Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2728

Elaine shook her head. "I'm not joking with you. Andrew, you have to marry Valerie. As for the reason, you should already know. She got angry and confessed everything that you did to her. When Finnegan heard about it, he was furious. You have to take responsibility."

Andrew's brows furrowed deeply. Just moments ago, Valerie had returned with him from the Advanced Medical Institute. He had practically shaken an entire peach blossom tree for her, and it had been such a beautiful memory. Yet, she went and betrayed him, telling Finnegan about those stupid little incidents from the past.

Among Chetvine's major families, every family head was a person of high status and power.

The strongest fighter was Sergio, head of the Harding family. However, the one with the most backing, the most domineering and fierce personality, was Finnegan.

Andrew did not fear the Reyes family, but he also did not want to get involved with Finnegan. Yet now, even Elaine had shown up on his doorstep.

Did this mean he absolutely had to go to pay him a visit?

Also, what the hell was Valerie playing at? Her mood swings were all over the place!

There was no way he was going to marry Valerie just because Finnegan said so. Forget the fact that they had no feelings for each other; it was also a complete mismatch pushed by force.

Even if he were to get married one day, his other women came long before Valerie ever would.

So, Andrew flatly refused. "Go? Sure, I can meet Mr. Reyes Senior. But marry Valerie? Sorry, I can't do that."

Hearing this, Elaine replied with displeasure, "Andrew, we're partners now. I don't want to make this too difficult. But you've already seen Valerie's body, and you should know how serious that is for a young woman. Besides, you're both young adults at the right age to discuss marriage. Valerie is absolutely worthy of you. If not now, you'll have to make good on this eventually."

He continued, "If you want me to take responsibility for Valerie, fine. I'll pay compensation. Consider me scared of the Reyes family, alright? But marrying her? Sorry, unless Mr. Reyes Senior shows up to tie me up himself, it's not happening."

Elaine stood up abruptly, saying coldly, "Since you refuse to see reason, then you better be prepared for what comes next."

After taking two steps, Elaine turned back and said earnestly, "Are you really clueless, or are you pretending? There are millions of relationships in this world, but only genuine feelings count as real love. Valerie is fine, but I don't like her. She doesn't like me either. So why force it?"

Elaine replied flatly, "Feelings can grow afterward. Besides, how do you know Valerie doesn't like you? Do you know that after she returned from the Advanced Medical Institute, she cried the entire night?"

Andrew was stunned. "Why?"
