Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

— Pedro repeated himself: “Kathryn, no matter what you decide, I will support you. Pedro smiled, “This is our destiny.” Kathryn continued, “Yes, it is.

When all of this is over, Pedro, shall we get married?” They hadn't gone through a traditional courtship or spoken romantic words, but they knew how they felt about each other.

Pedro's smile deepened, and he said, “First, I'll propose, then we'll get engaged.

After some time, if you're still sure, we'll get married.

I just don’t want you to meet someone better and regret choosing me.” They didn't need to discuss love like other couples—they understood each other perfectly.

Pedro was confident but still wanted to give Kathryn time to think.

Kathryn thought for a moment and said, “Since you're not in a rush, let's date like a normal couple first.

If you don't find someone else and I don’t change my mind, we can get engaged and then get married.

You don't need to stick with me all the time.

You can meet other women and see if someone else catches your eye.

If you like someone at a social event, go after her.
