Chapter 14
Alessandra had the sensation that her entire face was flushed. “Pervert! Rude! Oh, my goodness, auntie…!” She screamed for help and was embarrassed by calling his mother.
However, Cade just started laughing out loud.
She clenched her jaw in annoyance and clenched her teeth. “You are such a bastard, Cade! I despise you with all my being! Are you going to lock me up in this room, or am I going to give you a good slap?” She is making a threat to him.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
The room was completely occupied by Cade’s infectious laughter. And what is it about his laugh that makes it sound so… seductive? Is she completely deranged at this point?
She inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly. “Cade, you are aware that I have an appointment at the pet store today. A member of my team is currently taking a day off for rest,” she informed him.
“Oh, Alessandra, don’t you worry about a thing. I have already given my sister a call and informed her that you are unable to visit the pet store today. We are going to have a conversation about what has been going on with us.” His expression changed abruptly to one of seriousness.
She made an effort to swallow hard. “Is there anything more that you would like to discuss with me?”
“I want you to know that I will hold accountable for what transpired between us and that I will marry you. I want you to know that I will marry you.”
Oh, dear God, now she is fully aware that they will be having a serious discussion from this point on.
He gazed intently into her eyes. It wasn’t until just now that she understood how lovely they were. Cade’s eyes are a rich brown color, and his eyelashes are lengthy. He didn’t glance at her eyes.
“W-We don’t have to talk about it, Cade,” She finally managed to say.
Alessandra was unable to decipher the expression that he was wearing on his face. “We are going to talk about it, Alessandra, and we are going to be married regardless of whether or not you like the idea.”
“Why? Because of what your mother and father told you? Come on, Cade. Don’t act like such a conservative guy! The 21st century has long since arrived. I just so happened to give it to you, but there are other ways in which women will lose their virginity. But you should know that I really am giving it to your half-brother!” She did not intend to explode, but when it comes to Cade, she is losing all of her patience. She did not want to explode.
It does not appear that he is moved in any way by the things that she has just stated. “Listen, Alessandra, I just wanted to let you know that I’m not sorry for anything that happened between us. It was predestined to happen. We were. And what type of woman do you think you are that the fact that my parents made me responsible to you is the sole reason why I only wanted to marry you and not another woman? I’ve reached the age when I don’t need anyone else to tell me what to do because I can make decisions for myself. Do not ever think that way about me since I can defy their directives if I so choose.” He stated it dispassionately.
Because he was standing too close to her, she had the impression that she couldn’t breathe, so she pushed him gently. She was aware of the rapid hammering of her heart. He grasped her shoulder.
“We shouldn’t be married, Cade. What occurred between us is completely nonsense. Let’s just forget about it.” She stated it in a manner that lacked passion.
The expression on his face changed, and he released his grip on her shoulders. “Okay. Just so you know, I’m going to let my parents know that all of this is just your plan. that you have evil intentions for my brother. You’ll experience joy in that way.” Cade reacted by turning his back on her.
She exhaled loudly. Then, she reached out and grasped his arm. “What? Are you crazy? Don’t tell them, would you?” She pleaded with a shaking voice.
He did not respond to her but instead looked directly at her face. “I-I don’t want them to be furious at me, Cade. Please don’t make them mad. Because there’s no way I can change the way Caleb thinks about me or else he’ll get angry with me. He will avoid coming into contact with me. It is not something I want. It would be easier for me to accept that he won’t love me than it would be to concede that we would never communicate again. And I am certain that his fiancee will make fun of me,” The very last word that she uttered was highlighted in some way.
“You really would go to any lengths for my brother, huh?” Alessandra was baffled by Cade’s use of tone, and she was unable to identify it.
“I… I will do anything for him,” she responded. “I will go as far as to marry you.” She had a commanding voice.
Will she give up on Caleb now that this has happened? But he came to her rescue. Didn’t the wise old man warn her that if she didn’t meet her “destined man,” she’d be doomed to a life of torment?
She looked into the pair of gray eyes he had. “Cade, I am going to marry you. But, it will only be in effect for a year. After that, we will proceed with the filing of an annulment so that we may put an end to this matter. After that, we might tell them lies,” she said, her tone more adamant than before.
Even now, Cade maintained his poker face look. “What exactly are we going to say to everyone when a year has passed, huh?”
She appeared to be shrugging her shoulders. She does not yet know. “You’ll have no trouble with it this time, Cade. Let’s just suppose that both you and I formed a snap judgment about something. That we can’t work together because our personalities are too different. I may be able to win Caleb over after we are married. After all, we aren’t able to hold a joint wedding with the two of them,”
Cade is merely sitting there and listening to her. She carried on further. “Cade, you have complete autonomy to decide how you want to spend the rest of your life. So am I. There is no obligation for us to worry for one another. We won’t be married, it is just on paper. That sums it up nicely. Deal?”
It didn’t take him more than a few seconds to respond to her question. “Deal,”
