Chapter 36

  “Do you want us to get married now? We can plan about it now—if you want. I am just waiting for you to get ready. I don’t want you to feel like I am rushing things between us.”

  “It sounded rushed to me, love,” she replied. The reason was valid, but it sounded like he was constrained. Thus, it is unacceptable for her.

  He blinked his eyes thrice as Eunice’s face plastered a disappointed reaction. He is not trying to make it sounded that way. He held her hand and touched her palm to make her feel comfortable. It is not that he never thought of marrying her. He just wants to make sure she is already ready to set foot in a new home once he asked for her hand. Seeing her still so attached to her family just simply means she can’t be away from them yet.

  She gasped. What supposed to be is just a massage makes her feel a different kind of craving. She gripped on his hand to stop him.
