Chapter 72 The Engagement (Part One)
Thest time Terence was in BH City, he was so close to having sex with her. Now that she was in his
arms again, and they were both lying in her bed, Terence felt he was turned on.
He still remembered how bitter and wronged he feltst time she refused him.
He felt like she was a glorious meal that had been served in a te and ced right in front of him. An
inch away and he would eat her alive. But the te had an invisible cover that prevented him from
touching her.
Or maybe, he just wanted the cover to open up itself rather than opening it by force.
"Ca? Were you asleep?" Terence tried to call her again to test if she had really fallen asleep.
He waited and waited but there was no response.
Ca fell into her dreams as soon as her skin touched the bed. She had been having a hard time falling
asleeptely until tonight. Though she waspletely rxed, her arms still covered her body as a

gesture of protecting herself. Terence, on the other side of the bed, could clearly hear her rhythmic
breathing.
He tried, with all his strength, to suppress the desireing from between his legs. He breathed
heavily and reached over to her earlobe, giving it a soft yet vengeful bite suddenly. The woman had
already fallen in deep sleep and had no idea what the man lying beside her was going through. Feeling
ufortable and dejected, Terence returned to his side of the bed and forced himself to sleep.
Around six o''clock the next morning, Ca was woken up from her dreams by a loud noiseing
from the living room.
"Terence! You told mest night that I''d still see you when I wake up in the morning! Yey! You''re really
here! Tell me, tell me! Do you know any kind of magic or something? Like Harry Potter?! You know like
when you cast a spell and you''ll just show up in front of people! That is so cool!"
Seanughed out aloud like it was Christmas morning. He curled up onto Terence''s arm like a Ko
and screamed with excitement.
"Of course I know magic. You know what? I know every kind of magic in the world. If you don''t believe
me, see it for yourself on the bookshelf in your room!"
Terence imed with confidence and patted Sean''s shoulder. He noticed that Sean had grown taller.
The kid''s height barely reached his belly button when they first met and now, Sean was almost
towering his chest.
Sean couldn''t believe what he just heard and suddenly dropped himself down to the floor, rushing
inside his room.
Ten secondster... "Oh my god!" Sean couldn''t hold his extreme excitement and shrieked from his
room. "Terence! You got me the whole set of theic book! I only mentioned it once to you and you
remembered! I need to take this to school and show it around the ss so the other kids will know that
I have the whole collection! Thank you so much!"
Although Terence couldn''t see Sean''s face, he knew that little Sean was blown away by his simple
gesture. He guessed that Sean was already going through theic book after a long silence so he
turned around and opened the door of the master bedroom.
Ca heard his footsteps and suddenly threw herself on the pillow and pretended to be asleep. A few
breaths after, the door opened and Terence walked directly to the bed.
"Hey sleepy head, I know you''re already awake," Terence called out to her. He reached for the nket
and gently pulled it to the side. Seeing her unmoving body, he jumped to the bed and hugged her from
behind. ''Mmm, she''s so warm, '' Terence murmured softly.
Ca felt her body being wrapped by his arms so she opened one of her eyes to try and take a look at
him. Terence adjusted his position so Ca quickly closed the eye and kept her pretense of still being
asleep.
Slowly, a cozy feeling rose inside of her. She didn''t know when it all started but whenever she was
around Terence, she would automatically feelfortable, like she was at home. He was like her
guardian angel. Whenever difficulties came her way, he would appear right in front of her eyes and
protect her from any troubles.
Maybe she had already opened herself up to him, started to rely on him and constantly thought of him
even if she wasn''t aware. She tried to put a name to what she was feeling but she couldn''t find the right
word.
"Hey pumpkin, I''m heading back to JA City today. Since I''ve made Sean happy with thoseic books,
do you want to make me happy by giving me something in return?" Terence''s voice suddenly rose from
behind her. However, he didn''t sound normal. She could tell how hoarse his voice had be.
Terence bit her earlobe gently and brushed his lips softly at the back of her neck. Ca instantly felt a
stream of electric shock traveling down her spine. Suddenly, she could see numerous invisible pink
bubbles floating around in the air.
She felt goosebumps from her neck to her earlobe, sending a thousand butterflies in her stomach. Out
of impulse, she drew her neck away from his mouth and adjusted her position. She could feel the heat
radiating from her cheeks and the man''s body.
Knowing that she couldn''t hide it anymore, she turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck.
She reached over and gave him a light kiss on his right cheek.
"I haven''t brushed by teeth so don''t make me kiss somewhere else please." Ca gave a quick nce
at his seductive lips and leaned back on the bed.
A surprise kiss that she initiated herself made Terence very satisfied. Although it was just a brief touch
on his cheek, it was the first time that she was the one kissing him. Terence raised his eyebrows with
delight and curled up his lips. He didn''t give her any chance to escape as he grabbed onto her chin and
gave her a little peck on the lips.
"I don''t care about that. Come on, do it one more time!" Terence eximed afterwards.
Terence''s childish face amused her so she burst intoughter. She thought to herself, ''How on earth
can a man of his stature act like a baby? Even Sean could do a better job than this.'' The thought made
herugh even more.
"Hey Ca, are youughing at me? What is so funny though?" Terence had a feeling that she was
having some weird imagination about him. He pulled her close and pat her gently on the forehead with
his palm. He whispered to her ear, "Ca, can I graduate from your school of discipline now? I can''t do
this anymore."
As he whispered the words, he pulled her close to his body and rested his arm around her tiny waist,
locking her inside his warm embrace.
Ca used all of her strength to create a short distance from him. She then lied face-down on the bed,
just in case his hands decided to invade her.
Ca turned her head to Terence and tenderly exined, "Terence, I told you once and I''ll say it again
for you. My family has been very strict on me. Before my mom passed away, she told me over and over
again to keep myself safe from various men out there."
Marian—Ca''s mother—was very familiar with the woes of society so she was extremely prudent in
her way of educating Ca. Because of this, Ca inherited her mom''s cautiousness.
She knew that she might be seen as weird. However, she couldn''t care less about other people''s
opinion. Moreover, she had never been in a rtionship before. When she entered a rtionship with
someone, she wanted it to be serious. She wanted it to be with the right man, with someone that she
could see herself marrying in the future. She wanted to do it in the right ce at the right time as well.
Apparently, Terence hasn''t met her expectations quite yet.
"I know that society has changed drastically over the years. People are now more liberated and open-
minded with their beliefs. It''spletely normal for them to just randomly find someone and you know,
start rtionships, fall in love, even do ''it''. But... rtionships are messy and someone always gets
hurt. In many cases, good people have a higher chance, especially women," she smothered a sigh and
slowly uttered.
For her, saving her virginity wasn''t just because of her upbringing but also for the promise she made to
herself. She promised to save it for her husband on the day of their wedding.
