Chapter 189 Let Me Think It Over

Kneeling on the floor for a long time without getting any response from Lea, Henry was patient. He was not at all anxious or angry, given that she must have been processing the sudden proposal. "I won't force you to accept, but I do want that you'll give me a chance to take care of the both of you."

The corners of her lips twitched. She turned away, agitated from the entire situation.

As if he was able to read her mind, Henry softened his face. "Lea, let's get married and start our own family."

His promise was so perfect that she could already see it painted at the back of her mind.

In the near future, they would have their wedding and get a home of their own. Their home would be warmly lit as a familiar cartoon would echo around the household. Toys would be scattered all over the sofa and the carpet.

The doorbell would ring and she would run to get the door.

A man with a dapper suit and gold-rimmed glasses would stand in front of her with a smile. He would carry the baby

before placing it back into her arms. "Change his diaper," he would mention, frowning.

The baby would burst into tears as the disgusting smell would waft around her...

Lea finally snapped out of it as she stared grimly at the ring. "Let me think it over, okay?"

Although

was pregnant that he finally plucked up the courage to ask her to marry him.

'We have a baby now. Isn't that enough reason to want to get married?'

It was the perfect excuse for him to propose,

yet it seemed that it had created even more tension between them.

Henry began to tell Jack the entire story as he drank more and more.

He didn't even know why he was telling Jack all of this.

He had more experience in women than his friend.

Except for his one-night stands, Jack only had two women in his life.

Celine and Rachel.

Not to mention the fact that he didn't even know how to handle them.

In fact, it was probably Jack who needed help more than he did.

Henry knew for a fact that out of all the women he had with him,

Lea was the one who had affected him the most. Lea was the only one in his mind

from the moment he had met her.

It seemed that the only way to get her trust was to also get Rachel by his side.

Henry thought that his plan was brilliant, but it seemed reality had other things in mind.

Although Jack was a great listener, he wasn't great at giving advice. "Just wait for her to make a decision." He shrugged. "Why are you in such a hurry anyway?"

Henry sighed. "Because she might not accept it at the end of the day."
