Chapter 846 Giving Birth to a Little Brother for Me
Two seconds later, Narissa shoved Jamie away to turn her head to face Jayden. “Do you know how I feel now?” “Y-You guys…” Jayden’s mouth gaped in surprise. With fire blazing in his eyes, he swung a punch at Jamie without a prelude.
Jamie failed to respond in time as his head swayed sideways and he covered his cheek out of instinct. “F*ck!” When he turned to look at Jayden, the man already threw the roses away and left. The sight of his swollen cheek pricked Narissa’s guilty conscience.
However, she decided to take the upper hand of the situation by preempting him. “Haven’t you always liked to be the peacemaker? This is the price you gotta pay to be that.”
She wheeled around and left cooly, leaving the man huffing and puffing. He spread his arms while muttering, “Why? Why?” She stole my first kiss for a buckler, and why do I have to take the punch for no reason? How is this logical?!
The doorbell resounded not long after Elise arrived home. After opening the door, she saw Narissa holding a bag of wine bottles outside.
“Mind drinking with me?” Narissa could not put a finger on the reason behind the urge to confide in Elise. She knew that her limbs drove the car all the way here on their own accord and she gladly entered the house.
Elise welcomed the guest and a wine party began in the living room on the first floor. Narissa drank for a while until Elise inquired, “Is something on your mind?”
Narissa polished off the remaining wine before slamming the wine bottle onto the table. It took her a while to lift her head. “I don’t know how to put it, but I think I’ve fallen for someone who doesn’t like me.”
Smiling in acknowledgement, Elise soon collected herself and spoke softly, “Does that person know about it?”
“I’m not sure.” Narissa opened another bottle of wine with fumble hands and downed half of it.
“Let me see. So, you like someone, but you don’t feel happy about him not catching it. You’re feeling troubled instead. Hiding your feelings is obviously not your way. Why don’t you confess?” Elise guided Narissa slowly.
“He’s a cheeky brat. If I confess, he’ll laugh at me for sure!” Narissa’s cheeks puffed up in vex.
“If he laughs at you when you’re serious about something, then you can assume that he’s immature. Trust me, liking someone isn’t something embarrassing.” Elise patted the back of Narissa’s hand in comfort.
Narissa looked at her dubiously like a lost child in a maze. “But I’m a girl. If I confess to him, doesn’t that mean I have to be the one to make advances? That’s embarrassing.”
“Why do you think that way?” Elise chuckled. “Who says that boys have to be the one who confesses? Are there rules for one to fall in love? Think about it. You’ve come this far by doing everything that your heart tells you to do. Isn’t that cool? Isn’t it painful to hesitate your decisions now?”
Narissa heaved a deep sigh. “I’m just worried that we can’t stay friends after my confession fails.”
Elise corrected her sitting posture in silence while thinking, She’s bringing it up lightly, but it seems like she likes Jamie more than I thought.
The fear of losing someone was one of the signs of loving someone. Instead of just liking someone, she was considering the possible outcomes of all the bad things that could happen.
“Why are you keeping quiet?” Narissa’s eyelids flickered flusteredly. “Do you think the same too?”
“Hmm… That is not entirely impossible.” Elise tried her best to be neutral. “But there’s a possibility for anything to happen. If you confess, you might regret it, but you might not regret it too. However, if you don’t, you’ll regret it someday for sure.”
