No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 252

Allen took a step closer to me, and I instinctively stepped back.

He chuckled, saying, "Be my girlfriend."

I froze for a moment but then let out a mocking laugh. "Mr. Clark, cracking such a joke this early isn't very appropriate, especially since you know..."

"I'm not joking," Allen cut me off, "Only my girlfriend gets to meet my dad."

His words made me stiffen. This was clearly a way to pressure me.

I should've known my uneasy feeling was for a reason.

"You probably don't know, but my dad is a suspicious guy, trusts no one, especially now with his status, there's too many people trying to get close with ulterior motives. So, to avoid wasting his energy, he doesn't meet anyone outside the family," Allen explained in detail, but I knew this was just an excuse.

"Also, let me talk about myself. I was smitten the moment I saw you. I know I have a reputation and have dated quite a few girls, but those were just flings, nothing serious. Marrying them? I wouldn't want to, and neither would my dad," Allen said, laughing at himself.

He must've felt quite shameless.

"But you're different. You're the real deal, the kind who's all about family and home. That's why I want to pursue you seriously," Allen said, his gaze intense.

I had to admit, he seemed genuine.

Just half an hour ago, another rich playboy was after me, and now here's Allen.

When it rains, it pours, it seems.

But just last night, I'd made things official with Ernest. Now, I wondered if Ernest was the catalyst for all this.

"Mr. Clark, I appreciate your sincerity and your misplaced affection, but I'm sorry, I have a boyfriend," I was straightforward with my rejection.

Allen laughed. "That's a bit of a lazy excuse, don't you think? I asked Jefferson at the basketball game; he said you were single."
