Chapter 54 Mom, I’m Married

When Kerwin had dinner with Betty, he received several calls from the office.

Betty was a bit ashamed, thinking that Kerwin had stayed with her for over half a day. She said, “Go to work. I can take care of my mom myself.”

Kerwin looked at Betty. When she gulped down the food, her mouth was stained with some sauce, so he reached out to wipe it off her face.

“I’m leaving. I’ll come here tomorrow,” he said in a low voice. “If you need anything, please tell

me.”

 

Betty nodded. Seeing Kerwin sitting still, she frowned. “What’s up?”

Kerwin looked at Betty thoughtfully. His fingertip was stained with the sauce previously on Betty’s face. He put it into his mouth and licked it. “Well, you looked very earnest when you nodded.”

Betty was so astonished when she saw Kerwin lick his fingertip that she didn’t listen to Kerwin.

Betty would think he or she was dirty if someone else did that. But Kerwin was different. His gesture looked alluring since he had slender fingers and thin lips.

“Earnest?” She blushed, averted her gaze, and asked.

“If you are in need, will you really ask me for help?” Kerwin looked at Betty who was avoiding his eyes. A touch of displeasure flashed across his eyes. He cupped her chin and forced her to meet his. gaze. “Betty, I hope you really take me as your husband.”

Husband?

Betty looked into Kerwin’s eyes as bottomless as a pool, feeling dazed.

“I will.” She cast down her eyes. “I promise I’ll tell you first if I’m in need.”
