The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 270 Eased Relationship

Stephanie couldn’t believe what she was hearing for a moment. They were just chatting, so why did the topic of marriage come up all of a sudden?

She did want to get married to Crispin in the past, but now… She wasn’t quite willing to go through with it.

“I said, let’s get married. Now, Elias has fulfilled his promise, the engagement banquet was canceled, and your sister is back. Everyone’s attention is elsewhere right now, so it’s the perfect chance to get a marriage

certificate in secret.”

Crispin couldn’t wait any longer. If this went on, everything he was working for would be gone.

“But… That’s not appropriate, is it? My dad would be mad if he knew, and…” At the moment, she wasn’t raring to get married anymore. More specifically, she was no longer so enthusiastic about marrying Crispin.

“And what? Steph, do you not want to be with me anymore?”

That… That’s not true! I just-Things are a mess at home, so I truly have no time to think about such personal matters at the moment.” She was reluctant to admit that she had a change of heart, but that seemed to be the case..

Just then, footsteps sounded nearby. Someone seemed to have come to the garden for a walk.

Stephanie panicked. “You have to leave, Crispin. My dad and the others are here. Go, go! My dad will get mad if he sees you again.”

“Steph, I-”

“We’ll talk over the phone. Just go now, please, Crispin!” Stephanie pleaded as she instinctively turned back to look. They truly were walking toward her.

In the past, she would pit absolutely everything against her father and be with Crispin. Yet, she was scared now. She feared that her father would be furious and truly ignore her forever.

Crispin also wanted to leave a good impression on Jack, since he would be the latter’s son-in-law in the future. So, he could only retreat for now as he quietly turned around and left..
