Chapter 16 Are You Ready To Get Married (2/2)

A look of depression flashed across John's face. He grabbed her hand and asked eagerly, ”Why? Euralia, you promised me that you would leave this place with me, didn't you?”

”I'm just... Not ready yet.”

Noticing the disappointment on his face, Euralia changed her tone immediately. ”I'm willing to leave with you, but it's too hasty to hold a wedding like this.”

John tightened his grip on her hand and looked weird. ”Euralia, do you dislike me? I know I am poor. I can't give you a grand wedding ceremony, but I promise you that I will give you the life you want sooner or later!”

Euralia's wrist went red because of his grip, but she said guiltily, ”I didn't mean that...”

”So what do you mean? Don't you love me anymore?” John was so anxious that his eyes turned red. ”You promised me last night that you would come with me to a faraway place!”

”I love you, I really...” Euralia suffered in her heart.

”Then marry me!” John growled.

”Although this wedding is very simple, my love for you is pure. Can't you feel it?” Then he gripped her hand and put it on his chest.

”I...”

Euralia was embarrassed and guilty, doubting whether she was wrong.

”Promise me, Euralia.” Rendering her speechless, John whispered in a bewitching voice.

Biting her lips, Euralia looked up and said, ”Okay, I promise you.”

There was a hint of joy in John's eyes, and he waved to the priest hurriedly to let him continue. The other hand was still holding Euralia's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
