Ralph felt humiliated by her words, which felt like a hard slap to his face.
When his furious gaze met hers, the fire burning within him immediately diminished.
‘Why is this woman so different from how she was when I met her two days ago? She’s a completely different person! I would have thought that I got the wrong person if she didn’t look the same, if her words didn’t match, and if I didn’t know what she looked like"
"I..."
Ralph muttered, not daring to be harsh on her anymore, and could only give in.
"Okay then.I’m sorry, and I admit that I was wrong.I shouldn’t have said those things to you, but you must understand that I'm a normal man, and like any other, I would get jealous when I see my fiancée drinking coffee with another man.Heather, I just love you too much!"
As he said that, he reached his hand across the table, wanting to hold hers.
In response, Heather's hand shifted place so fast that he almost did not notice her movement.
A second later, her hand was already off the tabletop, which made Ralph even more awkward when his palm came into contact with the table.
"Heather..."
"Don’t call my name like that!" novelbin
Heather reproved.
The way he called her name disgusted her.
"What happened? You were fine a few days ago.Did I do something wrong and make you angry? Is it because of what happened earlier? It’s my fault, and I apologize, all right? Could you forgive me?"
Ralph said sincerely, and after giving it some thought, he took out the bracelet he had bought from the store earlier and put it in front of her like an offering.
"Look I even bought a gift for you.I didn’t expect to meet you here, so this must be fate.You don’t even know how happy I was when I saw you! Heather, forgive me..."
"I’ll say it again.Do not call my name like that!"
Heather’s voice sounded like it was covered with ice, so cold and piercing.It sent chills up Ralph’s spine.
He shuddered, not daring to call her name anymore, and pushed the jewelry box forward carefully.
"Then...take a look at this? Do you like it?"
Heather just glanced at it, but it did not look like she was going to pick it up and have a closer look.
Seeing her this way made Ralph even more anxious.
"M-Ms.Riggs, I don’t know what I did wrong to make you mad.We had a great time a few days ago, didn’t we? I thought you were happy as well.If you don’t like something about me, you can tell me immediately.Although it’s an arranged marriage for the both of us, I still believe that we should not only care about our own interests but love each other as well."
He paused before adding, "I like you a lot, but if you don’t feel the same, I won’t force it on you either.I swear!"
While saying all that, he tried his best to look sincere and gazed at her affectionately.
It disgusted Heather so much that she almost gave him a flying kick.
However, his words did remind her of something —the arranged marriage.
‘I still have important things on my agenda and can’t stop just because of this disgusting man"
Heather avoided his gaze and looked toward the jewelry box.She pulled it closer to her with one hand and opened it, revealing a delicately designed pearl bracelet.
It was pretty, but it did not fit her.She practiced kickboxing often and had to combat other people frequently.
Wearing such a thing would just get in her way.
She tapped on it twice, closed the box, and put it into her pocket.
"Thanks."
Ralph thought she would be elated and even put the bracelet on right away, but she only gave him a cold, one-word reply.It was slightly disappointing for him, to say the least.
Then, he tried again.
"Shall I put it on for you?"
"It’s fine."
Heather stood up and said, "I just remembered that I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving.See you next time."
