Chapter 1160 Perhaps It’s Time to Take a Step Forward

It was his first time?

Stephanie’s eyes widened as she could not believe it. She questioned if he was telling the truth. “You’ve never had a girlfriend before?”

“Mmhmm. I was a chubby kid back then, so who would have had a crush on me?” Leonard said, feeling a little embarrassed. Then, he continued, “I started working after that, and I was swamped at work every day. So I didn’t have the time to think about it anymore.”

If he had not met Stephanie, he might not even want to get himself a girlfriend at that point. After all, it was not important to him to have a girlfriend.

“Then why are you thinking of getting a girlfriend now?’ Stephanie found it strange. No matter how she looked at it, she still found it a little strange that a person who had been busy working suddenly wanted to have a girlfriend.

Leonard looked at her. After falling silent for a while, he decided to tell her the truth, “Actually, it started because I knew about you and Paul. I knew his hands were not clean. I didn’t want you to be with that kind of person as you would ruin yourself sooner or later. Later, as we interacted more, I realized I really liked you. That’s why I’ve plucked up the courage to confess my feelings to you today.”

Stephanie said nothing, but she believed what he said deep down. After all, she felt strange when they first met each other. She didn’t think that she was pretty enough that someone would fall for her at first sight.

“Paul…”

“He was controlling the black market when he was in Parrington back then, so practically all of his businesses were illegal. However, now that he’s moved to Bardoff City, he has turned most of his businesses into legal ones. If he doesn’t continue breaking the law, and if he doesn’t let me find any evidence against him, I cant do anything to him as well. Dont worry,” Leonard said.

Of course, that was provided if Paul didn’t continue to do anything illegal. If he continued breaking the law, Leonard would still not let him off the hook.

Stephanie rolled her eyes at him and said, “I’m not worried about that. If he really did break the law, just catch him. It has nothing to do with me at all.”

“I’m very glad that you think so.” He was afraid that Stephanie still hadn’t completely given up on Paul yet.

They seemed to have gone a little off-topic. Leonard scratched his head.” Stephanie, you still haven’t told me if you’re willing to be my girlfriend.’

“You’re so busy. Even if I were to be your girlfriend, you probably wouldn’t have time to spend with me.” When she didn’t have a boyfriend, she could do anything alone. However, once she had a boyfriend, she still hoped that he could spend time with her.

When Leonard heard that, he immediately said seriously, “Dont worry. I’ll certainly free up more of my time to be with you. All of my time after work and during all the holidays are all yours.”

He was very sincere with his words. Stephanie was a little touched when she looked at him. ‘ You have to think it through. I’m not as great as you think I am.”

“I’ve thought it through.’ He would not have confessed his feelings that day if he had not thought it through.

“Then…” Stephanie looked at him and smiled. “My answer is yes.”

Leonard was stunned, and then he immediately beamed brightly. “Don’t worry, Stephanie. I won’t let you get hurt at all.”

He pulled her into his arms. He just hugged her and did nothing else. Even so, he was already pleased.

As Stephanie nestled in his arms and felt his warmth, she felt a little uncertain for a moment.

Could this man in front of her truly bring her happiness?

Stephanie was actually feeling nervous. However, it was time for her to take a step forward.

When they returned to the front yard, they were already holding each other’s hands. Jenny could tell at a glance that the air between them had changed.

She could not help but smile. She then nudged Alec with some smugness.” I bet the two of them have gotten together.”

Alec looked in the direction of Jenny’s gaze and saw Leonard and Stephanie holding hands. In that instant, Alec could tell as well.
