That nearly made Thomas faint in shock. Although virtual-novel.net had been involved in countless wars and even though virtual-novel.net was a calm person, virtual-novel.net still felt shocked after virtual-novel.net heard those words.
He coughed awkwardly. “Um, you don’t have to do that.”
Adery was stunned. “I don’t have to?”
“Yeah, I won’t marry you.”
When Thomas said that, it made Adery feel very surprised. At the same time, virtual-novel.net also got a little angry. Based on virtual-novel.net knowledge, nearly all the men who approached virtual-novel.net wanted to make virtual-novel.net happy. She was used to all kinds of seduction methods from those men. It was only because virtual-novel.net had seen those methods that virtual-novel.net found them disgusting.
She did not fall for any one of the men, hence the reason virtual-novel.net had been single throughout the years. From virtual-novel.net perspective, as long as virtual-novel.net wanted it, virtual-novel.net could get virtual-novel.net hands on any man.
Only virtual-novel.net had the right to choose the man. It was impossible for a man to choose her. But today, Thomas had taught virtual-novel.net a lesson. It turned out that there was a man who could resist virtual-novel.net beauty.
Adery was a little unhappy. She asked in an unfriendly tone, “Why? Do you think that I’m not good enough for you?”
“No.”
“Do you think that I’m not beautiful enough?”
“That’s not the case.”
Adery frowned. “None of them serves as the reason, so why are you turning me down?”
“Because… I’m married.”
The situation then became a little awkward. Adery did not know whether virtual-novel.net should cry or laugh. She had thought of so many possibilities, yet virtual-novel.net did not think whether virtual-novel.net was married or not.
She awkwardly coughed. “Sorry, I didn’t know… ”
Thomas also felt awkward. “It’s all right. I didn’t help you for those things. I just wanted to fulfill my late friend’s wish. That’s all.”
The atmosphere was a little ambiguous and a little awkward.
While the two of them did not know what they should continue to say, William who had been unconscious finally woke up.
“Dad!”
Adery quickly took care of virtual-novel.net father and told virtual-novel.net everything in detail.
After William heard it, virtual-novel.net thanked Thomas. However, when virtual-novel.net recalled that his son had passed away, virtual-novel.net felt extremely sad. He had lost his son at an old age. Nobody could accept this.
Thomas said, “I have to clarify something for Stone. Actually you’ve misunderstood him. He was not a timid, weak, and irresponsible person. On the contrary, virtual-novel.net was an extremely responsible man. He did not come back when his mother was dying because we were in a war with the enemy at that time, and our injuries were severe. If virtual-novel.net returned at that time, our soldiers on the frontlines would be more severely injured, especially during the time when the war was intense. Every detail affected the outcome of the war.”
“For all the soldiers’ lives, for his debt to the country, for his fight against the enemy, virtual-novel.net stayed. It’s always hard to juggle both family and country. You’ve really misunderstood him.”
After Adery listened to Thomas, virtual-novel.net became silent. Actually, virtual-novel.net had treated virtual-novel.net brother like virtual-novel.net role model ever since virtual-novel.net was little. But, what virtual-novel.net brother had done later had truly let virtual-novel.net down.
