On her way back home, Lydia received numerous calls from the wedding boutique and the staff of the wedding venue.


    Annoyed, she sent them her assistant’s phone number and told them not to bother her again.


    But her phone rang again.


    This time, it was Alick calling.


    “What is it?” Lydia asked impatiently.


    “I’m driving.


    ”


    “Who angered you today? Why are you in such a foul temper?”


    “If you have something to say, just spit it out already.


    If not, then I’m hanging up.


    I’m very busy today, I don’t have time to waste on you!”


    Instead of getting mad, Alick’s tone grew mellower.


    “Well, you haven’t reached home yet, right? I still haven’t bought the engagement bands.


    Why don’t we meet up and buy them together?”


    There was only one day left before she couldpletely get rid of the bastard.


    Lydia didn’t have the patience or the energy to put up with him.


    “I don’t have the time.


    ”


    “Why not? What are you doing? Do you need my help with anything?”


    “Not at all.


    My father gave me half the day off, and I’m going to spend it on some much-needed sleep.


    Do you think you can be of any help with that?”


    Alick sputtered at her words, and he wasn’t able to respond for a good moment.


    “Is there nothing else?” Lydia snapped.


    “I’m hanging up, then.


    ”


    “No, wait! Actually, Lydia… I just wanted to tell you that I regret my actions in the past.


    I was too young and brash to cherish you properly.


    Don’t worry, I promise that after we get married, I will treat you better.


    ”


    Lydia’s arms broke out in goosebumps when she heard that.


    Why was he spouting this nonsense now? Was he nning to assassinate her in the near future?


    She said nothing, not that she could think of an appropriate reply, anyway.


    Emboldened by her silence, Alick continued, “I won’t deny my past indiscretions.


    I did Like ying around with women, but I assure you that I am sincere toward you.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    I didn’t realize it before, but I really like you, so-“


    “Alick,” Lydia cut him off abruptly.


    “If you have so much time, I suggest that you go and get your brain checked.


    If the doctors find any abnormalities, I’ll be more than happy to postpone our engagement party.


    ”


    She had spent so much time with Hannah that thetter’s sharp tongue had rubbed off on her.


    “I know you won’t believe me, but that’s okay.


    Once we’re married, I’ll have all the time in the world to convince you of my sincerity.


    ”
