Chapter 441 The Engagement (1/2)

When Ivy realized that Austin had finally changed his attitude, she was overjoyed.

She was on cloud nine, and couldn't help but take Austin's hands in her own.

”You... Don't you think it has happened all too quickly?”

she asked while lowering her head, avoiding Austin's eyes. Her cheeks flushed scarlet. Compared to Sue, Ivy was more mature and reserved in her manners.

”Well. To be frank with you, you are both exceedingly beautiful. I have never seen any women who are more pretty than you. And I feel lucky to be favored by you ladies.

But before we commit to each other, I have to be honesty with you. I have set my mind to pursue martial arts for the rest of my life. I have made a promise to myself as well as God that I will plough forward through any difficulties that arise and advance determinedly to reach the summit of martial arts.

I'm not the kind of man good at dating or pleasing women. Hell, I have never even thought of getting married or having children so far. All my life up until now has been spent in the pursuit of martial arts, and I will continue to do so. Only when I conquer the peak, will I be able to consider that I have not lived in vain.

So fair warning: if you marry me, I'm afraid that I won't have much time attending to you after marriage. Because I will be focusing on practicing most of the time. That means more often than not, I will have to go to nearby cities to toughen myself and to promote my strength.

My primary concern right now is whether you will be able to bear such a monotonous life after this marriage.”

Austin finished. He had clearly given it a lot of thought. He definitely didn't want theirs to be a miserable marriage that brought both of them nothing but sadness.

”Austin, don't worry. We will not make you feel burdened or troubled with love. We're not love-struck idiots who always tend to be sulky. We know what we're getting into.

Instead, we will always stand by your side, support you, encourage you and make you a better person and a warrior. We swear that we won't become a headache for you.

Moreover, both of us come from a martial arts family which has been practicing for generations. The two of us are martial arts practitioners too and we have our own ambitions to achieve greatness. It would be beneficial for the both of us if you can offer some guidance along the way, so that we can improve ourselves and forge our own path.

All in all, if you marry us, we will only support what you want to do and what you aspire to be. There is no way that we will become a burden for you.”
