Chapter 30 More Coquettish

Book:Sweet Addiction Published:2024-5-1

She looked at herself, and found nothing strange, except for the dull tone of her clothes, so she went straight into the room. She didn’t want to make the atmosphere of the last meal with Ronan too embarrassing.
“Hello. Captain Nicholson, Sylvie,” Lachlan Nicholson, who was not wearing his military uniform, seemed to be a different person in a suit. Compared with yesterday, he had a different manner today. Undoubtedly, he was still very handsome, and Sylvie Collins, who sat next to him in a small pink dress, was even more coquettish.
“Halle, please sit down. Ronan never brought his girlfriend to dinner with me. This shows that he values you very much.” Lachlan Nicholson, who had taken off his suit, spoke casually, but Halle can still hear the overtones.
Ronan said it was Lachlan Nicholson who invited the two of them for dinner, but it seemed that it was not true now. As she was about to talk, Ronan had already made the seat for her gentlemanly, “Lachlan, didn’t you say Sylvie will come today, so of course I have to bring a female companion to accompany her.” Ronan made everything natural.
“Really?” Lachlan Nicholson’s fingers tapped on the table as if he were playing a piano. Although his tone was relaxed, he was obviously suspicious.
“Of course. Now serve the dishes.” With a beckoning, Ronan ordered the waiter to serve the dishes, which also changed the subject directly.
Halle was a little confused. Seeing the dishes coming up, she didn’t want to eat. She just randomly picked the two dishes in front of her and ate a few bites. Ronan and Lachlan seemed happy chatting with each other.
“Lachlan, when is it?”
“Next Sunday, so I have to introduce Sylvie first, otherwise you, my childhood friend, will definitely not be there.”
They turned out to be childhood friends. It seemed that she really misunderstood. Originally, she thought that Ronan and Lachlan Nicholson were… that kind of relationship. She was wrong.
“Okay, I will definitely be there.”
“Then Halle will be there too.” Looking at Halle, Lachlan’s eyes continued to flicker with signals that she could not understand. She didn’t understand what that meant.
“I…”
“Okay.” Just when Halle was about to refuse, Ronan directly accepted the offer to her. She wanted to say something, but Ronan continued, “Halle, you have finished the exam, so you should go back to the apartment instead of staying at the school tonight.”
The chopsticks in her hand almost fell off. What did Ronan mean when he asked her in front of people? If she didn’t agree, it was really difficult to refuse, but if she agreed, won’t she leave sooner or later?
Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. She really didn’t want to endure that anymore, “Ronan, let’s talk about it tomorrow, because I will prepare for the graduation thesis defense tonight.”
“Oh, okay…” His ending sound was long and his tone was a little uncomfortable, as if he didn’t expect that she would reject him in front of others, but he never said anything anymore. Suddenly the atmosphere dropped to freezing point, and even Lachlan rarely spoke.
“Halle, about what happened in the hospital that day, I…”
She panicked, thinking that he had guessed something, and hurriedly said, “I still have an appointment, you must excuse me now.”
“Halle, wait…” he shouted in a low voice behind her. She suddenly thought of the two agreements in her pocket.
Anyway, she and he didn’t get any marriage certificate, so all that was just for Grandpa. Halle stopped and turned around, just as Ronan had already caught up with her. Boom! She crashed into him. Maybe it was because he was chasing in a hurry, and his inertia made her immediately crash into his chest, “Ah…” she subconsciously cried, and really didn’t expect such a crash.
A slender hand clasped her waist, and he held her even closer to him, “Get in the car, I will take you to school.” Regardless of whether she agreed or not, he held her and walked towards his black BMW.
The two agreements were still in the palms of her hands, but they became so hot at the moment, “Ronan, I just…” She just turned around, and wanted to return the agreement to him, or they could also tear the agreement, because she knew what he was going to say to her.
With his mouth close to her ears, he walked towards BMW and whispered, “Halle, you are now my wife.”
She didn’t know what he was going to do, but she was already sitting in the back seat of the car. He drove away quickly. But for Halle, the destination was unknown.
She sat in the car, and she felt a bit upset, since she found it harder and harder for her to understand him. As if seeing her nervous, he glanced at the rearview mirror and whispered, “Halle, let’s get a marriage certificate.”
“Ah… what did you say?” Looking up at his profile, she wondered if she had heard him wrong. What did he want to… get a marriage certificate?
Looking at him in amazement, she just felt that she had misheard.
