Chapter 841 One Knows Not What To Occur (Part Two)
"Mr. Lawrence, please eat more. Aunt Selina ordered these for you especially. I heard that those are
your favorite food," Mary broke the dead silence with an embarrassed expression. Taking notice that
the impassive man opposite her paid no heed to her, she felt like a clown. But since he was Lawrence
Chu, she couldn't throw a tantrum in front of him. She just wished that he didn't detest her. Her ultimate
goal was to be her woman and she wouldn't fail.
"I will," Lawrence responded, devoid of any expressions.
"Ummmm you must have learnt about my family. My Dad is..." But before Mary could finish, Lawrence
cut into the conversation.
"I know," the dominating young man began with a poker face. He put down his chopsticks and leaned
back against the chair. "Come on! Let's get straight to the point," he said in a cold voice, focusing his
gaze on Mary.
With a coy expression, Mary lowered her head. She said in a low, sweet voice, "I think we're a good
match. Today, we already met each other. Do you think we should..."
And there she stopped. She couldn't finish her sentence due to embarrassment. She knew it wasn't her
role as a lady to bring that matter up. She moved her gaze back to Lawrence expecting him to get the
point.
"Do you mean to marry me?" Lawrence asked plainly while staring at the window.
"Yes. It's my dream to be married to you," Mary replied with a flush. She felt slightly bashful to blurt out
her thoughts in front of Lawrence.
"Do you think you deserve me?" Lawrence asked frankly. Even though he only knew her for a short
time, he thought he had learnt what sort of person the woman in front of him was.
"Excuse... Excuse me?" Mary responded in surprise. She stared at Lawrence who was still looking
outside the window. 'Although I can only see his side face, I can feel the great charisma he radiates. If I C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
can stay by his side, I will be as shining as a star in the dark sky, ' she imagined obsessively.
As Lawrence didn't respond, Mary was starting to lose her patience. She didn't imagine their first date
to be like this. So she stood up and walked to his side. "I admit that you are from a wealthy and
influential family, but my family also has some influence. You should know the role of my Dad in the
government. The Han family is a respectable one in the city. How could you say such rude words?" she
said, flustered. She wanted Lawrence to understand who she was and what her family stood for.
"Do you think you're good enough for me? I expect my woman to be pure. Have you maintained your
virtue? Do you think you can meet my standards?" Lawrence threw these questions at Mary with a
scornful look.
"I..." Mary faltered. She wasn't a virgin anymore. She lost her virginity to a classmate when she was in
college.
"Are you trying to say that you're still a virgin?" Lawrence continued of derision without switching his
deep-set eyes to Mary.
Mary opened her mouth and tried to say something but stopped. She must tell the truth but not to
sound guilty. This was her make or break moment. After a long pause, she replied awkwardly, "I had
slept with one man, but it happened three years ago. In the past three years, I have never..."
Lawrence interrupted her again.
"You can leave now," he snapped at her. "I don't know why Aunt would choose you. If you get out of
here now, I can forgive you."
As Lawrence nudged her to leave, Mary panicked and didn't know what to do. This was not what she
imagined the date would end. And she knew she must do something to try to change the mood.
Without too much thinking, she sat on Lawrence's lap and put her arms around his neck.
Even though Mary was so close to him, Lawrence still didn't look back at her. However, Lawrence could
now smell the pungent perfume and it disgusted him.
With her eyes glued on Lawrence's piercing eyes and bushy eyebrows, Mary was on the edge of
bursting into tears. She had prepared so long for this meeting and expected she could win Lawrence's
heart. There was no way for her to give up on him and just accept the result.
"Mr. Lawrence, please have a look at me. I'm better than many women. I really am a good girl," Mary
pleaded incoherently, desperate to have his attention.
Lawrence found the loose woman disgusting. Before he intended to tell Mary off, he saw the door was
opened.
No sooner had Aria pushed the door open that she saw the scene unfolded before her. Mary threw her
arms around a man's neck and she sat on his lap. From where she stood, she felt like she could almost
see Mary's underwear.
A hint of contempt rose in Aria's heart. 'It is their first meeting. How could they be so intimate? What
has Mary done to get the man?' she wondered.
"It's you," Mary exclaimed in surprise at the sight of Aria. 'How could this shameless woman find me
here?' Mary wondered in anger.
"I am so flattered. I thought that you already forgot me," Aria taunted with a grin. She walked inside the
room and closed the door behind her. Now that the man had fallen for Mary, she planned to destroy
their relationship or even steal him away from her.
Lawrence was stunned, not knowing what was going on. He surveyed Aria from head to toe. This
woman who broke in here was totally different from the woman on his lap. It looked like the former was
a pauper and the latter was a princess. She had no taste for clothes. She didn't wear makeup. She had
tousled hair. She even went to the hotel in her sneakers. 'I have no idea how to judge this woman, ' he
thought.
Although he didn't understand the situation, he knew that a show was about to begin.
'Now that I want to marry Lawrence, I must behave myself in front of him. Otherwise, I might not be
able to continue to stay in the upper class, ' Mary pondered to herself. She was determined to stay
classy what happened.
Mary loosened her grip slowly. She got up and walked over to Aria. "What are you doing here? Get out!
You're not welcome here," she said to Aria furiously.
"I am not here for you," Aria sneered, as she shoved Mary away. She walked further inside to the room
and stopped in front of Lawrence.
Lawrence looked into Aria's eyes with interest. He somehow enjoyed looking at such a clean face
without makeup. 'It looked comfortable, ' he thought.
"Hello, I'm Aria Liu. But I am not Mary's friend," Aria Liu addressed.
"Aria Liu?" Lawrence repeated without taking his eyes off her. "I'm Lawrence Chu," he greeted back.
Lawrence Chu? The name rang a bell. She had heard the name somewhere else. He seems to have
something to do with a company, she recalled. But she couldn't remember the company's name.
Seeing Aria lost in thought, Mary felt that she might stand in the way of her happiness. She strode
forward and stopped between Aria and Lawrence. With her back on Lawrence, she glowered at Aria.
"What in the world do you want? If you want money, you can leave now. I will give it to you tomorrow,"
she said with a sullen look.
'Money?' Lawrence muttered to himself quietly. Their conversation piqued his interest. Why would this
new girl wanted money from Mary? Lawrence found himself more interested in Aria than in Mary.
