Chapter 176 I Can't Marry You

Determined, York put the ring on her finger and gave her a gentle kiss. "I love you, Leona. Will you marry me?"

Hearing this, Leona's heart skipped a beat. What happened? How did he end up like this? It was a little different from her imagination.

Then she slightly bent her finger and stopped him from putting a ring on her fourth finger. She looked at York in astonishment and asked, "what are you doing, York?"

York tapped her small nose with one hand and said with a gentle smile, "silly girl, don't you see that I'm proposing? We have reached this point, and we should get married next. But if you are not ready, we can get engaged first. I have to prepare well for your wedding in the next century. I want the whole world to know that Leona is my wife!"

At this time, York had already decided on how to prepare for the wedding. And Eden served as the ring bearer at his wedding with Leona.

At the same time, he grabbed Leona's hand, put it on his mouth and kissed it gently. Then he put the diamond ring on her finger.

However, her fingers bent to stop him from putting the ring on. She said anxiously, "I'm sorry, York. I can't marry you!"

York frowned and looked at her confusedly. They had already gone so far, but Leona still refused to marry him. What did she mean?

"Why? Leona..." Asked York confusedly.

Afraid of hurting his feelings, Leona was careful to find an appropriate way to avoid being sensitive, so she said softly, "York, I can give myself to you, but I can't marry you. Let's keep a relationship like this, okay? If we keep our relationship in the open, you are still Eden's god father. I will leave at any time if you meet someone who really wants to spend the rest of your life with me!"

Leona meant that she would rather be his secret wife than his open and aboveboard wife? York couldn't believe this.

York was shocked by her thought, but then he was filled with rage. 'Who does she think he is? What does she take me for?' Did she have to humiliate herself like this?

At that moment, York's face darkened. It was the first time that he had talked to her in such an attitude. He held back his anger and said word by word, "Leona, I didn't hear what you said. Say it again!"

The temperature in the room quickly decreased. Leona could see that York was very angry at this time, but she had no choice. Because it was the best choice for him to face it.

Also, it didn't break her promise to Arthur.

Besides, York had already got her, and he could be together with his other half at any time. How could he get such benefits?

Hearing that, Leona took a deep breath and looked him in the eye and said, "Let's maintain such a bad relationship, so that it won't affect your future. Once you meet the person who is worth your life, I wil

ain. Besides, even if she went to see him, he wouldn't promise her unconditionally as before.

Then, Leona squatted down and held Eden in her arms. Touching his soft hair, she said, "You're a good boy. Uncle York is very busy. Mommy will pick you up from the kindergarten tonight, okay?"

Hearing that York couldn't pick him up, York frowned. Obviously, he was a little unhappy, but he obediently nodded and said, "Okay, but mommy has to remind daddy that he will take me to attend parent-child activities this Saturday!"

With a suspicious look on her face, Leona asked. She didn't know anything about parent-child activities at all. It was not until Eden told her that their kindergarten asked their parents to attend parent-child activities on Saturday that Leona finally knew about it.

Looking at her son's face which was full of expectations, Leona felt very upset. Her son wanted to have a father too much, and the relationship between him and York was very deep. It was hard for him to accept the fact that York was no longer his god father in the future.

"I see. But Uncle Zhao is very busy these days. If he can't come to the parent-child activity with Eden, Mommy will keep you company, okay?" It was Saturday in two days. If York didn't show up, Eden must be very sad. She had to take precautions.

However, to her surprise, Eden looked at her with a firm look on his face, and said with a great deal of confidence, "no, mom. Dad told me that a man must keep his promise. He promised Eden, and he would not break his promise!"

Looking at her son with a headache, Leona could only say casually, "well, hurry up to clean up, or you will be late for school again!"

It took a long time for her to get to the kindergarten, and then she walked towards her company. As soon as she passed, a luxury limousine swept past her where Greg was in.
