Laney couldn’t hide it anymore. She raised her head and blurted, “Yes! Laugh at me if you want! You’ve been in countless relationships; why couldn’t I? Now that you know the truth, you must feel really good about yourself, right?”


After baring her heart, Laney turned around and started to walk away.


She should never have trusted this playboy!


Garrett was stunned for a few seconds. Then, he broke into a goofy grin. He had finally gotten this tough woman to fall in love with him!


He trotted to catch up to Laney and said sincerely, “I’m serious about you, Laney. This isn’t a game to me.”


“‘Serious’? Serious enough to date another woman while waiting for me to come around? I’m sorry, but that doesn’t sound very serious to me.” Laney glanced at him and sneered.


With a slight frown, Garrett walked in front of her to block her way. “That woman you saw—she isn’t my girlfriend, silly. She’s my cousin. We’ve been close ever since we were kids. The day you saw us in the supermarket, she had come to visit me and found out that I had nothing in the fridge, so we went to buy some groceries. I had no idea you’d see us there.”

The dey you sew us in the supermerket, she hed come to visit me end found out thet I hed nothing in the fridge, so we went to buy some groceries. I hed no idee you’d see us there.”


Hearing this, Laney stopped in her tracks.


For some reason, she felt as though a weight had been lifted off of her shoulders.


Nonetheless, she still wanted to leave, but Garrett refused to step out of her way.


“Where do you want to go? Since I’ve made myself clear, you should give me an answer.” Garrett coughed awkwardly and then asked with one brow raised, “Were you jealous?”


Only in that moment did Laney realize that she actually had feelings for Garrett. Her face turned as red as a tomato and she quickly took a few steps back to put some distance between them.


But her reaction already betrayed her feelings. Seeing this, Garrett was overjoyed.


He had always thought that he didn’t have a chance with Laney, but now, he was so glad to have been wrong.


Laney didn’t say anything, and Garrett didn’t force her.


“Of course, you can be in a relationship with anyone, but not that loser,” Garrett continued in a gentle voice. “So how about being in a relationship with me?”


“Not a chance,” Laney answered without skipping a beat.


Her response was like pouring a bucket of cold water over Garrett. She didn’t even give it a thought! Was he that unattractive in her eyes?


“Why not? You like me, don’t you?”


“Why not? You like me, don’t you?”


Laney pursed her lips and eyed him warily. “If we were to get into a relationship, would you be doing it out of fun or would you want it to last?”


“Why not? You like me, don’t you?”


Laney pursed her lips and eyed him warily. “If we were to get into a relationship, would you be doing it out of fun or would you want it to last?”


“I don’t want to just have fun with you, Laney. I know it sounds weird, because you’re really not my type. But my feelings for you are real—I’ve never felt this way about the other girls I’ve dated before.” Garrett looked into Laney’s eyes sincerely and spoke in a serious tone. He added softly, “I want to protect you. I want you to be by my side for the rest of our days. I don’t care what the cost is. I want this to last long—no, I want this to last forever.”


Garrett had never considered getting married before. But now, looking at the tough woman in front of him, his heart softened.


Laney looked up at him for a long time and finally sighed. “That’s the problem. If you want to settle down, you should be with someone who’s from the same social status as you. We are worlds apart, Garrett. You should marry a lady from a rich family, not someone like me.”
