Chapter 1108 Extra Story (Six) (1/2)
Adonis narrowed his eyes and looked at Selina's unflinching determination.
She was blessed with a healthy, tanned skin. In spite of her illness, her face looked smooth, bereft of any pores. There was something vibrant about her. Her almond shaped eyes were fierce. Presently, they remained wide and unblinking.
Her nostrils had flared up in anger.
Like other girls, she wasn't born sensitive or delicate. Nothing could bring her down.
Even in sickness, her spirits were high. However, there was also a different kind of charm about her. Everything she did made her stand out. Adonis found her tough personality quite attractive even though he wouldn't admit it.
The two stared at each other.
One was up and the other was down.
Her eyes were measuring him whereas his eyes were scrutinizing her.
”Selina, I got news for you. Sam's son has gone to Uncle Steven with a proposal for you. He called me this morning and asked me to urge you to go back early.”
Adonis couldn't look into her eyes as he uttered these works. Now he knew why she didn't want to go back to Yu Sea City.
It turned out she was trying to escape an engagement.
Like a deflated balloon, Selina lay on the bed again. ”You want me to get married as soon as possible, don't you?”
”Yes. In fact, it doesn't even matter whether you want to get married or not. The bottom line is, once you do, someone will take care of you. My sister and I will be relieved of this duty.”
Adonis looked at her indifferently and his voice was calm.
Biting her lips, Selina looked at him and tears blurred her vision. ”You!” she shouted.
”Take the medicine and get better. Go back to the Yu Sea City. On the bright side, the An family will give you a lot of gifts.”
Once again, he didn't have the strength to meet her eyes. Swiftly, Adonis turned around and was about to leave.
Before he disappeared from her sight, Selina jumped out of the bed. The quilt was messily thrown to the ground.
Adonis heard this but he just strode towards the door, not bothering to glance back.
