Chapter 328: Marry (1/2)
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.”
