When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 1898 Do You Want To Be With Him

Seeing her upset, Scorpius immediately lifted his head. His eyes were red. Queenie saw it too, and despite herself, her heart ached.

"Mdm. Queenie, I'm not trying to upset you. I just really don't want to get married, so please stop trying to push me," Scorpius said, almost in a pleading tone.

"Is it because of me?" Queenie asked, frowning.

Scorpius struggled to hold back his emotions.

Scorpius was just that kind of man-stubborn through and through. He nodded again, firmly. “I don't see anything wrong with living alone. I know you don't like me. You don't want to be with me. I've known that for a long time. Me deciding not to marry has nothing to do with you."
