All Too Late

Chapter 394 Someone Is Angry 

Ryder laughed out of exasperation. “Since you’re saying that the future is uncertain, why are you rejecting me so quickly?” Kathleen replied helplessly,“That's because I know I won't fall for you.Besides, I don't want you to waste your time because of me.You’re already thirty-five years old, aren’t you?” He laughed.

“Haha.Am I that old?” Kathleen flushed. He looked at her.

“Samuel’s thirty-three.We're only two years apart.” She couldn't help but scoff, “You sound like you want to get together with him.” He looked at her thoughtfully.

“Kathleen, you can turn me down, but I have the right to continue liking you.” She was speechless. He said softly, “I don’t think it’s painful to wait for someone.I knew you since I was twenty-two.Although my confession this time has failed, I won't give up.” 

“You…” She didn’t know what to say anymore. Could it be that my rejection wasn’t straightforward enough? She had no other choice.

“Suit yourself. It’s your business, anyway.” Ryder let out a deep laugh.

“You’re right.This is my business.” She had no choice but to say righteously, “Nonetheless, I hope you won’t affect my life.” He smiled plainly.

“You don't look stern at all, although I can see that you’re trying to.On the contrary, you look adorable.” Exasperation was written all over her face.

“Is that so? A lot of people are afraid of me in the past, though.”

 “How can someone who likes you be afraid of you? In the eyes of someone who likes you, you're adorable,” he replied with a half-smile. She pursed her lips.

“I'll do my best to be more strict next time.” He laughed.

“Toward me?” She nodded fervently. Ryder narrowed his eyes at her.

“You may not know this, but I like girls who can be both adorable and fierce.” His kind smile under the gentle moonlight did not look like he was joking at all. She blushed. He smiled and hugged her suddenly as he whispered next to her ear, “Good night.I don’t regret confessing my feelings to you.Even if you fall in love with someone else and get married to him one day, I won’t have any regrets.I know that feelings can't be forced, but at least I’ve tried.”
