Chapter 747 Devoting Herself to Him
As she spoke, she kept a sweet and well-behaved smile on her face.
Besides, she also spoke in an ingratiating tone.
If it weren't for her beautiful appearance, and her ability to fawn over people gently, Samej would not have pampered her and married her off to his business partner to curry flavor.
From this, one could tell that how beautiful Kayla was.
If it were another man, he would have been fascinated by her beauty.
However, Jara merely glanced at her coldly.
As his faint smile was indifferent, he seemed like he was insulting her.
With a cold tone, he uttered, "Why do I have to eat your dishes? There are cooks in the castle."
After hearing that, Kayla was at a loss for words.
It was the first time someone said to her such ruthless words, and she felt awkward.
After all, anyone who tried so hard to please others would feel embarrassed too if they were turned down without mercy.
However, Kayla had experienced so many things in the past few days.
And her mentality was stronger than it seemed.
Therefore, she managed to overcome the embarrassment after a while.
After she put the dishes on the table next to her, she responded with a smile, "If you are not interested in tasting my dishes, that's fine. Actually, I want to ask you a favor. If you agree, I will do anything for you."
Upon hearing her words, Jara looked at her coldly.
With her head lowered, she unconsciously clenched her fingers. After a while, she spoke, "I was serious about what I said to you before. If you send me back to Ascijan, I will be forced to marry by my father."
After a pause, she continued, "You were born at the top of society, so perhaps you won't understand the difficulties of ordinary girls like us. To us, marriage is a life-changing decision."
"I just want to be an ordinary young girl who studies, works, and lives her own life freely. I don't want to be forced to marry a man who is old enough to be my father."
"Perhaps for the other girls, this is a good chance for them to have a higher social status, but for me, it's definitely not."
"I can do anything for my family, except for sacrificing my life and love. So, Mr. Holland, please, help me!"
Nevertheless, after hearing what she said, Jara was still as calm and unhurried as before.
While sitting on the sofa, he crossed his slender legs and leaned against the back of the chair. There was a sense of aloofness around him.
Besides, the words that came out of his mouth were still as cold as ever.
"Why should I help you?"
Hearing his answer, Kayla was not surprised.
Even so, her heart still skipped a beat, and she felt a little awkward.
Her voice deep and firm. "I will do whatever you ask me to do! As long as I can."
This included... devoting herself to him.
Even though she didn't say it out loud, Jara seemed to have guessed it.
As he sneered, the mockery in his eyes intensified, "Why don't you tell me what I need you to do?"
Instantaneously, Kayla was stunned.
Although she came here with the idea of devoting herself to him, she couldn't bring herself to say it out.
But since she was here, she had to be frank.
So, after hesitating for a while, she took a step forward and looked at him with seriousness. "I can be your woman and serve you. As long as you don't drive me away or send me back to Ascijian, I... I won't ask for any title."
While biting her lips, she blurted the last sentence with self-humiliation.
After all, she used to be the daughter of a rich family who was high above others.
As she used to be bossing people around arrogantly, when had she ever been so humble in front of others?
However, Jara was different.
She knew that if she did not show her sincerity, not only would he not agree to her request, but he would also not even spare her a glance.
In fact, in this situation, he had become her only way out.
Therefore, she didn't mind putting down her dignity and doing anything as long as he agreed to let her stay with him.
However, in Jara's eyes, her request, which she thought had put her in a difficult position, was worthless.
Moreover, he didn't even give any response.
Instead, he just looked at her as calmly as before, and the mockery in his eyes was like a knife that was constantly scraping her heart.
After a long while, he finally spoke, "What makes you think that I need a woman by my side?"
Hearing that, Kayla froze.
At that moment, she could feel that her face was burning with humiliation.
Then, Jara let out a soft laugh. His smile was full of unrestrained derision and disdain.
"Even if you kneel and beg me, I won't want you, let alone giving you a title. So, put away those delusions of yours. Alright?"
After listening to his words, Kayla was struck dumb.
Indeed, he was a little mean. However, what he said this time was like a hard slap in her face.
Instantly, she looked up and stared at him in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe that he was the one who said those words.
After all, he had saved her and brought her out of that abyss.
Not only that, but he was also determined to send her back to Ascijan.
Thus, she thought that even if he didn't like her, he must have helped her because he had a good feeling about her.
However, he actually said...
Embarrassed, Kayla bit her lower lip. Her bright eyes instantly turned red, and tears were welling up as if they would roll down at any time.
After a long while, she endured the humiliation and asked in a trembling voice, "Why are you helping me? If you don't like me, why do you send me back home? Isn't it easier to throw me out and let me fend for myself?"
Upon hearing that, Jara sneered coldly, "If you want, I can throw you out right now. Try me."
Kayla was speechless.
While his fingers were still playing with the ring in his hand, he spoke in an indifferent tone, "The reason why I saved you is that we're both Ascijanese. If you have any other misunderstanding, then I'm really sorry, you are not fit to be Mrs. Holland. As for being my woman without a title..."
With a pause, he looked at her unscrupulously, as if he was going to see through her.
In fact, Kayla did feel as if he had seen through her.
Then, he scoffed, "I am not interested in other people's leftovers."
Swoosh—
His words struck her heart like a flash of lightning.
