Chapter 518
"Since you both have four kids now, isn't it time to get married?" Louis said, "Let's make it clear, I want to be your best man!"
Ivan pursed his lips. "She doesn't want to get married so soon, I respect her opinion."
"Ivan, when will you ever respect someone else's opinion?" Louis rolled his eyes. "I don't think you've conquered that woman! But it's not entirely your fault. She's beautiful and skilled, there are probably few men in the world who can handle her! If she agreed to marry you, I guess it's because of the four kids."
Louis kept on talking; Ivan gave him a cold look, and he snorted lightly. "I'm just stating the facts, all right? If I had four kids with her, she would agree to marry me too. Alright, I'll stop now. Hey, why are you still fighting even though you're injured! Mark, let's go!"
The ward finally quieted down.
But Ivan's face was somewhat dark.
Even if he was unwilling, he had to admit that what Louis said might be true.
Initially, Haley was very resistant to him, but later it was because of Owen and Keith that she slowly started to accept him.
Now that she was willing to marry him, there should be two reasons. One, the children wanted their parents to get married, and two, he saved her.
Women always held a sense of gratitude toward men who have saved them.
How much did she really like and love him?
Ivan tightened his lips, a sharp light shining through his thin lips, but his blue eyes revealed a hint of decadence and confusion.
When Haley returned to the ward, she saw Ivan in this state.
She used to think he was like a stray dog, but now she found that this man seemed a bit like a melancholic woman?
What happened again?
She stepped in and asked softly, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Ivan raised his eyes, his blue eyes looking at her, and slowly said, "Do you really want to marry me?"
Haley didn’t know what to say.
Why was this man asking her this question again?
She had already been very straightforward once, and really didn't want to say it again.
She pursed her crimson lips, putting on a calm demeanor. "The engagement date has already been set. Of course I want to."
"If there was a chance to change your mind?" Ivan's gaze was intense. "Whether we get married or not, I'm willing to give you custody of the four children and swear never to fight you for their custody. If that's the case, would you still want to marry me?"
Haley stopped her movements, looking at him seriously.
She paused before speaking, "Ivan, I have already decided to marry you, so I won't change my mind."
She understood why this man looked a bit like a melancholic woman now. Was it pre-wedding worries? Lack of security? Fear that she might suddenly leave with the children?
She smiled, sitting down by the bedside. "I promise to marry you, not just for the children, but because I like you, do you understand?"
In her cold eyes, there was a gentle light floating. In the depths of that gentleness, there was a hint of affection flowing.
Even if it was just a little bit of emotion, it was enough.
They had decades of future ahead of them, this bit of emotion would surely gather into a torrent and sea.
Ivan looked at the woman so close to him, unable to control the surge of deep affection in his heart. He uncontrollably moved closer, wrapping his arms around her slender waist.
Before Haley could react, she saw Ivan's face getting closer, and then, her lips were captured by the man.
The man used his tongue to trace the shape of her lips. Every move was extremely gentle as if treating the most precious treasure in the world.
Haley wanted to resist in her heart because she felt everything was happening too fast, it was really too fast.
But soon, she found herself indulging in the man's gentle kiss, unable to control herself.
