Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times Chapter 17.3

New Gossip (3)

Parrish called her over to talk about the rumors, but in the end, he only asked her to clarify them and didn’t punish her. Of course, this matter seemed to have an unusual meaning to others. On top of her fanning the fire, new rumors would be produced despite the old ones being suppressed.

And even if Parrish heard the new rumors and called the three of them to inquire, it was impossible for him to find out that she was deliberately guiding them.

Besides, she didn't lie. Everything she said was based on facts. She was just using the art of language proficiently.

Anna was waiting for the rumors to ferment. The new rumors would become the reason for her family to respond to the tavern incident.

Because Young Master Parrish couldn’t let the City lord know that he cared about her very much, the tavern incident would not surface for the time being. Wasn’t it reasonable to let Anna's family deal with it by themselves?

Of course, if the other party went too far, how could Young Master Parrish watch his beloved woman be bullied?

——Anna wanted Bobby and the others involved to come to these conclusions so that they would think twice before they act.

She hoped that the spread of rumors could be faster.

In the evening, when Anna returned home, she found both Evan and Gaea present. The latter was recuperating at home. She hurriedly walked over and asked, "Mama, Papa, how did it go?"

Gaea frowned and said, "Things did not go well. The other party is refusing to back down. Master Abbas did not give the results of the mediation today. We will go again in two days."

Although Evan and Gaea's spirits were not very high, Anna relaxed when she heard the news. What she needed most now was time. One the rumors took flight, there would be no need to mediate because the other party would take the initiative to back down!

The door was knocked on suddenly. Anna went to open the door, and saw a bunch of flowers lying on the ground in front of the door.

After guessing that the flower was given by young Tim, Anna still continued to receive flowers. She didn’t get flowers every day, but the flowers in her vase had always stayed fresh.

This time, she saw a figure running away. She quickly picked up the bouquet and gave chase.

"Little Tim!" Anna yelled for him to stop after she got closer.

The figure stopped for a while and turned around slowly.

It really was the shy little Tim.

It was getting late at the moment, and though there were no street lights on Pomegranate Lane, the moonlight was just right. In the dim moonlight, Anna could see clearly what little Tim looked like. Seeing her approaching, he took a small step back uncomfortably, and whispered, "How do you know it was me?"

"At first I didn't know. I thought it was given by Mark. He said it wasn't him, so I thought of you." Anna said, "Thank you for the flowers, but next time, this won’t be necessary."

Now that she had rejected Mark, of course she had to even reject Tim. She did not want to get married for at least a few years, so why delay the happiness of others?

Little Tim's face turned pale when he heard Anna's words, but he couldn't see too clearly in the moonlight.

He looked at Anna with a little sadness in his eyes and said: "Anna, this is just a bouquet of flowers and not very valuable at all. You aren’t even willing to accept this?"

Before, Anna was reluctant to accept his white bread. He didn't want her to be too pressured, so he secretly gave her flowers, but he didn't expect that she would not even accept flowers.

Anna sighed and said, "Little Tim, you have also seen the situation in our family. I'm sorry, I don't want to consider marriage yet."

"But..." Little Tim hesitated, and after a while he mustered the courage to continue, "Anna, as long as you marry me, Bobby won’t force your hand in marriage anymore!"

Anna was a little surprised that little Tim made such a suggestion. After thinking about it carefully, what he said really made sense. In this world, all marriages must be witnessed by the Church in order to be blessed by the Goddess of Light. If you had the ability and desire, you could have many lovers, regardless of gender, but you could only have one legal spouse.

Therefore, as long as Anna married young Tim and went to the church to register it, their marriage would be sacred and inviolable, and Bobby could no longer force Anna to marry him. And her family would then have the help of young Tim and his father, so they wouldn’t need to worry about Bobby causing trouble.

Logically speaking, Anna knew this was a good solution to her problem, but ever since she had gotten into this mess, she has never thought about such a solution.

She had worked hard for so long. Would she still have to rely on marriage to solve her troubles?

Little Tim was very cute. She didn’t dislike him at all, even had some good feelings toward him, but she was not willing to accept his good intentions.

Before Anna refused, she saw another person walking from out of the dark.

Mark.

She didn’t know how long he had been listening, he just looked at Anna and smiled honestly: “Anna, if you want to get married, don’t just consider little Tim, there’s still me! I promise, if you marry me, I will definitely treat you well. If Bobby dares to show up in front of you again, I'll beat him up!"

Little Tim looked at Mark's sturdy figure and couldn't help feeling ashamed.

He couldn't help thinking, he seemed to be unable to protect Anna... Maybe it would be better for Anna to marry Mark.

And in a dark corner where none of the three of them could see, the impatient Rothgarr quietly came to Pomegranate Lane and happened to see this scene.

He was furious right now.

Originally, someone tried to force Anna‘s hand on his behalf and saved him the trouble of violating the betting agreement he made with Balan. He was very happy, but this Anna was too cunning and tricked two idiots to propose to her.

Did she realize that spending time on Parrish and Ulysses were useless, and planned to casually marry someone to solve her problem of that old widower forcing her hand in marriage?

Rothgarr stared at the three people coldly, killing intent rising in his heart.
