Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1615

Noah silently stared at Aurora thoughtfully.

Feeling chills down her spine, Aurora questioned, "Hey, why are you looking at me like that?"

Noah thought for a moment and said, "Your parents want you to get married, and I share that same predicament. Since we're already in a scandal, why don't we...work together?"

Aurora stared at him warily. "What...do you mean by that?"

"I mean, our families are of equal status. Neither of our parents wants us to marry just anyone, so why don't we just pretend like we're together? That way, you won't have to go home, and I can keep doing what I like!"

The more Noah elaborated, the more convinced he was sure his plan could work. "You can go back to filming movies, and I can keep my cats... Once the time is right, we can dissolve the engagement. Isn't that perfect?"

Aurora hesitated.

She still wanted to be an actress and did not want to get married so soon. After knowing Noah for years, they knew each other well, and his proposal seemed workable.

"Will they believe us?" Aurora said hesitantly. "What if they insist we get married immediately?"

Acting was one thing, but getting married would be a significant sacrifice.

Noah suggested, "Let's get engaged for now to appease them. We can delay the wedding for a while. Doing so for a year or two won't raise any suspicion. During this time, if we happen to find our respective true love, we can break off the engagement immediately. What do you think?"

An engagement seemed like a reasonable compromise to Aurora. "Alright, let's do that."

With a handshake, their decision was made.

At that moment, both of them had simple intentions and were merely trying to appease their families.

Little did they know, this engagement they decided on would never be dissolved as they planned.

"Mister Sparks, are you feeling better?" The man who entered behind Vicky met Harvey's gaze with a faint smile. "You seem to be in good spirits. I assume your recovery is going well."

Harvey looked at Vicky, who remained silent. "Vicky."

Vicky removed the engagement ring she had been wearing on her hand since her birthday. "Harvey, let's break off our engagement."

Harvey's face showed no signs of anger or surprise. "He used my life to blackmail you, didn't he?"

"I've never liked you, and agreeing to your proposal was just out of circumstances. I'm sorry," Vicky said in a monotone.

Harvey locked his gaze onto her. "Vicky, you didn't answer my question."

Before Vicky could respond, a cold, indifferent voice cut in from the side. "Does the answer matter? Whether she likes you or was coerced by me… In the end, isn't it all the result of your incompetence? You can't even protect your fiancee."
