Chapter 456: Chapter 456: I Really Like You
"Why don’t you want to see me? July Quinn, what did I do wrong for you to treat me like this?"
Kyle Keaton followed closely behind.
Yesterday, he had carefully recalled the events of the past few days, but couldn’t figure out what heinous act he had committed.
Besides, when July Quinn called him yesterday to invite him for dinner, promising a surprise, her tone was particularly good.
Why did there suddenly come such a 180-degree shift?
Being utterly puzzled, seeing July Quinn about to drive away, Kyle Keaton hurriedly snatched the car keys, and quickly got into the driver’s seat.
July Quinn was momentarily helpless against him and could only sit in the passenger seat.
However, to avoid Kyle Keaton’s questioning, July Quinn chose to close her eyes.
But even so, on the road, Kyle Keaton’s deliberately lowered voice, slowed down speech, clearly with a hint of appeasement, still reached her ears.
"July, can we stop this nonsense?"
These words hit the softest part of her heart directly, causing warm tears to instantly hover in her eyes.
Yet the man was unaware of all this and continued in that tone, "I know I have a bad temper and I’m a full cycle older than you, but I really... really like you."
In the past, Kyle Keaton disdained to confess.
But last night, in the sleepless night searching for July Quinn, he thought a lot.
Life is just a few short decades, not even Kyle Keaton could escape aging and death, no matter how rich.
So he didn’t want to waste time competing with July Quinn anymore, only wished to hold her hand and walk through the limited time gracefully.
"If I didn’t like you, I wouldn’t be so suspicious, nor would I act like your parents, worrying about your late returns every day."
He thought again and again, it seemed their unhappiness always related to her late returns and his suspicion.
Worried that July Quinn disliked him for this, he simply explained himself.
"July Quinn, before meeting you, I never thought of spending my life with anyone. But after meeting you, you’ve appeared in all of my future plans."
"I like you, I love you, I want the whole world to know you’re my wife, want to hold your hand through the long rest of life, want to see all the changes with you. You are the sunrise, and the sunset too."
A gentle breeze blew in from the car window, tousling July Quinn’s hair, also unsettling her tender heart.
Previously, she dearly hoped to win over Kyle Keaton, to be the one he fell for first, become the loser, now she hoped to be his everything.
But her sudden coldness didn’t just fail to kill Kyle Keaton’s feelings, it rather made him boldly confess.
In that instant, July Quinn hesitated whether to tell Kyle Keaton the truth, to see if he would face it together with her.
Yet unexpectedly, Kyle Keaton suddenly changed his tone, "Oh no, someone tampered with your car, the brakes are failing."
"What?!" July Quinn initially thought Kyle Keaton was saying it deliberately to get her to pay attention to him.
But then she saw Kyle Keaton press the brakes several times right in front of her, the car didn’t stop at all.
But the car was perfectly fine when she drove it into The Quinn Manor last night.
Could it be...
July Quinn didn’t have time to think deeply, she could only look at the fuel gauge.
Fortunately, she didn’t refuel last night, the remaining gas would only last for a little over sixty kilometers.
But now, Kyle Keaton looked very tired.
The sixty-kilometer journey was still a big challenge for him.
"Let me drive." July Quinn tried to unfasten her seatbelt.
But Kyle Keaton pressed down on her hand...
