"Not yet, but that doesn't mean I won't," Haisley gently rejected. "He has fought for me until now; I think, as a sincere response to his efforts, I can give him a chance. I just have to think about all the goodness he has, and I know that love will come because of familiarity. That has been a common saying we've heard for a long time, hasn't it? "Even though for some people, love comes after quite a while, I'm sure I can bring that feeling for Dean because he's not a difficult person to love." "But with him, your life will feel bland, flat," Nathan commented again. Haisley shrugged. "For someone like me, comfort is paramount. You know I'm not one to speculate. So, Dean has already made me calm with everything. "I don't need to worry that he will take impulsive actions like Gilbert. I also don't need to puzzle over what's in his head like I do with you. And Dean is also a person who expresses what he feels right away, so I won't misunderstand because he keeps everything to himself

Haisley rests her forehead on Nathan's shoulder again. She takes a deep breath and exhales slowly, never letting go of her embrace around his neck. "I'm sorry," she whispers softly. Nathan also falls silent and chooses to listen. His hands are clasped at Haisley's waist, and he places his chin on top of her head. He, too, takes a deep breath and exhales slowly. "No need to apologize. I'm the one who should apologize here," he responds softly. And those words make Haisley feel breathless for a moment. "I asked too much from you, yet I've never given you anything. No kindness, no hope. I haven't planted a single goodness all this time, but suddenly I'm asking for all that goodness from you. I have no shame," Nathan says with a sad smile on his face. "But I want you to know, I've fallen in love with you. And perhaps you can say this is some kind of punishment that God gives me because I've wasted you all this time. So now, He wants me to know that this has been your feeling toward me.

Now, only Haisley and Nathan remained. Haisley chose to sit in a chair by the pool, feeling the breeze in silence. Nathan placed a thin blanket over his shoulders before sitting beside her and hugging her. He wrapped his arms around Haisley's stomach and rested his chin on her shoulder. "What are you thinking?" Nathan asked curiously. Haisley remained silent for quite some time before answering. "A lot," she whispered. She then lowered her head, covering her face with both hands, and soon Nathan felt the girl's body shaking, her soft sobs heard between her fingers. Haisley was crying. Nathan reached for her shoulder and shifted his position so that Haisley now sat sideways on his lap. One of his hands lifted, pushing Haisley's head to lean on his shoulder before gently stroking her head. Meanwhile, his right hand caressed Haisley's arm slowly. "Shhhhh," he whispered, trying to comfort her. "Everything will be okay," he assured in a soft tone. Now his hand moved up and down her ba

Haisley knew she was wrong. She didn't think that far. She knew her father would be disappointed if she got married without asking for his blessing. But Haisley believed her parents would understand her actions. Something then flashed in her mind. "I can ask Juan and Crystal to bring them here. I can also contact Aunt Monica, and you just need to call your father. He's the farthest from here. We can process the wedding in two days if you tell your father right now. At least he can take the earliest flight and arrive here as soon as possible." "You're crazy, Haisley," Nathan groaned. Haisley's thoughts clearly seemed unreasonable. Haisley froze, standing still with her eyes locked on Nathan. "I am indeed crazy, Nath. But at least my craziness doesn't exceed Loretta's. It's your fate to be surrounded by crazy women like us. "I leave all decisions to you, Nath. If you really don't want to marry me soon, don't blame me if I never want to see you again for the rest of my life," she sa

Haisley then reached for the pillow she had used earlier. She pulled out a flat object from it and showed it to Nathan. "G gave me this before they left," Haisley said with a smile on her face. "He said I should hide it from you and contact him if I need help," she explained, shrugging. "What do you mean?" Nathan asked, not understanding. "Well, he would run away with me if I wanted. Dean also said that if you did anything, anything I didn't like, he would come back here and take me away from you," she said, causing Nathan to instantly tense up. "Don't do anything foolish. I definitely won't allow it," Nathan growled. Haisley nodded. "That's what I told him too. But Dean said he could report you to the police for kidnapping. That way, he could also send you back to England to face charges along with Loretta's affairs," she continued, making Nathan even more furious. "Dean really cares about me more than he does about you," Haisley insisted, making Nathan raise an eyebrow in confu

The next day, Nathan's parents came along with Gilbert. Nathan's mother was clearly ecstatic when she found Haisley, joyfully embracing her tightly. The same joy was evident in Haisley's mother as well, as the women who had been friends for years finally came together. Nevertheless, a hint of sadness could still be seen on Haisley's face, though not too prominently. They then discussed their plans for the next day, including the blessing, the pastor, the wedding venue, and the post-celebration feast. While the parents were discussing the tight schedule, Haisley took the opportunity to inform her two friends about her hastily arranged wedding the next day. Abigail and Flavia were clearly surprised by the news. Abigail even bluntly asked if Haisley was pregnant out of wedlock. However, Haisley firmly replied 'no' to her friend and briefly recounted what had actually happened to her and Nathan, leading to their decision to get married quickly. "If you want," Flavia said in her usual s
Loving You Too Long Part 90
Abigail, her friend, looked beautiful in a white dress. It had a Sabrina neckline with straps on each shoulder. The bottom reached her ankles, and when she walked, the dress swayed along with her. Abigail always looked beautiful in Haisley's eyes. She was a friendly and brilliant girl with occasionally crazy ideas. No one would think that at her teenage age, she was already skilled at matchmaking – even though her own love story never succeeded because the only one she loved until now was Gilbert. And no one knew that, even at her young age, Abigail was already good at making money. Clearly, she would become a wealthy woman someday. Flavia, Abigail's friend and cousin, had a personality far different from Abigail's. Flavia was a shy and reserved girl, speaking only when necessary. She had a pure and academically sharp mind. Like Abigail and Haisley, she also had someone she admired, although Abigail now said that Flavia no longer hoped for success in her relationship with the man sh
Loving You Too Long Part 91
After having a meal with his family, a decision was made to return. Nathan took Haisley back to the villa they had rented, of course, under the insistence of the parents who understood what the new couple wanted. While the parents planned to return to Manhattan after Haisley left, Flavia kindly asked everyone to stay in the villa and enjoy the vacation as long as they wanted. Haisley's friend mentioned that she was happy because the villa was occupied, especially since Flavia really liked Haisley's three-year-old niece, who was in her active and talkative phase. Haisley felt embarrassed hearing the parents' encouragement because, even though it was said jokingly, she knew there was a hidden meaning from them. Everyone knew what the new couple would face. It was just a matter of time before the bomb exploded. Both they and Haisley knew that she had to make the most of her time with Nathan before the real problems arose. In the short journey from Flavia's villa to Nathan's rented plac
