After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress (Sylvia and Cyril)

Chapter 238: Confession

They grew up together, so every expression of the female lead revealed what she was thinking. His actions today were indeed wrong. He knew that the female lead hated this kind of situation the most, but he still did it. Now he regretted it deeply. If he had known, he wouldn't have put himself on the same level as Miles.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do this today. I just didn't expect Miles to show up here. I lost control a bit. I see you haven't eaten, so let's change places. You have work in the afternoon, you can't go hungry."

Duncan was really anxious. He urgently wanted to explain to the female lead, but she was already too lazy to listen.

Today's lunch was indeed not entirely Duncan's fault, but the female lead didn't expect it to turn out like this. She was indeed a bit of a headache, but more than that, she felt helpless.

"I didn't know he would be here for lunch today. If I had known he would be here, I wouldn't have asked you to come with me. I don't know why you have such a prejudice against him, but I always feel that as friends, we shouldn't care too much about these things. Besides, children don't have any malicious intent. I don't understand why you did this today."

The female lead looked at Duncan seriously, but Duncan felt a bit sad inside. Did she really not understand, or did she just not want to understand?

"I may not understand, but you clearly understand what I mean. We grew up together, but I never just wanted to be friends with you. I've liked you for years, and everyone can see that, except you."

He blurted out these words, though they shouldn't have been said at this moment. He had been waiting by the female lead's side for so many years, but now that she was finally divorced, didn't he have a chance?

Why could Miles have this chance, but he couldn't? Just because they grew up together? If that was the case, he would rather not have grown up with her.

"I know you just don't want our relationship to become awkward, but you have to give me a chance. Just because we grew up together doesn't mean you can cut off my chance. My sister is on your side, everyone is on your side, but why isn't anyone on my side? Is my love for you really that unacceptable?"

The female lead felt a bit embarrassed. She didn't expect Duncan to confess at this moment, and she didn't know how to respond. She suddenly felt at a loss.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

"I don't mean that. I never thought about it like that before. I just saw you as my friend. My relationship with Miranda is very good, and

you're her brother, so in my eyes

you're like my brother too. I don't

have any other thoughts about you, and I haven't given Miles any chance either. I don't want to give any of you a chance. I just want to focus on my career."

She spoke very seriously, but deep down, she knew that her attitude towards Miles and Duncan was completely different. Duncan was a childhood friend, and if things didn't work out between them, it would be very awkward for everyone else, possibly even breaking up their social circle.

As for Miles, they didn't have much contact, so it would be easier to get along with him.

Duncan forced a bitter smile, but he was still very persistent in waiting for an answer. "Then why can't that person be me?"

The female lead remained silent for a while before replying, "You know in your heart that if you said you liked me and wanted to be together, I would definitely refuse without hesitation. And what consequences would that refusal bring, you can imagine, just as I do. That's why I don't want it to happen."

"I treasure this relationship enough that I don't want it to sour."

The female lead looked at Duncan earnestly. She had never said these things to Duncan before because she felt he didn't need to know. She thought he could understand her without her having to explain. She never expected Duncan to suddenly say these things today. He was probably just being impulsive, but this impulse seemed irreversible now.

"Anyway, I hope that the next time we meet, we won't be so awkward. But I think it will be a long time before we see each other again. That's why I didn't want to think about anything at this moment."

Some things shouldn't have been said, and now that they were, it only made both parties feel awkward.

If they didn't want things to be awkward, it would be best to pretend they didn't know anything, just like before. But how long would it take for them to break free from this cycle? The female lead couldn't imagine, and Duncan probably had no idea either.

Now Duncan really couldn't say

anything. He had indeed been impulsive. Saying these things at this moment, he knew the female lead would reject him, but he

still

et

said it without hesitation. Now that the female lead had rejected him, he felt even more upset. But amidst the sadness, there was an inexplicable sense of relief.

"I understand. I won't appear in front of you for the next period of time. I'll seriously consider our relationship, but if after careful consideration, I still want to be with you, I hope you can give me a chance. Please don't see me as just a friend from childhood, but as someone who's pursuing you."
