Chapter 86 Marry You

Being held by Andrew was a different feeling for Ashley. She was enveloped in his warm breath and her heart was racing. Uneasy about these feelings arising within her, she struggled against him and tried to disentangle herself from his embrace. But she was too weak to push away this big, strong man.

Andrew, on the other hand, was lost in his thoughts. When she tried to break free from his strong grip, he tightened the hug instinctively. If it had been possible, he would have glued her to his body, as he was so desperate to be with her every second of the day.

When he came to his senses, he said in a hoarse voice, "Don't move. I want to hug you." She didn't know what happened to him but his voice told her that he was exhausted.

She felt sorry for him. 'If my hug helps you to relax, I don't mind you hugging me, ' thought a generous Ashley.

One minute passed, then another. After a long time, when she was almost sleepy, he finally loosened his grip and let her go.

As soon as the cool wind hit her, she snapped out of the daze.

Although he let her go, his hand remained on her shoulder. He was staring at her affectionately.

His unflinching gaze made her nervous and her heart raced uncontrollably. She looked away to avoid making eye contact with him.

"What … what's the matter?" she stuttered.

He shook his head in reply.

Looking at his hand on her shoulder, she said, "Could you take your hand off?"

She felt awkward talking to him while his hand was on her shoulder.

"Did you miss me?" He asked, choosing to answer her question with another question. His eyes told her that he was looking for a positive answer.

She didn't notice his expression but his ears were so red that they looked like they might bleed if you twisted them. His fists were clenched and he stared unblinkingly at her.

"Huh?" Ashley looked up at Andrew with a confused look.

'Miss him?

Why would I miss him? We are not even friends, ' she thought.

Judging by her expression, he knew what her answer was. His face darkened and there was sadness written in his ey

been chasing her, why would he bother driving her home that day? Why would he invite her to dinner? Why would he care about everything related to her?

When he saw her talking to her ex-boyfriend, he was jealous and angry. When he happened to see her having a blind date, he was mad.

He was the president of the Lu Group. His time was precious. Yet, he wanted to fit two days into 24 hours so that he could finish his work to be with her.

Hearing his words, she backed away from him, with one hand covering her mouth and the other pointed at him. It was too dark to judge her expression now. Was she surprised? Or she was frightened by his rude behavior?

'He kissed me!

Wow, he actually kissed me!

I can't believe it!

And what did he say?

That he was chasing me?

Chasing me? Could it be true?'

She couldn't believe what had happened. Her mind went blank, as she tried to figure out his intentions. She was in a complete mess. It was impossible for her to deal with the situation rationally.

Suddenly she remembered that Peggy had said she would return her jade pendant on the condition that she got married within a week.

Ashley looked up at the handsome man before her and asked, "Will you marry me?" The words were out of her mouth before she could realize what she said. She admitted to herself that it was better to marry him rather than a complete stranger.
