Chapter 216 Gentle Adenauer
Hearing the ringtone on the phone, I felt my heart racing aga
I didn’t know if my choice was right. Maybe I had gone crazy. Maybe I would realize it was a wrong decision in the future and hate myself even more. My selfishness and vulnerability would only hurt others! But I did it anyway.
While waiting, I felt as if time had slowed down. When I stared blankly at the phone screen, my heart was full of contradictions. And I wish the call could never get through. However, as soon as this idea popped into my mind, he answered the call.
Seeing the call duration under his name increasing from zero, I put the phone to my ear.
Then, I heard a long breath before he said, “Olive?”
I should have been familiar with his deep and charming voice, but I was unexpectedly taken aback. I was so nervous that I felt my heart about to jump out of my chest. And I suspected he could hear my intense heartbeats on the other end of the phone.
“Olive, what’s wrong? Where are you now?”
His tone became anxious, full of worry.
“No, I’m fine. Don’t worry about me,” I hurriedly explained. But when I opened my mouth, my words were incoherent. I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down. After all, there was no turning back at this point.
“I just wanted to ask you a question.”
I closed my eyes and plucked up my courage, saying, “Adenauer, can I change my mind?”
While speaking, I couldn’t even raise my head because of the guilt in my heart. I had a lot to explain, but my confused mind did not allow me to organize my language within a short time.
An hour ago, I had bluntly rejected him. But now, I changed my mind. How ridiculous it was!
If I were him, I would severely scold this capricious woman and hang up the phone.
But he didn’t, so we were still on the phone.
Adenauer was a good man. Maybe he had not understood what I meant. But when he came back to his senses, he would be extremely disappointed with me. And I was ready to be scolded.
“Do you mean you’re willing to date me?” Adenauer asked in a calm voice on the phone.
This was different from what I had expected!
I repeatedly think about his words but couldn’t figure out his emotion. So, I guessed he was restraining his anger and disappointment. After all, he was a professional psychiatrist who could always easily see through my thoughts. He probably had guessed a lot after seeing my bad behavior in the restaurant. My restlessness and refusal had revealed that I was in love with. someone else!
Adenauer was an excellent man, so his self-esteem would not allow him to pretend not to know or keep humble in front of me. So, I blushed at my despicable and selfish behavior. His good manners and upbringing did not allow him to yell at me, but I would probably lose a friend forever.
“I see.”
Not hearing my answer, Adenauer said, “Dear Olive, does this mean I can formally invite you to dinner if you are free after getting off work tomorrow?”
I raised my head in surprise with the phone in my hand, not knowing how to react.
“What did you say?”
Had I misheard his words?
Adenauer had invited me to dinner instead of getting angry!
Was he crazy? Was this a prank? He must be so mad that he wanted to play a trick on me, right?
Adenauer laughed on the phone, “Did you expect I would get angry? Did you think I will accuse you of being fickle and not taking me seriously?”
Look, he could read my mind!
“Adenauer, I’m not kidding with you.”
