The Unexpected Marriage

Chapter 173 The Refusal

What Austin said was true. He had never thought about such thing, so naturally he would not admit it.

Although his heart was filled with surprise, he had a better understanding of Austin's behavior. Besides, Austin never lied to him. With a hearty smile, he said, "I know your sincerity. And I treat you the same. I never meant to be a mean person."

"You don't have to explain it to me, because I have known it for a long time."

Since Austin came to live together with Darren, he treated him as his good friend and he also knew that he treated him as his good friend all the time. So they both knew clearly about this matter.

Seeing that the soup was almost ready, Darren couldn't help but take up a spoon, gently opened the lid, scooped out a spoonful of soup, gently blew on it, put it into his mouth, and took a sip.

It tasted good, so he turned around, looked at Austin and said, "would you like to try some?"

Austin didn't know how to do with it, but he wanted to try. Taking a spoon by himself, he walked to the other side of the table and scooped out a spoonful of soup. After blowing on it, he put the spoonful into his mouth. After he drank it, he nodded. "I didn't expect your soup to be so delicious," he said.

Upon hearing this, Darren felt like he was looking down upon himself. With a frown, he asked, "have you been looking down upon me?"

"No way! Mr. Lu, don't think too much. There is really no such thing. "

Joan sighed with profound resignation. They hadn't eaten anything yet, so she came in. "Have you two made it? We can't just wait outside all the time, can we! You should at least cook a dish for us! "

A dash of displeasure flashed through Joan's eyes. She had thought they would eat soon, but to her surprise, they had finished chatting with each other. It was such a shame that they hadn't even served

any food on the table. She was dying to eat.

Seeing that she couldn't wait to eat the soup, Darren lifted the corners of his mouth and said, "you come just in time. The soup is delicious. How about I take it to you right now?"

"Really?" She didn't want to see her parents urge her to have a taste of the harmful soup.

" I can prove it. And I can guarantee that the soup is very delicious. You can eat while drinking it."

Austin tasted it before. Although he didn't know the taste of the soup before, he thought it was very delicious and he really appreciated it.

Said Joan with a smile, as she saw both Carlos and Debbie holding spoon in their hands. "I'm looking forward to it."

"Since you're expecting that, why don't you go out and have dinner? After that, I will take the soup out right away."

He never felt that he was like a servant. Moreover, it was right to serve his wife.

With great expectation, Joan returned to the hall in a hurry. She sat down on a chair and handed her bowl to Linda. Looking at her pitifully, she said, "Linda, fill a bowl of rice for me."

Linda took the bowl without hesitation, filled a bowl of rice for her and handed it to her. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Said Joan with a smile after taking the bowl from Linda's hand. "Thank you."

Linda couldn't help smiling. "You don't need to thank me for that. Besides, it's not a big deal for me to help you with such a little thing. But it seems a little weird that you act like this. If you continue to act like this next time, I won't do it for you anymore."

She curled her lips to show her displeasure.

"It's all my fault. Please don't get angry. I'm really sorry. Can you forgive me?"

Darren walked out of the room with a bowl of soup in his hands. He gently put the bowl on the table. Suddenly, a strong fragrance came out from it, which made Joan swallow. "Wow, it smells so good!"

"Yes, yes. I smelt it too!"

She had never smelled this kind of fragrance before. And they didn't smell the fragrance just now, and it came all of a sudden

Thinking of this, she asked in confusion, "Mr. Lu, we didn't smell this kind of fragrance before when we went out. But why did we smell so good when we came out all of a sudden?"

"The most important thing is that I covered the scent just now. So you wouldn't have heard it. I had intended to surprise you, so you wouldn't have seen it,"

In fact, the fragrance could have been smelt by them just now. But he tied the cloth around the table in case that they smelt the fragrance. Otherwise, he didn't feel anything strange at all.

Joan swallowed and then had a sip with the spoon. After all, it was very hot in the beginning.

After she finished, she licked her lips with her tongue, as if she wanted more. "Wow, I didn't expect you to be such a good cook. I should have let you serve me before I knew it."

Darren just wanted to show off in front of his loved ones, but he didn't expect him to say that. He couldn't help but slightly twitch his lips. "You don't want me to cook at home all the time. Besides, there are a lot of things in the company that I need to deal with."

Darren didn't want to be a nanny all the time. Moreover, there were many things that they couldn't decide.

He felt his need to make it clear.

His refusal was obvious to Joan. She frowned. "Are you unwilling to do that?"

Austin said with a smile, walking out of the crowd all of a sudden. "Mrs. Lu, you know that Mr. Lu is busy with his work all the time, and he only comes back occasionally to do the housework. If you two often stay together, you can ask him to cook for you."

He thought that Austin was doing this for his own good. He didn't expect that he would make such a big mistake.

He gave Austin a stare and Austin turned his head, pretending that he saw nothing.

She hadn't expected that Austin would come out at all. But she had been thinking about the previous things for a long time. If she didn't go after him, she would have no chance to win.

So she should at least buy herself some time while she was in a dilemma.

She closed her eyes to calm herself down. Then she stood up quickly and walked over to Austin. She lowered her head and said with a blush, "Austin, it's me who hasn't told you something in the past. But now I'm afraid that if I don't tell you, I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life. Therefore, I won't let it goThis thing has been buried in my heart. So I'm going to tell you everything. Will you listen to me? "

After saying that, her face turned even redder. After all, she was going to confess her love later, and she hoped that he would agree.

Austin couldn't help but frown slightly. Although he didn't know such a thing, he had guessed something in his mind. But he couldn't refuse it now. Thus, he said, "if you have something to tell me, just tell me!"

Hearing that, Linda couldn't help nodding her head. Then she said slowly, "in fact, I have also liked you since the first time I saw you. And I think we should know each other well. So I want to be your girlfriend. Would you accept me?"

Joan was about to have some soup, but when she was drinking half of it, she heard her bestie expressing her love for her. She almost spat it out.

But to support her, Lisa had no choice but to speak slowly, "Austin, I think Linda has always liked you. Why don't you give her a chance and also give yourself a chance? You two can get to know each other."

"In fact, I also think you should think carefully about this kind of thing. After all, all of those things have passed, and the most important thing now is to cherish the present moment. A girl who likes you so much should cherish you very much," said Darren.

Austin had a crush on her before. Now that a girl confessed her love to him, it meant that she had great respect for him.

But he couldn't accept it at all. He could only say lightly, "sorry! I can't accept it. "

It never occurred to her that her love confession, which she had prepared, would be rejected in this way. She could not accept it for a while. Tears slowly fell down from her eyes, and she ran away quickly.
