Chapter 770: Chapter 770: Gwen And Martha
Fortunately, Gwen had already left.Otherwise, knowing her personality, another heated argument would have erupted on the spot.
Annie slowly turned toward Felix.
She gave him an annoyed stare. The expression on her face clearly said,
’Well? Aren’t you going to explain what just happened?’
Felix immediately understood the meaning behind her gaze.
If he remained silent, Annie probably wouldn’t even give him a chance to explain later.
He let out a long sigh. Then he honestly explained everything from beginning to end.
The more Annie listened, the deeper her frown became.
When he finally finished, she looked at him speechlessly. "I’ve met plenty of foolish people before."
She shook her head. "But I’ve never met anyone as foolish as you."
Felix immediately pouted. His expression looked almost wronged. "What else was I supposed to do?"
He sighed helplessly.
"If I hadn’t agreed to her request, she would’ve continued bothering us."
He looked gently at Annie. "I didn’t want you to feel uncomfortable."
Hearing those sincere words, Annie forced a small smile.
However, that smile didn’t last long. Her expression gradually turned serious. She quietly walked closer before softly saying,
"Felix, if something like this ever happens again, please tell me beforehand."
She slowly lowered her gaze. "I don’t ever want to experience something like being cheated on."
Her voice became softer. "And don’t ever show favouritism toward another woman."
She took a slow breath. "I wouldn’t be able to bear it."
Felix’s expression instantly became equally solemn. He gently held her hands. "Annie. I’m not that kind of man."
He squeezed her hands lightly.
"Please, believe me."
Annie quietly stared at him for several moments. Finally, she nodded. "Alright."
A faint smile returned to her face. "For now, I believe you."
Just then, she suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right."
She looked at Felix again. "My colleague Vincent is holding a birthday party in a 2 weeks later. He invited me."
She smiled.
"So, would you like to come with me?"
The moment Vincent’s name was mentioned, a trace of concern appeared in Felix’s eyes.
He frowned slightly. "Vincent, Isn’t he the same guy who’s been trying to flirt with you?"
Annie immediately frowned. "What do you mean ’trying to flirt ambiguously’?"
She looked at him seriously. "I’ve already made everything perfectly clear to him. I don’t like him. I’ve never encouraged him. And I’ve never intentionally gotten close to him."
