Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 414

After dropping Arianne off at the Tremont Estate, Tiffany finally spoke her mind, “Ethan, you should know that I only agreed to your proposal to spare you from being publicly humiliated. I don’t want to get married this quickly. I mentioned this long ago.”

Ethan didn’t seem too surprised by her revelation, but he hadn’t expected her to speak up so soon, “So?”

She took the ring off her finger, “Could we talk about this after I’ve decided to get married? It’s really not what I want right now.”

He curled his lips into a smirk, as if in self-mockery, “You used to push me into getting married, and now it’s the opposite? What changed? I love you more than ever, yet you’ve gradually lost your feelings for me. I admit that it’s all because of me, and I’m trying my best to fix it. But I’m afraid that there might be some unforeseen events, so I’d rather get married first. If you have any doubts or anything you don’t like about me, we can always work on it in the future. All I want is for you to marry me now.”

She lowered her head and bit her lips, “I’m sorry.”

He slammed his foot against the accelerator, growing slightly hysterical, “‘Sorry? Don’t give me that bullsh*t. I don’t want to hear it! Either we get married in a month, or we break it off. That’s more thorough. You’re not unwell, are you? I’ll drop you off at home. You have ten more minutes; think of your answer, very carefully.”

Ten minutes wasn’t a very long time. Ethan turned towards her when he parked the car at her home, downstairs, “Well?”

Her answer remained the same, “I’m not ready to get married right now.”

He smiled and nodded, “Okay, I respect your decision. Consider it as payback for what I’ve owed you. You’ve made me pay the full price now. I was a dick in the past, and you’ve had your revenge in full. We’re even. You should go.” Then he opened a window and lit a cigarette, refusing to look at her any longer.

Tiffany let out a heavy sigh and did not give too much of an explanation. She pushed the door open and got down from the car.

Arianne had no idea how to console her, “I don’t know what to say. You did the right thing back there, and you did the right thing when you explained things very clearly to him too. He was a little extreme. I think that you need to have a proper discussion with each other so that you can better understand each other. If he could take a step back and give you some time, it would be better for both of you. After all, marriage isn’t a game. You have three years’ feelings as your foundation. He shouldn’t have suffocated you like that. You should ask him why he’s so eager to get married.”

Tiffany stared up at the white ceiling, feeling dispirited, “He was afraid of unforeseen events. What could that possibly be? There are only two possibilities — either we get married, or we break up. The ‘unforeseen event’ that he’s so afraid of was brought forward because of how he’s dealt with it. He probably lost control in a fit of rage. I’ll talk to him later. Ari… Do you know? I saw Jackson and his mother at the mall. I never thought that they’d be there too. Jackson’s mother was really nice to me when I went to his house, pretending to be his girlfriend. She must be very disappointed now… I know that it was all fake, but I didn’t want her to see all of that.”

Arianne hadn’t noticed Jackson and Summer at the mall, “They were there too? That must have been awkward… But you don’t have to worry too much about that. It was all an act anyways. Alright, alright. Cheer up. How about I take you to dinner tonight, my treat?”

A bright notion flashed across Tiffany’s mind, “No, my treat. I’ll take you out and we’ll get high. I used to be poor, but now my family’s suddenly come into a plot of land that can be sold off. Life is truly filled with ups and downs. Let me pay for you, just this once. I’ll see you there tonight and we’re not going home until we’re good and drunk!”
