Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1151

"How long are you going to stand there? Like forever?" Charlie asked in a low voice.

Elsa sighed and dragged herself to the table. She sat down unwillingly. She quickly gave her order and bit her lips.

"What on earth are you doing, Charlie? What's this all about?" she asked, glaring at Charlie.

Charlie took his time pouring a cup of iced coco for her and then replied gently, "What should I do to make you believe that I'm serious? I want you to be my girl, Elsa."

"Stop joking, Charlie." She thought that he was being ridiculous.

Charlie heaved a sigh and passed the cup to Elsa. He responded seriously, "I mean it, Elsa." He paused for a moment to calm down and continued, "Please listen to me. I have been more than serious ever since we met again. I know what I am doing." Before Elsa could say anything, he said in a husky voice, "I came back for you, Elsa. I came to this college for you." He had received his master degrees on both finance and economic management from Harvard. It was not necessary for him to come all the way to A city to accompany his twin sister to complete her college. Evelyn was never the reason why he had come here. With or without him, Evelyn could live a fascinating life. He had come for Elsa.

Elsa's eyes widened in astonishment, almost popping out of the sockets. "What do you mean? I don't believe you! You're here for me?" she exclaimed, almost in a mocking tone. But she felt goose bumps on her back, and her heart pounded wildly in her chest.

"Yes," Charlie said without any hesitation. He licked his lips once and fixed his eyes on her. His gaze was speaking to her, imploring her to believe his words. "Elsa, I thought that you had figured that out this morning on the playground. Why do you look so puzzled now?"

Elsa's face turned red in embarrassment.

She had only flung him down by accident this morning and the kiss was unintentional. To make things more complicated, some students had even taken their photos at that exact moment. She had ruined his reputation in college, and since he had a big crush on her, she had to be his girlfriend as compensation. He was making the best out of the situation.

"I— I didn't mean it, you know!" Elsa tried to explain, heat raising up on her face.

"I know," Charlie said with a small laugh. His words gave Elsa some relief. But then he went on, "I know that you didn't mean it, but you must have been pretty satisfied with what you had done." Elsa wanted to throw the cup at his handsome face.

'God, please get this man out of my sight before I kill him. Please!' Elsa screamed in her head.

But of course, God wasn't listening to her. It turned out that God was only willing to listen to Charlie. That was a truth that she would end up learning years after she started living with Charlie.
