Daphne pursed her lips, her face flushed. She looked at him earnestly and said softly, "I'm sorry, Mr. William, I don't like you."
Jeffrey was not surprised and continued, "If it's just that you don't like me, I would like to ask for some time to be with you. Perhaps there's a chance for you to accept my pursuit."
Daphne furrowed her brow and shook her head, "No... I'm sorry, Mr. William, even though we've spent time together, I find it hard to like you."
Jeffrey's smile wasn't as genuine as before as he asked, "Why is that?"
"Because... I really won't be able to like you, not because there's anything wrong with your qualities, nor because your personality and behavior are not to my liking."
"I don't think I can accept this reason." Jeffrey gazed at her with a dim expression.
Daphne It's impossible to remain calm in such eyes, so I reluctantly turn my head and look out the window.
The moon still hangs alone in the dark sky, the stars are sparse tonight, and the moonlight shines as if it illuminates the entire night sky.
Even the flowers on the ground are reluctant to fall asleep, wanting to cherish this light and fully bloom their beauty.
"I'm sorry, Mr. William... It's not because of you, it's because of me, but I don't want to talk about it."
Jeffrey He propped his hand against his forehead, various speculations flashing through his mind, even momentarily suspecting that she might like women.
In the blink of an eye, he suddenly remembered the very first possibility that he had initially dismissed.
He asked in a low voice, "Miss Daphne, do you have someone else you like?"
Daphne clenched her fist on her thigh, and because of the force, her knuckles turned slightly white, not very naturally replying, "Um... I guess so."
Miss Vanja has been staying with the Vanthro host family from the beginning until now. Even if you think with your toes, you know that the number of men she can come into contact with won't exceed five.
The number of men she can see every day is even fewer, apart from the butler Louis, there's only her brother Miller.
Jeffrey remembered Miller's disgusted look and cold rejection, and suddenly everything became clear to him. He chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Haha... So that's how it is."
Daphne was made very uneasy by his laughter and asked in confusion, "Lord William, are you laughing at me?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Daphne, I'm just laughing at myself."
Jeffrey stood up, leaned on his legs, looked out the window, and his face had already calmed down.
"Now that I think about it, time is so short, anything is possible, I shouldn't have immediately ruled out the most frustrating situation."
Daphne didn't understand what he was saying. She looked at Jeffrey's chest, silently praying that he wouldn't find out that the person she liked was his brother.
"Miss Daphne," William called out to her.
Daphne blinked and looked at him, "Hmm?"
"I want to give you one last kiss, is that okay?"
Jeffrey gazed deeply at her.
Daphne was stunned, with her mouth open and unable to speak. Jeffrey leaned forward, getting close to Daphne's cheek, his probing intentions very clear.
His face enlarged in front of her eyes, almost about to kiss Daphne's cheek. Just as Jeffrey was about to kiss her, Daphne extended her left hand and blocked his lips.
"I'm sorry, Mr. William..." Daphne's heart was racing, her eyes moistened, and she looked at him uneasily, trembling as she said, "I don't want you to kiss me, I don't like you."
Jeffrey stared at her teary eyes, closed his own, and slowly softened his heart.
After a while, he caught her hand covering her lips and restrainedly kissed her fingertips.
"I'm sorry, Miss Daphne, I offended you. Please forgive me," he gazed dimly into her round and lovely nails, and smiled bitterly, "Please forget about today, but I still hope you can remember me."
Daphne said nothing, just stared silently at the hand he was holding.
Jeffrey forced a smile, let go of her hand, and said as naturally as possible, "The moon is beautiful tonight, but it's getting late. I won't disturb your rest."
"I was the one who was rude," Daphne shook her head. "I hope it won't affect the friendship between our two families."
"Not at all, that should be my line," he said.
I understand what she's worried about, and Jeffrey is willing to give her peace of mind.
Watching Jeffrey's departing figure, Daphne finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from her palms with a handkerchief.
