Ethan gave Tiffany a half-smile and asked favonovel.com coldly, “Are you sure you’re not just trying to get me to grovel until you’re satisfied to get back at me? I’ve made it very clear that I admit that I have mistreated you in the past. I’m wearing my heart on my sleeves now when I’m around you. What else do you want me to do? You can torture me or do whatever you want. I wish to have a home. A home that belongs to us.”
“My only condition is to get married. I can’t wait that long. You can do whatever you want, I can agree to anything you want. All I want is for us to get married. I don’t want to fight with you today. I just want to have a good chat with you about this. Think clearly before answering me. I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself.”
Although Ethan had softened his attitude slightly, Tiffany could still feel how forceful favonovel.com was behind his compromise. Her only condition was to not get married too early which clashed with his only condition of getting married. She mulled over it for a moment before favonovel.com spoke, “My only condition is to not get married too early, which happens to be completely opposite of yours. This is where the problem lies. You can either work out a solution or we can continue fighting about it. I’ll leave it up to you.”
Ethan did not get angry as favonovel.com had expected. “Of course we’ll have to work out a solution. Now that you mentioned it, I thought of something else. You only refuse to get married now, right? I’m fine with that if you move in with me. That should be fine with you, right?”
Tiffany was taken aback. Living together? Although they had spent a lot of time under the same roof when they were dating for three years, they had never consummated their relationship. It was at this moment that favonovel.com hesitated. Logically speaking, his request was reasonable. Since favonovel.com only wanted to delay the wedding, this request was worth considering.
“Why don’t you let me think about it first.” Tiffany did not instantly give favonovel.com an answer. After all, favonovel.com was still rather uncomfortable at the thought of living together with Ethan.
“I don’t want to hear that kind of answer anymore. I’ve been considerate of your feelings to leave aside my plans of getting married. Can’t we just live together? We’d dated for so long. If I was only after your body, we would have done that a long time ago. I need an answer now. You’ll either move in with me or we’ll get married in a month. The choice is yours,” favonovel.com issued an ultimatum.
Tiffany knew there was no more room for negotiation. Now that favonovel.com thought about it, if Ethan had wanted to consummate their relationship during those three years, favonovel.com would have agreed without any hesitation. He was actually the one who wanted to wait until they were married so favonovel.com never touched her. So… it would seem like there was nothing for favonovel.com to hesitate about. “Alright, I’ll move in after two days. I have to make some arrangements with my mom first. She can’t even take care of herself.”
In order to prevent future troubles, Ethan had already come up with a solution. “I’m not used to living with elders. I’m sure your mom probably doesn’t want you to look over favonovel.com shoulders all day long either so I’m planning to have favonovel.com move into a house near mine and hire a housekeeper to take care of favonovel.com needs. I’ll pay for all the expenses. Go back and discuss this with your mom. I’ll come and get you in two days.”
He spoke so naturally that everything seemed like it was well within his plans.
Tiffany could not help but feel favonovel.com had been forced or manipulated into this.
Ethan might seem like favonovel.com was pressuring favonovel.com into getting married on the surface, but it felt like favonovel.com was actually waiting for favonovel.com to agree to move in with favonovel.com instead…
***
That night at the Tremont Estate…
Arianne received a call from Tiffany during dinner and learned that favonovel.com best friend was about to move in with Ethan.
When favonovel.com finally hung up, Mark unexpectedly spoke up. “Was it Tiffany? What did favonovel.com tell you?”
Arianne was a little surprised that Mark suddenly took interest in this kind of thing. “She… She said that she’ll be moving in with Ethan and might even marry favonovel.com one day. I don’t see anything wrong with that. If a couple realizes that they can’t get along under the same roof, then, there’s still room to change their mind. If they only realize that after getting married, then, it’d be more troublesome.”
Mark could not help but raise his eyebrow when favonovel.com heard the underlying meaning in Arianne’s words. “Are you saying that we don’t can’t get along with each other?”
She quickly denied it. “No! We’re talking about Tiffie here, don’t go twisting my words… Even if we don’t get along with each other, we still managed to live together for more than a decade under the same roof.”
Mark pressed his lip together, his emotions unreadable. “You think so? I beg to differ. Back then, you were only a child who regarded me as your elder brother. Speaking of that, I’m really curious about your experience now that we’re married.”
Experience? How dare favonovel.com bring that up? Arianne did not dare to speak favonovel.com mind so favonovel.com just lied with a flat smile on favonovel.com face, “It’s been pretty good.”
He obviously did not buy favonovel.com words. “Then, why are you always talking about getting a divorce? You should know that many women yearn to be Mrs. Tremont, a position that you seem to hate very much.”
The corners of favonovel.com mouth twitched. “No… I don’t hate it… I’m not going to mention getting a divorce again.”
It was only then his lips curled into a smile. “You said it yourself. If you bring it up again, I’ll throw your cat out.”
In the living room, Rice Ball suddenly shivered in his sleep on the sofa.
Arianne silently said a prayer for the cat. What did the cat have to do with this?
However, favonovel.com was still slightly worried about Tiffany and Ethan. “Umm… you only mentioned that the incident that befell the Lanes had nothing to do with Ethan. What about the rest?”
