---- Chapter 158 Later that night, Tara couldn't sleep at all. When Jonah said he would wait for her, his smile was imprinted in her mind. Her heart raced when she heard what he said, and they stared at each other for a long time. However, she still hadn't accepted him. Tara wouldn't start another relationship that easily because she wanted to protect herself and him. So, even if she felt touched by his actions, she figured the feeling would fade away eventually until it was completely gone.

Tara felt hesitant. It was great to be in love, but she knew her relationship with Jonah couldn't go any further. Although Lance and Soren also treated her well, their statuses were affecting them all. Soren's parents were nice to her as well, but she still had to be cautious when interacting with them. She was afraid of humiliating them by doing something inappropriate . The custom wedding gown was based on his mother's preference.

So, when the gown was designed, the designer didn't even think of asking for Tara's opinion . Soren's parents liked Tara, but only because Soren liked her. They also liked her for being a nice young lady. 'Tara knew everything, It was natural for a wealthy family ---- to have a lot of rules, and she got used to it quickly. She knew she had to be satisfied with what she had and not take advantage of everything. At that moment, she was asked to join a wealthy family again, but she didn't want it.

She preferred to be free and have control over her life. She wanted the ability to make every choice. Tara didn't want to watch her words and actions all the time, nor did she want to worry about embarrassing her in -laws. She also didn't want to trouble Soren every time she wanted to head to the market. She was used to having Soren by her side previously, but she wanted to be herself more and do what she wanted.

So, even when she was touched by Jonah's actions , she still wouldn't agree to be with him. After all, his family was bigger than Soren's and had more rules. Otherwise , Jonah wouldn't have turned out to be so impressive. Thinking that they weren't destined to be together, Tara sighed gently and figured she should just get some sleep. The next day, she returned to Naoundbury with Alice, and the latter heard about how Tara rejected Jonah.

While Tara was calm about it, Alice was anxiously sighing nonstop, thinking what a shame it was. Alice thought Jonah had bad taste. After all, he had never ---- been interested in someone before. When he finally liked someone , that person was more stubborn than he was. She didn't try to persuade Tara anymore. After all, they had been colleagues for a long time, and she knew Tara well. She knew something had to be troubling Tara and that she had to figure everything out herself.

It was an obstacle that Tara and Jonah had to overcome together, and that was the only way the relationship could last forever. After going back to Naoundbury, Tara returned to her old lifestyle. When she opened her bag, she realized she had forgotten to ask for an autograph for the flower shop staff. Since she had rejected Jonah, she wanted to avoid him as much as possible. So, she returned the picture to the staff at the flower shop.

However , Jonah sent her a message that night, asking if she had already eaten. She typed out a message before making up her mind and deleting everything she had written. Two months passed by quickly, and he still sent her messages every day, despite never getting a reply. Tara had actually gone soft for him as she never blocked his contact. Every day, he would share everything that had happened in his life with her.

When he returned to his parents ' house, he would send her pictures of their pets ---- and horses as well. He even got his parents to say hello to her. When she saw the video he sent for the first time, she was surprised. Then, she got used to reading his messages before going to bed every night. Soon, six months had passed, and Jonah would send gifts to her every month. The delivery man told Tara he would receive a bonus if she accepted the gifts.

Feeling nonplussed, she had no choice but to accept them. One day, she received another limited-edition luxurious gift, and her colleagues had gotten used to it as well. Alice felt bad for Jonah and said with a deep sigh, "Poor Mr. Pearson. It's already been six months, and he can only visit the person he likes once in a while. He doesn't dare to disturb you at all." Hearing that, Tara gently nudged her. "Oh, stop exaggerating." "T'm not!

You clearly like him too." "Stop the nonsense," Tara said, embarrassedly, trying to get Alice to stop talking. "It's not nonsense at all. Do you dare deny it?" Alice could tell that Tara was doing everything she could to hold herself back, but Tara still wouldn't admit it. "I... 1 ---- don't like him at all." Alice found Tara amusing when she acted like that. She hugged Tara tightly and kissed her on the cheek. "If Mr.

Pearson sees you like this, I bet he'll be surprised." Tara nudged her again. "Keep it down!" Seeing how things were progressing, Alice wondered when it would be possible for Tara and Jonah to finally get married. Tara got off work later than usual, and when she exited the building, it was raining. She didn't even know when it had started raining. However, it didn't matter because she didn't bring an umbrella to work that day. She looked up to the sky, thinking that the rain wouldn't stop anytime soon.
