Chapter 18

Catherine Ashton

"Catherine? Are you awake?" I heard Jacob asking me through the door.

"Yeah. Come in." I said and he walked inside.

"It's so dark." He commented but I ignored him. It's almost midnight and he just got home from the dinner with his grandpa. I turned on the lights beside the bed and I can see him still wearing his suit. He sat beside the bed and looked at me.

"How are you feeling?" He asked.

"A little better." I said.

"You were crying huh?" I was speechless, how did he know? He took the ring from the table beside the bed and he looked at it.

"Can you tell me why?" He asked in an unreadable tone.

"I don't think I want this arrange marriage, you and I won't be happy. Don't you think?"

"But it was your idea in the first place to continue this." He said and I sighed.

"Because I thought everything will be okay." I said and he looked at me.
