Chapter 316 Admit That She Likes Him
Winston asked the question and waited for her answer quietly.
He did so much just to hear the answer.
He was waiting for her to admit that she liked him.
Because he also liked her.
He didn't want her to continue avoiding him or refuse to accept him.
But Aracely did not give the answer he wanted. "No."
She denied it, but Winston did not feel disappointed.
"Then why did you pretend to be injured and get me here? You don't want me to be with Reina," he said calmly,
with no emotions in his dark eyes.
This time, he didn't ask her but was sure about what he said.
Winston's affirmative tone panicked Aracely slightly. In fact, she agreed to Yarden to lie to Winston for her own
sake.
She did not want him to stay with Reina at home. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
She wanted to separate Winston from Reina, but she knew very well that he liked Reina, so she should stop
pestering him.
Emotionally, she was desperate to own him.
But rationally, she hoped that he could follow his heart and be with the person he liked instead of forcing him to
stay by her side with the excuse of responsibility.
Ever since Winston and Reina started dating, Aracely had always been tortured by conflicting thoughts and
couldn't sleep at all.
She clenched her fists tightly and was silent for a few seconds. In the end, she decided to be rational.
She considered herself a petty and selfish woman and would not allow the man she liked to think about someone
else.
Since she couldn't have him accompany and love her, she decided to give him up.
Thinking of this, she became clear-headed and showed a tougher attitude. "That's ridiculous!"
He approached her and reached out to take her face in his hands. "Aracely, you like me."
Aracely felt her face burning and subconsciously wanted to step back.
But behind her was the window sill, and she couldn't move at all.
She slapped his hands away and looked indifferent. "Winston, don't flatter yourself. When did I say that I like you?
"We indeed had sex before, but that's either because you forced me to do it or because I was drunk.
"In order to avoid you, I moved out of my house and went on a blind date with other men. How could you tell that I like you?
"I have been avoiding you, and almost everyone can tell that I am disgusted with you!"
After she finished speaking, Winston's face darkened.
He knew that she had deliberately said those words to make him leave her, and she didn't really mean that.
But he could not help feeling sad.
"Aracely, why are you so aloof to me?" he lowered his voice with his head down like a defeated wolf.
"Is that because I just lodged at your house with no power? I've been developing my own company. If you think I am not outstanding enough to be independent, I can be completely independent of the Tarleton family so that you can rely on me."
"No," Aracely said, feeling upset when seeing that he was depressed.
"Then what's the reason? Because I hurt you the first time that we
had sex?" Winston recalled all the mistakes he had made.
"Because I was ten minutes late when I went to pick you up on a rainy day?
"I failed to come back to celebrate with you on the day you graduated?
"Or I bought you clothes twice the wrong size, and you think I don't care about you?"
He said all the things she was dissatisfied with in the past few years one by one.
Aracely had forgotten most of them, but he remembered them clearly.
He moved into the Tarleton's house at the age of 16 and took care of Aracely for eight years.
He remembered everything about her, including what she liked or not.
He had loved her for eight years, and she used to be very close to him.
He could not understand why she would be so cold to him now.
She did not care about his family background or how powerful he was. He thought they should have been very close.
Aracely heard him talk about the past which she had forgotten and got teary eyes.
She lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
She was afraid that if she continued to look at him, she would be irrational.
"I've told you I don't like you. There is no reason!
"Reina is perfect for you. You don't have to be responsible for me."
Her voice was not loud, but Winston fell silent after hearing her words.
After a long silence, he took a step back and distanced himself from her. "Sorry for being rude."
"That's okay," Aracely said as she grabbed the hem of her clothes.
"Since you're fine, I will go back first."
"Okay..."
Seeing her still with her head down, Winston pretended to say unconcernedly, "I have discussed with Reina about our engagement, so I may be busy in the next few days. If you have enough fun here, come back early. I might not have time to pick you up."
He was about to turn to leave when Aracely stretched out her hand to grab his wrist. She asked in a hoarse voice, "What did you say?" Winston didn't look back. "I said I'm going to get engaged to Reina."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"When did you fix the date?"
"The day before yesterday."
Aracely opened her mouth again, wanting to ask about something else.
But her mind was a mess, and she did not know what to say.
"Let go of me. I should go back." Winston tried to shake her hand off.
He deliberately added, as if he did not notice Aracely's feelings, "Reina is waiting for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the tightened grip on his wrist.
Aracely was silent for a long time.
He turned around and said, "Aracely..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt her warm and soft lips.
Winston stiffened in shock with a blank mind.
He tasted her tears and reacted in the meantime.
Aracely was crying.
When he realized this, he felt heartbroken and couldn't even breathe.
He put his hands on her shoulders and pushed her away. "You..."
Before he could finish, Aracely put her hands around his neck and kissed him again.
It was a rough kiss, and it hurt a little when they knocked teeth.
She bit aggressively with no skills, not knowing the right way to kiss.
Winston was tempted and finally lost his patience. He held her waist and ran his slender fingers through her hair.
He held the back of her head in his hands and kissed her back affectionately.
He parted her lips and stuck his tongue in her mouth. Aracely did not expect this and unconsciously held her
breath.
Just as she was about to lose her breath, Winston released her. She breathed heavily and regained
consciousness with oxygen. Winston stared at her with deep eyes.
"You've just asked me to keep my distance from you. Then what are you doing now?" he asked, raising his hand to
wipe away the tears on her face.
