Chapter 65: His…Mate?
"Last I remember, you used to be quite into me, Evelyn. Makes me wonder if it’s no longer the case."
"Valerio, that was in the past, and I don’t think you should be—"
"I wouldn’t say no," Valerio cut her off, stepping into her space until he could whisper. "I’m at the top of the world now, completely worthy of you. I wouldn’t say no, sweetheart."
Eyes fell on her so dreamily, she almost wanted to step back. "I know that I completely rejected you back then even though I knew you were into me. But the thing is...I wasn’t where I wanted to be then. I wasn’t good enough for you. Now though, I am. And that’s why I took this opportunity to come. So...what do you say? Would you give me a chance?"
What the...
How does he randomly come to this event just to drop this sort of bomb and ask her this...?
Does he think she was waiting on him all this time?
After how he’d shut her down? Did he have any idea how humiliating she’d felt back then, even locking herself up in her own room until her father had to drag her out himself? He’d told her that he wasn’t into her and that she wasn’t...his type.
So what the hell was all this crap now?
Evelyn shoved suddenly at his chest, breaking off the dance and stepping back a bit. "Don’t do that, please. We’re at a public event. I don’t want scandals."
"Scandals?" He smirked. "Like what? Being seen with Valerio Barcini? Or is it me asking you out? C’mon Evelyn, this is what you’ve always wanted. You and I."
