Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1225

"You sound like you paid for the food," Ezra replied, his tone flat. Despite the table being covered with so much food, he continued, "But do tell me how much of this beef you want to eat. I can buy you a farm and you may eat as many beef as you like every day. Would that be okay? Would you like that?"

"I would like if you wouldn't rub how rich you are in my face," Evelyn mumbled, rolling her eyes as she could not take him anymore. After that, she decided she would no longer talk to Ezra, because so far, she had lost every verbal battle they had. If she went on arguing with him, she would only piss herself off more. And on that good day, she didn't want to do that.

Finding that Evelyn stopped talking to him, Ezra gazed at her in suspicion. When he saw that she was eating happily for a while without even saying a word to him, he could not help but furrow his eyebrows and ask, "What's going on? Are you afraid that you would not be able to outspeak me so you just gave up and decided not to say anything anymore?"

"I would rather save all my energy for eating lovely, delicious food. Thank you very much," Evelyn answered arrogantly, raising her chin as a sign of defiance.

Ezra could never bear her ignoring him. Every time that had happened, he would stand in front of her and block her view just to remind her of his existence. It was childish, but he had to do what he had to do. As a person who knew Ezra quite well, Evelyn knew he would do that, but she would forget all about that every time she was irritated with him.

From the love story between Charlie and Elsa, Evelyn learned that it was always the one with the leading role who would win a fight. Therefore, she had to be the leading one. She must make Ezra understand that he had to do what she wanted him to do, now or in the future.

Immersed in her beautiful fantasy, she didn't realize that things were not going as she dreamt or expected. When she really lived with Ezra later, she found out that it was meaningless to have a man if everything was decided by her. Therefore, Evelyn, who was as domineering as a queen, decided that she would indeed live a life like that of a queen's. She would enjoy her food and blow off steam occasionally.

Of course, all these would happen much later down the line. At that moment, however, there was something extremely urgent, hanging over her head. And that was the engagement that was announced by Addison. The summer vacation would be in one month and clearly, she didn't want to be engaged to Ezra that easily.

If she allowed that to take place, she felt that she would only stand to lose. Ezra had never done anything for Evelyn that was as romantic as what Charlie had done to Elsa. Charlie had confessed his affection towards Elsa in a big way; Charlie had made an electronic photo album of Elsa's photos at different ages; Charlie had arranged an artificial Fluorescent squid for Elsa... In contrast, Ezra hadn't done anything for Evelyn except argue with her. That was all he did when he was with her.

While eating, Evelyn's face kept showing a variety of complicated expressions. However, disdain and dissatisfaction were the prominent emotions written on her lovely face. As an outstanding lawyer, of course Ezra was able to guess what she was thinking about.

Sitting in the first class cabin of the airplane back to A City, Elsa looked out of the small window. As she stared at the whites clouds, which looked very close to her, all of a sudden, she felt a feeling of loss. 'Happy times always go by so quickly, ' she thought.

Charlie turned his head to look at Elsa and then at the magazine in his hands. "If you like this place, we can come here again during our next vacation," he said, as if he could read her mind. Elsa turned her head to look at him in curiosity. He placed his mouth by her ear and whispered, "Next time let's come here and take beautiful wedding photographs. Okay?"

Charlie's deep and attractive voice warmed Elsa's neck. Soon, the feeling spread on her body and it made her feel limp. The whole thing was making her blush so much. Embarrassed, she said, her voice shaking, "Who, who will take wedding photographs... together with you..."

"If you don't take wedding photographs together with me, then who will you take them with?" Charlie asked seriously.

"I..." Elsa could not finish her sentence. She thought for a while but she was too nervous to figure out what to say. In the end, she just blurted out, "Don't ask me about that."

A gentle and warm smile appeared at the corners of Charlie's mouth. The previous bruise that he had as a result of his fight against Quintin had already disappeared from his handsome face. Actually, the entirety of his face had already recovered, and he looked very, very attractive.

Elsa felt that it was impossible for her to resist the allure of Charlie. Every time he smiled, she felt like her brain was blank, like she forgot everything she knew in an instant.
