Chapter 1548 Father
Harvey rushed into the room, stared at both women, and announced seriously, ‘‘Let’s get married, Sonia.’‘
Sonia stared at him, flabbergasted. What did he just say? Did he say he wants to marry me?
Arielle narrowed her eyes and glanced back and forth between the two. Suddenly, she realized what was going on. It seems like fate isn’t something that can be avoided. Who would’ve thought the person Sonia had a one-night stand with was Harvey? So this is who he meant.
A faint smile appeared on her face. It seems like Sonia’s definitely going to keep the baby. It’s quite a good arrangement. Harvey is a good man, and Sonia’s a good woman. If both of them married each other, it would be a happily ever after.
‘‘M-Marriage?’‘ Sonia stared at Harvey with shock. We only had a one-night stand! We don’t know anything about each other at all, nor do we have feelings for each other. Isn’t it too hasty to suggest marriage right now? Arielle told me before that I have to marry someone who likes me and who I also like. If not, I should marry a man loyal only to me. Otherwise, my future will be a miserable one.
‘‘Yes, marriage.’‘ He stared at her and uttered seriously, ‘‘I won’t let you regret marrying me.’‘
A plan was already laid out in his mind. If Sonia agreed to marry him, he would devote himself to her. He would give her all the love and care he could muster, thus making sure she would never regret marrying him.
Sonia gazed at his serious expression. To be honest, if Arielle can be friends with him, that means he must be a good person. However, his suggestion of marriage is too hasty.
‘‘Arielle told me before that if I’m to marry someone, I should do it with someone I like and who likes me. That person should also be completely loyal to me. Otherwise, my future will be a miserable one.’‘ She paused. ‘‘This is technically the first time we formally meet. We don’t understand each other, and we certainly don’t know if we even like each other. It’s too hasty bringing up marriage now.’‘
Arielle, who was currently being ignored by the couple, nodded subconsciously when she heard that. That’s exactly what I told her. I’m glad she understood it.
Harvey thought about it and found that line of reasoning to be logical.
Sure, he kind of liked her, but he didn’t really love her.
‘‘Then how about we try going out with each other first? If we end up liking each other, we’ll get married. What do you think?’‘ He stared at her deeply as he suggested in a soft tone.
Sonia remained silent for a second before replying, ‘‘One month. We’ll date for one month. If we still don’t love each other and have no intention of taking our relationship to the next stage by then, I’ll abort the child.’‘
By the end of that month, the child would be three months old. If they couldn’t accept each other by then, she would abort the child because she believed she had no ability to raise the baby alone, even though it would make her feel quite remorseful.
Harvey nodded. That’s not a bad suggestion. As long as she’s willing to give me a chance, I’m good with it.
Once the matter was dealt with, Arielle asked him to send Sonia back. On the way back, he learned Sonia was experiencing morning sickness. Thus, he intentionally bought a bunch of dried fruits for her. Just as she arrived at the campus and took two steps forward, someone grabbed her arm.
Her expression darkened when she saw who it was.
