Chapter 161
After exiting the airport security check, I saw Matthew standing at the guardrail outside, waving at me excitedly. “Lulu, this way!”
Felix and Lilac took the taxi back to the university while Matthew took me to
a restaurant for a meal.
Although Lilac tried every means to express her wish to follow us, Matthew pretended not to hear and silently refused. Felix soon pulled her away with
embarrassment.
It would be difficult for him to avoid embarrassment seeing as he had such a shameless girlfriend.
As soon as I entered the private room, Matthew hugged me from behind and held me tightly.
His unfamiliar breath startled me. I struggled instinctively.
However, he held me so tightly that I couldn’t break free from him. I gradually started panicking. He buried his head in my neck, his breaths making my skin itch.
“I missed you so much! I almost went crazy! Lulu, how long more do I have to wait? I’m having a hard time. Do you need such a long time to consider being my girlfriend?”
He spoke in a low voice, and his words felt as hot as fire.
He held me so tightly that I couldn’t move. His body was right behind me. I was so scared that I wanted to leave him quickly.
There were only the two of us in the private room. If he… I wasn’t doubting his character; I was just afraid.
I was still somewhat unfamiliar with him, and I hadn’t mentally prepared myself. That made it impossible for me to accept his intimate behavior right
now.
My parents had been strict when they were educating me, so I was very conservative when it came to relationship matters. I wouldn’t hand myself over until I was deeply in love and was sure I would have no regrets.
As for Matthew, I was determined to let things develop further between us. It was just that we hadn’t gotten together yet, so it was impossible to let things go further.
I wasn’t such a casual girl.
“Matthew, don’t be like this. Let’s talk it out.”
I comforted him with a trembling voice. My emotions were still gripped by
fear.
“No, Lulu. Please say yes. Be my girlfriend. I’ll be sure to treat you well.”
His body grew hotter.
“Matthew, give me a little more time.”
“Lulu, tell me, what’s making you hesitate? I can fix whatever it is.”
Matthew’s voice became hoarse, and he kept pleading. He didn’t understand that my hesitation was never about him but the gap between us.
Our classes made us come from different worlds. The gap between us was too big.
He said he would treat me well based on his courage and feelings for me. But if he had to face pressure from his family, would he choose me without hesitation between status and love?
“Matthew, don’t be like this. I’m scared.”
I was really scared. Matthew paused, and his arms relaxed a little.
I struggled hard to get away, but he tightened his grip on me again. “Don’t move. Just let me hold you for a while.”
After about ten minutes, he gradually relaxed and loosened his arms. I immediately took several steps back, staying as far away from him as
possible.
He sat down with a wry smile while adjusting his tie. “Lulu, I’m so afraid that no matter how hard I try, I won’t be able to win your heart.”
After the last confrontation, Helen no longer treated me with sarcasm and ridicule. She had become much friendlier. She would even chat with me NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
sometimes.
Apart from the matter with Matthew, we had complementary personalities and had the potential to become good friends.
