Chapter 1444
Joel once again stepped into the ward. He said, "Vanessa, Mr. Kyle said that as long as you agree to marry him, you can have anything you want. Even if you want the moon in the sky, he will find ways to get it for you."
Vanessa hid under the blanket and said sullenly, "I only want him to stop talking about this, and don't you mention it again too. Well just pretend that nothing has happened today, okay?"
Seeing that Vanessa was this persistent, Joel knew that there was nothing he could do to change her mind. He tried to ask again, "Vanessa, is it because Mr. Kyle didn't do the proposal himself? But you know Mr. Kyle's character, don't you? Even if he doesn't tell you, he does love you."
"No, that's not the reason," Vanessa answered.
Joel continued to ask, "What is it then? Can you please give me a clear answer, so that I can give Mr. Kyle a clear explanation? Else, he's going to ask me to continue to pester you."
"There's no reason for it," Vanessa said. "I just don't want to marry him. He's not my ideal husband."
Joel asked, "What's your ideal husband like then?"
Vanessa smiled and said, "He should be someone humorous and talkative, and someone who can cheer me up. It doesn't matter to me whether he is rich or handsome."
Joel sighed, "That's the total opposite of Mr. Kyle. What's wrong with being rich and handsome? Are you not in your right mind, Vanessa?"
If it was possible, Joel really wanted to open Vanessa's head and see if her brain was working well. There were so many women in this world who would die for the chance of getting noticed by Julien and even wanted to marry him. However, Julien had never even taken a glance at them. But why was Vanessa not cherishing such a rare opportunity?
He said again, "Vanessa, you should really reconsider it. If you let this opportunity slip through your fingers this time, there won't be a second chance in the future. It will be too late to regret by then."
Vanessa did not want to explain further, so she said, "Joel, please tell Mr. Kyle that I'll never marry him unless he becomes a humorous guy."
Joel knew that Vanessa was an obstinate person, so he said, "Alright, then. Since you've decided on it, I won't try to persuade you anymore. I'll go relay the message to Mr. Kyle right away."
Joel walked out of the ward. Judging from Julien's expression, he probably heard what Vanessa had just said, "Mr. Kyle, I'm sure that you've heard what Vanessa had just said. It's about you, not me."
Without saying a word, Julien gave Joel a cold glance and left.
Joel was at a loss for words.
What did Julien mean by this?
Did he want Joel to continue pestering Vanessa?
But there was no point for him to keep pestering Vanessa. He was not the one who wanted to marry her.
To tell the truth, he had lived for nearly 40 years, and he had seen all kinds of marriage proposals. However, he had never seen a man who would ask someone else to do the proposal on his behalf. It really would not be a surprise if a man like Julien happened to stay single for his entire life.
However, his boss was the new director of Rovio. Not to mention how rich he was, his appearance alone was enough to make many women fall for him.
Joel was deeply troubled by this matter when he saw Julien pushing a flower cart over. Joel's eyes widened in surprise. It turned out that Julien did have something else planned out.
Julien pushed the door open, pushed the flower cart into the ward, and closed the door. Joel really wanted to put his ear on the door to eavesdrop on them, but he did not have the courage to do so.
In the ward.
Vanessa's entire body was completely buried under the blanket. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she thought that it was Joel again, so she said, "Joel, I've already made it clear to you that I won't marry him."
"Do you hate me that much?"
Julien's cold voice sounded in Vanessa's ears, causing Vanessa to sit up in an instant. "Why are you here?"
Julien was still as indifferent as ever when he asked, "Why are you not willing to marry me?"
Vanessa wanted to marry him. She really wanted to, but she felt like she didn't deserve him, and she did not have the right to do so.
However, Vanessa could not say these words to Julien. Like always, she put on an indifferent smile and said, "Because I don't want to, so I don't want to marry you. There's no reason for it."
Julien asked, "What do I have to do for you to marry me?"
Vanessa laughed. "There's nothing you can do."
Julien clenched his fists and tried to control his anger. He said, "Joel has already relayed my message to you. As long as you're willing to marry me, you can make any requests you like."
Vanessa blinked at him and smiled innocently. "Mr. Kyle, then tell me, why do you want to marry me?"
Julien kept quiet.
Vanessa said again, "Look, you don't even know why you want to marry me, so why are you saying that you want to marry me? You might end up regretting a few days after marrying me, and then you'll divorce me. I'm still young. I can find someone who wants to marry me at any time. If I marry you and get divorced, I'll then become a divorcee. At that time, it won't be easy for me to find someone that is willing to marry me. Don't you think so, my dear Mr. Kyle?"
Julien said solemnly, "There was no one in the Kyle family who has ever gotten a divorce. It hasn't happened in the past, and it won't happen in the future."
Vanessa asked, "So are you trying to say that because your elders haven't had a divorce that you are willing to force yourself to spend the rest of your life with a woman you don't love?"
Julien roared, "Vanessa Love!"
Vanessa stopped smiling and said with a serious face, "Julien, I don't know why you've decided to marry me out of a sudden. To be honest, I'm really surprised when I heard that, but I began to feel scared after that. I know my place very well. I'm not worthy of you and I don't want to live in fear for the rest of my life. I just want to find a man from the same world as me, and a man who loves me and dotes on me. I just want to spend the rest of my life peacefully."
Julien clenched his fists and gritted teeth as he asked, "Vanessa, who else do you want to marry except me?"
Vanessa gave him another bright smile. "Anyone but you."
Julien was speechless.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Vanessa continued, "If you still treat me as a person, then please respect my decision. I will really appreciate it if you can stop talking about marrying me."
Julien stared at her. Seeing the determination in her eyes, he knew that this woman really had not thought of marrying him, she was not just playing hard to get. He thought that he had done everything he could, but why was this woman still unwilling to return to his side?
Vanessa said, "I really think that it's the best for both of us that our relationship stays this way. Let's not talk about marriage ever again, okay?"
Julien looked at her smiling face and thought that it was such an eye sore at that moment. He knew that if he were to stay there any longer, he probably would have strangled her to death. Hence, before he had lost his mind and killed her, Julien turned on his heels and strode out of the ward.
