Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 776

Janet couldn't even remember for how long she had been so depressed.

She felt even more disgusted at the thought that Daniel and Kate might be out on a date together.

She remembered that Ella had once told her that she was actually the one that sought after Samuel, and that the chase had been, indeed, very painful. And Janet was now in the same position as she was years ago. She also had a crush on Daniel, but she didn't want to swallow her pride and go after him. She loathed doing things she didn't agree with from the start.

But what should she do then?

Touching her aching abdomen, Janet wanted to return to her tent, but she couldn't make a single move forward.

She heard the sound of footsteps coming closely to her and then a man sat down next to her.

He looked into the same direction that Janet was looking, and asked, "Aren't fireflies beautiful?"

Janet nodded and thought to herself that these simple fireflies have a lot more beauty in them than a man carrying just an ugly heart.

"What happened to you these past couple of days? You seem sad!" She looked confused, like a little rabbit which couldn't find its way back home.

She felt more and more morose. She buried her head between her knees, and answered, "I'm OK. Thank you for your concern."

Brian looked at the fireflies and asked, "Janet, do you like Bill?"

"Em? I like Bill because he helps me a lot." Obviously Janet had misunderstood Brian.

Brian pulled up some blades of grass and played with them. After a couple of minutes, he asked Janet straightforward, "Would you like to be my girlfriend?"

"Cough." Janet almost choked on her own saliva, and the shock brought by Brian's words even made her forget about her aching stomach.

"Brian, you... we... we've just met each other for a few days. Why would you say that?"

Brian looked her in the eyes, and said, "It takes just a moment to fall in love with a person."

...

Janet's heart was beating faster.

In such a romantic setting, and after a handsome soldier had just told her that he loved her, it was pretty hard for her to calm down.

However, Janet said, "Brian, I seem to have fallen in love with someone."

Janet's words broke Brian's heart.

He was not a little boy anymore, but he had spent most of his time in the army, and seldom had free time to spend with girls.

His father had demanded of him to attend blind dates. He met with several girls, but no matter how pretty they were, he had no attraction or feelings towards them.

He now finally had a crush on a girl, and also didn't mind that she was several years younger than he was. But she refused him, and Brian gave a wry smile.

He sighed, and asked, "You seem to fall in love with someone else... Are you sure of it?"

After all, she was just a little girl.

"No, I'm not sure." Janet wasn't sure whether she loved Daniel or not. Sometimes she wanted to beat him to a pulp, but sometimes her heart beat faster just at the thought of him.

She hated his cold and arrogant character.
