Chapter 224
“Yes,” Caroline agreed.
“They both entered contract marriage because they were sure that they won’t fall for each other, and the rest is history.
They have five children together.
” She added with a smile.
Immediately she stopped and smiled.
“I can’t imagine dad’s expression when he will come to know that I… I p>
got claimed by a werewolf?
” Artemis completed her sentence, on which Caroline nodded her head.
“He is planning to get me married at the age of sixty or more.
Can you believe the height of his possessiveness toward me, and here I’m discussing my marriage with my mate?
” She muttered, shaking her head.
“Well, I kind of guess his possessive over you because it won’t be easy for him to give his Princess to someone else.
But I promise that whenever I will meet him, I will assure him that I will always treat his Princess as my queen, my Regina.
“And I promise to my Regina that I will make her fall in love with me, with us.
And I won’t try to find out about your past.
” Saying this, Artemis leaned toward her and kissed her forehead.
“So, my dear mate, I’m asking you again, will you let me claim you as mate officially by marking you?
‘This is so much not like me.
’ Caroline thought.
‘If I would have shared this idea with Calvin, then he would have been thrilled by this idea; after all, it would have been taken as an adventure.
“This is the craziest thing that I have ever done in my life, Artemis.
But yes, Bolt and Artemis, I will let you both claim me as your mate by marking me.
“One Month.
” Artemis set the target.
“Just one month?
“Yes.
I trust myself.
I can win your heart by then.
Also, I believe that it won’t be a great idea to hide about us from your family, and I have to make sure that you will be able to answer the question of your dad in case he asks you.
“Which question?
“That ‘do you love him, Princess?
’” Artemis asked in a serious tone on which Caroline laughed.
Yes, he was right about that question.
“And I don’t think lying to your parents about something this important will be fair.
And I don’t think any father will let his daughter stay with a person whom she doesn’t love.
” He added, thinking of himself at Caroline’s father’s place.
Little did he know that his words had already started doing the work.
Seeing how Artemis was thinking of winning her father’s heart meant a lot to Caroline.
“You told me that I’m taking risks, but the truth is that you’re also taking risks.
” Artemis continued.
“For example, first planning to get married at the age of twenty-five instead of sixty.
” He joked, on which Caroline laughed.
“Second, trusting a stranger whom you just met fourteen days with all yourself.
Not just that, you also shared about your Talismans which store your power.
“Now, enough.
Stop saying these sweet things.
” Caroline muttered, turning a shade darker.
“I hope you know CPR,” Artemis said in a serious tone.
“No.
I don’t.
Is it important to know that?
” Caroline asked in confusion.
“Yes, it is VERY important because everything you blush, you are taking my breath away!
” Artemis said in a serious tone first and then started grinning.
Caroline blushed a little more, hearing him.
Well, could someone blame her for that?
Artemis was that man who knew how to keep his woman happy and smiling.
“By the way, I thought you won’t come looking for me because you didn’t call me when the clock hit twelve.
” He said to discuss some realistic topics now.
“Complains the one whose phone was switched off,” Caroline said, hitting his chest softly.
“Do you know the first thing in my mind when your phone was switched off?
Of course not; how would you have any idea about it?
I was praying for your well-being when after roaming from here and there for so long, I reached here.
” She complained, hitting him again.
“Why didn’t you leave any message before coming here?
Huh?
“I… I thought you asked for SPACE.
That’s why I didn’t leave any messages.
And didn’t you tell me that you want to walk on the path of relation on your own?
Hmm,” He questioned.
“On the top, Regina, I was getting bored in Spain without you by my side, so I came here and left my visiting card with the hope that you would understand where I was.
“And what if I wouldn’t have come here?
” Caroline questioned, narrowing her eyes.
“A part of me knew that you will always find a way,” Artemis said confidently.
That confidence which had almost gone when he didn’t receive Caroline’s call at midnight.
“By the way, I just realized something.
“No one cheesy lines,” Caroline warned.
“You love my cheesy lines.
” Artemis grinned.
“But now, I was not going to say that I was going to point out that this was our first argument, wasn’t it?
“Yeah.
It was.
“And do you know what after an argument or fight between a couple?
” He questioned.
Caroline recalled the fight between her parents and then how they made up their issue by either kissing or giving each other some surprise.
“Yes.
I know.
They kiss and makeup.
” She answered and saw how his eyes twinkled at the word KISS.
She smiled and lifted her head toward him to kiss him.
