Chapter 11
I couldn’t figure it out. After all, I hadn’t had much interaction with him in the past.
He pondered for a moment and said, “Liking is just liking, why do we need so many reasons? Maybe it’s because you look so beautiful when you smile. Whenever you smile, I feel like the whole world
brightens up.”
I felt a stir in my heart and couldn’t help but curl my lips slightly, “Is it really that exaggerated?”
He also laughed, “Not at all exaggerated.”
When I got home, I put the necklace that Alan gave me in the jewelry cabinet.
Before lying down, I received a “goodnight” message from him.
I replied, “Hmm, goodnight.”
Two days later, he brought several pairs of shoes. “I heard that this brand of shoes doesn’t hurt your feet, give them a try,” he said.
I was taken aback by how thoughtful he was. I was stunned for a few seconds, then came back to my senses and jokingly asked, “Which girlfriend are you asking about?”
He helplessly rubbed his forehead and said, “Here you come again, Noemi. Tell me the truth, are you deliberately trying to annoy me?”
I have met Alan’s sister before, and she was very beautiful, elegant, and had a graceful and refined
demeanor.
During the half month when Antoine was not around, I wandered around with Alan.
Rarely do I have such enjoyable moments, and I cherish every precious minute and second.
He always told a lot of jokes to make me laugh. Sometimes I deliberately suppressed my laughter, and said, “Your jokes are too lame.”
He flipped through his phone in confusion, “How is this possible? The love manual clearly stated
that these jokes are effective.”
Goodness, who would come and save him?
Was this still Mr. Watts, who used to be decisive and resolute in the marketplace?
He had to even flip through the love manual..
Acting childish like a little kid!
If this were to be spread, it would probably make people laugh their teeth off.
I couldn’t bear it anymore and burst into laughter.
He immediately put away his phone and looked at me triumphantly, saying, “Just smile!”
Well..
It was all a trick!
On the weekend, we came out of the restaurant, and it was just getting dark.
I asked him if he could accompany me to ride the Ferris wheel, and he chuckled, “Indeed, you are still a little girl.”
The Ferris wheel came to a stop at the very top, and I glanced down, feeling instantly dizzy in my head. I shook my hand and grabbed onto his sleeve.
He realized my abnormality and quickly supported me, saying, “Why didn’t you tell me about your fear of heights earlier?”
I shook my head and said, “I’m fine, don’t worry about me.”
After a pause, he continued, “I heard that if you make a wish when the Ferris wheel reaches its
peak, that wish will definitely come true.”
Alan raised an eyebrow, “Do you believe this?”
I smiled awkwardly and asked, “Do you think I’m childish?”
He looked at me affectionately, his pitch–black pupils shining with specks of starlight, “No, since you believe, then I believe too.”
He clasped his hands together and prayed devoutly, “I hope all of Noemi’s wishes can come true, and I hope Dawson wakes up soon.”
He actually knew what I was thinking.
My heart stirred, and tears welled up in my eyes.
Alan’s eyes darkened as he reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of my eyes. He said with a tender voice, “Don’t cry. Will you let me accompany you in the future?”
He slowly approached me, his scorching breath hitting my cheeks, and my heart pounded like thunder, almost uncontrollable.
As his lips were about to touch mine, I nervously turned my head away and avoided it.
an pulled down the corners of his lips in disappointment and said, “I’m sorry, I went too far.”
I pursed my lips and said, “It’s okay, let’s go back.”

I think the heartbeat just now was love.
How could it be possible not to like it?
He was considerate and had a subtle sense of humor.
Every time he looked at me, he was focused and affectionate, with love almost overflowing from his
eyes.
He always took care of my mood, afraid that I would be even slightly unhappy.
He remembered all my preferences and tastes, he always wanted to give me the best of everything.
How could I not like him?
Because I liked him, I didn’t want to burden him even more.
I didn’t want Alan to suffer even the slightest harm, knowing how obsessive and ruthless Antoine
was.
