Flirtatious husband: Why he wants to marry me? - Chapter 80：Ask for permission 3

Coby watched as Lea gets inside the gate.

Coby slowly put his palm on his chest.

His heart is beating so fast!

He then looked at his hand which held Lea’s hand, earlier.

He doesn’t know when he started to feel this way, but every time he sees Lea, his heart would thump so hard!

He is not the kind of person who would show his emotion.

He may look cold in front of Lea, but his heart would thumps whenever they are near to each other!

He doesn’t know where he gets his prowess to tell her to leave together in the Villa.

All he knows is that he wants to be with her!

The dinner was just his alibi to be with her for a little longer.

He is not a romantic kind of person.

He grew up in a broken family.

The word love is not in his vocabulary.

But he got interested in Lea the very first time he saw her!

Especially in her attitude!

She may be a happy go lucky type of person, but she is also the kind of person who would stand for her self.

The next day,

“Good morning, Mr. Tan,” Coby greeted as soon as Tim sits on the back seat.

Tim looked at Coby, who is sitting in the driver’s seat.

“Good morning,” He replied.

Tim took his phone and checked the news, but then, he seemed to remember something.

He looked up at Coby again, “I saw you left with Lea the other night,” He said.

“Huh?!’ Coby blurted out as he looked at Tim through the rearview mirror.

“Is there something between you and her?” Tim asked curiously.

“Uhm,” Coby gulped!

He doesn’t know what to say!

“Uh, don’t get nervous, I was just curious.”

“You have been working for me for a few years now.”

” I never see you get along with a woman,” Tim commented.

“It’s alright to fall to her tho, but…” Tim paused for a moment.

“Always remember that she is the Missus’ best friend.”

“Be careful not to hurt her,”

“My wife is scary when she’s angry.”

Coby gulped again!

“Y-Yes, Mr. Tan!” He said.

Coby was about to start the engine, but Tim spoke again.

“…”

Coby was speechless.

——

At night, Coby entered Lea’s store.

“Coby?” Lea blurted out as she saw Coby.

“Are you buying some drinks?” she asked.

“No,” Coby replied.

“What are you doing here then?” Lea asked.

“I’m here to fetch you,” Coby said.

——

Lea stopped in her track as she looked at Coby, who is walking ahead of her.

She seems like she is thinking of something.

Coby stopped when he notices Lea stopped walking.

He turned to her and asked, “Why?”

Lea took a deep breath before she walks closer to Coby.

“Coby, I just want to clear things up.” She said.

“What?” Coby asked.

“I want you to clear things before I misunderstand you,” Lea said.

“Why do you walk me home?” She asked.

Coby looked at Lea straight to the eyes, ” Because I want to be with you.” he said without holding back.

Lea was stunned with Coby’s reply, but she still tried to be calm.

She doesn’t want to assume.

“Why?” She asked.

Coby stretched his arm and grabbed Lea, “Let’s go,” He said.

“Uh, hey!”

“You did not answer me!” She said to Coby.

Coby stopped in his track.

He let go of Lea’s hand and faced her.

“I want to talk to your mother,” Coby said.

“W-What?”

“W-Why?” Lea asked with her knitted brows.

“I want to ask her permission,” Coby replied.

Lea’s knitted brows got even deeper.

“P-Permission?” She repeated.

“Ennn…” Coby nodded her head.

“Permission for what?” Lea asked again.

“Permission to court you,”

Lea’s mouth went slightly opened, “C-Court me?”

‘Court me?’ Lea repeated in her mind.

‘He wants to court me?’

‘But…’

Lea straightened her body as she stared at Coby.

“Coby, you only court a woman if you like them.” Lea reminded Coby.

“That is why I want to court you,” Coby said.

“Ha!” Lea let out a short laugh.

“So, you’re saying that you like me?” Lea seems like she heard a ridiculous thing.

“Yes!” Coby said.

Lea’s smile slowly faded.

‘He likes me?’

‘He likes me!’

Lea felt like dreaming!

‘This cold man likes me!’ Lea repeatedly said to her self.

Coby grabbed Lea again, “Let’s go, I still need to talk to your mother.” he said.

“Wait, wait!” Lea pulled back her arm.

“What now?” Coby asked.

“My… My mom already thought that you are my boyfriend.” She said.

“So?”

“So, what’s the use of asking her permission?” Lea asked back.

Coby froze, “Are you hinting something on me?” he asked.

“Well,” Lea thinks for a moment, “Why won’t you ask me if I will allow you to court me instead?”

Coby smiled, “Do I have to do that?”

“Ugh,” Lea rolled her eyes.

” Of course!

“Alright,” Coby straightened his body.

“Ehem!” He cleared his throat.

“Lea, I know that I am not the romantic kind of person.”

“I don’t have any idea with love.”

“All I know is that my heart thumps so hard whenever I see you.”

“And I feel like I always want to be with you.”

“Will you allow me—” Coby stopped for a second, “No,” He said as if he changes his mind.

Lea suddenly felt anxious, ‘Did he change his mind?’ she thought.

But her anxiousness faded when Coby spoke again, ” Will you be my official girlfriend?”

It took a moment before Lea spoke.

She still tried to register to her mind every word that comes out from Coby’s mouth.

“Your speech is too long!” Lea pretended tp complain.

“Oh, should I make it shorter?” Coby asked.

Lea revealed a smile, “There’s no need, no matter how long your speech is, my answer is still the same.”

Coby gulped!

He suddenly felt anxious as he waited for Lea to say the magic word.

“Yes!” Lea said after a while.

“Yes?” He repeated.

“Yes!” Lea replied.

“R-Really?!” Coby blurted out in an unbelievable expression.

“Yes!”

“I am your official girlfriend and You are my boyfriend!” Lea said.

Coby embraced Lea, “Oh, thank you!” he said as he tightened his embrace to her.