The car continued on the road. The funeral ceremony in the morning followed by lunch with Lachlan Nicholson, so there was plenty of time to get the marriage certificate at this moment.
“Let’s get a marriage certificate together.” Ronan repeated calmly.
“Are you willing?” Her heart throbbed, was he really going to marry her? She seemed to be dreaming, she must be.
“Yes.”
Listening to his simple answer, her mouth opened wider and wider. The agreement in her hand was wrinkled tightly by her, “Then as for these agreements…” She raised the agreement to him with a trembling hand.
“Give it to me.” He took it with one hand and randomly stuffed it into a box in the car, as if it were two pieces of waste paper.
She still didn’t believe that this would be true. If it was true, would she live with him, then she would just give birth to his child?
Suddenly, she really wanted to tell him that she was pregnant with his child, “Ronan, I… I already…”
“Ding…” His cell phone rang, “Evelyn, what’s the matter?”
Was Evelyn also his women? While listening, what Halle had just said was held back like this.
“Why are you so careless, wait for me, I’ll be there soon.” After quickly speaking, he hung up the phone. The car stopped by the roadside, “Halle, sorry, I have an urgent matter to deal with. I will pick you up tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to get the marriage certificate.”
She nodded slightly, but she didn’t even know what this nod meant.
Another yes?
Just when she really thought he would give her children a happy family, he suddenly left her on the side of the road for a woman named Evelyn.
Ugh, she really shouldn’t be tempted. He had told her that she was not allowed to fall in love with him. How could she forget it?
She was expecting it again.
She was wrong.
She hurriedly opened the car door, and when she stepped out with one foot, her heart was throbbing. She was standing on the crosswalk with her backpack, and the BMW beside her did not stop for any longer. Ronan left quickly without even saying a word. Listening to the harsh sound of the car driving away, Halle forced herself not to look back, but after standing only for a while, she couldn’t help turning her head, and her eyes began to chase the car.
She was so useless, even though he left her behind, she began to miss him for no reason.
For a long time, until the car completely disappeared from her sight, Halle turned and walked towards the bus stop. Shaking her head, she could no longer dream unrealistic dreams. Baby, Mom really wanted to give you happiness.
However, your daddy still didn’t want it.
She did not expect that Ronan would come to pick her up. She just treated it as a joke from him, how could he get a marriage certificate with her?
This was impossible.
But then she felt uneasy all night and all day.
When it was getting dark, Halle had a headache. The little guy was tossing her, so she went to bed early. She was sleepy.
She fell asleep soon, and was sleeping soundly, but suddenly she felt someone pushing her on her shoulder. Frowning, Halle said impatiently, “Milena, go away, I’m so sleepy.”
“Halle, someone has come to pick you up.”
“Oh.” She turned over as if she hadn’t heard her and continued to sleep. She was really sleepy, and she had been especially lethargic recently.
“Halle, someone really came to pick you up. That person is not Ronan, but he also drove a black BMW. Halle, you are so popular now.”
She couldn’t sleep anymore, listening to Milena’s words alone has made her sober. She turned to Milena in a daze, “Is there anyone with a black BMW coming to pick up me?”
“Yes, and definitely not Ronan. I think this man is more attractive than Ronan. Halle, tell me, who is he?”
“I don’t know. Are you dreaming?” Except for Ronan, no one she knew could afford to drive a BMW.
“I really didn’t dream. The man is white and noble like a lotus flower. Halle, if you don’t like him, can you introduce him to me?”
Halle immediately sat up. She remembered, Agnes Stone said that Jaiden Hill would come and pick her up to the Hill’s for dinner today, but she really forgot. She hurriedly picked up her coat, and did not want the the appearance of Jaiden Hill to make her life complicated.
“Halle, wait for me. If you don’t like him, please introduce him to me. You don’t seem to like this type, but I like it…” Milena was still talking, and kept talking.
Halle came to the gate of the school without saying a word. Sure enough, there was a black BMW parked that was exactly the same as Ronan’s, waxed only recently and as beautiful as a leopard. In front of the car, Jaiden Hill stood quietly, and his white suit against the black body of his car made him more like a slender and proud lotus.
She really didn’t understand why he liked him, and she walked to him quickly, “Jaiden Hill, I didn’t promise my mother to go to your house for dinner. That was her wishful thinking. And she hung up my phone. Sorry, Please go back first. I’m a little uncomfortable, and I want to take a rest now.” After speaking, she turned and left.
