What Do You Know About Me?
Eustace scolded him inwardly for being so immature, then said coldly, “I’d advise you to be more careful with your words in the future.You’re married now.Jade might run after you with a rolling pin one day.”
Max glanced nervously at Jade for a second.However, she didn’t look angry.He retorted, “Jade and I are on great terms.She wouldn’t mind.”
“That’s enough.Eat your food.” Jade rolled her eyes.
Although she knew Max didn’t really have feelings for Danika, she felt it was best if he shut up now, in case he killed the vibe.
Max instantly looked at Jade pitifully as if wanting to object.
But when he saw her warning glare, he shut up.
Danika didn’t expect the flamboyant Max to be subdued after his marriage to Jade.
He was a family guy now, nothing like the arrogant bastard he was before.
It seemed that marriage could change people.It was a merry atmosphere in the restaurant.
After the meal, Eustace offered to take them to the bar for drinks.
His proposal had succeeded, after all, and in Eustace’s eyes, it was worth celebrating with everyone.
No one had any objections to that, and Danika didn’t refuse.
They went to the bar in high spirits.
However, there was one exception.
Paul followed them to the bar, but he didn’t smile at all.
He drank throughout the night with his head down.
Melanie wasn’t too happy, either.
She was not on close terms with either Eustace or Danika, and even when she knew that Stephanie and Leonard were also coming, she was still thick-skinned enough to come.
She didn’t want Paul to suffer alone.
Paul was sitting in a corner.
Melanie sat next to him, looking at him sadly.
“Don’t drink anymore.”
She tried to take the drink away from his hands but didn’t succeed.
“I know you’re miserable, but what’s the use in drinking? You’re just going to harm your body.”
She was anxious and frustrated, but there was nothing she could do.
Paul glanced at her and downed his glass.
“Why are you following me around? Why don’t you have fun with them?”
They should all be having fun.
“I’m not familiar with Eustace and Danika.I’m only here for you.”
Melanie didn’t disguise her affection for Paul.
Even her gaze was scorching.
When Paul met her gaze, it was as if he was burnt.He looked away hurriedly.
“For me? What a joke.”
“Why is it a joke? Can’t I have feelings for you?”
Melanie was not someone who beat around the bush.
From the day she started having feelings for Paul, she didn’t hold back her affection toward him.
Paul put down his glass, amused by her words.
“Feelings for me? Why? What do you know about me?”
“I don’t need a reason to like you.As for knowing you…”
She paused.
“You’re not even giving me a chance.How would I know you?”
“And you dare to say that you like me? Isn’t that just hilarious?”
Paul shook his head and held up his glass again, not planning on saying anything else to her.
Melanie was fast.She grabbed the glass.
“Who says I can’t like someone without knowing them first? If I like someone, I’ll like them no matter how they are.That’s why it’s not important that I understand you.”
Have You Agreed?
Melanie was straightforward.She said whatever she wanted.
Even before Paul, she didn’t have any intentions to lie or pretend.She didn’t care what sort of person Paul was.It was enough that she liked him.
Paul said nothing, merely snatching his glass back.
“Unfortunately, I don’t like you back.”
“Why not? Is it because I’m not as pretty as Stephanie? Or is it because you think I’m no match for her?”
Melanie couldn’t understand why Paul still hadn’t let go even though Stephanie and Leonard were already together.He had no hope at all.
Wasn’t he tired? Paul kept on drinking, sweeping his gaze over Stephanie and Leonard.
Stephanie was leaning against his shoulder.
Although Paul had verbally let her go, he couldn’t help feeling an ache in his heart when he saw her.
Melanie noticed his gaze and waved her hands in front of him.
“Stop looking.She won’t be yours no matter how long you look.”
That was exceptionally cruel.
Paul looked at her angrily.
“What I said is true, Paul.I like you very much and want you to move on.Isn’t finding a new girlfriend the best way to forget someone? I think you need someone new right now.”
Melanie didn’t want to miss a single chance to be with Paul.
If it weren’t for Eustace’s proposal, she might not even have been able to meet Paul today.
If she didn’t tell him everything she wanted to say, there was no telling when they would meet again.
Truth be told, this was the first time that Paul encountered a woman like her.
He didn’t quite know how to respond.
Usually, he would just ignore her and leave, as long as she no longer saw him again.
But now, he was here for Eustace and couldn’t very well leave.
He looked at her, irritated.
“I don’t need anyone new.Don’t waste your time on me.”
“You’re not even giving it a shot.How would you know that you don’t need one? Are you planning to hold on to Stephanie forever?”
Melanie was a little sarcastic.
“If that’s what you plan on doing, then it’s my fault for falling for the wrong guy.I don’t want to be with someone who refuses to move on.”
“Reverse psychology doesn’t work on me,”
Paul huffed.
He couldn’t care less about what Melanie said.
She pouted, continuing, “Just give me a chance, Paul.Stephanie has already moved on.What’s the use of holding on to the past?”
“Do you really want to be with me that badly? And would it really be alright with you if I didn’t love you?”
Melanie’s words had somewhat touched Paul.
It was true.
