Chapter 148 Canceling The Engagement

Moreover, since she became his fiancee, her life had not improved at all compared to before. Instead, because of the additional identity, Maria and her mother became even more hostile towards her.

Before they would at most scold her, but in the past two times, they had been trying to kill her.

Although Jocelyn enjoyed kissing Aren, she didn’t like being forced and controlled by him.

Compared to such rough treatment, Jocelyn preferred gentle and thoughtful treatment based on mutual feelings for each other. Unlike now, without knowing anything, she was cornered and pressed against the tree, being forced to have sex with him.

This kind of interaction made Jocelyn feel afraid. This was not the sort of relationship she imagined and wanted.

The reason why she signed that contract back then must have been because she was too infatuated.

If she could go back in time, Jocelyn would definitely not repeat the same mistake and keep herself from this terrifying man.

Jocelyn had never been so sober before. She knew very well that she did not have the upper hand in this marriage, so what could she do to make Aren agree to cancel the engagement?

Jocelyn finally understood that instead of putting her hopes on someone else, she should rely on herself.

She lowered her head, lost in thought. However, from the way Aren looked at it, she was just trying to stall the time.

Aren, who was still angry, became even angrier.

He grabbed Jocelyn’s arm with such force that Jocelyn couldn’t help but cry out in pain. At the same time, Jocelyn regained her senses.

“I asked you to explain. Why aren’t you explaining? Are you lowering your head to protest with me?”

“Are you showing discontent? Or are you tacitly agreeing with me?”

Jocelyn endured the pain in her arm and frowned. She wanted to use her hand to push Aren away, but it was all in vain. Aren’s hand was as hard as steel and could not be pried open.

“What do you want me to explain? You won’t believe anything I said anyway.”

“If Master Aren doesn’t even trust me, then I think there’s no need for our contract marriage to continue. After all, when we signed this marriage back then, we wanted to make it convenient for each other and not cause trouble for each other, right?” “If you feel that what happened to me is very troubling you, or if you think that I will sully your family’s reputation, you can cancel the engagement with me. I won’t say a word of complaint.”

In just a minute, Jocelyn made a decision.

In the past, although Jocelyn looked like a little hedgehog, the quills on her body were soft and innocuous, when she got angry, the quills could still inflict rather painful stings. He was very unfamiliar with such a Jocelyn, and at the same time, he was very displeased. Aren thought Jocelyn should consider herself lucky to be engaged to him, and that she should cherish this marriage and not casually talk about the cancellation.

Moreover, the fact that Jocelyn brought up the cancellation of the engagement made Aren feel like he was the one being dumped.

“You want to cancel the engagement with me?” Aren stared at Jocelyn hard and asked.

“I’ve already announced our marriage. The entire New York City knows that you’re now my fiancée. Are you telling me that you want to break up with me?”

“Who do you think you are? Do you think you can sign and cancel this engagement whenever you want?”

Aren reached out and pinched Jocelyn’s chin again. His grip was so strong that it was like an iron clamp, locking Jocelyn in place.

“I can tell you very clearly that there are only two ways to cancel the marriage with me. The first is your death. The second is to wait until the three years are up. When the contract term is up, you will naturally regain your freedom.”

For some reason, when Aren mentioned freedom, his heart ached a little.
