?Chapter 862:


    Rosanna’s smile faded into something softer. “I’d marry you,” she said. “But we still have to face your parents. I’m not expecting miracles. I just want them to agree to our marriage.”


    Kenny gave a bitter chuckle. “My mom doesn’t bend. Once she decides something, she won’t change her mind. If we wait around for her approval, we’ll never get married. Let’s just get married in secret first. Once it’s done, there will be nothing she can do.”


    Rosanna considered it for a moment, then nodded. “If she’s forcing you into marrying someone you don’t love, then I think she’s not exactly reasonable.”


    Kenny said, “I should have been like my brother. When I was young, I wanted to do what I loved, just like him. But seeing him get scolded and punished for being disobedient, I got scared.”


    Even now, Kenny held a strange admiration for Ethan. Sure, they butted heads a lot, especially over how often Ethan shed with their mother, but Kenny couldn’t deny that he respected his brother’s courage.


    Rosanna jabbed a finger against his chest. “That stops now. From here on out, you make your own choices. Don’t let your mom control every move you make, alright?”


    “Okay, I promise!” Kenny said quickly, before tugging her by the hand to show her more of the house.


    “This ce is huge. Your brother really went all out.” As they walked through the spacious rooms, Rosanna’s eyes sparkled.


    A chuckle slipped from Kenny’s mouth. “He’s got houses everywhere. This one’s just average to him. He recently bought another ce in the same neighborhood as Miss Harper.”


    Shaking her head in awe, Rosanna let out a sigh. “Must be nice to be rich, throwing around gifts like this. The location of this ce alone is top-tier, not to mention the size. At the current market value, this ce would go for what, ten million? Your brother must really care about you. And clearly, he’s head over heels for his girlfriend, moving to her neighborhood just to be close to her.”


    Even though Ethan often disobeyed their parents, Kenny had to admit—Ethan treated the family well. Despite everything he had done, Ethan still handed him a house as an engagement gift.


    ncing at his phone, Kenny hesitated. He had no idea who was dealing with the mess he had created today.


    Knowing his parents well, he could already imagine their rage. Pride ran deep in their bloodline, and he wasn’t sure if they would apologize to the Davies family.


    At that moment, Rosanna noticed Kenny’s somber expression. She gave him a serious look and asked, “Hey… What’s going on? Are you having second thoughts about running off with me?”


    In truth, she already knew the answer. She had spent enough time with Kenny to understand how his mind worked. Even though he had chosen her today, she knew he was probably already feeling the weight of guilt and thinking he had let his parents down.
