want to marry me, I think you should know that it takes more than five servants to take care of me.

I'm a clingy woman, so you'll have to get used to having me around all the time.

We both know our roles. Since I'm a woman and you're a man, I'll take care of all the money you make.

After the wedding, I will be the only woman allowed in your car. In fact, you might as well stick a label on the back that says 'Property of Erma Huo.'

I don't like carrots, mutton, pork, coriander and all Western food, so the chef at home must know how to cook Chinese food.

I won't..." She deliberately made it sound like a never-ending list so that Stan would lose his patience.

However, Stan nodded without once showing annoyance. "Okay, I can deal with all of that." 'What? Why is he being so nice?' Erma was stunned. She had no choice but to continue, "Also, I am not a big fan of being lonely. If you are busy every day and can't keep me company, I will cheat on you."

The man was still calm after hearing her words. "I know who you are. You don't have to come up with reasons for me to hate you. If you end up cheating on me one day, that too will be my shortcoming. It would mean that I haven't done enough. Anyway, right now, you just need to think about what kind of wedding you want, so that I can prepare everything down to the smallest detail." Erma sighed helplessly. All her efforts were in vain.
