"You can talk now." Phoebe said indifferently.
Rory looked deeply at Phoebe and said, "Phoebe, for the past four years, I have regretted every day. I missed you all the time. Now that I'm finally back, I won't leave you again."
Phoebe's eyes gleamed, and the slight change in her expression revealed that she was uneasy. Finally, she sighed and said, "Brother Zamani, don't say that again. I have a husband now."
"No! I haven't finished yet!" Rory said forcefully, "Phoebe, I know you don't love him. Even since you got married, you haven't slept together. I can tell from your eyes that you don't love him, and you're waiting for me!"
Phoebe was silent. Rory was right. She really didn't love Tom, but Rory was wrong about one thing, and she corrected him, "You're wrong. I am not waiting for you."
Rory smiled and continued, "You lied. If you are not waiting for me, how could you not sleep with him? Phoebe, don't worry. Now that I'm back, I won't leave again. Tomorrow, I will propose to your grandfather and ask his permission to marry you!"
As he spoke, he was going to hold Phoebe's hand.
However, Phoebe dodged before he could touch her. "Brother Zamani, please behave yourself. I'm married!"
Rory failed again. He was not angry but lick his chops. Feeling that Phoebe was confused, he knew that she still had feelings for him.
Thinking of this, he knew that he should be more patient with Phoebe. Otherwise, he would overreach himself.
"It's all my fault! I am impatient. Now that four years have passed, a lot of things have changed. We are not as close as before." Rory said with sadness. Anyone around him saw his look would be infected and would want to be close to him. "But Phoebe, please give me a chance to make up for you, okay?"
Phoebe's heart softened when she saw Rory like this. She sighed, "Brother Zamani, why bother? I'm a married woman, but you're still a golden bachelor. There's no need to waste time on me."
"No!" Rory replied seriously, "Phoebe, you are still that simple little girl in my mind, and you haven't changed!"
The way he was soulful was appealing to women. Phoebe would have been fallen for him in the past. But now, it was too late, because Phoebe had been in love with someone else.
Phoebe said, "But I've changed."
Rory didn't want to believe. He looked at Tom and gritted his teeth, "Because of him? He's not good enough for a wonderful woman like you!"
Phoebe didn't answer this question, but said, "Brother Zamani, thank you for saving us just now. Let me treat you to dinner next time we get the chance."
Rory knew this couldn't be rushed, so he changed the topic and said, "I heard that your company's capital chain is broken, and it is in urgent need of fundraising to tide over the difficulties, right?"
Phoebe did not deny. Rory was a genius in business. Now that he had returned to H City, it was normal for him to know the news.
"I can raise 50 million for you. I only want 20 % of your shares." Rory said.
Phoebe was overjoyed. "Really?"
