Chapter 2307
He wanted to serve her every day. He wanted to cook for her and give her flowers every day. It was just that simple without any schemes and ulterior motives at all. How great would that be?
Gloria rolled her eyes at him with annoyance, and then she smiled. "James, you didn't bring me flowers today."
"Gloria, I—" James wanted to explain himself but he was cut off by Gloria before he did.
"I know. I know, James," said Gloria. "It's because you heard Angie talking about her husband who used to sweet-talk at the beginning but ended up having a change of heart, so you don't want to be a man who sweet-talks. You didn't want to be like Angie's husband. He gave her flowers every day and treated her very attentively, but in the end, he still abandoned Angie. Am I right?"
James nodded. "Yes, I just wanted to do something more useful for you."
To restrain himself from sweet-talking was something that James and his gang had discussed together the night before. It was because they were afraid that they would alarm Gloria and all of their previous efforts would be in vain.
"But I won't," Gloria said firmly.
"Won't what?" James asked.
"I have my own judgment." Gloria smiled confidently. "I can tell whether a person is good or bad. Take you. You are not that kind of man in your bones at all. Isn't that right, James?"
James immediately agreed. "Yes, you're right, Gloria. How could I be a man like Angie's husband?"
"So what are you afraid of?"
James was speechless.
"Don't need to be afraid. Besides, even if you were to dump me and abandon me one day, I won't cry in front of you as well because I have my own dignity. Also, I know one utterly important principle, which is that people are bound to part then they no longer are fated. Don't worry. I won't be like Angie because our personalities are different. I..."
There was a pause before Gloria smiled bashfully. "Deep down, I am a person who likes romantic gestures more. For example, you can give me a bunch of flowers every morning. It doesn't matter if it's roses, daisies, carnations, or lilies. Wildflowers which are unable to be recognized by names are fine as well. I can even not have any food as long as I have the scent of flowers. Haha. Are you thinking that a fifty-year-old woman like me is a little unreasonable? But I just like flowers!"
"No, no, no, nothing like that, Gloria." James was suddenly overjoyed. 1
He suddenly understood that he managed to maintain his composure and put on airs, but the old woman could no longer keep calm anymore. As expected, it's actually easier for older women to become lonely compared to young girls. They were harder to court, but once a man successfully courted her and let her know that she could rely on him, she would become impatient! That was simply how an old woman would act! Haha!
James was secretly feeling very happy, but he remained calm and composed on the surface. He was still smiling. "Gloria, I'm sorry. I will certainly bring you flowers tomorrow. Nothing is impossible and I can do anything that you can think of!"
Gloria immediately beamed broadly like a teenage girl. "Hurry up! Come in quickly!"
