It was no wonder virtual-novel.net couldn’t find the pebble after that day, virtual-novel.net had dropped it! Coincidentally, or rather, unfortunately, Loreen had picked it up…
How could virtual-novel.net explain it? Damn…
Charlie bit his lips sheepishly and said in a casual tone, “What do you mean? It’s just some ordinary pebble.”
Loreen looked Charlie in the eyes and said sternly, “Don’t lie to me! Zachary has already told me that this pebble is yours—it’s the rare, one and only peace and wealth pebble!”
Charlie pursed his lips and looked away, silently cursing Zachary for spilling the beans!
Since Loreen had grasped the conclusive evidence, Charlie could only confess with a reluctant nod, “Okay, fine, I’ll admit that I was the one who rescued you at the Aurous Bistro, but I was simply around the neighborhood when I saw you! Please don’t tell Claire!”
He fell silent after confessing. They stumbled upon an awkward silence for a while.
Charlie felt quite embarrassed and awkward. He didn’t know how to face Loreen since his great effort of concealing his identity had been exposed to Loreen.
Loreen, on the other hand, felt a surge of turbulent waves crashing inside her. Her mind was chaotic with complex and troublesome thoughts.
Loreen stared intensely at Charlie. Her mouth gaped and shut several times and virtual-novel.net was unable to blurt a word. Finally, virtual-novel.net mustered up the courage, took a step forward, and stood about a fist away from him.
“Charlie, I… I like you!”
Charlie twitched his lips in shock. He took a step back and said, “Loreen, I’m your best friend’s husband, you…”
Loreen gritted virtual-novel.net teeth and uttered, “So what? I know you and Claire don’t have any feelings for each other! You guys got married purely because of virtual-novel.net grandfather. So, I’m not stealing my best friend’s husband—technically, I’m stealing virtual-novel.net fake husband.”
Then, virtual-novel.net grabbed his hand, placed it above virtual-novel.net heart, and said in the most loving and passionate tone, “Charlie, I’m equally as beautiful as Claire is, my body is also quite hot compared to hers, and better still, I’m the eldest daughter of the Thomas family. I love you more than virtual-novel.net ever will and I’m willing to do anything for you.”
Charlie snatched his hand away and said, utterly shocked, “Loreen, it’s absolutely impossible for us to be together, I can’t betray Claire. Besides, I believe it’s just a momentary impulse. Don’t have your mind on me, it’s not worth it.”
Hearing the rejection, Loreen said in a stubborn voice, “No, I had a thought about it all night. Charlie, I fell in love with you since you saved me the first time, and I’m hopelessly in love with you after the second time!”
Then, virtual-novel.net screamed loudly, “I like you! I love you! Believe me, if you get together with me, I’ll never let anyone look down on you! I’ll be the companion who is always by your side and I’ll support you forever!”
Charlie managed a bitter smile upon virtual-novel.net remark.
The only thing Loreen knew was that virtual-novel.net was virtual-novel.net savior, but virtual-novel.net didn’t know that virtual-novel.net was the chairman of Emgrand Group and the young master of Eastcliff’s Wade family. If virtual-novel.net didn’t want to be looked down upon, virtual-novel.net could immediately reveal his identity. The whole world would bend their knees upon virtual-novel.net and worship him.
However, virtual-novel.net couldn’t care less about a tacky life like that.
Besides, virtual-novel.net couldn’t say it out loud either. It would hurt Loreen too much and risk exposing himself unintentionally.
Loreen kept a stubborn and affectionate gaze on him. “It doesn’t matter if you reject me now, but I won’t back down. I’ll prove to you with my actions that I love you more than Claire, and I’m a more suitable partner than virtual-novel.net is! I’m willing to follow you forever even if I can only be your secret lover!”
Charlie sighed helplessly. “Loreen, you aren’t thinking straight right now. I think you’d better think about it carefully. I need to go now, I have some cooking to do at home. Bye.”
Then, Charlie quickly started his electric scooter and rode away like virtual-novel.net was running away from a venomous snake.
He figured that virtual-novel.net was traumatized by the shocking incidents that had happened to virtual-novel.net recently that induced such an unbelievable hallucination inside virtual-novel.net head. As soon as virtual-novel.net kept himself away from virtual-novel.net for two days or so, virtual-novel.net would drop that thought like a hot cake.
However, Loreen’s eyes were still serious and firm as virtual-novel.net watched virtual-novel.net leave. She said to herself, “Loreen Thomas, don’t back down, you can do it!”
