Chapter 319

At that moment, Owen was sitting at the dining table with his heart in a mess.

He thought to himself, “I saved her last night. Would her impression of me in her heart have changed?

“I wonder if she likes the clothes I bought for her last night. I know her size but maybe she thinks they don’t suit her...’

As he was thinking, footsteps suddenly sounded, and he looked up to see Tara coming down from upstairs.

The next second, his eyes brightened. The pink sweater made her already fair face even more radiant, making her look fresh and clean.

The black pencil pants lined her straight and long legs, giving her a thin and tender aura.

Owen could not help but go into a daze upon seeing her.

Tara saw Owen staring at her silently and grew slightly apprehensive. “What’s the matter? Is there something wrong with me?”

Owen returned to his senses. He looked slightly embarrassed and coughed awkwardly. “No, you look great.”

The man’s flustered appearance made Tara’s heart tremble. She vaguely felt something but found it impossible.

Owen averted his gaze and said, “Come and eat.”

Tara nodded and walked over, and sat down at the table.

Breakfast was very simple with congee, a few dishes, sandwiches, and a glass of milk. It could be seen that Owen’s lifestyle was very healthy and simple.

Owen seemed to notice that the spread seemed to be a little simple and quickly said, “This is my private villa. I don’t usually come over much, so no one cooks at home. I just casually made these earlier. Don’t despise it for being simple.”

Tara hurriedly smiled and shook her head. “Of course not. It’s nice when it’s simple.”

Owen was relieved to hear this and nodded.

The table was enveloped by silence for a moment before he spoke again, “About that scum, Tom Graham, what do you want to do with him?”

Tara was slightly stunned and her expression sank.

She lowered her head and took two bites of bread before saying, “Forget it.”

“Forget it?”

Owen was shocked.

Tara sighed again.

“He’s from the Graham family and the Grahams family wants to be joined with the Garrett family through marriage. I just don’t want to get involved in their mess.”

Then, she forced a smile again.

“Our family is no different than air in the eyes of the Garrett family. I don’t know why they chose me anyway. In any case, I won’t agree to this matter.

As for Tom Graham...

“Now that he’s been handed over to the police, just let the people there handle it! If the Grahams want to protect him, then there’s no point even if I continue biting.”

Owen’s expression darkened as his eyes flickered.

However, he did not say anything and simply nodded.

“Alright, if you insist.”

After breakfast, Owen drove Tara back home.

The two did not speak during the journey. Tara did not know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Owen was a little strange today.

He would frown and clench his fists once in a while as if struggling and hesitating to say something.

Tara was confused and eventually could not hold back from asking, “Senior Brother, do you have something to say to me?”

Owen felt slightly embarrassed that his thoughts were seen through but he still nodded.

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Don’t be bothered by what happened last night. That b*stard will never have the chance to bully you again.”

Tara smiled. “I know. After this incident, my marriage with him is naturally ruined. The Garretts won’t force me to marry him and the Grahams will make another arrangement for him. He won’t have time to bother me anymore.”

Owen nodded and said after a pause, “Try not to go to bars with that kind of person again in the future. It’s dangerous for a girl like you.”

He did not even dare to imagine what would have happened to her if he did not happen to see her at the parking lot at that time.

Tara lowered her head at his words silently.

After a moment, she smiled. “I know. Thank you.”

Owen was startled.

He smiled apologetically. “There’s no need to thank me. You don’t have to say thank you to me in the future either.”

These words moved Tara’s heart.

It was like something was gently plucking her heartstrings, causing her pulse to quicken.

Soon enough, she heard the man beside her say, “To be honest, I wanted to tell you something a few days ago but I was afraid that you were still angry and wouldn’t be willing to listen to me, so I decided to wait until your anger subsided before telling you.”

Tara felt like her heart was about to leap out of her throat.

She forcefully tugged the corners of her lips and asked, “What is it? Just say it!”

Owen took a deep breath. As if he finally made up his mind, he said, “Tara, everything that happened that night was my fault. When I visited you at that time, it wasn’t just to apologize to you. I wanted to...”

His stuttering words made Tara’s heart beat like thunder. “You wanted to...?”

“I wanted to tell you that if you don’t mind, why don’t you try to accept me and let me be responsible for you. You can rest assured that I’ll be good to you and never let you be bullied again. What happened last night... As long as you wish it, I’ll make it so something like that never happens ever again. What do you think?”

When he finished speaking, he sighed as if he was finally free from the secret that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

Tara shook violently and looked at him in disbelief.

However, the man’s eyes were serious. It did not seem like he was joking.

She opened her mouth and only managed to speak after a long while, “What do you mean by... Taking responsibility?”

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 Owen said solemnly, “Will you marry me? If you say yes, I’ll tell my parents immediately. When we pick an auspicious day, I’ll go to Uncle and Auntie to formally ask for your hand.”

His words completely shocked Tara and made her a little flustered at the same time.

M-Marriage?

Heavens. She never even thought about it before.

She did like him. After that happened and she blamed him, she gradually came to this realization. However, she never thought about getting married so early.

Tara could not help but lower her head. She hesitated for a moment before answering, “Do you just want to take responsibility for me?”

Owen’s heart was already tight and anxious at the moment. Hearing her asking this, he blurted out a response. “Of course. Since something like that happened, I can’t let a girl like you face it alone.”

Tara was stunned at his words. Then, the smile in her eyes gradually faded away.

So... That was it!

She had thought...
