Chapter 380


    With one hand supporting his chin, Kent said thest sentence with a seemingly gentle and sincere


    expression on his face. Although it was apparent that he was just joking around, J could tell that he


    was somewhat serious.


    ‘Wait, serious?’ she thought to herself.


    How could he of all men be serious about anyone?


    He probably just wanted to see her panic and embarrassment in response to his jest.


    With a smile, J supported her face by cing her hands on her cheeks, and responded in a sugary


    voice, “If I really did get divorced, Mr. Perkins, would you marry me?”


    Kent’s heart skipped a beat and then started racing when he saw her smile.


    However, he didn’t know what to say to her question.


    He had to admit that he was dumbstruck by her words.


    Marry her?


    Marriage was something that he had never given the slightest thought.


    He had been ying the field for years and it never urred to him once to get hitched.


    He had toyed with the idea that someday his parents might perhaps ask him to marry a woman of their


    choosing of equal status to their own family. With one hand supporting his chin, Kent said thest


    sentence with a seemingly gentle and sincere expression on his face. Although it was apparent that he


    was just joking around, J could tell that he was somewhat serious.


    But that was something he thought was in the distant future.


    However, when he heard J’s question just now, he thought about it for a while and was shocked to


    find that he actually could live with this idea.


    When she noticed that he wasn’t going to answer, she burst intoughter and said, “Don’t make such a


    joke, alright? How could a man like you ever marry me? Besides, I won’t divorce my husband just


    because he is poor. He is a good, wonderful guy.”


    When she said this, her eyes were full of sincere seriousness.


    The smile on Kent’s face froze.


    “Thank you for helping me so many times, but you’d better give up on me. I won’t ever cheat on my


    husband,” J said with firm conviction.


    “Can we be friends then?” Kent smiled and said calmly. “Miss Lind?”


    “My friends are all decent and kind-hearted people. They don’t y with women’s feelings to get them


    in bed,” J said after considering his proposal.


    Kent was rendered speechless. He thenined, “What are you talking about? I can’t get you off


    my mind and I haven’t been with a woman for three days already.”


    J covered her smile with her hand but her smile was still apparent from the crinkles at the corners


    of her eyes. Perhaps she felt that it was wholly inappropriate for her to smile at this juncture. She


    pursed her lips momentarily and then said, “Okay, keep up then. But I suppose it will be difficult.”

    The waiter served them two cups of coffee. The pleasant aroma of roasted coffee beans filled the cold,


    wintery air.


    After saying thanks to the waiter, J took a few sips of her coffee and turned to look at the clock on


    the wall of the coffeehouse. With the coffee still in her grasp, she said, “It’s gettingte. I’m going to


    head home now.”


    Knowing that he had no reason to ask her to stay, Kent gently replied, “Alright. I had fun.”


    After paying the bill, J left the shop.


    Kent’s coffee was still untouched. He watched J’s receding figure, filled with newfound bitterness.
