Chapter 320
Spoiled by the President
Tara smiled in self-mockery and said, âThank you, Senior Brother, but donât you think we arenât suitable for each other?â
Her words made Owen stunned. He panicked for a moment before quickly calming down again.
âI admit that my personality is a little wooden, but if you donât mind...â
âNo, thatâs not what I meant.â
âItâs not?â Owen was startled. Then, he seemed to think of something and smiled.
âIf itâs not that, then you donât have to worry about anything else. On my familyâs side, as long as itâs someone I like, theyâll like her too. However, I donât know if your parents can accept me. After all, compared to the Garrett family, my Jackson family is...â
Tara laughed. âAs long as I insist, my parents wonât be too opposed to it.â
Owen was stunned before becoming overjoyed. âDoes that mean you agree?â
Taraâs face immediately turned red and she bit her lip. Although she tried her best to restrain herself, the corners of her mouth could not help but overflow with a smile.
Looking at his joyful appearance, her heart turned sweet as honey, but she still said, âI didnât say I agree. I still need to think about it.â
Owen nodded at the words. âOf course, you need to think about it. Itâs a matter of lifelong importance after all. Youâre a girl, so itâs only right to be cautious.â
After a pause, he added. âYou can think about it before giving me an answer. Iâll wait for you.â
The words âIâll wait for youâ almost made Tara unable to hold back and agree to him on the spot.
However, she remained rational and only nodded, and stopped talking.
The car soon arrived at the Garrettâs home. Owen got out and opened the door for her like a gentleman. After Tara got out, she said, âIâll go in first.â
Owen nodded and the girl turned, and walked inside.
After just a few steps, a manâs voice sounded from behind here. âTara!â
Tara paused and turned back to him in puzzlement.
Under the sunlight, the manâs tall stature was like a handsome prince from a fairy tale. He hesitated but did not say anything important.
He simply smiled and said, âRest well and donât think too much.â
It took a moment for Tara to understand his meaning.
She smiled and nodded. Then, the two stopped speaking and she walked into the house.
When she entered the house and was sure that the man could no longer see her, she finally could not restrain the smile on her face. Her heart leaped in her chest.
Although she had not said yes earlier, she had already agreed in her heart!
Owen said that he wanted to be responsible for her. In her understanding, he was talking about his responsibility as a man. Since such a thing happened, he would take responsibility for what had happened.
However, so what? If he was willing to put forward this proposal, it meant that he was not disgusted with her! She could feel that there was even the possibility that he liked her. Otherwise, he would not have bought clothes for her as well as that...
Tara blushed quietly. After all, he was someone she liked for many years. Even if he was not in love with her now, it was enough if he just liked her a little!
The future was long. As long as she was willing to work hard, he would fall in love with her one day.
The more Tara thought about it, the more her mood leaped. She wanted nothing more than to skip and twirl around.
However, at that moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded beside her. âTara, stop right there!â
Tara paused. When she turned around, she saw her mother standing there with an unpleasant expression.
The excitement in her heart sank in an instant. Her smile dropped as she asked, âWhatâs wrong? Did something happen?â
Sophie frowned and stepped forward. âWhat happened between Tom Graham and you? I heard this morning that he was sent to the police station.
Werenât you two together last night?
âWhen I found out about it this morning, people said that he tried to date rape a woman. How did that happen? Tell me what exactly is going on.â
Taraâs expression immediately cooled at the words and she smiled mockingly. âMom, itâs true. The person he tried to date rape was me!â
Under Sophieâs questioning, Tara told her everything that had happened last night.
After Sophie heard the entire story, she wanted nothing more than to grab a knife and kill the entire Graham family on the spot before dragging that scum over for another beating.
Tara said coldly, âEnough! Even though youâre furious now, when the elders call later, your anger will disappear immediately. Donât say youâre going to beat them up. You might even visit them with gifts for fear of making the relationship between our families strained.â
The sarcastic words caused Sophieâs face to stiffen.
She smiled apologetically. âTara, Iâm sorry. Mom disappointed you but you have to be considerate of mom too. Itâs not easy for us to live in a place like the capital...â
Tara interrupted her before she could finish.
âYou donât have to say it. I know already, so I never expected anything from you in the first place.â
Then, she stood up and went back to her room.
Sophie looked at her back and opened her mouth, wanting to say something but ended up remaining silent.
...
Soon, Nell, Gideon, and the others heard about the news that Owen Jackman was together with Tara Garrett.
The news was like a bomb that blew everyone up.
No one thought that these two usually quiet and silent people would end up getting together!
Owen was one of them, so since he was with Tara now, even if her surname was Garrett, she was naturally considered one of them as well.
Nell said jokingly, âHow sensational! Doctor Jackman, when are you going to invite us to the wedding?â
Owen smiled. His face that was full of decadence some time ago was now radiant as if he was a different person.
âSoon. Iâve already proposed to Tara. Now, all we have to do is decide on a date. If everything goes well, weâll be able to have the wedding next year.â
Nell was momentarily dumbfounded.

ï¤Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 She had just been teasing him by asking that question and did not mean anything from it.
She did not expect Owen to be so honest and answer that he was about to get married.
She did not know what to say but her heart was truly happy for him.
She clapped her hands with a smile. âWell, then Iâll congratulate you in advance.â
Mr. and Mrs. Garrett had been unhappy when they learned that Tara and Owen were together.
Although the Jackman family were influential, they produced doctors for generations and were not close to business and politics. For an ordinary family, they might be regarded as exceptional candidates but they were of no use to the Garrett family, so the Jackmans were naturally not the best choice.
However, when they saw how much Tara liked Owen, no matter how unwilling they were, they had no choice but to agree.
