Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk

Chapter 650: Finally Bearing Fruit

When Finnian Lawrence spoke again, his voice was somewhat hoarse, as if he hadn’t had water for a long time.

He said, "Aren’t you going to ask why I’m here?"

"You probably came for a business trip or some sightseeing."

Lily Sloan considered countless possibilities in her heart but didn’t count herself among them.

She didn’t want to be presumptuous, yet there was a subtle expectation lingering in her heart.

"There’s a newly developed research lab stationed in Singapore." Finnian Lawrence couldn’t refute her answer; indeed, it was due to some research that he was in Singapore.

Lily Sloan’s already scarce expectations were once again dashed.

Not wanting to prolong the situation, she casually said, "There are vacant rooms in the hotel, I’ll call the front desk to help you book another one."

She said it, and she did it, not even giving Finnian Lawrence a chance to react before she had already secured the new room number.

When the call disconnected, Lily Sloan glanced back at the man on the sofa, "Someone will bring up the room key shortly, just wait a few minutes."

Finnian Lawrence was a bit helpless, thinking: This girl really holds grudges.

Before coming here, he had mentally prepared himself thoroughly, although Lily Sloan’s reaction was unexpected, the overall pace didn’t change.

Finnian Lawrence stopped beating around the bush and frankly said, "It’s true I came to Singapore for a business trip, but the reason I’m here is because of you."

Suddenly, Lily Sloan’s body shivered.

This move could indeed be described as unexpected.

Finnian Lawrence stood up, taking steps from the edge of the sofa towards her, saying, "I apologize for my prior caution, Lily, I admit I have different feelings for you, but due to certain status, I couldn’t decide on my emotions and marriage."

When he reached this point, he paused for a moment.

With the end of his words, Lily Sloan’s heartbeat also halted for an instant.

Finnian Lawrence took a breath and continued, "I thought my inactivity was good for both you and me, but facts prove otherwise. Since that day, I kept recalling when you said to give it a try, so I came, looking to try."

The noble demeanor on him completely vanished.

Lily Sloan gradually snapped out from her daze, not rushing to respond but questioning him instead, "Finnian Lawrence, are you aware of what you’re saying?"

"There’s no moment clearer than now."

The hurdle with Mr. Lawrence remains, but he wants to give it a try.

Not allowing Lily Sloan another chance to question, he laid bare his intentions: "Since you can be brave for me once, why can’t I do the same for you?"

Instantly, tears welled up uncontrollably.

Lily Sloan’s eyes and nose turned massively red, as if burdened by a great grievance.

Opening her mouth again, defeated, she said, "Just a bit more, just a bit more, and I wouldn’t want to care for you anymore."

"But as you said, it’s just a bit more, there’s always a difference."

Finnian Lawrence leaned in, kissing the salty tears at the corner of her eye.

As her eyes closed, teardrops slipped down the side of her face, finally landing on Finnian Lawrence’s hand, shattered into several pieces.

"Don’t cry anymore, darling."

A single tender word of ’darling’ from a young man, who can withstand it?

Suddenly, one’s heart bursts into bloom yet the clear tears still uncontrollably flow.

Now, the two have finally reached fruition, drawing a perfect conclusion to this mutual unspoken love.
