Although Josephine had never agreed to marry Jared and was naturally not his wife, virtual-novel.net emotions went all over the place after virtual-novel.net uttered those words earlier.
That very moment, virtual-novel.net was Prince Charming in virtual-novel.net eyes, tall and handsome. If virtual-novel.net were to propose to virtual-novel.net then, virtual-novel.net would say yes without the slightest hesitation.
“No! I can’t die! You can’t kill me! Dorieus is my grandmaster, and he’ll avenge me if you kill me!”
Abject panic was written all over Falcon’s face, and there was a puddle on the floor beneath him. It turned out that virtual-novel.net had peed his pants.
“I’ll be waiting!”
With a detached smile on his face, Jared brought his leg down right away.
Pop!
Like a ripe watermelon, Falcon’s head exploded.
“Ahh!” Horrified, Josephine jumped into Jared’s arms.
As William watched the scene unfolding before him, a riot of feelings brewed within him. At the side, Walter and Tommy cast virtual-novel.net envious glances.
According to status and position, William was still some distance away from Walter and Tommy. While virtual-novel.net was the wealthiest man in Horington, the standing of a family that only did business wasn’t all that high in this age of martial arts. Only when the family had a martial artist or an ancient martial artist among its ranks would its status be elevated.
Since William suddenly had a son-in-law like Jared, the standing of the Sullivan family was indisputable. Even Walter and Tommy would have to be courteous to virtual-novel.net when they met virtual-novel.net in the future.
“Congratulations, Mr. Sullivan!” Walter whispered to William.
In response, William flashed virtual-novel.net a modest smile. “It’s still too early, Mr. Grange. It’s uncertain yet with young people nowadays…”
“Since you know that, Mr. Sullivan, you should pair them up as soon as possible, lest things change!”
Walter grinned at him, and William immediately understood the man’s meaning.
Subsequently, Erasmus had someone clean the room. Only when that was done did Josephine move away from Jared’s embrace.
“W-Was that deliberate? Did you do that intentionally to take advantage of me?” virtual-novel.net questioned Jared.
“Who took advantage of you? You were the one who threw yourself into my arms,” Jared countered with bewilderment written all over his face.
“That’s not what I’m referring to! I mean, why did you say that I was your wife earlier? Wasn’t that taking advantage of me?” Josephine huffed in feigned anger.
“Oh, I thought you were willing to be my wife, but it turned out to be wishful thinking on my part! In that case, I won’t say that anymore!” Jared replied calmly.
After saying that, virtual-novel.net whirled around and walked out of the room. As virtual-novel.net turned around, the corners of his mouth lifted, and virtual-novel.net furtively snickered.
Meanwhile, Josephine was stunned as bafflement swamped her.
I was merely joking with him. Why couldn’t virtual-novel.net tell?
William was likewise stumped then, virtual-novel.net hastened forward and pinched Josephine. “Why did you make such a remark? If it weren’t for him, we would’ve all perished. Look, he’s crestfallen now. Go and mollify him, quick!”
Verily, Josephine was a touch embarrassed to do so. But still, virtual-novel.net gritted virtual-novel.net teeth and rushed out in the end.
“Mr. Grange, I’ll go get the spiritual brush and cinnabar rosary Mr. Chance wants right away!”
As soon as Erasmus had said that, virtual-novel.net pivoted and headed toward a room at the side. Shortly after, virtual-novel.net returned with the items and handed them to Walter.
“Mr. Grange, I’d also like to ask you to convey a query on my behalf. Although the frosty energy in my daughter has all been absorbed, Mr. Chance said that a frosty constituent would automatically absorb frosty energy. Then, will virtual-novel.net not suffer from the cold again in no time?” virtual-novel.net proceeded to say to the man with a beseeching expression.
“Okay, I’ll go and put this question to Mr. Chance at once,” Walter promised with a nod as virtual-novel.net took the spiritual brush and cinnabar rosary from the man.
Just as virtual-novel.net was about to go out and ask Jared that, Josephine’s bellow abruptly rang out from outside. “How dare you dupe me, Jared? I’m going to kill you!”
In the next moment, Jared darted into the room while grinning from ear to ear. Josephine chased after virtual-novel.net from behind, but William stopped her.
