"Hmph, you crafty, conniving man!"
Joanna could not even guess what Vernom was scheming right now, and she was no longer in the mood to skirt around the subject, so she told him point-blank, "Just tell me what you want. If it's something that's within my power, then I'll try my best to do anything you like."
"Marry me!" Vernom half-joked with a faint smile.
"Don't even dream about it!" Joanna refused without even thinking.
It was not the first time the guy made such a shamelessly preposterous proposal to her, and it was certainly not the first time she refused him. As time passed, such a gesture no longer affected her. The only thought that crossed her mind now was that Vernom was deliberately looking for a chance to get beaten up.
"I just knew that you'd say no," Vernom clutched his chest as if Joanna's answer had deeply wounded him.
