Too Soon
"Ton..."
Anthon looked at her silently, scared of her possible answer.
"You're blowing my mind away! " She said as she held his left hand and placed it in her chest.
Anthon still remained silent as he felt her racing hearbeat.
"That's too soon! Let me first take a deep breath. "
Too soon? So, it meant she's not refusing. His heart that was now wrapped with fear, slowly calmed down.
"I'll wait, Jia. "
"I'm afraid."
Anthon knew that this was something sensitive and his proposal, indeed, fell like a bomb to her. It was just two years since Jim passed away and he knew that this may not be enough for Jia to recuperate. Aside from this, his dad was a business tycoon and Jia may be afraid that she would ruin his image. For the people who did not know about their story, it might appear that she married Mr. Wayne's two sons because of her greed for wealth.
"Okay, just forget it." Anthon said, brushing her hair away.
