Task NO.1 How to Pursue Miss CEO novel Chapter 424

Chapter 424 Stop Overthinking

Pierre shoved Selena aside angrily. “F*ck off! I told you I’m fine. Everything’s fine!” She then realized how his cheeks had turned pink. I can’t believe this guy is actually capable of feeling embarrassed! “Is it that hard to admit it when you feel nervous or afraid?” she uttered with a pout.

He realized what she was doing then. This woman is doing this on purpose! All of a sudden, she wrapped her arms around his neck as she whispered, “What are you so afraid of? Are you afraid that I won’t get married to you?” Selena could sense how tense and anxious Pierre felt the whole afternoon after Joaquin told her to bring him for a body checkup, and she knew that Pierre was just trying to conceal his worries.

“You’ve done so much for me, Pierre. You know that I would never leave you alone, right?” Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke. Her heart ached whenever she thought about what the inspectors had said to her earlier. Pierre’s identity wouldn’t have been exposed if it weren’t for my ignorance. “Alright. Why are you getting all cheesy with me?” he grumbled. “Did you expose your identity because of me?” she asked.

He immediately brushed his thumb against her cheeks when he saw the tears on her face. “You need to stop overthinking,” he said. He actually had a good idea of what the inspectors told Selena during their session.

Even before they met up with her, he already knew that Selena would eventually find out about how she was related to his leaked identity. It was true that he did it for her, but he didn’t want her to be burdened by such knowledge. “It’s only a matter of time before my identity gets exposed. They would have managed to find out about me even if it weren’t for you,” he continued. “But—”

“No buts.” He interrupted her words. “Don’t overthink it. It’s fine; there are some benefits to having my identity exposed anyway. We’ll be able to capture all of those people the moment they come out of hiding.”

Selena knew that Pierre was merely trying to comfort her, so she pressed her head against his chest as she said in a gentle voice, “I promise I won’t drag you down, Pierre. I promise I’ll never leave you.” She sounded like she was making a solemn oath. “Please don’t leave me behind either, okay?”

He kissed her on the lips. “Aren’t you afraid of being in a committed relationship with me?”
