Chapter 449 The Person I Like is Will Darcey
His tone was filled with sorrow. “Elisa, did you say yes to him?”
Elisa was perplexed. “Carle, are you drunk?”
Carle’s voice was different from his usual gentle one. “Answer me, Elisa. Are you fond of Will Darcey?”
Elisa was startled. She had never liked Will and had never thought of agreeing to date him. However, given Carle’s current situation, she decided to tell a lie. She hesitated for a moment and hummed, “Yes.”
Carle felt his heart squeeze. He had been distressed ever since Will announced to the public that he was courting Elisa. However, thinking that Elisa had just divorced and was still recovering emotionally, he thought she wouldn’t accept Will’s pursuit, so he didn’t care much about it.
But now, he was in a panic upon seeing their frequent interaction and how they always showed up in public together. Not only that, there were trending topics on Twitter that discussed how they made a perfect match.
Not only that, Elisa was even going to collaborate with Will. If she didn’t like him, why would she do that?
Carle had been controlling his emotions and trying to take things slow because he didn’t want to disturb Elisa. However, little did he expect things to turn out this way. Today, he failed to suppress his feelings. He was out drinking with friends, but because he was overwhelmed by his emotions, he soon became drunk.
At that moment, he couldn’t get a hold of himself and just wanted to pour his heart out and get answers.
Carle inhaled deeply with his eyes filled with agony. “Why… Elisa, you told me that you didn’t plan to date any men. Why have you never considered me? Am I such a worthless man to you?”
Elisa tightened her grip on the phone and denied it. “Not at all, Carle. You’re a very decent man. Maybe it’s because we’ve been together since young. The four of us are close friends, and I always deemed you as my elder brother, so I never thought of being together with you.”
Carle sneered. “Elder brother…” He didn’t want to be her elder brother at all! He wanted to be her boyfriend, her husband, the apple of her eye who could protect her for a lifetime.
However, those were just his wishful thinking…
Carle felt a bitter taste in his throat. With his eyes red-rimmed, he gripped his phone tightly and asked in a trembling voice, “Elisa, we have no blood relation to each other. We grew up together since we were young… Can’t you… consider me? You’re the one I love and the only girl I want to care for for the rest of my life. Elisa, would you give me a chance?”
Ever since being rebuked by Elisa last time, Carle had decided to hide his feelings for her, and he did it. Nonetheless, the alcohol caused his rationality to be replaced by impulsion. Although he was still conscious and could most likely remember what happened tonight the next morning, he couldn’t control himself anymore at that moment.
There was a change in Elisa’s expression. She couldn’t possibly be together with Carle. What she said just now was true – she saw Carle as an elder brother. Besides… She was a divorced woman; she didn’t want to harm Carle again because it would be unfair to him.
Elisa closed her eyes for a second. When she opened them again, they were filled with clarity. “Carle, it’s impossible between us. The person I like is Will Darcey.” She spat word by word. However, the moment she said that, a figure appeared in front of her.
