"Hello?" Austin 's voice was tinged with sleepiness due to the difference in time zones.
"It's me!" Tiana controlled herself so her emotions did not show in her tone. Austin sat up immediately after he heard Tiana's voice. Right then, he returned to his usual indifference. "What's wrong?"
"Austin , can I... can I ask you for a favor?"
"What is it?" he asked.
"Can... can... can you not get engaged to Rose?" Licking her cracked lips, she finally muttered out a complete sentence.
"I'm afraid I can't!" Austin answered in a straightforward manner. He suspected that there was something amiss with his ears.
If she had made such a request a few days ago, he would have been ecstatic and gave her a positive answer. However, right then, he felt that it was too ironic.
"Austin ! If you don't get engaged to Rose, I... I will consider getting back together with you!" God knew how much courage it took for her to say that.
