?Chapter 378:
Marissa was puzzled. Arabe had been chatting about her idol and suddenly, she changed the topic, about to spill one of Connor’s secrets. The transition in her conversation was quite astonishing.
Nevertheless, Arabe was over ny years old, so her whimsical behavior seemed somewhat expected. After all, the elderly can sometimes behave like children.
Although Marissa wasn’t particrly curious about Connor’s secret, she yed along and inquired, “What secret is that, Grandma?”
Arabe covered her mouth, giggling before she leaned in and whispered mysteriously, “Did you know, dear, that Connor once talked in his sleep? He confessed he had admired Only for a long time and hoped she would marry him!”
Marissa was taken aback. Was Connor’s dream really that strange? He had never met Only. He only knew she was a woman, yet he had no clue about her appearance or age, and yet, he dreamed about marrying her?
Arabe added, “When Connor had that dream, he was only 21 years old. Judging from his appearance at the time, it was clearly a… well, let’s just say it was an inappropriate dream. In his sleep, he even dered that Only should bear him two children!”
Arabe threw her head back andughed heartily. “Hahaha.”
She took her time chuckling, but afterward, she said, “Sweetie, fate does have some strange ways, huh? You were just 16 while Connor was 21 at the time, right? But he was having an inappropriate dream about you back then. He even fantasized about having two kids with you! Hahaha.”
Marissa pursed her lips, silently berating Connor in her thoughts. That absolute pervert!
She had barely concluded her internal rebuke when Arabe resumed her tale. “It was so funny at the time, I couldn’t help recording a video. When he woke and saw it, he was livid. He insisted I delete it immediately and swore me to secrecy!”
Arabe’sughter was uncontroble, her breaths short and choppy.
Worried, Marissa reached out to steady her. “Grandma, please, calm down. It’s important to keep your heart in mind.”
Joy, like sorrow, had its dangers, and Arabe was flirting with the former.
However, Arabe was far from finished; after another fit ofughter, she divulged more. “I pretended to delete the video right in front of him, but between us, I saved a copy. Hahaha. Let me just show you.”
She fetched her phone and yed the incriminating video for Marissa.
Marissa’s curiosity surged as she leaned closer to watch the video with Arabe.
After she viewed it, her face turned a deep shade of red, like a ripe tomato.
She had assumed Arabe might have been exaggerating, but the video showed that Connor was even more over-the-top than she had described.
In the video, he was clearly caught in an inappropriate dream, uttering incredibly embarrassing things in his sleep, imagining Only as his partner.
She couldn’t help but curse Connor in her heart. What a shameless guy!
Marissa thought about how outrageous it was for Connor to fantasize about marrying and having children with a woman he had never met.
She felt a mix of anger and embarrassment, as though she had been humiliated without reason.
Arabe, however, was in stitches, unable to contain herughter as she pped her thigh. “Sweetie, don’t you think this is like fate? Connor didn’t even know Only back then, yet he was dreaming about her. Hahaha.”
Marissa was at a loss for words. Wasn’t Arabe a bit too uninhibited? Discussing inappropriate dreams at her age without a hint of embarrassment!
“Grandma, can we drop this topic?” Marissa almost pleaded. “Please, let’s not talk about it anymore. Destroy the video and never bring it up again.”
“Why would we destroy it?” Arabe asked, puzzled, looking at her. “Don’t you see the value in keeping it? Wouldn’t you want to use it to tease Connor?”
When Marissa heard this, a spark of inspiration struck her.
She suddenly became as giddy as Arabe, pulling out her phone eagerly. “Arabe, send me that video!”
