As soon as the confession came out of his mouth, Felicity frowned, at a loss for words.
After Lucas confessed, the crowd was in an uproar; everyone exclaimed and roared at the same time.
"Say yes! Say yes!"
"Oh God! Lucas is so straightforward, but so romantic!"
… Being watched by so many people, Felicity bit her lips, her face turning red in embarrassment.
"Look, Felicity is blushing!"
"She must have some feelings for Lucas!"
At that moment, not far from the school gate, stood a man clad in black who witnessed the whole scene.
He took out his cell phone and immediately called Jason, "Boss! Someone just confessed to Miss James, at the school gate."
…
Anne and Mia were also at the scene in the crowd.
Seeing what happened, their expressions darkened.
Felicity James was confessed to again!!!
And by Lucas the Handsome?
They came to the school today to submit a five-thousand-word apology essay. Who knew, they’d get to witness such a scene right before leaving.
Their moods were ruined even further by this.
Felicity wasn’t that pretty; why does she end up stealing the limelight everywhere?
"This slutty bitch!"
Anne gnashed her teeth in anger.
The sound of her cursing fell into the ears of students near her.
Several of them immediately looked around and saw them three standing there. Someone said, "Aren’t these Felicity's roommates?"
"Looks like them! Didn’t Anne say that Felicity went to the bar with an escort to spend the night? Is that true?"
"What? Oh no! Why would Lucas confess to such a woman?”
Someone nearby quickly corrected them, "Hey, the counselor clarified that it's a rumor. Anne and those others, they've all been punished!"
"Yeah, I heard they came here today to submit their apology essay."
"Hah! So, they were so jealous of Felicity James that they spread such rumors?"
The comments continued around them.
Hearing these comments, Anne and the other two became even angrier, their faces darkened. Their eyes turned into sharp arrows, shooting looks of hatred at Felicity, who was the main focus of the crowds around them.
But Felicity had no time to pay attention to them.
Her brain felt hurting and she didn't know how to handle the situation.
Looking at the atmosphere, Lucas opened his mouth again and said to her sweetly, "Felicity James, I have liked you for a long time, today I summoned up the courage to confess my feelings! I hope you can accept my heart…”
Felicity looked extremely embarrassed and wanted to say no.
Looking at her hesitating to respond, the students around them could not help but guess the outcome, “Look at her, do you think she’d say yes?”
"I think she’ll. I mean, it’s Lucas the Handsome. There is a long queue of women for him just waiting to get a chance."
"But Felicity looks a bit embarrassed, so maybe it’s not a yes..."
The student beside him lowered his voice and said, "Not necessarily. Lucas’s family is so rich. Felicity can’t even dream of being that rich, she can’t match Lucas in status. I think she is not deserving of Lucas."
"Oh! Shut up, being so pretty is enough!"
Listening to everyone's comments, Lucas felt a bit more confident and he asked her firmly, "Felicity, do you want to be my girlfriend?"
Felicity didn't want to hurt Lucas’s feelings in public, but she had to respond to him and make herself clear, so she said helplessly, "I’m sorry, Lucas! I can’t."
"I didn't ask you to like me. You made this whole scene yourself. I don’t have to be criminalized for humiliating you, you did this to yourself. I hope you will not do this again in the future."
Felicity knew that he felt humiliated, but she couldn’t allow him to humiliate her in return, so she made it clear.
"Some people really like walking all over the other person! If a person like Lucas likes you, it’s the most fortunate thing that can happen in your lifetime. But you still act arrogantly? Who do you think you are, some rich princess?"
Anne, who was still brooding over Felicity's luck couldn’t keep herself from commenting.
She couldn't help but gloat at her humiliation.
"Exactly! There are so many girls here who like Lucas and would do anything to be his girlfriend, but you dared to reject him. What do you think the other girls are, who are you to look down upon them?"
Mia assisted Anne from the side; her words instantly attracted hostility from the girls in the crowd.
True, isn’t Felicity's behavior despising them?
"Who do you think you are?"
"Dared to reject Mr. Perfect?”
A wave of nasty insulting comments rose up around her; Felicity was not even surprised by this anymore.
She didn't want to continue to argue with these people, so she turned around, ready to leave.
"Where are you going? Make it clear! "
Anne stopped her by standing in front of her; the students around her also didn’t let Felicity leave.
Lucas said angrily, "Felicity, you must explain yourself today."
Felicity also got angry, she said, "Romantic feelings for a person can’t be forced on them. I like my boyfriend very much; I love him very much. No matter how handsome the other man is, no one else can enter my heart!"
This completely infuriated Lucas. His face looked cold and ugly as he grasped Felicity's arm and said, "Today, you will have to accept my confession!"
Since the soft and sweet Lucas didn’t work on her, it was time to show her the other side!
Felicity became more and more angry and desperate in her attempts to make him let go of her, "Please! Just let me go!"
