Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 786 His Persistence
The two of them sat face to face by the window.
"Steffan, I remember that Tristan Grey is your favourite tea. Shall we have that then?" Belle skimmed over the list of teas handed over by the waiter and said with a smile.
"Get that then, Dory. I'm truly happy that you still remember such details." He spoke in a somewhat serious yet excessive manner. The luster in his eyes could warm one's heart.
The way Steffan spoke, it pushed Belle further into her guilt trip.
He had been nothing but kind to her. Belle was not a fool at that point. From the moment he had taken her from the States to Srirano, his care and consideration had been constantly meticulous. In this vast sea of people, she was moved by the fact that there was a man who cared about her so much. Therefore, she cherished their friendship and was even willing to give him a chance.
Until then.
She didn't seem to think so anymore.
To her, there was no love between them.
In order to maintain their friendship, she had to make it clear. Therefore, she quickly gathered her courage and said, "Steffan, you're like a brother I've never had. If you don't mind, I don't want to ruin our friendship."
The intention that came out of Belle's mouth was as clear as day.
Steffan had expected that she would say that, so his reaction didn't show a glint of surprise.
He gazed at her face, and a glimmer of light rose from the depths of his eyes. "Dory, I really don't mind. We've been like brothers and sisters all this while, no?"
Belle was stunned, her eyes filled with confusion as she stared at him, as if she wanted to distinguish the true meaning to his words.
Steffan smiled slightly and rested his palms on her hair, gently stroking them between his fingertips. His voice was calm and composed. "Dory, I understand what you mean. Let's live our lives filled with happiness. Don't worry about it. I told you, I'm doing this out of my own free will. You don't have to feel any sort of guilt or burden. In the future, no matter the status of our relationship, you'll always be my sister. I can promise you this. Don't be hasty in making a decision when we still don't know what the future holds."
