“Do you find it fun to toy with me, Arius? Is it because I like you that you think you can treat me however you please?”
When Georgina uttered those words, anguish hit her hard.
What have I ever done besides having feelings for him? Even if I like him a lot, I still have my dignity! What gives him the right to think I’ll agree to date him with just a lift of a finger?
The sight of her devastated had Arius at a loss for a moment.
“That’s not what I meant, Georgina. I really want to try dating you. Who knows, we can be happy?
Ultimately, tears escaped her eyes.
Who knows? He’s giving me a spark of hope when I’d just decided to give up, thinking I’ll be moved by it, huh?
The instant he saw that she was crying, his panic mounted. In all honesty, he had no idea how to interact with women.
However, distress inundated him for real to see her shedding tears.
“I’m sorry, Georgina. Forget it if you’re unwilling to give me a chance. Please don’t cry!”
I’ve never intended to hurt her. Truly, never once had it crossed my
Unfortunately, Georgina wept even harder upon hearing that
“It’s precisely because you don’t like me that you don’t even care!” she roared. On the heels of that. mortification deluged her.
Without warning. Arius hugged her.
“I’m serious, Georgina. I actually don’t have any strong points. Although I’ve attained some accomplishments in the medical field. I’m afraid I’m not the type of man you want in life.”
With his arms wrapped around her. Georgina’s heart raced wildly. She felt as though it was going to pound out of her chest.
“Arius…” She honestly did not quite know how else she should explain things to him.
I like him purely because of the person he is. Never had I considered other reasons.
“I’m sorry. I never meant to hurt you. But when I learned that you were heading back to your hometown to go on blind dates, I felt absolutely wretched. That’s the only reason I cast caution to the wind and went to look for you.
Arius finally bared his heart.
“Really? You were wretched when I left?”
Perhaps he merely doesn’t know how to love. And maybe there’s still a speck of hope for me.
“Mm, I was really wretched when I learned that you were leaving”
At long last, a smile bloomed on Georgina’s face.
“Okay, we’ll try dating, then. You don’t need to feel pressurized. I won’t blame you if things don’t work out at the end of the day.”
After all, not all relationships are destined to end in marriage, nor do all lovers get together. Not to mention, our relationship is starting from my unrequited love in the first place.
Surprisingly, Arius furrowed his brows.
“You’re too pessimistic, Georgina. I like you. As such, I’ll try my best to make this relationship work. I won’t allow anyone to hurt you.”
He embraced the woman in front of him tightly.
“But I’ve already promised Sophie, and I do want to try being the person in charge of this place.”
As Georgina had agreed to it, she felt that she still wanted to give it a try.
“All right. As long as you’re happy, I have no objections.”
Argh! Sophie is too devious! If Georgina were to be the person in charge, how could I be able to sit back and do nothing?
Arius felt as though he had been set up.
Alas, there was nothing he could do about it.
I can neither beat her in a physical match nor win an argument against her. In the end, I’ll have no choice but to slog silently.
“What’s with this expression of yours? Are you already regretting it now?” The moment Georgina glimpsed the look on his face, her heart sank.
To her surprise, he kissed her on the mouth.
