When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 296

After Jackson finished his speech, the crowd around them started to egg them on.

"Say yes, say yes!"

Lemira couldn't help but find the whole situation amusing.

"Lemira, you have a beautiful smile. I promise to make you happy for the rest of your life."

Lemira glanced at the bouquet in front of her and reached out to take it. Seeing Lemira accept the flowers, Jackson's face lit up with joy, "Let's go grab a bite. I've reserved a table at a fancy steakhouse."

He always thought college freshmen were easy to woo - a simple confession, and they'd be all touched.

Lemira, holding the bouquet, suddenly swung it hard across Jackson's face. The flowers shattered, and the thorns of the roses left a scratch on Jackson's face!

Lemira's eyes flashed coldly, "Jackson, did you even look in the mirror before you left the house today? With that ugly face, you dare to confess?"

Jackson's face turned livid, but he quickly recovered, "Lemira, I'm sincere. I know there have been issues between us, but it was all to get your attention. I'll accept whatever makes you feel better!"

Lemira almost gagged, "Stop, don't say another word, you're making me nauseous."

Jackson's lips twitched, "Lemira, I’ll show you my true heart!"

The onlookers started to chime in again.

"Lemira, Jackson's a local from Orvin, comes from a well-off family."

"Yeah, Lemira, for someone from out of town like you, marrying Jackson could mean settling down here."

"Jackson's quite picky, him falling for you is your good fortune."

Upon hearing these, Jackson felt a surge of confidence. To him, girls from small towns like Lemira usually didn't catch his eye.

If it weren't for Lemira's gaming skills, he wouldn't have pursued her! Jackson lowered his voice, "Lemira, you've also angered the Sinclairs. If you're with me, I can plead with the Sinclairs on your behalf!"
