Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 54

"What are you doing?!" Kieran and I sat up immediately. Kieran got out of bed with a long face. Perhaps Marlon freaked out the neat freak in Kieran by staying so close to him.

I also quickly got out of bed and sat on the sofa. Kieran looked annoyed.

Marlon leisurely sat up, tidied up his clothes, and slowly lounge on another sofa. "I was just trying to feel closer to you!"

"You can save this for your fiancée. All I need is to keep Rachel close to me!" Kieran sat next to me and said, "Rachael, what do you want for our engagement ceremony?"

"You can decide for me!" I smiled at Kieran.

"I know you like it to be simple and neat, like a fairy tale!"

I was a little surprised, because Kieran was right. I had dreamt of having such a ceremony when I was with Marlon. It didn't need to be extravagant or grand, but I wanted to feel like Snow White in it.

"How do you know?" I asked.

Kieran fondled my head and leaned down closer to me, his face almost touching mine. "How can I not!"

I looked into his scarlet eyes and was dumbfounded. His simple answer was filled with love; so were his red eyes. If one of his fans saw this, she would probably have a heart attack. I had to admit this version of Kieran was truly bewitching.

If I hadn't met Marlon first and fallen in deep love with him deep, and if I hadn't known Kieran was like a demon and all of this was just a show, I would have fallen head over heels for him like any other women.

Marlon's inky eyes narrowed as he said, "An engagement ceremony is no big deal? What's there to talk about? At least it should have a unique style."

"That is not the point. What matters is how Rachael wants it to be. Rachael, what kind of engagement rings do you fancy?" Kieran said softly and sat back down.

"I don't care the shape of it. I will like it all the same if it is from you!" I smiled sweetly at Kieran. Rachael, you were Kieran's fiancée now. You were Kieran's fiancée! I hypnotized myself. Only in this way could I barely keep up with Kieran's sweet words.

Marlon snorted coldly, "How long will this ridiculous show last? You don't need to try so hard for the lies. Otherwise, it will come back at you hard!"

"Mr. Redford, you seem confident. Rachael, for Mr. Redford's sake, we must love each other forever and ever!" Kieran smiled.

I also smiled but didn't say anything.

Although I had predicted there would be no sleep tonight, I was still surprised when it came true. The show went on all night, and I was so sleepy that I couldn't keep my eyes open. Nevertheless, it was a small price to pay for the big plan.

At last, the dawn fell.

There was a knock on the door. It must be Alicia. Sure enough, Alicia opened the door and entered. She smiled sweetly and said, "Marlon, good morning!"

Alicia was wearing a long pink dress by her ankles. Her long hair was loose, and she was wearing light makeup. It seemed effortless, but it was not. Alicia already calmed down because she had all night to comfort herself. At the very least, she looked cheerful, innocent, and sweet.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Alicia sat down beside Marlon and looked at him docilely.

"It was okay!" Marlon answered gently.

"Great. I was worried you would feel uncomfortable at sharing the bed with two people!" Alicia said as if she was joking. Then she turned to me, her face full of shock. "Rachael, where’s the necklace given by Mr. Charles? Did you lose that precious thing?" Without waiting for me to speak, Alicia added playfully, "Could it be that Mr. Charles has taken it back because he felt it was too valuable for you?"

I was embarrassed. I had returned the necklace to Kieran that night. It was not on me, apparently.

"Miss Alicia, it seems like you have forgotten something. That necklace was dirty because someone Rachael doesn't like had touched it. How could Rachel keep such a filthy thing? She needs a new one that goes better with her!" Kieran said slowly.

The smile on Alicia's face stiffened, but she forced her words, "Mr. Charles is really a prankster! Breakfast is ready. Let's go to have breakfast!" She changed the topic halfway.

Kieran didn't refuse, so we went downstairs together to eat.

On the dining table, Marvin kept fawning over Marlon and Kieran like a dog.

"Marlon, L Bridal Shop called saying our dress are ready. Let's go take a look after breakfast!" Alicia said coquettishly holding Marlon's hand.

"Alright!" Marlon agreed.

"By the way, Rachael, you haven't seen your engagement dress yet, right? Why don't you come with us? L Bridal Shop is the best in its business. Engagement ceremony happens once in a lifetime. You must have the best dress!" Alicia smiled to me. However, in her eyes, I could see mockery and gloat.

"Sure. We can go to another store if you don't like that one!" Kieran immediately agreed.

"Good, good. I will go with you!" Marvin said happily.

"No need!" Kieran, Marlon, Alicia, and I quickly rejected in unison.

Marvin felt awkward.

After dinner, we drove to L Bridal Shop in two teams.

"Rachael, I'll see you later!" Alicia, who was sitting in Marlon's passenger seat, lowered the window and said sweetly to me in the front.

"Alright!" I said indifferently.

Seeing Marlon drive away, I felt conflicted in Kieran's car. Were we really going to L Bridal Shop? Sometimes, I was afraid the show would come into reality. However, if Kieran didn't stop, I must play along.

"I am impressed!" Kieran said.

I looked at him in surprise. This was his first compliment. But then Kieran gave me the cold silent treatment all the way there, because no audience meant no show.

However, a question had come to me since last night. I couldn't ask Kieran because Marlon was there. Looking at Kieran's profile, I hesitated for a long time before asking, "Why did you ask that question last night?"

Marlon had his back to me and couldn't see me enter the garden then. However, Kieran was facing me, so he saw me the moment I entered. That said, Kieran still loudly asked Marlon why he treated me like trash even though he knew I took fancy for him.

I knew Kieran wanted me to know the answer instead of merely being curious about it.
