Chapter 237 - Not that type of cinderella ! (1/2)

' You really are determined in your goal and have a clear vision . You have passed everything that I have put in front of you but , as the leader , I need to be a hundred percent sure that I can trust you completely . This will be the last thing that I will test you . If your answer is right , I will tell you everything that you need to know . I will help you achieve your dreams and you will help me defeat my enemy . This is the last test that I will put her through...I really hope you don't let me down ! ' thought Helios with a serious expression .

” What way ?! ” said Aria with a curious expression .

” Marrying a rich man , of course . It's the easiest way . ” said Helios .

” This again...Haaaaaa.... ” said Aria tired .

” I don't mean becoming someone's toy or anything . I am referring to the confession that you got . ” said Helios .

” Yeah , you are right ! Florence is a great man and I can see that . Marrying someone like him is a dream for every girl . ” said Aria with a  smile .

” You are also a girl and had a rare opportunity like this . Why isn't this a dream for you ? ” said Helios with a serious expresison .

Aria noticed that he was seriously asking her .

” This is my private life and what decision I make , I don't think I need to tell you . ” said Aria .

” I know it is your private but.....it is quite shocking to see someone who is offered such a golden opportunity to have both wealth and a good husband . When I saw him that day , he didn't look like he wanted to be your boyfriend but rather , your husband . I am just trying to understand why you are.....like this .  said Helios .

” I see !...Hmmmm.....In fact, it was a good proposal . I admit that I nearly gave in when I saw him like that . He had always been very sweet to me . If he said that he wanted to be my boyfriend , I may have accepted him . ” said Aria with a gentle smile .

Helios looked at the plate with an annoyed expression when he heard her words . Just the thought that Aria and Florence would get together bothered him a lot .

” However.....he wanted to marry me and that's why I didn't accept his confession . ” said Aria .

Helios remained shocked when he heard her words . It would be normal if the girl refused because the boy only wanted her to be his girlfriend and nothing more but to her , she didn't accept because he proposed marriage to her .

” Why ?! ” said Helios with an expression where his shock could be clearly seen .

” Let's just say that I am now the type of cinderella to wait for a prince to save her . I would like it more if the two of us did our journey together on our own horses instead of riding the same horse like him . Marriage symbolizes the end of a girl's freedom and sets a lot of rules for her . I am not a girl that wants to wait at home for her husband to come . I want to assist my husband in his work . Florence is a surgeon and I am nowhere near that field . Plus , for the time being , I have absolutely no intention of getting married . ” said Aria with a determined expresison .

' Marirage...is not for me . ' thought Aria with a bit of a sad expresison .

” No intention ?! ” said Helios with a chuckle .

” None ! I am young . I will get married one . Why should I bother to cage myself so early ?! ” said Aria .

Helios couldn't help but laugh .

” You really are the most interesting girl I have ever met . ” said Helios with a smirk as Aria looked at him dumbfounded .

” What's wrong ?! ” said Helios when he saw her funny expression .

”  I don't know whether this was a compliment or one of your tasteless mocking jokes . ” said Aria with a doubtful expression .

” I rarely praise others so you should feel honored .  ” said Helios .

”  I feel so honored to the point of fainting . ” said Aria with a noncaring tone and eating her food with pleasure .

” Hahahahahahaha ! ” laughed Helios .

' This is what I was looking for ! Nice little tigress ! ' thought Helios .

” I am curious . Why are you praising me ?! That's not like you . ” said Aria .

” I am praising you for not choosing the easy road . An idiotic woman would be blinded by such an offer but a stubborn woman like you would be foolish enough to refuse it .  ” said Helios with a smile .

” You aren't praising me at all , you are trying to pick a fight with me again , are you ?! Weren't we supposed to be in a truce ?! ” said Aria .

” We are in a truce . I am just telling the truth . Anyway , you won't regret it since you will be able to win a lot from this decision of yours . It may even make your wish come true . ” said Helios with a smirk .

When Aria heard him , she stopped the spoon and placed it on the table then looked at Helios .

” By hearing this , I believe that you haven't invited me here just for lunch have you ?! ” said Aria with a serious expression .

”  I kinda like that you sometimes understand things quickly . ” said Helios .
