Chapter 505 Who Said We Were Lovers

At this point, Elise gave Kenneth a detached, apathetic look. “There’s one thing I want you to be clear about, Kenneth Bailey. You’re not the only person who would die for me. If you did those things for me to pay you back equally, then you’ve miscalculated. From the very beginning, you’ve already miscalculated. I never asked you to do those things for me. I don’t need you to, nor do I wish for us to have such a reciprocal relationship.”

The crowd nearby snickered. “Wow, looks like there are times when even handsome men can’t get the woman whom they love.”

“Hey, you might be handsome, but you’re old. Perhaps you shouldn’t covet the young ladies anymore?”

“Oh, hold your tongue. Men always like the young ones.”

“If you ask me, courting women in public seems a bit like emotional blackmail.”

“That depends on how handsome you are…”

The comments went on and on, turning this bout of public courtship into a joke.

In the beginning, Kenneth only kept his eyes on Elise, staring at her as piously as a monk and seemingly waiting for her to change her mind.

However, as he realized that she showed no signs of softening, his gaze turned cold and he turned his head to glance mildly at the onlooking crowd. Instantly, their laughter came to a halt.

The man in front tightly pursed his lips and offered a fake smile as he turned into a tortoise hiding in its shell who lacked the courage to move.

The world was full of narcissists like these who would watch the world burn only to then act like they were on a high horse and had nothing to do with the trouble once it truly started.

It wasn’t until no one dared to laugh any longer that Kenneth turned back to glance incomprehensibly at Elise, toss the imperial jade to Tom, and walk away.

As Elise breathed a sigh of relief, she gave Tom a look. “You can send Miss Melody back in a bit and have her take the jade with her.”
