Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 295 Agreeing To Be His Girlfriend

“M-Mr. Hisson, it’s late, so I need to go.” Her heart was beating so fast that all she wanted was to flee the scene.

Derrick grabbed her wrist and pinned her to the wall in an imposing manner. His face inched nearer to hers as he asked softly, “Tell me. Don’t you like me at all?”

Upon meeting Derrick’s mesmerizing eyes, Tiffany felt her throat go dry. She swallowed subconsciously.

Pleased by her reaction, Derrick ran his right thumb across her cheek tenderly. “You do like me, huh? Why won’t you accept me, then? You promised to give me a chance, but you keep going back on your word. I don’t trust you at all. That’s why you won’t get to leave this city. What if you disappear into thin air? I won’t take that risk unless you agree to my condition.”

Tiffany blinked at him in confusion.

“I’ll let you leave if you agree to be my girlfriend,” Derrick stated his condition. Like a sly fox, he had everything under his control. He was determined to make Tiffany his, and she would be his wife. After spending three years to court Tiffany, there was no way he’d let her leave this easily.

Tiffany blinked again, for she couldn’t catch up to him.

“Be my girlfriend, and I’ll help you keep your secret,” Derrick announced with a playful smirk.

“What do you know?” Tiffany glanced at him warily.

“I know everything about you. You are leaving this city out of a sudden because of Amelia Winters. I heard her divorce with Oscar Clinton had been finalized,” Derrick revealed confidently.

Tiffany’s expression changed drastically as hostility flashed across her gaze. Her initial shyness was long gone.

“Mr. Hisson, what do you want? If you dare lay a hand on Amelia, I’ll make sure you pay for your actions!” she hissed.

Derrick chuckled. Ruffling her fringe, he remarked, “Tiff, don’t you realize you care for Amelia more than you care for me? If I weren’t sure about your sex, I would’ve thought that you’re madly in love with Amelia.”

Tiffany froze in an awkward manner.

She shot him an indignant look and declared, “Nonsense! Amelia and I are innocent. We’re merely friends!”

Derrick guffawed out loud as his mood further improved.
