Chapter 016: We Can't Go Back
'Kevin, this superficial guy, the more I look at him, the more disgusted I feel.' Ashley thought.
Not only didhe rely on a sugar mama for money, but he can't even win a fight!
What a loser!
"Boss, I will pay for everything that was damaged and the disruption on your business in this store today."
Jessica walked to the front desk and said with a smile to the store's Madam Boss.
Madam Boss was initially planning to call the police, but since someone was willing to compensate for the damages, there was no need to report it.
Jessica's gaze towards Charles seemed to show more and more appreciation.
A low-key and wealthy ultra-rich patronwas not only handsome but also skilled and full of a sense of justice.
Even though Lisa had repeatedly done bad to him, he harbored no resentment, instead, he help her to punish the douchebag!
What grace?
What charm?
Jessica: Favorability +10
Jessica: Favorability +10
Jessica: Favorability +10
Unknowingly, Jessica's favorability toward Charles had reached 40 points.
At 40 points, they could start developing a romantic relationship!
Charles didn't expect that by beating up Kevin, he could make Jessica's favorability towards him rise so quickly.
It made sense for Lisa's favorability to skyrocket since he helped her out.
But Jessica was just a bystander.
She also increased so much favorability
What a pleasant surprise!
It seemed that admiring strength is a natural trait among girls.
Almost all women hope their man is strong, graceful, and responsible.
"Sorry about today, this meal was..."
Charles walked up to Jessica, scratching his head apologetically.
"It's okay; I feel like I got to know a different side of you today. Every time I interact with you, I discover a new side of you!"
Jessica blinked her big eyes, carefully examining the boy in front of her.
'This guy really seems like a treasure!' She thought.
"What different sides? I've always been me," Charles shrugged.
"Actually, I didn't have much of an impression of you before. Until the last time you asked for my Facebook, and you spoke quite directly, I thought you were pretty sincere, not playing games with me. But who knew? You later sent so many gifts during my livestream, and you're so famous online. I realized you're not just wealthy; now you even fight so well. It's really surprising!"
Jessica's eyes were full of admiration.
Charles wasn't even in her consideration at first.
But now, Charles had become a top contender.
Among all the excellent guys she knew, Charles definitely ranked in the top three.
"Is that so? I've been following you for a long time. I thought our goddess was an elegant fairy, but who knew you have a heavy taste? Extra spicy, eating lobster without gloves, and even licking your fingers!"
"Do you have no emotional intelligence? How could you say that to a girl? So annoying!"
Jessica stomped her foot in a huff.
Quite cute!
Lisa watched Jessica and Charles flirt, feeling very uncomfortable inside.
Although Charles had just helped her out, he didn't comfort her like before, nor did he try to please her, but instead got more and more engrossed in talking with Jessica.
It was as if he had completely forgotten about her!
At this moment, Lisa suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Jessica, in terms of figure, appearance, and temperament, was no worse than her, perhaps even better.
Such a goddess-level figure showing extraordinary interest in Charles.
If Charles had a better prospect, would he still be devoted to her and take care of her meticulously?
Impossible!
'Why did I just realize how great Charles is, sincerely wanting to know him and love him, and he's already being taken away by another girl?
'No, it can't be like this!
'Charles is mine; Charles must be mine. No one can take him away!' This was probably Lisa's most genuine feeling at the moment.
People often don't cherish what they have!
And when they lose it, they always regret it!
"Charles, can I talk with you?"
Lisa walked over and interrupted Charles and Jessica's conversation.
"I don't think there's any need for that!"
"But I really have something to tell you. You used to never be so cold to me. No matter how many mistakes I made, you always forgave me. This time, I really know I was wrong. Can we go back to the way we were? You love me, right?"
Lisa asked pitifully with tear-filled eyes.
She hoped to get a positive answer from Charles.
"Go back to the way we were? Continue to be like a dog around you? Replying to my messages when you're happy; ignoring me when you're not. We've been together for a month, you wouldn't let me post our photos on Facebook, wouldn't let me hold your hand in public, saying it might look bad to your family?" Charles said.
He continued, "I don't believe you. I think you're afraid your backup boyfriends would all run away if they knew!"
"Three years, do you know what I've endured these three years? To make you happy, I did everything. Everything I did was a joke to you. You just enjoyed the process of me pursuing you; you never cared about me, Lisa. I'm telling you now, it's over. I don't love you anymore!"
Charles shouted!
He didn't pay any more attention to Lisa.
Instead, he turned to took Jessica's hand, leaving the lobster restaurant.
······
All the way, Jessica was being pulled by Charles.
She didn't know what to say!
Nor did she know if Charles was doing it intentionally or unintentionally.
Anyway, at the lobster restaurant, in front of Lisa, Jessica didn't resist being held by Charles.
Maybe it was to prevent him from being embarrassed.
Or some strange psychological factor worked.
Jessica just obediently let Charles hold her hand for a long distance.
"Actually, I don't know what to say. You must be feeling really bad, right? I've heard about your story with Lisa. I just can't understand, if you liked her so much, why didn't you straightforwardly tell her your identity? If she knew your real identity, she would've agreed to be with you long ago, right?"
"What identity?"
Charles was a bit confused.
He was just an ordinary kid from a regular family. What identity was there to boast about?
But soon, he figured it out.
Jessica probably thought he had an extraordinary identity because he spent millions on gifts during her live stream.
