Let's Get Married novel Chapter 769

Jasmine sleeps through the whole afternoon. When she wakes up, it's already dark outside. Being not fully awake, she straights herself up and sits on the bed.

Looking around, she remembers that this is Pehry's house.

For a long time, she hasn't been sleeping so well and now she feels her whole body has loosen up. She checks on her phone—it's 5:30 pm. He hasn't finished work yet.

Her mouth is dry, so she gets up and is planning to get some water downstairs.

With her slippers on, she walks to the living room on the first floor. The doorbell rings, as she is getting some warm water out of the machine which sits in the corner of the dining room.

She is a little stunned and pauses there with the cup in her hand. Who will be here ... at this time?

She holds her breath and carefully walks towards the door. Through the peeping hole, she checks outside the door.

There is an old man in a dark Chinese suit, surrounding by three huge body guards. He has grey hair and is standing up right in front of the door with a delicate rosewood cane in his hand.

This strange person makes Jasmine a little nervous. She has been over Pehry's house many times but has never met any other visitors here.

Other than the cooks or helpers, Pehry is as if living his entire life by himself.

Only the ones who are close to him know exactly where he lives and can open the front gate of the garden.

Is he someone senior from the family?

With this thought on her mind, she gets even more nervous. Looking down on her body, though she is wearing a full-sleeved long night dress, this isn't decent enough for such an occasion.

Just as Jasmine is wondering whether to go upstairs and change her clothes, the doorbell rings again. It sounds like they are getting impatient.

She has no other choice but to open the door now.

The old gentleman is in his 60s and giving people a pressing feeling. By only standing there and looking at her, she feels like under interrogation.

"Good ... evening, are you looking for Pehry?" Jasmine makes a bow and greets him politely.

"I'm not looking for him." He said softly. His voice was so deep and gives a noble feeling.

"Then who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for you."

Looking for her?!

Jasmine raises her eyes and stares into his. Those eyes are deep and formidable. So she quickly looks away.

"Please, come in!"

He looks at her indifferently and doesn't care much about what she is wearing. He gives people a calm and lofty impression which emerges from deep inside him. It makes her almost unable to look at his face.

He is overwhelming.

Just by sitting quietly there, he gives people an oppressive impression. Obviously, he is no ordinary man.

"Do you want some tea?" Jasmine says and is about to fetch the tea set from the kitchen.

All her nervous feeling and respect for this old gentleman are gone. She even feels resistance for respecting him from the beginning.

He has checked her background and comes over to show his hand. Clearly, he doesn't care how she feels.

Jasmine takes a deep breath. The smile on her face is fading and changes into a formal expression. After all, this is his grandpa, so she must show some respect.

"I'm not sure how to call you. I guess I will just call you Mr. Alfred." She stops and checks if he is ok with this, then she continues, "I am not sure how you see about us, but we choose each other for the sole reason of love, and our feelings for each other is true. Therefore, it's beyond our control whether to be together or be apart."

Since we choose to be together, we are the ones responsible to run this relationship. No others should have anything to do with it, not to mention, asking us to break up.

To Mr. Alfred, her words are like a joke. He never believes in the so-called 'true love'.

There is nothing indestructible, only if the conditions weren't attractive enough.

Thus, he says, almost disdainfully, "Make your request."

Jasmine is tongue-tied. For a few seconds, she doesn't know how to respond and wonders why he could ask such a thing at this time.

Looking at the disdain and ridicule on his face, she gets it.

For some reason, Jasmine wants to laugh. The plot in the TV series actually happens in her life. Unbelievable!

Just as she is about to refute him, the door opens again, and Pehry shows up. She follows the sound and looks towards the hallway, and instantly she feels a lump in her throat.

"Pehry..."
