Chapter 686 Are You Pursuing Me?

• George said helplessly, “Can’t you see I’ve quit the game?” Nydia let out a snort of laughter. “How can I? You always have so many tricks up your sleeve.” She believed it was a miracle that she was still alive. If she hadn’t lived in a law–based society, she would not doubt that George had gotten her killed. George took a slight breath, seemingly suppressing his rage. Nydia saw it and sneered. “You don’t have to do that. Whatever methods you use, I won’t give the relic to you, let alone be together with you. So, stop wasting your breath and our time. It won’t work.”
• Nydia was determined to not spare George a chance, George, however, refrained from leaving. Gazing at her, he said quietly, “Hear me out first.” Nydia said nothing with a frown. Seeing displeasure in her face, he added, “Believe it or not, I gotta say I’ve quit the relic. Since she left it to you, you can keep it forever. I just wanna tell you I want to be with you. Nydia Maguire, I really want to be with you!” He repeated the last sentence. Nydia was dumbfounded. George had never said that to her before. Even when he tried every means to get his mom’s relic, he never thought of getting it by being together with her. Nydia knew that he disdained her, for he had said many times that she was not feminine at all and no man was willing to marry her. But now, what was he doing? He said he wanted to be with her.
• Nydia looked at him incredibly and thought he was joking. It was not a good trick since it meant he had to s rifice his happiness. What if she did require him to marry her? Nydia couldn’t utter a word at that moment. Before she could think further, George added, “Nydia, I find that I’m in love with you.” Nydia suddenly felt like she was in a dream. Did she hear it wrong? She stared blankly at the man in front of him, unable to utter a word. George suddenly grabbed her hand, feeling the warmth of her soft hand. His eyes turned much gentler. “Nydia, be with me. I promise to give you a bright future. I once said no man was willing to marry you. That was because I can’t bear you being together with any other man. I should be the one that deserves to be with you. Nydia, could you be with me?” George’s voice was earnest. Nydia was dumbstruck and confused about what George was talking about. She parted her lips and didn’t know how to ask him. What if she hear it wrong? It would be embarrassing to ask the question out.
