The Law of Attraction

Chapter 602: Worth The Risk

Sarah was on her way back to the office when she received a call from her mother who was near the area of her office building. She stopped the car in the parking lot and stepped out of the car to go inside the exclusive boutique where her mother was busy buying some clothes.

"Mom," she greeted. Her mother immediately pulled her to sit on the couch and said, "I won\'t take long, wait here till I pay and then you treat me to a coffee while we talk."

Seeing that familiar expression from her mother, Sarah could already tell what the topic of discussion was going to be. She suddenly regretted saying she was free to accompany her today.

Her mother paid for the clothes and quickly pulled her out of the boutique to the nearest cafe.

The moment they sat on the chairs, her mother asked, "Where is the ring? How come you\'re not wearing it?"

Sarah rolled her eyes as she pulled the necklace from underneath her turtlenecks.

"You brat! That\'s a ring, not a pendant so why wear it on your neck? Take it off and let me see. Kyle just asked for the size of your finger but I don\'t know what design he chose for the engagement ring…"

Sarah was silent, not commenting at all as she obligingly removed the necklace and gave the ring to her mother.

"Wow, it\'s beautiful. Put this on your finger…" Her mother instructed.

"But I haven\'t accepted his proposal mom. He told me he would wait for me and told me that when he sees me wearing this it means I\'m agreeing to marry him," Sarah explained.

"Huh? Why wait? I mean why not accept him now? Don\'t you love him? Did I make a mistake in how I read you, dear? Because I can tell that you two love each other so what\'s holding you back?"

Sarah wanted to ask her mother how she knew that Kyle loved her but did not. She did not want her parents to worry about her matters since she was a grown-up woman capable of handling such things on her own.

"Hmm, I don\'t know mom but I feel like I\'m not ready to wear that ring yet. So give it to me and let me wear it as a pendant for a while," Sarah said with a smile.

Her mother returned the ring and mumbled, "Kyle was so sincere when he came to our house and talked to me and your father. He said he wanted to take responsibility for you and that he is confident that he can make you happy…"

Sarah sighed and questioned, \'Did he tell you guys that he loves me?\'

But did not voice it out and kept her lips pressed together.

"Me and your father even picked a date next month for the formal engagement ceremony. I don\'t know what\'s holding you back and I\'m sure you will not tell to me either but then I hope you won\'t take too long to accept Kyle because a man like him is very rare to find nowadays.

Look into your heart and you\'ll know your answer dear. It\'s always a good thing to follow your heart and take risks for a person that you believe is worth it… Ask yourself if Kyle is a man worth taking that risk for."

Sarah sighed when she heard those words from her mother. It hit her heart… So much so that she started asking herself what she thought. Then she realized that she already took a risk for Kyle by giving her body to him.

She looked at the ring on her palm and unconsciously wore it to her ring finger while she replied, "He is worth the risk mom."

Mrs. Jung had a bright smile and said, "Good job dear. Don\'t worry, I know both of you are busy so I will take care of everything for the engagement ceremony and let you guys know the date."

Sarah\'s jaw dropped as she listened to her mother excitedly discuss all her plans.

"You seem well prepared for this mom," she ended up interrupting.

"Of course I am. I\'ve been waiting for this moment for my entire life dear so I will not let things go haywire. All you need to do is just sit back, relax and enjoy your time with Kyle. You should be going on a lot of dates and you know being more intimate so we can have grandchildren soon…"

"Mom!" Sarah burst.

"What? You two will get married in two months\' time anyway. Your father and I won\'t mind you walking the aisle with a big tummy!" Mrs. Jung teased, enjoying the embarrassed look on her daughter.

Oh, finally. She was really worried about her daughter Sarah remaining as a spinster her whole life so she was very grateful that someone like Kyle came into the picture right in time.

After chatting for a while, Sarah separated from her mother to go back to the office. Kyle was out on the field so he did not know that she already wore the ring. She wondered how Kyle would react if he saw her wearing the ring.

Sarah suddenly felt excited so she got her phone and dialed Kyle\'s number.

"Hello?" Sarah heard Kyle answer.

"What time are you coming back?" Sarah asked.

"Hmm, you\'re at the office now?" Kyle asked.

"Yes, just arrived."

"Do you miss me?" Kyle asked next.

"Yes… Uhm I mean ahhh… yeah," Sarah mumbled, stuttering. She heard Kyle chuckle and say, "Okay, I will be back as soon as I can so that you can see me and won\'t have to miss me for long…"

"I have to go now. The client is here. I miss you too…" Kyle added before the call ended.

Her face was so red that she had to cover it with her palm not to let others see.

It was her first time saying \'I miss you\' to a man and she was still not used to it. But she had to admit that the feeling was so overwhelming like she was on cloud nine.

"How will it feel when we say \'I love you\' to each other?" she murmured, squealing. Then she sighed, wondering when the time would come where they would exchange the words \'I love you\' instead.
