CHAPTER 485

Chapter 485 When Will You Marry Me?

The meal was quiet and strange. Bridger could not figure out what she was thinking. He could only speculate carefully. Her attitude seemed fine and she said that she forgave him. But she looked

unhappy.

After the meal, Bridger thought for a moment and said, “Paisley, do you like this bracelet?”

“Li…” After a pause, Mallory thought for a moment, “Not bad.”

She originally wanted to say that she liked it, but after thinking about it, she realized that Bridger was giving this bracelet to her sister, so she didn’t like it much.

“So you don’t like it?” Hearing her words, Bridger immediately understood. It turned out that she did

not like the gift.

However, she still wore it. It meant that she still treasured him. Sure enough, his mother was right. He still had to send her a big gift.

“Then what do you like? I’ll give it to you,” he said confidently.

Mallory’s eyes lit up, but they quickly dimmed. “No, no need,” she said.

So what if she liked something? She couldn’t have them.

“Hey, you don’t have to be so polite with me. Although I may not be as rich as you, I will not be stingy when it comes to spending money for my woman.”

Bridger thought that some women hid their thoughts inside. Could it be that Paisley was the same? Thus, he no longer hesitated. He stood up and said, “Let’s go. Anyway, we have just finished eating and need to digest our food. There is a mall downstairs. Shall we go shopping?”

Mallory had come here on a mission, so she nodded and said, “Alright.”

They went downstairs together and strolled around the mall side by side. She did not have the mood to look at other goods. There were not many opportunities to go shopping alone like this.

She cherished it very much.

Now she could walk quietly, bask in the sun, and breathe fresh air. She felt very comfortable.

“Paisley, why aren’t you saying anything?”

“… don’t know what to say.” Mallory lowered her head and glanced at her phone screen. There

was a request that her sister had left for her. She glanced at it in a hurry and swallowed hard.

“When… when are you going to marry me?” she asked.

“What?”

Bridger almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

He was shocked. Logically speaking, the progress of the two of them now did not seem to have reached that stage yet. Was she unsatisfied with him? Why would she suddenly mention marriage? Or was she testing him?

“This…” He smiled, “Of course, the sooner the better! But I respect your opinion. If you don’t want

to, I won’t force you.”

“I am willing.” Mallory quickly replied.

No reply was heard.

“I mean, since we have the agreement, of course, we won’t go back on it. And … and…” She frowned and looked down at her phone again. She licked her lips and said, “Then how many betrothal gifts can you give me? And on which day? How many shares and industries of your family do you have? I hope you can give me… a detailed list before marriage.”

She did not understand these words very well, so she stuttered. Occasionally, she would glance at the words on her phone before she could finish speaking.

Bridger was puzzled.

She looked weird, and she even asked about his private property. What was she going to do?

“Don’t misunderstand. I don’t mean anything else. I just think that since we are going to get married, we should be honest with each other before marriage. That’s for our future life.”

Mallory felt that her cheeks were burning, and she did not dare to look at him at all.

However, he was staring at her face, making her want to find a place to hide.

God! Why did she have to say this? She did not know what it meant.

In the past, Paisley would occasionally ask Mallory to pretend to be her and stay in the office. That

was just a casual reply. By putting on a poker face and keeping silent, she could scare away other

people. But now, Mallory had to pretend to be Paisley and walk outside alone. She had to get along

with this man and say something strange. She could not bear it.

Bridger stared at her face with a probing gaze. Mallory felt that she was unable to continue pretending, but she heard him say, “Yes! I think what you said is very reasonable!”

What?

Mallory raised her head and looked at him in surprise.

He continued, “It is true that marriage is open to each of us, but since we love each other, shouldn’t you be more honest with me?”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

He thought, since you want me to tell you about the industry, then you should also tell me what you have in your hands.

However, Mallory misunderstood.

She had no idea of industries and shares, but she understood that he wanted her to be honest.

She was not honest. She was not Paisley at all. She was Mallory. However, she could not say it.

If her sister were to know, that would be a disaster.

Biting her lower lip, she was a little nervous and did not know how to respond to him.

Seeing her like this, Bridger’s heart moved. He felt a bit of pity, almost forgetting that she was at

domineering woman.

“Don’t do this. It will hurt you.” He gently pressed down on her lower lip and opened it a little so that she would not bite her lips.

This intimate action made her blush. Looking at his face that was getting closer and closer, she skipped a heartbeat. Was he going to kiss her again? But this was in the mall. There were so many people around!

If he kissed her, would she push him away? It shouldn’t be. After all, she liked him a little.

But… there were so many people around!

Mallory was at a loss as she struggled in her heart. However, just as she thought that he was going to kiss her, Bridger raised his hand and brushed the strands of hair beside her ear. Then, he

straightened up and said, “Let’s go buy you a present!”

Mallory was speechless.

She didn’t know why, but she was a little disappointed.

But soon, this little disappointment disappeared.

Bridger naturally held her hand and turned to enter a jewelry store.

“If you don’t like bracelets, then do you want a necklace? A ring?”

For Bridger, he could not think of any other gift that was suitable and valuable. As for women, all he could think of was jewelry. Anyway, when he gave those women jewelry before, they were very

happy. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

But Paisley was different, she was richer than him, so he did not know what was suitable. It was better to let her choose by herself.

“How about a diamond ring?” After thinking for a while, he decided to grit his teeth and spend a lot

of money.

Since they were going to buy a diamond ring for marriage anyway, they might as well buy it earlier

and settle down.

“Take a look and see if there are any designs you like. Let’s buy a big diamond ring,” he said softly.

The shop assistant was very happy to hear that and immediately greeted them with a smile, “Sir,

Miss, do you want to have a look at diamond rings?”
