?Chapter 1097:


    Looking at him, Aurora was consumed by thoughts of their earlier intense kiss.


    The realization that Dunn could be so passionate and possessive was thrilling and filled her with anticipation.


    “Dunn…”


    Dunn cut her off with a kiss. She didn’t have much to say, really; she just wanted to know if he was ready to deepen their rtionship.


    But it seemed there was no need to ask anymore.


    Dunn was already expressing his feelings through his actions, leaving no doubts about his intentions.


    Aurora’s hands were moist with anxiety.


    She felt inexperienced, timid, and fearful.


    As she nearly lost her bnce from his kiss, Dunn steadied her by firmly holding her waist.


    “Aurora, a thought just came to me impulsively.”


    He breathed heavily, his words separated by lengthy pauses.


    In the end, Aurora couldn’tmit to moving forward. She gently pushed Dunn back, her gaze downcast.


    “Dunn, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed right now too.”


    Both known for their prudence and wisdom, they feared making a decision they might regret.


    Dunn stayed quiet for a few moments, trying to suppress his racing thoughts. “I’m sorry. I should respect your feelings. Let’s progress slowly.”


    Dunn knew he needed a shower at that moment.

    As he turned to leave, Aurora’s soft voice stopped him.


    “I mean, Dunn, I’m feeling overwhelmed, and I want to go ahead with you.”


    Dunn stopped dead in his tracks.


    He was so taken aback that he was speechless for a moment.


    He understood what Aurora meant, but he quickly regained hisposure.


    Turning to face her again, he touched her forehead. “You’re still too young for this, and I don’t have your parents’ blessing yet.”


    Aurora turned her head, whispering, “I don’t agree.”


    Dunn’s throat tightened, feeling an intense heat coursing through him. “Listen to me.”


    Aurora bit her lip and blurted out, “Let’s get engaged.”


    She believed that an engagement would solidify their rtionship and signify Joelle and Adrian’s eptance of Dunn.


    “Engaged?”


    Aurora asked, “You don’t want to?”


    “I do,” Dunn replied with a chuckle. “But you realize that being engaged means we’re nning to marry, right?”


    “Of course, I understand.”


    “It also signifies that we’ll raise our children together and walk through life side by side.”
