Chapter 324-Feels So Taboo
Helanie:
"Did you do it?" Maximus asked again, trying to make me focus on him. Of course, my focus was on him—I was just buying some time to make up an excuse.
"Actually—," I shifted in my seat, getting uncomfortable, "I don’t know."
I looked away instantly to avoid his questioning stares.
"Helanie, what is going on? Do you not want to— be with me?" The hurt in his voice made me bite the inside of my cheek.
"I am trying to resolve this issue, and then—I will get back to you," I muttered under my breath because I had to say something at least.
"Okay, I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable. I can wait, but I hope you do it before the ceremony. It will put my father and your mother in an awkward situation if we tell them afterward," he said softly, trying not to offend me or push me into making a rushed decision. And I appreciated him for that.
As we arrived home, he made it clear that he wanted to have one last word with me before I walked out of his car, so I stayed around for a bit.
"I didn’t mean to pressure you into anything. I am ready to wait for you as long as you need me to. Okay? Even the date of their mating ceremony wouldn’t stop me from causing a ruckus and marrying you," he smiled at the last phrase because it visibly made my cheeks turn red.
