Nicole looks at Noah with her head tilted for a while. Then, she says in surprise, "It’s you!"
Then she turns her head, looks at me apologetically and says, "I’m sorry I belittled you at that time. I
hope it doesn’t affect your relationship."
I stand there, feeling very embarrassed.
I didn’t expect Noah would say such a thing at this time.
If I expose this lie now, he’ll be embarrassed.
I restrain myself from telling the truth. I just stand there silently. Noah gets out of bed and says to
Nicole, "Did you just say you were going to have dinner? I’m hungry, too. Let’s eat together."
Did he hear that?
Did he wake up long ago?
Or has he not been asleep at all?
Nicole nods and walks with us in the direction of the restaurant.
Noah orders the food. He is afraid that I will not be full, so he orders several more dishes. Nicole
always says Noah is very considerate and that I have a good fiance.
I just smile politely but say nothing.
We eat for a while, and then I see Frances and Whitney coming in from the outside.
Because I’m facing the door, they also see me as soon as they come in.
Whitney glances at me, and then disdainfully glances at Noah sitting next to me.
Frances doesn’t give me a look at all.
They sit directly at the table next to us.
"I reserved a place to take wedding photos, Jane. After we return home, let’s take the wedding photos."
Noah’s voice is not loud. But I’m sure that Frances and Whitney hear his words, because I can’t ignore
Whitney’s playful expression
"If you want to take wedding photos, Milan International is a good choice," Nicole says.
"I think so. I just want to take wedding photos there."
Noah is very happy to hear Nicole’s words.
Maybe every woman has a dream of taking wedding photos in her heart, so Nicole keeps talking with
Noah about the wedding photos.
Then, they talks about marriage and children.
I feel that my endurance has reached the limit.
I don’t want to reject Noah directly because I don’t want to hurt him. If I tell him gently, I think the result
will be better.
I put down my chopsticks, look at Noah seriously and say, "Noah, do your parents know you’re going to
marry me? Have you told them about me? Do you think that once they know about me, they will agree
with you to marry me?"
That’s not the point for me. But that’s the only excuse I can think of. In this way, I can be able to gently
reject Noah.
Noah is stunned for a few seconds, then laughs and says to me, "They can’t stop me from marrying
you. Even if the whole world is against it, I will be with you, so don’t be worried."
Subconsciously, I take a look at Frances. Because his right hand is injured, he can only eat slowly with
his left hand. Before, if he wanted to eat an apple, he would ask me to feed him. But he’s not letting
Whitney feed him now. Am I so easy to be bullied?
Frances is eating slowly and elegantly, and he doesn’t seem to hear us.
I’m doubtful. It’s not Frances’ style.
Why is Frances’ reaction to Noah so calm? This is totally different from his previous attitude. Is it what
Whitney said that make him no longer care about me?
I feel a little sad. I look at Noah and force a smile, "Don’t say that. As long as your parents don’t agree
with you to marry me, there is no future between us."
