All Chapters of The Arrogant Love: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

“It’s not like that,” Chris quickly denied.“Then what is it?” she pressed him further.This time, Chris seemed to think longer than usual. He ran his hand roughly through his hair, and Ruby secretly smiled at his slightly nervous gesture.“I think I want to get married.”The one who heard it fell completely silent. Ruby was both shocked and astonished at the words that came out of his mouth. Then, slowly, a wide smile spread across her face. She hadn’t misheard, had she? And then he turned his face away again, looking shy.“Can you say it again?”“You want me to say it again? No way.”“Come on, Chris, I want to hear it again.” Ruby pressed him once more, her pleading eyes so endearing that Chris couldn’t help but let out a quiet laugh. How had that mischievous little girl from the past become someone so important in his heart?“Listen carefully, Ruby. I said I want to get married. What about you? Do you want to marry me?”“Yes, I do,” she answered without needing to think, be

“How did you get here, Theo?” Ella looked as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight.“With GPS in the car, you can go anywhere,” Theo said tensely, glancing around the authentic two-story wooden house in the countryside. He then looked at Ella, who had lost a lot of weight, which only added to his worry.“So, why are you here?”“I should go greet your mother first. Ella, where is she? The house is so quiet,” he asked, looking for her mother instead of answering her question.“My mom went to the market with Yara. She should be back around noon. Please, have a seat. I’ll get some cold water for you.” Ella led him to sit under the house while she went to the kitchen to fetch water for him.“You surprised me by coming like this.” Ella gave him water and told him.“I’m just as surprised.”“Why are you surprised? I don’t understand.”“Well, it’s about…” Theo faltered, realizing it wasn’t appropriate to say aloud. He remembered clearly what Penny had complained about over the phone

“What are you saying? Who’s your wife, and what rich man?” Ella looked at him in shock at the word “wife” that slipped from Theo’s mouth.“I meant my wife. We’ve been together countless times. What else should I call? Oh, I heard Penny talking to your mom on the phone. She said you were going to work for someone who would grope you.”“I wasn’t going to do that,” Ella said weakly.“But your mother wants you to. I know, which is why I had to drive all the way from the capital. I was worried. You know, your countryside home doesn’t even have a cell signal. It’s too risky.”“I’ve heard they’re going to set up a signal tower soon. It shouldn’t take long.”“I worry when I can’t contact you, you know.”“If you take me back like this, where will I live? I can’t stay with Tucker anymore.”“I’m not asking you to stay with Tucker. But… Why? What’s going on at Tucker’s house? Why can’t you go back there?” Theo wondered. Usually, Tucker treated Ella well, so why couldn’t she return this time

Nina and Tucker came into the house to say goodbye to Ruby and her mother. Both of them shyly admitted that they had already registered their marriage. There had been no ceremony, just the exchange of rings before heading straight to the district office.“Nina, why so sudden?”“Well, I was already in love. Besides, my family agreed. Actually, I threatened to elope with Tucker, so everyone gave in.” Nina laughed softly. Love had made her daring enough to go that far, even though she faced opposition. Since Tucker already had a child, everyone worried about the problems that might arise in the future if she were to have children with him. But if she let fear hold her back, she would never find happiness. It simply took time to explain, to help her family understand, and to bring Tucker into their lives. Before long, they accepted both him and his son without much difficulty.“It was my fault that I had to transfer jobs so suddenly. Nina said that no matter what, when Ruby and Chris’s

“You asked me to sit with you, so why do I have to take a shower?” Ella pulled a silly face at him in return.“Don’t talk back to me. Go now.”“No.”“If you don’t go, I’ll take you there myself. Oh, and I’ll shower with you too.” He stood up automatically. It would not be good if she let him enter the bathroom with her.“No need. I’d rather shower alone.” She almost ran into the bathroom, with Theo’s laughter following closely behind.When she came out again, he was still sitting in the same spot. Ella was wearing a long white T-shirt with elastic-waist shorts, the kind Theo liked her to wear. Seeing her, Theo smiled and pointed to his lap.“Sit right here.”Ella pouted a little but obediently walked over and dropped herself onto his lap.“Now that you smell fresh, you’re much nicer to hug.” He buried his face in the crook of Ella’s neck, breathing in her scent deeply.“I don’t use perfume like your other women. I’m not that huggable.”“Why bring up other people when it’s jus
