"Ouch!" Bewildered, Bevis frowned and looked at Jocelyn, wondering if she really meant it.
His parents would also present at the banquet, and what Bevis meant was to introduce Jocelyn to his parents.
"Can it be that Jocelyn did not understand what I am trying to suggest?" At the thought of this, Bevis was full of hope again. He said excitedly, "I mean, you can get to know my parents at this banquet!"
He was so direct this time that he almost mentioned their marriage.
At this thought of their marriage, Bevis's eyes lit up. He was expecting Jocelyn to say yes. However, he did not expect Jocelyn to reject him for the third time without batting an eye.
And the rejection this time was even more straightforward!
"I'm very grateful that you helped me out today, but I have something very important to do that day. Please forgive me!"
