Chapter 316 Can you give me some closure?
Upon hearing this, Evelyn became extremely nervous, as if she knew what Dermot was going to say. Her palms began to sweat uncontrollably.
"Dermot..."
"Evey, let me speak." This time, Dermot interrupted her.
Evelyn pursed her lips and remained silent, only to hear the man in front of her say, "Evey, sometimes I wonder whether the bond between us is real or not."
"But I haven't been able to find an answer."
He chuckled lightly, as if laughing at himself. "Then I realized, does this answer really matter?"
He shook his head. "I don't think it does. What matters is the present, and I really like you, a lot."
"I am certain that you are the person I've been looking for, so even if you initially disliked me, I persisted in appearing before you because I knew that if I missed you again, I might never meet someone I genuinely liked in this lifetime."
Dermot continued to speak, but Evelyn was no longer focused on listening.
She already knew what would happen next, but she still hadn't made up her mind about whether she should accept.
Could she really start again with Dermot?
Could she still trust a man who had once overlooked and given her a failed marriage?
Evelyn was unsure. She even wished that Dermot would stop there and not say those words, giving her more time.
But Dermot didn't stop. He felt that the time had come.
"Evey, can you give me another chance, starting from being your boyfriend?" He didn't directly ask to remarry, as he knew it would be too sudden and Evelyn wouldn't agree.
Besides, he wanted everything to progress slowly, starting from being boyfriend and girlfriend.
Looking up, Dermot gazed affectionately at her, causing Evelyn's palms to sweat uncontrollably. "Do I have to answer today?"
"Evey, don't overthink it. Just follow your heart, okay?" Dermot was very anxious, fearing that Evelyn would reject him.
If he were rejected this time, he didn't know when he would have the courage to try again.
Evelyn bit her lip and looked around, only to find that the lights had dimmed without her notice and the surroundings were filled with roses, indicating that this had been prepared in advance.
Evelyn pointed to the roses in the entire restaurant and asked with a smile, "How long have you been preparing for this?"
"Since the last car accident," Dermot answered, feeling a little embarrassed. "It was Todd's idea. I have no experience in these matters."
Unable to hold back her laughter, Evelyn thought, who would have thought that this was the supposedly unattainable Mr. Doyle? At this moment, he seemed as nervous as a child.
"You, the one confessing, let him come up with the plan for you?" Evelyn couldn't help but laugh a little.
Upon hearing this, Dermot quickly explained, "I really didn't know what to do, so I had him come up with a few ideas and I picked one from them."
He chose this one because he thought it was more quiet and suited Evelyn's personality.
"If there's anything you're dissatisfied with, you can tell me and I can make adjustments," he was very nervous. If Evelyn rejected him because she thought he wasn't sincere enough due to these preparations, Dermot felt like he would be unjustly accused.
Evelyn could see his anxiety and couldn't help but laugh.
Dermot froze, but quickly regained his seriousness. "Ms. Kyte, could you please be serious? I'm in the middle of confessing."
"Oh," Evelyn responded, forcing herself not to laugh.
"Oh?" Dermot said helplessly, "So, can you give me a straightforward answer?"
He was truly in a hurry.
Evelyn propped her chin up with one hand, and as she looked at Dermot's anxious state, she found it quite amusing. "If I reject you, what will you do?"
