Chapter 338 Every Girl in the World Is Precious
George was annoyed by Penny’s constant pestering. “I’m not your friend and I’m not your family member. What right do you have to send me off?”
After being roared at by George, Penny lost her temper and bit her lower lip hard as she explained timidly, “I-I treat you as my friend.”
Hearing this, George looked at her and said icily, “We’re not friends!” His cold gaze was like sharp knives that pierced through Penny’s heart. She instantly felt aggrieved so she yelled, “What’s the matter with you?! All I want is to send you off. Why do you have to roar at me?” After she finished speaking, she squatted on the ground and burst into tears.
All my life, I’ve been a lady from a wealthy family. I grew up being praised by my teachers and parents! I’m beautiful and capable. No matter where I go, I do as I please and nobody would dare to talk back at me, let alone scold me so fiercely. I just like him and want to send him off.
George took a deep breath and suddenly could understand Olivia’s feelings. Receiving concern from people you don’t like is redundant. Take Penny for example. Even though I didn’t tell her which flight I’m taking, she still figured it out using other means and even woke up really early to send me off. How can I not know her feelings? To say that I didn’t notice her feelings at all is nonsense. However, I can’t give her what she wants so I can only pretend to not know, just like what Olivia did to me. All of a sudden, George became soft-hearted. He stopped in his tracks, walked over, and helped Penny off the ground.
“Don’t send me off. Girls should be proud and not put in effort on those who are not worthy.” Penny got up and suddenly pounced at him. Wrapping her arms around his waist, she cried aggrievedly, “George, I like you. Don’t leave, okay?”
George frowned slightly and immediately pushed her away. Then, in a resolute tone, he said, “I don’t like you!”
Hearing this, Penny wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and said, “I know that you don’t like me but I can wait for you. I can wait for you to like me.”
George took a step back and yelled, “Don’t waste your time on me! I already have someone I like. I will never like you!”
Penny looked up and with her teary eyes, she looked at him blankly and asked, “Who is it?”
“You don’t know her,” George said as he turned to leave. Penny hurriedly asked, “Is she the reason you’re in a hurry to head back to Mastar?”
After George heard this, he secretly let out a sigh and thought, On the contrary, the one I love is getting further and further away from me. My departure this time can be considered as an escape. I don’t dare to stay here another second because I’m afraid to see something that I don’t want to see. I’m also scared that Olivia will say cruel things to me so I’d rather deceive myself and head back to Mastar. That way, I can just imagine that Olivia is just living in a place a little far away from me!
“You can say that!” He answered vaguely. Penny quickly took a few steps forward and stood in front of him. “W-Wait!”
George frowned and looked at her. “What else do you want to say?”
For some reason, Penny felt nervous and she fidgeted. After a long pause, she slowly muttered, “I… I know that I’m not perfect. Don’t think that I’m very unreserved. Indeed, I am a little arrogant and domineering, and I have a bad temper, but I’ve never told any other man that I liked him and I’ve never had feelings for anyone before. I fell in love with you at first sight. I know that you have someone that you like and I’m not asking you to like me, a person whom you have only met three times. It’s just… Oh, I don’t know how to say it. Anyways, I will wait for you!”
George felt a little speechless. Why can’t she understand what I mean? Didn’t I just say that I like someone else? He took a deep breath and earnestly said, “I already told you that you won’t get what you want no matter how long you wait. Every girl in the world is precious. No one is worth suffering over, understand?”
Penny looked at him with a serious expression. “However, there aren’t many men in this world who know that all girls are precious. In fact, most of them are scumbags. George, I won’t force you to like me so don’t stop me from liking you!”
