Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel Chapter 312

She had decided to come there for treatment, indicating that deep down in her heart, she still cherished the memories of the past.

If they revisited those old memories, perhaps she'd be moved. Then, maybe they still had a chance to restore their former relationship.

"I'm not going."

Vespera brushed past him and headed straight for the car. Luke stepped over and leaned against the door. Rather than brute force, there was a pleading hint in his expression.

"Vespera, I was wrong this morning. I shouldn't have spoken those hurtful words to you. I admit I was acting out of jealousy and narrow-mindedness. I promise I won't pressure you to like me anymore.

"Let's just consider ourselves friends or classmates. How about we go for a walk together, and then I'll give you your space?"

Had he ever kept track of how often he vowed to leave her alone? Vespera felt as though she were stuck in a cheesy soap opera with endless retakes, and the script might as well have been titled "The Perpetually Tardy Fool".

It was utterly absurd. But this "dog" was more like a Tibetan Mastiff. If it had been a small, yappy dog like a Teddy, she would have simply leashed it and choked it without hesitation.

She glanced at her foot before turning her attention to Luke.

After a brief moment of thought, she said, "I can't walk. Let's go in separately. Just do a quick loop and come back out. If you try to force me like last time, I'll scream for help immediately.

"I'll drop to the ground and cry, telling everyone you're trying to harm me. I'll attract attention from passersby and the police. Even if it's super embarrassing, we'll both end up looking foolish."

Luke realized she was negotiating with him. First, she pretended to be weak and gave in a little. Then, she threatened to drag him down with her. She was betting on his concern for his reputation, hoping he would relent once he had accomplished something.

"Alright, we can drive in for a loop. But you have to ride in my car," Luke said.

"No way," Vespera replied, shaking her head decisively.

Luke gave in a bit more. "Then I'll ride in your car. We'll do a lap, and you can drop me off right here. I promise I'll leave as soon as we're out."
