Chapter: 1764

Scarlette declared firmly. "It feels like I'm merely a good luck talisman to you. Besides, you are not my ideal partner. Even if I were to impulsively marry you now, your personality would undoubtedly cast a long shadow over my life. You are far too domineering. I prefer someone who would shower me with affection.”

Kenji already had a contingency plan. “We don't have to Live together, except for occasional visits to my parents.”

His sole objective was marriage. Whether they were compatible or could forge a harmonious union was of Little consequence to him.

Scarlette remained resolute. “I still find the proposition unacceptable.” The thought of being shackled to him, even in a limited capacity, was abhorrent to her.

Kenji's brow furrowed, his gaze hardening as he observed this rare display of serious resolve from Scarlette. His patience was beginning to wear thin. “This is our destiny," he declared. “Either you compromise, or I will. I will not coerce you, but we shall see who emerges victorious."
