The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 222 - Convincing For Marriage!

Pulling his hand back, Javier stared at Jennifer as if she had spoken something unbelievable. His breath was uneven due to the shock which made Jennifer even more worried.

"Wait! I haven't competed! As your parents are forcing you to get into a marriage with that bitch, why don't you marry me first so that they can't force you for the same?" Jennifer made an inviting face to show that she was serious.

It wasn't a mere joke but Javier found it absolutely lewd in his eyes, "Do you think that marriage is so simple which can be done with anyone!? It is something beyond that Jennifer.."

"And you are willing to have that girl as your wife, someone whom you hate, then why not marry someone like me, where both the affection is mutual!?!" Jennifer slightly raised her voice when he saw Javier's expressions.

His expressions and body language clearly showed that he was too shocked to even consider this option. Moreover, his eyes told the tale that he never gave it any thought.

Or maybe, he wasn't even willing to give it any thought in his mind.

Why!? If he is too saying that he has feelings then what is wrong in the marriage? Jennifer found the situation to be best suited but Javier didn't.

He stood on his toes and walked to the window, facing the garden outside. His mind was a mess which needed to be cleared off, 'Marriage!? With Jennifer and that too out of blue!? It will ruin her life..'

It's not like he never thought about it but it would be a big step. He isn't sure if he is even willing to take the same for now or not...

Putting his hand into the pocket of his jeans, Javier took a deep breath to not let himself get angry. But Jennifer's voice from behind even added to his worry, "Javier, you are making me think twice about your feelings.."

"That will be wrong.." Javier answered back in a slow voice but Jennifer instantly shook her head in rejection, "It will be the best decision of our life. It will safeguard me from that marriage.." and I can have you all by myself.

She let the second half in her throat itself and don't let that slip away too. But Javier too denied that option, "You are thinking about the things on the spot. What you aren't thinking about the things from far away."

Was he? Jennifer didn't find that to be true either but she knew that it would be a waste to say anything further. Lowering her head, she moved her head to the other side. "I.. just said..what will be best for us.."

"And what will we do if we are happy together after time? We haven't dated Jennifer…"

"Neither have you done that with Emily nor have I done that with, Lucas." Jennifer corrected him but Javier knew that their stubbornness was kicking in.

His eyes turned narrower when he turned around to face her, "Correct. But that marriage would be done for different reasons. This will be based on love and affection but what if this love fades away with time?! Are you willing to commit to me?"

"I..I.." Jennifer wanted to say yes, but Javier's thick and fierce gaze tossed, she immediately shut her mouth

But it seems that whatever Javier thinks is also not entirely wrong if things are associated and thought.

He took baby steps and analyzed the situation on the bigger picture as compared to her, "I will be honest with you, marriage with Emily is because of some other things.. I can't tell them to you now."

Lifting her eyes to stare at his face, but a scoff her let lips. At this point, she didn't think that there must be any other reason. "Then marry me first. Javier, you say that you love me but you are willing to stay in a loveless marriage?! what kind of love is this then!? Won't that marriage also be a commitment?"

"But what about your dear fiance? What will we do with Lucas? Who will answer him? Are you willing to leave your entire family back in the states and reside with me here?"

The question made her thunderstruck from top to bottom. As if her soul left her body and it made her not only vulnerable but think twice. Was she willing to give up on everything?

The life, the cage she wanted to escape especially when Lucas was hell-bent on marrying her at any cost no matter what! Leave Lucas, what about her own family then?!

Jennifer can't say anything in terms of her family. Her face lowered as she didn't reply.

She was hesitant but Javier wasn't after noting her actions. "See, I told you that you aren't."

Once again, Javier was ready to leave the room. He started taking steps in the direction of the door, but then came a firm and effective answer from behind.

"Yes! I'm willing to."

Turning around what came across was the determination in her eyes. Did she make up a decision in a fraction of seconds? He wasn't expecting such a quick and positive answer from her side.

But somewhere, his heart was too getting soft. She is herself offering to marry him, should say yes? Who was if this time will come ever again?

"Jennifer. I.."

Rin!

His phone rang when Javier was in the middle of saying something but then, he took a look at the dialer to find that it was one of his people. Picking up immediately, he heard the man's unstabled voice, "What happened? Is everything alright or any emergency?!

"Sir, Mr. Lucas has messaged up with something!" Hearing Javier's eyes turned cold with his aura changing instantly. "Go ahead."

"H..He is.. said that he is willing to exchange the ruby, again Ms. Jennifer."
