For a moment, Maurice’s mind went blank.

He felt like there were countless fireworks lighting up in his heart, making the long silent night glow like a carnival.

“What do you mean?”

Eliana always surprised him, but it was the first time that Maurice was at a loss for words and did not know what to do. Shock, doubt, panic… Countless of such emotions filled up in his heart. Imperceptible sweetness was tugging at his complex mood.

“Pretend! Can you pretend to be my boyfriend?”

Eliana felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest when she realized that she completely forgot to mention the word “pretend”.

Upon hearing no reply from the other end, she felt a little disappointed.

Was he not going to agree?

“Why are you asking me?” Maurice asked in a calm voice, ignoring the feeling of disappointment in his heart.

“I just came back from abroad, and I don’t know a lot of guys here. You’re a gigolo, who is used to serving wealthy women, right? So I thought that your acting skills might be perfect for my needs. Besides, I still haven’t found the ring, so we can’t cut off ties just yet. Why don’t you just think of it as a favor and help me?”

Obviously, the main reason Eliana chose him was because she knew that he would not ask her for money, but she did not dare to mention that to him, knowing that it would infuriate him.

“What a ridiculous reason! You are so shameless!” Anger rose in Maurice’s heart and he couldn’t help but laugh.

“You’re no better. Actually, I learned to develop a thick skin by watching you,” Eliana retorted cheekily.
