Chapter 671
Celeste’s face turned beet red as she shoved his hand away. “Did I ever say I was okay with this, Liam? Do you even realize what you’re doing? You’re being a total pest!”
Liam’s eyelashes fluttered slightly.
Just when Celeste thought his ego had taken a hit and he was about to leave, Liam whispered in her ear in a low voice, “You liar
Celeste looked at him, puzzled What did I lie about?”
His eyes were filled with anger. “You really don’t remember anything, do you?”
Celeste scrunched her eyebrows Remember what?”
What was this cryptic conversation all about?
Liam’s face turned sour, “Did you ever take anything I said seriously?”
Liam looked both angry and hurt, which made Celeste feel uncomfortable
But the thing is, she had no clue what Liam was talking about.
“What did I say?”
Liam clenched his jaw, as if trying to hold back his anger “You said, if you ever dumped me, I should keep pestering you Maybe your soft heart would make you change your mind. So now you won’t even let me pester you?”
Celeste was completely lost
When did this happen?
She couldn’t remember anything
Wart, this sounded familiar. A vague memory came to her
After mulling it over for a while, it finally clicked.
There was this one time when she was watching a soap opera.
The story was about a man and a woman who loved each other but chose to break up because of family and career issues
She cried her eyes out under her blanket, one moment blaming the male lead for not standing up for their love, the next blaming the female lead for not fighting for it
If they loved each other, why couldn’t they be together? Even if one of them just kept pestering the other, it would be better than just ending it all so easily
Her crying was so loud that she woke up Liam, who was sleeping next to her
Liam thought she was crying because she bought a fake bag and was upset about being duped. When he found out she was crying over a TV show, he was speechless
He handed her a tissue and wiped her puffed–up, peach–like eyes, saying. “TV shows are all fiction. They’re just trying to milk tears from sensitive people like you”
Celeste took the tissue, still sobbing, and accused him of being heartless.
Liam, who was never good at comforting people, just handed her the whole box of tissues and turned over to sleep.
Celeste was even more upset. She woke him up and asked him what he would do if he were the male lead
Liam, although extremely sleepy, tried to understand the plot and then said that if the female lead didn’t want him anymore, why should he keep pestering her? They should just break up
This really hit a nerve with Celeste She grabbed Liam’s collar tightly. “No! Even if I don’t want you anymore, you have to keep pestering me. I’m soft–hearted if you say a few sweet words. I might start to regret it”
Liam’s eye twitched, ‘Aren’t you being a bit too narcissistic? Why should I keep pestering you?”
Celeste leaned on his shoulder and said in a cutesy voice, I’m a girl Girls should be taken care of
Liam was speechless
Liam asked, “If I don’t want you anymore, would you keep pestering me?”
Celeste’s eyebrows shot up and she kicked him away, “in your dreams!”
Recalling this, Celeste fell silent
Just how many thoughtless romantic words had she said to Liam in the past?
