Chapter 1101: Chapter 1081: It’s Time for You to Propose!

With a loud bang, Owen Hayes felt as if someone had violently struck his head with a club, "Chani knows? No wonder she wanted to break up with me today and even asked me to talk at the hotel tonight!"

Rio Gordon: "..."

Break up? Talk at a hotel?

Could this man be any dumber?

"Owen Hayes, with your EQ, if my sister dumps you, you’d totally deserve it. Which woman talks about breaking up at a hotel?"

Rio Gordon’s eyes twitched, "If you keep being this clueless, I might let my sister kick you to the curb!"

"What do you mean? Is she playing with me?"

Owen was already nervous, but this made him even more anxious, "Rio, you know how I feel about Chani. It’s just that I’m not good with words. You know I’m not good at this. You can’t just ignore me because you have a wife now. After all, we were classmates!"

Although Owen Hayes was two years older than Rio Gordon, Rio was a genius. His ability to skip grades was beyond human competition, which unexpectedly made them classmates for two years. Combined with their similar interests and Chani Gordon’s connection, the two maintained a good relationship.

"Your IQ is so high, and it even makes me anxious for you!"

While saying this, Rio Gordon remembered how he had misunderstood that Senna Leon was having a baby with another man, which was pretty similar to what Owen was doing. It seems that even the smartest men can make misjudgments and exaggerated decisions when it comes to someone they like.

"Rio, if you think about it, if I marry Chani, I’d have to call you ’Little Uncle.’ And saying ’brother’ to you, seeing that I’m older yet still trying earnestly to call you that, please do help me out here!"

"Cough cough..."

This seemed quite tempting. Young Master Gordon glanced at his wife, who was carefully cutting fruit for him, and thought about it. This couple was indeed younger than Owen Hayes’s but they had the upper hand in how they addressed each other. Senna Leon was younger than Chani, and he was younger than Owen, but they both had to call him brother, and even call his wife ’sister-in-law’!

This feeling, well... wasn’t it nice!

He felt like he was gaining quite an advantage!

"Alright, seeing how sincerely you want to call me ’brother,’ I’ll give you five words," Rio Gordon said leisurely as he sipped the tea his beloved wife had made. He waited until the man was tingling with anticipation before finally speaking out the five words, "You should propose already!"

Owen Hayes: "..."

"Are you saying Chani wants to get married?"

"Of course, she doesn’t just want to get married, she wants to roll in the sheets too. Otherwise, why would she ask you to meet at the hotel?"

Owen Hayes: "..."

He had a feeling as if he had been struck by lightning. Though it was shocking, after the shock, the stone in his heart was instantly dropped. It turned out she hadn’t fallen for someone else. He had thought she had gotten tired and bored with dating someone as unromantic as him!

"But right now, looking like this, it seems I’m not quite worthy of Chani, am I?"

As a man, admitting to others that you’re lesser needs a lot of courage, but when he thought of Chani, Owen Hayes felt that this bit of courage was nothing. "I was planning to work hard for another two years, to narrow the gap between our families a bit, to make myself more worthy of her before I proposed!"

Ha ha ha!

I knew he would think this way; this man has always been a blockhead!

Clearly he adores her so much, yet he keeps silent about his feelings. However, considering they both act like idiots in front of their women, Rio Gordon still felt that some things needed to be said.

"Owen, as a man, face is important, but having a responsible heart is more important. You’re only concerned about your face, wanting the Hayes family to appear more suitable for the Gordon family, but why is that? Isn’t it just so that others won’t say you married Chani just to ally with our Gordon family? Don’t tell me you don’t care at all about what the world says, and don’t say you’ve never thought this way!"

"You should know our Gordon family’s viewpoint. My dad and mom never associate our marriages with business, as long as we love someone, even if it’s an enemy, if we bring them into our family, they will be treated the same. Besides, everyone in Andras City knows it was Chani Gordon who pursued you ardently. Chani has already given enough face; your concerns are clearly unnecessary. What you should do is, from now on, wholeheartedly love her well. What you want to provide and what she wants, are they the same? You want to give her a status that’s worthy of the Gordon family, while she wants a man who loves her deeply, who is attentive and caring. Do you understand, Owen Hayes?"

Owen Hayes stood in the airport hall, still in the pose he had just used on the phone, looking absolutely stunned, yet a tumult of emotions was raging inside him. He couldn’t understand why Rio Gordon, who was usually not good with words and disdained to talk much, would say so much and touch his heart deeply!

He had always thought he had to break new grounds for the Hayes family in the shortest possible time, to make himself better and worthy of Miss Gordon. However, he had forgotten that Miss Gordon never cared for his excellence. If it were about excellence, the eldest Young Master of the Smith family, the Little Prince of the Sandy family, they were all more excellent than he was; but she had liked him!

So for all these years, he had been striving in the wrong direction. She didn’t lack men of excellence or men who were worthy of her; she lacked a man who both liked her and was liked by her!

He, Owen Hayes, had been doing it wrong since he first met her, but thankfully, she had been diligent, so they hadn’t drifted apart!

"Thank you, Rio. I think I know what to do now!"

After speaking, Owen Hayes hung up the phone and drove straight home. He then discussed with his mother for half an hour and later booked a room at the Rino Hotel—not the one Chani had booked but room 520, and had specially arranged for someone to decorate it. Once everything was ready, Owen Hayes changed into a white suit and formally went to meet Chani Gordon.

So when Chani saw him dressed up like this, she was quite startled.

"Ah, dressing so handsomely, are you trying to seduce me?"

"If seduction works, then I’m willing to seduce!"

Owen Hayes smiled faintly, yet his expression was dead serious, which truly was... quite discordant!

It’s like Jack Walter trying to flirt—it’s hard for anyone to believe their own eyes, or accept it as reality!

So when Chani saw him dressed up like this, she was quite startled again,

"Owen Hayes, what kind of international joke is this? With your seduction, I’d only give you thirty out of a hundred!"

Chani shrugged her shoulders and pulled him in from the doorway, giving him no opportunity to refute, and directly closed the door of the room, "And these thirty points are all thanks to this suit!"
