Chapter 618 Agree With The Marriage


    "Isis, you can tell me after you consider it and make a decision. After all, it''s an important milestone in


    your life. You need to think it over first. Now, you must be tired from the long journey back. Go back to


    the Isis Pavilion first and have a rest!" Lance reassuringly told Isis. He didn''t want her to feel pressured


    or forced to make a decision.


    Isis decided not to say anything. She nodded at her father and walked out of Lance''s study in silence.


    She went straight to the Isis Pavilion to rest.


    Meanwhile, Rocky had just returned from the Spiritual Fairnd. He decided to go to the Isis Pavilion to


    visit Sue, but along the way, he happened to meet Isis. It turned out that she was on her way to the Isis


    Pavilion to rest.


    "You are back?"


    "Why are you here?"


    They greeted each other in surprise but happened to speak at the same time. They paused at first, but


    they couldn''t help butugh at themselves.


    "You came at the right time. I want to talk to you about something." Isis'' smiling face suddenly turned


    grave. She gestured for Rocky to follow, as she walked into the Isis Pavilion.


    Rocky could guess from Isis'' expression that she wanted to talk about Lance''s proposal. From her


    behavior, he could sense her unwillingness to ept the marriage.


    They soon arrived at the Isis Pavilion. Sue shrieked in excitement when she saw Isis. She eximed,


    "Miss Isis, you''re back!"


    "Yes, I am." Isis gave Sue a gentle smile. She looked fondly at her like she was her younger sister.


    "Mr. Bai, you are also here!" Sue greeted Rocky politely when she saw him follow behind Isis.


    "Sue, I want to drink hibiscus tea. Can you go and pick some hibiscus flowers for me?" Isis sweetly


    asked Sue.


    "All right. I will go right away." Sue nodded her head at once. She took a flower basket from the corner


    and left the Isis Pavilion.


    Then, Isis went up to the attic, followed by Rocky.

    Isis suddenly stopped when they reached the attic. Behind her, Rocky stopped as well.


    An awkward silence settled over the room. In the end, Isis broke this silence and asked, "Have you


    made a decision?"


    "Not yet, but I will soon," Rocky, who was taken by surprise by the question, answered momentarily.


    "That''s so fast!" Isis gasped, her eyes wide. She stared at Rocky intently, as if she wasn''t sure if he


    was telling the truth.


    "I think so, too." Rocky nodded. If it wasn''t for what happenedst night, he wouldn''t have decided so


    quickly.


    "It seems that you won''t ept. Then, I can rest assured. Anyway, it is my father who decided on all of


    these. I just learned from him that he wants you..." While Isis was speaking, she slightly lowered her


    head. Sadness shed quickly in her eyes, though it was too fast for Rocky to see.


    "Who said that I don''t agree?" Rocky responded. The corners of his mouth twitched in a half-smile.


    Isis didn''t notice though. She looked up at Rocky in surprise and asked, "What do you mean?"


    "I mean, I have decided to agree to the Commander in Chief''s proposal," Rocky said with certainty. He


    decided so quickly because the situation had changed. It was obvious that the Timber Deity Empire


    was already targeting him. Laney failed to assassinate him this time, so the Timber Deity Empire would


    be sending more powerful killers. By then, it would be difficult for him to deal with the situation alone. It


    didn''t help that he angered Sabina so much that she left. He assumed that she wouldn''t protect him


    anymore. Even so, that didn''t matter. Since Sabina was Marcia''s apprentice, he didn''t want her


    protection anymore.


    Of course, Rocky had another way to avoid the Timber Deity Empire''s attack. He would need to leave


    the Gehenna Border. However, the Gehenna Border had many resources that he could use for his


    research. It was like a treasure house for him. If he left the Gehenna Border, he would need to find


    another ce with abundant resources. That would be a waste of time on his part. However, as long as


    he stayed on the Gehenna Border, his life was in danger. This was a dilemma that he had to face.


    Currently, Lance''s proposal was a good solution to this problem. It would stop the Timber Deity Empire


    from making a move against him. Besides that, it would also help him develop a base for his forces


    ahead of time. This was the best solution at present.


    As it was, Rocky had no choice but to marry Isis. It wasn''t a bad thing, because as long as he had the


    support of the Crimson Dragon Group, he could develop a base for his forces.


    "Do you really... agree?" Isis marveled at Rocky''s words. If Rocky agreed to marry her, then she had to


    make the decision now. If she didn''t agree with their marriage, Rocky might disappear again. The


    Crimson Dragon Army would lose its chip against the Timber Deity Empire. However, if she agreed,


    this marriage would be like a business deal. Both she and Rocky would have to pay a price to get the


    benefits they wanted. It made her feel a bit guilty. The only reason why her father put forward this


    proposal was that she had slept with Rocky before. If Rocky hadn''t done that to save her, she wouldn''t


    have ended up in such an awkward situation.


    Meanwhile, Rocky nodded but stayed silent.


    Isis didn''t know what to say. She just looked at Rocky, stunned. In fact, if Rocky agreed, things would


    be simpler. The decision would be in her hands. If she agreed, all problems would be smoothly


    solved.


    However, at this moment, Isis waspletely lost. She found it extremely difficult to make a choice.


    "It seems that even if I agree, you won''t. It makes sense. With your character, you will never put up with


    anything you don''t like. There is nothing to stop you from finding someone who is better than me and


    wouldn''t mind your past," Rocky encouragingly said when he noticed that she was still hesitating.


    "Actually, after that event, I''ve decided not to marry anyone," Isis said with a resolute expression.


    Rocky looked at her in surprise.


    He was entranced by the fierce determination he saw in her eyes. However, he was also saddened by


    her answer.


    "Why not?" Rocky asked earnestly, though he could guess her reason.


    "I''ve lost my virginity, and I know that any man would prefer their wife to be a virgin. Whoever I marry, I


    may not be happy. If so, why should I look for trouble for myself? It''s better to live alone. Good men are


    very rare, after all." Isis smiled. It seemed that she was just making excuses for herself.


    "Since you say so, then I am at fault. After all, I''m the one who..." Rocky uttered, a morose expression


    written over his face.


    "I don''t me you. It is the god of destiny that made fools out of us!" Isis spoke with a resigned sigh.


    "In that case, why don''t we have a fake marriage?" Rocky suggested after a short but thoughtful


    silence.
