Chapter 997 Ralph nodded solemnly and continued, "Didn't you say that you didn't want to marry or be with me? If that's the case, we might as well just call it off. We don't have to force the issue." "when did | say such a thing?" Heather replied, subconsciously looking away.

She wasn't used to being stared down by him like this.

Although she had no intentions of marrying him, she did not recall saying it out loud.

"You didn't, but | can tell by how you act.You're unhappy and not looking forward to this marriage." Still supporting himself with one hand, Ralph continued to stare at her and continued, "I know that you can get anyone you want with your face, figure, and wealth.There are also countless people lining up to take my place.However, I'm really happy that you chose me.

"I thought that even though you didn't likethat much, you'd at least have a little affection for me.We'd gotten along very well before this, and sof the things you did...madefeel that maybe you cared about me.Now, it seems like | may have misunderstood.| don't like to force people into things.If you don't want to do this, let's just call off the marriage.

"Don't worry.This won't affect the cooperation between our families.If you need help, you can always ask me, and I'll try my best to help you.l hope you know that | want you to be happy no matter what!" After he was done speaking, he lowered his arms gradually until they were close to her shoulders, but he didn't touch her.He hung it there for a moment as if hesitating whether he should touch her before withdrawing his hand dejectedly.With a sigh, he turned and walked out the door.

Heather was silent from the shock.

This was the first tshe had experienced anything like this.

When she was younger, the only people around her were servants or her family.

None of them would dare do this to her.

Now that she was an adult and had met all sorts of men, anyone who tried to get close to her was beaten and thrown out the door.

Over time, anyone who even had the thought of approaching her was driven away by her murderous aura.

As for Ralph...

Could it be due to the unusual circumstances they were forced into? Was it that she had let her guard down? Maybe it was because no one had ever talked to her like this before...

Once she had returned to her senses, she reflexively reached out to grab his wrist.

"Stop!" Ralph's heart skipped a beat, and he stopped dead in his tracks, standing up straight.

Although he didn't look back, he secretly cursed himself for how he reacted.He had expected her to stop him.

After all, no woman could resist when he pulled this trick on them.

However, his body trembled when he heard Heather's voice.

Even if he didn't turn his head, he was still stunned.

Once he gathered his thoughts, he reminded himself not to be cowardly.

Otherwise, he would be stepped on for the rest of his life.

That way, he would never be able to take over the Riggs properties.

Ralph slowly turned his head to look at her.

"Heather..." He paused.

Seeing that she didn't push him away, he licked his lips, which caused a burst of pain.

He endured the pain and continued, "I know you have your concerns, and | also know that people like us do not have many choices.

"I'm aware of what | am in the eyes of others.I'm just a Russell with no real power to my name.With you by my side, I'd definitely climb the social ladder.Whatever it is, | wish you all the happiness in the world." He smiled helplessly and said, "Please letgo." "Shut up!" Heather yelled.

"That's a bunch of nonsense! "Who do you takefor? Can my marriage be called on and off just like that? When | haven't even spoken, how can you say anything? We're getting married, I'll tell you that much.Don't even think about calling the marriage off!" Although her tone was fierce, her eyes were not as murderous as before.

They even looked a little gentle.
