Chapter 107 A Sudden Confession
She hoped he’d say no for her.
Yet Baird Lane gave her a grim look and didn’t say a word.
His behavior left Christine White feeling a little cold, and aggravated.
She let go of her hand that was tugging on his sleeve and smiled apologetically at Hugh Dong, her smile a little pale, “I’m sorry Mr. Dong, there’s no need to leave the contact information.”
“Why? Don’t you consider me a friend?” Hugh Dong spun his cell phone and pretended to look at her with disappointment.
Christine White pursed her lips, “That … we’ve only met twice, we’re not exactly friends.”
“But I already think of you as a friend, I don’t know why, but I have a crush on you Ms. White, and I wanted to make friends with you the first time we met, but unfortunately …” He ran his eyes over Baird Lane with deep interest.
Baird Lane’s face darkened to the breaking point as he read the meaning in his eyes.
This man, who really did have that kind of mind for Christine White, actually blamed him for stealing her!
“Christine White, you are so good!” Baird Lane looked at Christine White coldly.
He couldn’t have imagined that such a plain and unassuming woman could be so attractive to men.
First they attracted Ives Norton and now Hugh Dong!
Christine White was puzzled by Baird Lane’s remark and frowned with confusion, “Baird, what are you talking about?”
“You know exactly what I’m talking about!” Baird Lane sneered.
Christine White bit her lip, “I know in my heart? You don’t even make your words clear, what exactly should I be clear about?”
“Puff!” Hugh Dong didn’t hold back his laughter.
Christine White and Baird Lane looked at him together.
He coughed lightly twice, “I’m sorry, I’m really amused by what you said President Lane, and really, not to mention that Ms. White didn’t understand what you meant by that statement, I didn’t get it either, so I really don’t blame Ms. White.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Baird Lane sneers, “You’re really helping her out!”
“No no no!” Hugh Dong put up a finger and waved it, “I’m not speaking in favor of Ms. White, but I’m speaking the truth, after all, President Lane’s realm is so high that ordinary people can’t understand what you’re saying, right Ms. White?”
Christine White’s lips twitched and she didn’t answer.
She actually agreed with Hugh Dong.
Every time Baird Lane says something, it’s all over the place, never clear, saying half and leaving the other half for her to guess.
She’s heartbroken, too!
At that thought, she took a deep breath, “Excuse me, I’m going to the restroom.”
She got up and left the compartment, heading for the restroom.
In the restroom, Christine White stood at the sink and caught a handful of cold water and splashed it on her face to calm herself.
Seriously, she didn’t quite understand what Hugh Dong was trying to do with his behavior today, hounding her for contact information all the time, or making sure to get her phone number in the presence of Baird Lane, who she explicitly refused to be private about either.
What hurts her the most is still Baird Lane’s approach, she is being pushed so hard by Hugh Dong, he actually doesn’t even help her, and says things that she can’t understand to taunt her.
She still doesn’t know what she did wrong!
Christine White caught another handful of cold water, as icy cold as her insides were at the moment.
She sniffled and looked at her fresh-faced self in the mirror with a bitter laugh, “Heh …”
She didn’t think Hugh Dong was asking for her contact information because he was attracted to her. She had been married into The Lane Family for three years, and she had no other skills, but her eyes had widened quite a bit, and Hugh Dong, who appeared to be affectionate but was actually heartless, simply couldn’t look at a plain, ordinary woman like her.
Instead, he made sure to ask for her number, and she couldn’t help but wonder if he was up to something.
Thinking about this, Christine White pulled a hand towel from a nearby cardboard box, dried her hands, and prepared to go back to the box to tell Baird Lane about this suspicion that had occurred to her.
But as soon as she stepped out of the restroom, a figure suddenly rushed over and pinned her against the wall.
An intoxicating scent of men’s perfume came to her nose, Christine White felt her brain a little dizzy and her little face turned red, “Mr. Dong, what are you doing?”
“Ms. White guess!” Hugh Dong teased.
Christine White was getting a little angry, “I can’t guess and I don’t want to guess, please Mr. Dong let go of me, your behavior is rude!”
She reached out and pushed Hugh Dong, trying to push him away.
But she didn’t have enough strength, not only did she not push Hugh Dong away, but instead Hugh Dong grabbed her wrists and lifted her hands above her head to hold them down.
Such an intimate move made Christine White first froze, and then became annoyed, “Mr. Dong, do you know that you are slighting me?”
She stared at Hugh Dong with two exasperated eyes, as if trying to force him back with her eyes.
Unbeknownst to her, this is of no use at all, and her puffed up look is not only not threatening in Hugh Dong’s eyes, but also a bit cute.
“I know.” Hugh Dong let out a low laugh.
Christine White exploded with anger, “You know that and you won’t let go?”
It was a shame that she thought this man was a good man who had helped her get her bag back in the first place and was a good man who had seen the light.
I didn’t realize that it was a denizen with a bad heart!
“Let go of you can!” Hugh Dong let go of Christine White’s hand, then ruffled a strand of hair from her ear and played with it, “Give me your phone number and I’ll let you go!”
“Why do you have to have my phone?” Christine White pulled back her hair to stare at her intently.
Hugh Dong hooked his lips, “I’ve already said it just now in the box, because I’ve cast my lot with Ms. White.”
“Hmph, I don’t believe it.” Christine White sneered.
She sneered in a way that was almost identical to Baird Lane, and had obviously learned it from him.
Hugh Dong’s eyes darkened, but in an instant, they turned into a deep look of love, “Well, I admit that I didn’t tell the truth all the way through, but what I said was also true, I did want your phone number because I felt a connection with you, Ms. White, but the connection I’m talking about isn’t the same as that connection …”
“What do you mean?” Looking into his eyes, Christine White was inexplicably tense.
Hugh Dong gave a low chuckle, “Of course it’s because I fell in love with you at first sight, Ms. White!”
“You …” Christine White looked at him with shock on her face for a long time.
Hugh Dong came up to her, “Christine, I’m telling the truth, I know it’s hard for you to believe, but it’s the truth, I like you!”
The corners of Christine White’s mouth twitched a few times, not only shocked by his sudden confession, but also frightened, “I’m sorry Mr. Dong, I … I think you must be drunk.”
“I’m not drunk, Christine, I mean it!” Hugh Dong looked into Christine White’s eyes with deep love written in them.
Christine White straight away don’t look away, “Still sorry Mr. Dong, I really can’t accept this news, you … You scared me, and I can’t figure out what it is about me that you like.”
It’s not that she demeans herself, but she’s self-aware.
She’d actually always known that good men only liked equally good women, just like Baird Lane.
So she really can’t believe Hugh Dong would like her!
“It’s normal that I can’t figure it out, because I can’t figure it out either.” Hugh Dong dropped those beautiful eyes sadly, “I liked Ms. White just that instant, so fast that I didn’t react myself, and when I did, I realized it was too late, you were already married to President Lane.”
Christine White suddenly froze.
His words certainly spoke to her heart.
It’s true that liking someone can be a momentary thing, as she did with Baird Lane.
She likes Baird Lane, it’s just a mistake at first sight, and by the time she reacts, it’s too late, she’s already deeply in love with him.
“Why did you confess to me when you knew I was married to Baird?” Christine White pursed her lips.
