Wanting to Marry

"Fat boy, I really like you. Do you like me too?"

The sudden question left Nathan speechless.

He wasn't someone who could express his feelings easily. His body felt stiff for a long time, unable to utter a single word from his mouth.

Ella felt a little disappointed when she realized this.

She thought that this fat kid also liked her, even if only a little. She also wished she could hear it from Nathan's own mouth.

"I… I'm not ready," Nathan muttered.

Hearing Nathan's voice, Ella felt a little surprised. What kind of answer was that? What did he need to be ready for?

Shouldn't he just have to nod?

Before Ella could ask, Nathan answered seriously. "If you want to marry me, I have to think about it. I've heard on TV that marriage is a lifetime decision, it can't be decided on a whim."

Holding the ointment in his hand, Nathan lowered his head and thought about the matter very seriously.
