New Life : A Second Chance

Chapter 642 - Give Us A Chance

Beatrice was a prim and proper girl, and one who had never been in any sort of relationship. The only time she had ever had feelings for someone, he turned out to be her future cousin-in-law.

Ever since then, no one else stirred her interest.

It wasn't that her experience had scarred her but rather, no one else was interesting enough. There was no 'spark' at all.

She was too busy studying and working anyway.

Now, having such attention focused on her by these striking men was beyond her. She knew what she's like: the opposite of them. Plus, two of them? Like, seriously?

She had never had one guy interested in her and now she had two? She was to believe that they were fighting over her?

She snorted inwardly.

It was all a game, she knew. See who she would pick out of the two, meaning that the other would be the loser. After having some fun, they'd probably turn to their next victim. She wasn't stupid enough to fall for their tricks.

Yet, each time they met, she found her resolve waver.

Who would not, when such handsome devils would shower you with such attention - even if they were rather annoying at times.

Right now, she was even affected by the serious manner Yuri was looking at her. Making her believe that they were actually serious.

Beatrice took a deep breath and let it out loudly.

"Look, guys," Beatrice said, "You can stop it with all of this. Go choose another target to play with. I'm not biting."

Zack and Yuri frowned, their faces clearly showing their displeasure, "What are you talking about? Target? Playing?"

Zack stepped closer to Beatrice, saying, "Is that what you think we were doing all this time? Playing with you?"

Beatrice stood her ground, staring at him intently, "Look, I'm not stupid. Why would either of you be interested in me? Brothers, fighting over me? Not possible."

"Of course we're not fighting over you," Yuri admitted and Beatrice nodded.

She found this part of them really refreshing and she respected them highly for that. From their moments together, she discovered that they weren't the type that lied. It was unbelievable, but this proved it even more.

"See? So …" Beatrice began, but was cut off by Yuri.

"We're fighting for you," Yuri declared.

Beatrice looked at him, not understanding his point.

"For your heart," Zack declared unabashedly.

Beatrice turned to look at Zack, her eyes in a daze.

"We like you," Zack said, "And it's not just 'like, like'. We really, really like you."

"In case that is not clear enough," Yuri said at her side, standing much closer than ever before, "We're pursuing you."

"Not for fun," Zack relied, coming closer as well, "For life."

Beatrice gulped, her eyes wide, her mind not being able to process all of this.

She put her hands up, placing it on each of their chest, pushing them but they weren't budging. Instead, they took her hand in theirs and held her hand firmly against them.

"We like you," Zack said.

"We want you," Yuri continued.

"Just give us a chance," Zack said.

Beatrice finally managed to squeak out, "Both of you?"

They nodded, eyes serious.

"Wait wait wait," Beatrice said, trying to get back her hand but without success.

"This … this is just …"

"Country Tz allows both polygamy and polyandry marriages, you know," Yuri said calmly, "Trust us. Our feelings are sincere."

"You don't have to choose," Zack explained, "We'll take very good care of you, if you let us."

Beatrice shook her head, her eyes wide.

She looked like a deer who got caught in the headlights and the twins found it so adorable.

They came even closer, and now, Beatrice found herself being sandwiched by these two strong guys.

Yuri kissed her right cheek, while Zack kissed the side of her left neck.

"We like you," Zack and Yuri said together in her ear.

"For goodness sakes, people!!" came an exasperated voice from beside them.

Three pairs of eyes turned to see Xing Han, who was staring at them with his arms crossed against his chest.

He glared at Beatrice, asking with an annoyed voice, "Look, do you hate them?"

Suddenly being asked that question from a serious Xing Han made Beatrice answer automatically, "No."

Zack and Yuri looked pleased.

"Do you like them?" Xing Han continued to ask her sternly, like some school-teacher scolding her naughty student.

"I … I …" Beatrice stammered, not knowing how to reply.

Xing Han rolled his eyes dramatically, "Do they disgust you? Do you want to avoid them? Do you want them to go away and never come back?"

Zack and Yuri gulped, their hearts in their throat.

"No," Beatrice said eventually, her voice small.

"Then give them a chance," Xing Han said and then he glared at the twins.

"And let her go, you fools! Woo her gently, not so forcefully!" Xing Han ordered, "Like a princess. You want her, then be her knights!"

Xing Han then turned to wait for the kids again, while muttering under his breath about how his beloved Cookie should teach his men a thing or two about wooing someone.

Zack and Yuri obeyed Xing Han and did let Beatrice go, but still stood very close to her. They placed their hand over their hearts and said, "Beatrice, we would like to date you with the intention of marriage."

"Whoa whoa whoa," Beatrice exclaimed, putting up her hands, "Hold on and slow down. If we're going to do this, it has to be by my rules."

"Anything!" they chorused.

"We take this step-by-step," Beatrice said, "First, we get to know each other properly. We can see whoever and date anyone else in the meantime."

The twins frowned but kept silent.

"Secondly, if things are okay, then we date exclusively," Beatrice continued.

The twins grinned happily.

"Then, we get married," they declared confidently, "We agree!!"

They hugged her together and Beatrice's eye twitched.
