CHAPTER 164: CHAPTER 164: WE’RE GETTING MARRIED RIGHT AWAY

The two of them were walking in the garden downstairs.

Eleanor Sterling was the first to speak, asking, "Micah, you came to see me today. You must have something to tell me, right?"

Micah Moss smiled, "Eleanor, you’re too smart, nothing can be kept from you."

He stopped in his tracks, looked at Eleanor Sterling with eyes full of focus and affection, and slowly said, "Eleanor, I... I..."

Micah, who was initially relaxed, suddenly became nervous, his words stuck in his throat.

Seeing the burning look in Micah’s eyes, Eleanor seemed to know what he wanted to say.

Her brows furrowed instinctively.

Micah seemed a bit troubled; he cleared his throat and continued, "A while ago, your scandal was exposed, and little Star faced criticism from the entire internet.

If you’re willing, we can get married right away. I’m willing to be little Star’s father.

This way, no one will dare say he doesn’t have a father anymore. Are you willing?"

Even though she knew what Micah was going to say, Eleanor still fell silent upon hearing it.

Micah is obviously a great person too, but her heart simply doesn’t move.

Micah seemed to see Eleanor’s hesitation; he gently said, "Previously, you said that if you were ever to marry, you’d consider me first.

Now it’s just that the timeline’s moved forward. For little Star not to be pointed at and scolded, let’s give him a family together."

Eleanor opened her mouth to say something.

But Micah didn’t give her a chance, continuing, "I know you have no feelings for me right now, but I can wait for you.

Our marriage is just for little Star; I won’t force you to do anything. We can still be like we were before.

You busy with your things, and I’ll always have your back supporting you. Will you give me this chance?"

He was so sincere that Eleanor had almost no words to counter him.

But does she really want to marry him?

Eleanor hesitated.

"Eleanor." Today, Micah seemed very determined; he was intent on hearing Eleanor’s answer.

He couldn’t bring himself to confess directly, but he’d already broken the peaceful relationship they’d had for so long, so now he had nothing more to lose.

Eleanor said, "If you want to be little Star’s father, then I need to ask him. He has to like the idea."

Micah wasn’t upset; to him, at least Eleanor hadn’t outright refused him.

He suddenly laughed and said, "Eleanor, I’ve waited for you for so many years. What’s waiting a little longer, but I’m still feeling anxious."

He always had a bit of a bad feeling, thinking that Veridia City might change the relationship between him and Eleanor, so he wanted to settle things down.

Eleanor forced a somewhat stiff smile.

Suddenly she felt like their relationship had changed; facing him no longer brought ease and happiness but a heavy burden.

The old Micah used to be measured, always quietly helping her with things, never overstepping any boundaries.

But now, he has changed.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back." Eleanor turned and walked upstairs.

Micah, however, was filled with excitement. He was getting closer and closer to Eleanor, just a step away from having her.

In the apartment, Estelle Sterling was busy playing a game.

As soon as Eleanor entered, she sat opposite of him, staring at him seriously and intently.

"Hey, kiddo, do you want a dad?"

Without even looking up, Estelle continued battling fiercely, mumbling, "What? Are you going to marry Hades?"

Eleanor: "..."

She snatched the phone from Estelle’s hand.

Estelle protested in dissatisfaction, "Hey! Sister Eleanor, what are you doing? I was about to take the tower!"

"Even if a little noob like you gets banned, no one will sympathize."
