Jamarion left calmly after reaching an oral agreement with Alana while Alana slowly realized what a mad decision she just made as she took a shower before going to bed.
She regretted it.
So she took her phone immediately after coming out of the bathroom, wanting to tell Jamarion about her regret, but she gave up the second she wanted to call.
Because she knew he would definitely disagree as he was a bigot to some extent.
She turned to Christina and Bella because they had a lot in common though they were two years younger than her.
"Oh my God, you are insane." Christina sent a voice message in astonishment in their chatting group after learning about Alana's bet with Jamarion.
"But that's not too bad; you have four years, after all." Christina continued.
"But I don't expect that he would offer to give you four years. I thought he would push you hard."
"That's the most confusing thing, which also put me under pressure."
"It feels like he won't give up after all this wait considering how calm he is now."
Alana began to realize how canny and sophisticated he was at his age.
Christina showed admiration, "That's cool."
"I like his trick, which proves how much he loves you."
Alana was speechless.
Undoubtedly, Christina believed in love the most among the three girls. To quote Nina, Christina took after her father in terms of love.
People might think girls were unable to steer clear of getting hurt in a relationship, but Phil was the one that played such a role in his story with Anya.
Christina put love above everything else, and so did Phil.
Bella replied after a while, "I think it's a good choice, but my reason is different – you two have the same family background and your parents go way back, so you two could skip matching each other for marriage and be married directly."
"While there is time for work, why waste it on love?" Bella continued.
"If I find a good man around me, I would marry him immediately to satisfy my parents, and then we could live our own life."
Bella made Christina and Alana silent for a while and Alana said, "You two represent the war between love and interest."
Christina put love above all, while Bella put interest first.
