The water swirled as he tightened his auns around me
Then, Simon turned his face to the side and tried to push me away. “Jessica, this isn’t a joke.”
“He’s saying no, but his body is saying otherwise.”
“Enough chatter, just get down to it! –
Seeing that I had no intention of backing away, Simon’s eyes darkened. He leaned forward dangerously and whispered in my ear. “There’s still time to regret this,

Back then, his granulather, Andrew Bradshaw, was very fond of me as well. He once verbally agreed to have Lucas marry me when we grew up.
Thad always believed that marrying Lucas, having lids, and spending the rest of my life with him was predestined.
Later, Bradshaw Corporation got into a financial crisis, so Lucas went abroad to handle it.
Before he left, he drove his sports car over to see me. He had ruffled my hair and gave me a reassuring smile, telling me to walt for him. He told me that he would propose to me with a diamond ring when he retumed.
