Chapter 328 – Marry

Chapter 328 - Marry

After listening to the people who invited him, Theo saved all their offers while remembering why Radvils said this might take two days. The number was too much for him to handle. If not because of Radvils managing his schedule, he doubted he could finish it even within three days.

During the night, Theo trained together with Nella. This training continued even after his schedule was free.

Ellen and the others asked him if he wanted to stroll around the city, but Theo decided not to spend his day leisurely and focus on his training. He only had a few months left before the Griffith Family came to him.

Obviously, Nella had a good time with Theo, discussing Control from Theo's point of view.

After Nella taught him, Theo could understand the concept and gradually replicate it.

Nella asked a few things from him and realized Theo had simplified the concept of her own research. She recognized that talent and understood why Theo might be able to master five Aspects at once.

Like Theo, she also progressed by leaps and bounds to the point she doubted whether she was still herself or not. If it were with Theo, she felt like she could achieve anything.

During the last day, Nella was looking at the night sky through the windows. Her eyes were blank as if she was in deep thought.

Theo, on the other hand, just finished taking a bath and walked to Nella. "It's time for me to return tomorrow. When will you return?"

"Two days later." Nella smiled. "Clark still needs some treatment, so we can't really return that fast. After dealing with his problem, we can finally move Clark to the UK for another treatment."

"I see. Tell him to get a good rest and recover." Theo nodded.

"Sure. Oh, I made you a coffee." Nella took a glance at the table.

Theo found the cup filled with piping hot coffee. He brought it and sat on the chair, putting the cup down on the table in front of him.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome." Nella then came to him before asking, "Mhm… Can I ask you something? This is very important…"

"Sure. Ask me anything." Theo nodded and sipped his coffee.

Nella suddenly got down on bended knee, taking out a single small box. She opened it and showed a ring inside—a golden ring with a beautiful diamond on top of it.

"Will you marry me?"

*Cough*

Theo coughed a few times as he put down the coffee and stared at Nella dumbfoundedly. "What did you say?"

He was completely taken aback by the whole situation.

Nella was his cousin. It was impossible for him to marry her, let alone when he only cared for her because she was his cousin, nothing more.

That's why this statement bewildered him.

Nella's expression remained serious as she asked once again with determination. "I want you to marry me."

"What the…" Theo stopped right before it and shouted, "You're kidding me, right? Just tell me that you are kidding me. Alright? Let me admit that you indeed surprised me."

"I am not kidding." Nella shook her head. "I have told you that I would never lie to you…"

"!!!" Theo blinked his eyes a few times and recalled what she had told him until this point. He remembered she often said, "she cares for him and loves him."

Theo always thought it was because she was his family member. When everyone looked fake, Nella was the one who showed something genuine.

"I truly want you to marry me, Theo." Nella looked Theo in the eyes, showing her genuine feeling.

"First of all, you and I are cousins!"

"But our blood relation only comes from the ancestor of the Griffith Family. It has been seven generations. With some medical treatment, there won't be a need to fear the blood relation. We can be treated as strangers!

"There won't be any deformed in our future children!" Nella explained calmly, like how she told him her research.

"…" Theo flinched, wondering if Nella had some sort of brain problem. "It's still not morally correct!"

"We are hidden families. We can work with it. Also, when I marry you, I can change my name to the same family name, which I already have. People will simply think I have taken your family name." She smiled sweetly, believing it would be the case.

"Did you have brain damage?"

"I don't." Nella shook her head. "You have been my idol this whole time. Is there any reason for not loving my own idol? After meeting you, I have realized that you are far more powerful than I originally thought.

"If we are together, we can overcome anything. Our children will also be the strongest!" Nella nodded with conviction. "After considering everything, I realize we are good to go."

"Good to go, my ass." Theo's expression darkened. He pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes.

Nella misunderstood his action as she continued, "I know that this is a hard decision for you. That's why I have prepared to wait for your response, even if it takes years. Even if you don't have any feelings for me right now, love can grow."

"Yeah. This is really a hard decision." Theo said with a tired tone.

"Right? I—"

Before she finished, Theo stopped her. "This is truly a hard decision. I am contemplating whether to expel you from this room or throw you out of the window right now…"

"Eh?" Nella widened her eyes. "Wait, wait. That's not how you are supposed to answer."

"It seems I have misjudged you."

"Wait, wait. I am kidding, ehm, no! I'm serious, but I am kidding." Nella's face turned pale as she grabbed the bed. "My feelings are genuine! I have been harboring this feeling since a few years ago!"

"Shut up. If it were not for the fact you taught me many things, I would have thrown you out already." Theo shook his head helplessly before looking at her coldly.

"I-I am sorry, I won't mention this anymore." Nella quickly hid under the quilt. "I promise."

"I am truly speechless. Is there anyone normal in the Griffith Family?" Theo let out a long sigh. "In the eyes of other people, I may be abnormal too… I guess. What's wrong with this family… seriously."
