Chapter 1637: Chapter 1629: The Thing She Worried About Didn’t Happen

Aria, we’re just ordinary common people, we can’t fight them. Can you please listen to Uncle and Auntie? I swear I will treat you well."

"Even if you don’t like me and don’t want to marry me, it’s alright. We can first get a marriage certificate, and I promise to respect your wishes and not do anything to force you until you fully accept me."

"I’m really afraid that you’ll get hurt."

Aria Rowlett now fully understood what was going on.

All of this, including the trap set to catch her brother Issac in debt, was targeted at her.

And she already knew very clearly who was behind all of this.

She wanted to sneer.

Lady Octavia had gone to great lengths to get her away from Brandon Heath.

Only by marrying someone else would Lady Octavia truly be at ease.

"Gage, I’m sorry, but I still cannot agree to such an absurd request." Aria’s eyes showed not the slightest hesitation as she firmly said, "No matter what I face in the future, I will be in charge of my own life."

"Not to mention something as big as marriage, I won’t get married for some ridiculous reason."

Gage Maurice was stunned, and a hint of hurt flashed in his eyes.

He wasn’t surprised by Aria’s rejection.

It’s just that, even though he knew her agreeing was highly unlikely, he still held a glimmer of hope, thinking what if she did agree.

Even if she didn’t love him, as long as she was willing to marry him, he would treat her well for the rest of his life.

Mr. and Mrs. Rowlett let him take Aria away because they knew how he felt about her.

Seeing Gage silent and not speaking, Aria hesitated for a moment and slowly walked in front of him.

"Gage, I’m sorry. It’s not that you’re not good, it’s just..."

"Aria, you don’t have to say anything." Gage raised his head with a bitter smile, "Actually, this was just my wishful thinking from the start. I knew that you would probably reject me, but until I heard you reject me in person, I couldn’t give up."

"Now that I know what you’re thinking, don’t worry, I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to do."

Hearing him say this, Aria breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she thought she knew Gage well, people do change after all.

She was still scared that Gage would use force on her. Fortunately, her worries did not come true.

"Gage, you’re really great, it’s just that I’ve always seen you as a brother since childhood." Aria thought for a moment and said tactfully, "You’re so good, you’ll definitely meet someone who’s better suited for you."

Gage looked at her with a hint of bitterness in his heart.

He wanted to tell her that he had loved her for over a decade.

This feeling had grown very deep over time.

Apart from her, he had never thought about marrying any other woman.

From childhood until now, she was the only one he ever liked.

In fact, there wasn’t anyone more suitable for him than her; she was the best for him.

If he missed her, everything that came after would just be settling for less.

But in the end, he didn’t say these words.

He could see that Aria had absolutely no romantic feelings for him.

So why bother telling her these meaningless words? Saying them would only make both of them feel awkward.

"Hmm, I hope so." He squeezed a smile from the corner of his lips and said with a worried glint in his eyes, recalling Mr. and Mrs. Rowlett’s words, "Aria, what are you planning to do in the future? That person will probably still try to cause trouble for you."
