Relentless Pursuit After Divorce

Chapter 2232: Chapter 2232: Young Love, So Sweet (145)

And she, well, she’s taken this rightful position.

But if he ever meets a girl he likes in the future, it wouldn’t be good for her to hold onto this position.

Maybe he’d even start to resent and dislike her because of this, and she’d end up like the cannon fodder fiancée in a romance novel.

"What do you mean, what to do? I have a fiancée, so how could I like another girl?"

William Wilson frowned at her, always feeling that she never really took this marriage to heart.

It’s purely because he is her idol and coincidentally there’s this engagement, so she didn’t refuse.

Laura Jones thought William Wilson was right; since he has a fiancée, of course, he should bear this responsibility and not be fickle.

That’s the principle, but Laura always felt it somehow didn’t apply to William Wilson.

But she didn’t know how to argue against him.

Finally, she asked:

"Do you like me then? What if..."

"I do."

Before Laura could finish her sentence, she was taken aback by William Wilson’s firm answer.

"..."

She stared at William with a bewildered look, almost thinking she had heard it wrong.

But suddenly being told earnestly by her idol that he liked her, Laura found her ears were starting to burn uncontrollably.

"I mean, do you like..."

"I do."

William interrupted her again with his firm reply, and the look in his eyes became deeper and more intense.

"I’m saying, I like you, really like you, so I won’t call off the engagement, and I won’t be angry about it. Do you understand?"

William finished this in one breath, and after saying it, he felt a bit regretful, regretting that he was too hasty, fearing his directness might scare her.

But Laura just stared at him in shock for quite a while before nodding absent-mindedly, "Yes... understood."

The fists that William had clenched tightly loosened a bit, but his nerves were still tense, "So, will you still think about breaking off the engagement? If you meet a guy you like in the future, will you want to call it off?"

He threw back the question Laura had asked him earlier.

Actually, compared to Laura, he was the one who should be more anxious.

He clearly felt that the little girl didn’t have deep feelings for him.

"No, I’m also a responsible person, how could I do such a thing as breaking faith?"

Laura replied in a serious manner.

William felt helpless before Laura’s straightforward attitude.

He knew very well, the things she said had nothing to do with whether she liked him or not.

However, for having made progress to this point, William felt he’d improved quite a bit.

In the end, he didn’t push further, just clutching his forehead in resignation:

"Alright, then it’s settled. Let’s go back to Mr. Turnbaugh, he’s waiting for you."

"Oh, okay."

Laura nodded, all the way she had worried about William getting angry upon learning of the marriage, but ended up hearing him say he likes her. She felt relieved, and a bit pleased.

Trying hard to suppress the upturning corners of her mouth, she quickly turned around. Just as she took a step, William pulled her back again.

"Remember, you’re my fiancée now, you can’t fancy other guys."

Hearing the words "fiancée," Laura felt extremely delighted in her heart, and as William said that, she immediately nodded in agreement.
