Chapter 574 Won't Be a Bad Man
Isadora suddenly opened her eyes wide, watching helplessly as that handsome face got closer and closer, until it became blurry.
Then, her lips felt a soft touch.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively closed her eyes.
Ulysses only felt his heart beating so fast, it was almost about to jump out of his mouth.
Then, his mind went blank for a moment.
Isadora's lips were so soft.
The people around them were silent for a few seconds, then they started clapping and cheering.
The two who were hugging and kissing came back to their senses amidst the applause.
Isadora buried her face directly into Ulysses' chest.
And Ulysses hugged her tightly.
He looked over Isadora's head at the boy, "Do you believe it now?"
The boy said, "You two really... used me to test if you truly like each other?"
After saying that, he threw the flowers and left.
Isadora poked her head out from Ulysses' embrace, "Hey! Why are you throwing things around?"
The boy angrily came back, picked up the flowers, and threw them into the trash can.
Ulysses looked down at her, "Not shy anymore?"
Isadora puffed out her chest. "Who's shy?"
They were so close that her chest brushed against Ulysses.
Both of them froze, and then in the next second, they jumped back as if they had been electrocuted.
The onlookers gradually dispersed, and the main characters finally had a quiet moment to talk.
Isadora spoke first, "What do you mean by this? You kissed me, so you can't go back on it! You know my family is rich, I'll have someone break your legs!"
"A girl, talking so rudely?" Ulysses directly took her hand, "Do I have to take you home to meet my parents for you to believe me?"
Isadora immediately backed down, "No, no, it's not the right time yet."
Ulysses was silent for a few seconds, then said to her, "I'm sorry, Isadora, it was me... I didn't realize my own feelings. I might have liked you for a long time without knowing it."
Isadora waved her hand generously, "It's okay, it's okay, they say love is blind, as long as we have a happy ending, it's all good!"
Seeing her like this, Ulysses felt nothing but joy.
That feeling was something he had never experienced before.
And he finally understood what Nicole meant by enjoying the happiness of being in love.
Saying it out loud, especially speaking the truth, felt so comfortable.
No more awkwardness, no more deliberately ignoring his own feelings, it was like a cool breeze on a stifling summer day.
There was nothing more pleasant than this.
The two officially confirmed their relationship, and Isadora held Ulysses' hand and took a walk around their classroom that day.
At first, Ulysses didn't understand her intention, but when he saw Charlotte, he got it.
Isadora was showing off.
Although Charlotte didn't dare to offend her, seeing her so arrogant made her a little angry.
She muttered under her breath, "What's there to show off? Ulysses can't even afford one of your purses, right?"
She thought she was speaking quietly, but Isadora's sharp ears caught it, mainly because Isadora had been paying attention to her.
She walked over, "What did you say? I'm not looking for a boyfriend to buy me purses like you! What's so proud about having a boyfriend spend money on you? I'm different from you, I like to spend money on my boyfriend! I'll buy him a car, a house, and limited edition sneakers!"
Charlotte was furious, "That's your business, what's it got to do with me?"
"Exactly, my business has nothing to do with you!" Isadora retorted, "Whether he buys me a purse or not is none of your business!"
Charlotte stomped her foot in anger and ran out.
Isadora turned to look at Ulysses, who was smiling at her.
She asked, "Do you feel bad when I argue with her?"
Ulysses' smile widened.
"Does it have anything to do with me?" Ulysses said, "You're my girlfriend."
Isadora was satisfied, "Let's go buy those limited edition sneakers this afternoon!"
The boys around them looked at Ulysses with envy.
How did he deserve such a rich girlfriend?
Everyone knew Isadora was generous.
She had given expensive gifts to her roommates before, let alone her boyfriend.
Madeline was also there. She walked over and said, "Congratulations, you two are finally together."
Isadora knew she meant no harm, so her tone was much better, "Thank you. How about we have dinner together tonight, and you bring your boyfriend?"
Madeline said, "He's my fiancé now, we're engaged."
"Wow!" Isadora's eyes were full of envy, "Really! Congratulations!"
Ulysses also said, "Congratulations. Do your uncle and aunt know?"
"I sent them a message, and they invited us to dinner at their place this weekend. Do you want to come?"
Isadora looked at Ulysses curiously, "What's your relationship?"
Ulysses explained, "Her uncle's wife is good friends with my aunt."
"Oh, I see." Isadora nodded, "That's quite a close relationship."
Everyone laughed.
That evening, when Ulysses went to work, Isadora followed him.
But she didn't work; she just ordered something at the store and kept Ulysses company.
They didn't do anything, even just occasionally looking at each other felt sweet.
Nicole sent Ulysses a message, asking how things were going.
Ulysses took a moment to reply: [Grandma, we're together now.]
Nicole didn't hold back, she directly shared the good news in the family group chat.
Nicole: [Ulysses has a girlfriend!]
The group chat immediately became lively.
Stuart was the first to send some money.
Then he sent several fireworks emojis, which exploded in the group chat.
Josephine: [When will you show us your girlfriend?]
Kathy: [Congratulations!]
Even Jeffery sent a message: [Do I have a sister-in-law now?]
By the time Ulysses saw the messages in the group chat, there were already over a hundred.
He first sent a facepalm emoji.
It was his first day confirming his relationship with his girlfriend, but his family members were acting like he was getting married.
As soon as he appeared, the group chat, which had calmed down for a few minutes, became active again.
Ulysses first collected the money, then replied: [Don't overthink it, I'm just dating, I haven't thought about marriage yet.]
Gerald, who had just finished work, saw the message and replied: [Dating without the intention of marriage is just playing around. How did I raise such a playful son?]
Ulysses: [Grandma told me to enjoy the relationship!]
Nicole: [Enjoy the relationship, but don't be a bad man. No matter who you're dating, treat her as your future wife.]
Ulysses: [Got it, Grandma, I won't be a bad man.]
Ulysses felt he couldn't be a bad man.
Between him and Isadora, it was Isadora who seemed more like the one who could be a heartbreaker.
She sat there waiting for him, and when she saw a good-looking boy, she would smile at him.
Two people came up to chat with her, and she spoke to them nicely.
