Chapter 212 Present a Public Front While Secretly Preparing a Hidden Plan

Crispin persuaded, “Steph, it’s hard for us to be happy if the elders do not bless our relationship. That’s why it’s better for us not to take this step unless we’re absolutely sure of our relationship. After all, that’s the man who raised you since birth.”

These were clearly the words of a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but Stephanie was utterly moved by his hypocritical words.

Crisp is so sensible and gentle, unlike my father, who is a domineering *ss.

Crispin looked at the pajamas that Stephanie wore and immediately knew what it meant.

It was just that he currently lacked the courage to sleep with her. If Jack found out that Crispin bedded Stephanie, the older man’s impression of him would ultimately be ruined.

And so, he feigned chivalry as he continued, “Don’t be like this, Steph. I like you solely because I like you. I want to be your boyfriend, and I want to do it openly. I’ll do everything that I can to persuade your father to accept me. Why don’t you return home with your bodyguards? Don’t let your father worry.

“Crisp. I… Stephanie felt guilty upon hearing that. Crisp is such a kind person, but I’ve lied to him.

The group of people with her weren’t bodyguards; they were actually marriage candidates that her father had assigned to her!

However, she did not have the heart to break Crisp’s heart by telling him the truth.

“Steph, don’t be willful. I’ll find a way to get your father to accept me and let him see my sincerity in giving you happiness.”

Stephanie burst into tears at that. She felt that she did not choose the wrong person to be her life partner. Crisp wasn’t that ungrateful, greedy villain that everyone made him out to be. It was such a pity that her father was stubborn and did not want to get to know Crispin even better.

Elias stood in front of the car and lit a cigarette. He felt that Stephanie would magically appear as he smoked a few cigarettes.

He was halfway done with one of the sticks when he saw her in the alley.

He then raised his eyebrows at how much faster she was than he thought she would be.
