After Being Cheating novel Chapter 121

Chuck smiled at his daughter and was just about to close the door.

But Angela was anxious, and she immediately wedged herself in the door to stop it from closing. "Mother, do you even know who your son is chasing?" she asked.

Chuck was worried that Angela would be hurt, and so he opened the door again, and said, "Be careful! Don't get hurt."

"Father, do you know? My brother is chasing after Nicole!" said Angela.

Daisy, who was rubbing her face, calmly said, "Nicole... What Nicole?" Immediately after she asked she moved a couple of inches away from Angela.

Angela was shocked and replied, "Mother, it's Nicole, mother* Lola's daughter!"

This time, Daisy realized the seriousness of the matter, and Chuck also looked pretty pensive. Daisy then quickly took off the mask she was applying on her face and immediately picked up her phone to call her son.

"What on Earth is he doing now? Can't he just hang out with Nicole?" said Chuck. He wondered since when his son had become so unreliable.

Daisy soon got through with Sven on the phone, but at that moment Sven was climbing the stairs along with Nicole.

When he saw that his mother was calling him, Sven knew that it was Angela who had ratted him out! "Mother, I'm going to bed now, I'm really sleepy. If there's anything, let's talk about it tomorrow!" said Sven.

"You're going to bed? With who?" Daisy was a little nervous when she asked her son this question.

Sven glanced at Nicole, who was already in his apartment now, and replied, "That's my own business, so please don't be so indiscreet."

"Sven Si! Why are you so capricious? You can't hook up with Nicole! She's not the sort of playful girl that you usually date, and you can't flirt with her and can't be so willing to be with her!" said Daisy. She didn't want her son to screw up things.

Sven massaged the painful spot between his eyebrows, and said, "Why am I capricious? I know what I'm doing, and please don't interfere in my affairs, OK?"

Daisy kept her silence for a while, and then gently asked, "Sven, are you really serious?"

"Um, " replied Sven. He then stood up and went to get Nicole a glass of water.

Daisy thought for a whole, and said, "Sven, Nicole is about six years older than you are... Oh no, it's actually seven years. I can't accept this. You're younger than her and you're not right for each other."

She also thought that they had little in common and wouldn't have anything in common.

After Sven filled the glass with water, he put it in front of Nicole. Nicole smiled at him, and heard him say, "Age isn't important here, and what really counts is that Nicole is a woman and I'm a man! That's enough!"

He thought that no matter how old a woman was, she still needed to be cared for and protected by a man.

Nicole raised the glass of water to her lips. But she didn't drink the water at all. She was wondering what Sven had meant with that...

"Are you with Nicole now?" asked Daisy. She was confused, and thought that perhaps maybe Nicole wasn't in Sven's apartment, because Sven was a clean freak just like Chuck was, and never took his girlfriends to his apartment...

"Mother, I'm not a child anymore. You just take care of Angela and don't worry about me. I have to hang up now! Bye!" said Sven.

He sat opposite to Nicole and then they began to look at each other.

"Sven Si, I warn you! Behave yourself! Otherwise, I won't let you off so easily!" Daisy kept on warning and threatening Sven, but Sven had already hung up the phone on her.

When Daisy called him again, she found that his phone had been also powered off.

"Sven, what did you mean just now?" asked Nicole. She probably understood what he meant, but she still wanted to ask Sven to confirm it for her.

Sven reclined on the sofa and looked at her, smiling. "Nicole, be my girlfriend!" he said.

...

There were a lot of men who had chased her.

And there were also countless men who had expressed their love for her, but she had just ignored them.

Perhaps it was because of her rich family that she grew up as a lady bearing high tastes; she didn't care about any ordinary, normal things.

The same applied to the men.

Sven...

She just breathed and pondered for a while, and then said, "Sven, mother* Daisy just said that our age..."

"Yes, she did mention of that earlier, but I don't think that age really matters, " said Sven. He suddenly stood up and sat beside Nicole.

He sternly looked her into her eyes, and said, "You're a woman, and more than that, you're also a capable woman, but no matter how capable you are, you still need a man to look after you from time to time."

He thought that he could look after her and take care of her.

At that moment, it became very quiet in the apartment. Nicole, who was blushing, moved aside to make more room for him. "I... I'm sorry, Sven. You're too young and maybe we're not right for each other, " she said.

Although they had indeed kissed each other, she knew that that was just a game, and she didn't want to ruin the whole vibe.

Sven moved closer to her, stretched out his hand to hold her shoulders, and made her turn towards him to face him.

"Nicole, you ignored your father's objections, and lived and worked in America all of these years. Do you really enjoy life there?" asked Sven.

Nicole blinked and kept her eyes off him. "I'm very well off there. Everyone is afraid of the SL Group's power and no one dares to bully me there, " she said.

"You've just focused on your work every single day and you've become a workaholic like your father. You're not even married yet, and do you know that your father and mother are very anxious about you and your future?" said Sven.

When she heard him, Nicole stared at him and was a little bit confused, because she had no idea of that. Her father and mother had never urged her to get married!

Sven smiled and then slowly got closer to her; Nicole could even smell the alcohol vapors coming out of him.

He was handsome, but he now acted like a rowdy.

"Sven, don't..." said Nicole. She wanted to push Sven's arm away because of the strange feeling he gave her, but Sven didn't release Nicole from his grip, and even pressed her on the sofa, kissing her...

Perhaps she was enchanted by the strong alcohol taste in his mouth, and Nicole didn't push him away again.

"Nicole, I don't want you to be my sister; I just want you to be my... woman, " said Sven.

Nicole slightly gasped and looked at Sven who pressed on her body more and more. "I... Let me think it over and I'll tell you my decision, " she said.

Sven had showed his love for her all of a sudden, and Nicole was a little stunned by this.

"Give me your answer right now!" said Sven. He knew that Nicole would fly back to America tomorrow afternoon.

Nicole thought for a moment and then shook her head, and said, "I live in America all year round, and you're here. A long distance relationship... I can't accept."

"Nicole, you will come back sooner or later. Do you really want to marry a foreigner?" said Sven. When he uttered that last sentence, he gripped her wrist even more tightly.

She, of course, wouldn't marry a foreigner, because although she lived in America throughout the year, she didn't really like foreigners at all and also wouldn't marry any of them.

"I just... I can't come back as often as I want, " said Nicole.

Sven looked at her lovely lips and couldn't help but kiss them again. "Nicole, it's time for you to get married. Please come back to C Country and marry me..." he said.

Moreover, Sven took out a ring and put it on Nicole's ring finger.

So... What had happened tonight had been already planned by him and Janet.

Tonight was Sven's perfect opportunity to express his love; yesterday and tomorrow wouldn't do.

At that moment, when Nicole looked at the diamond ring on her finger, she was completely flabbergasted. Sven had not only confessed his love, but had also proposed to her for marriage!

He knew that Nicole was at an age that prompted her to believe that getting married was way more important than casual dating. He had planned to marry Nicole first and then take good care of her.
