The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1386

The usually proud Byran dropped his pride. "Ida, can you take me a bit more seriously? I can accept that you don't see me as your boyfriend, but I hope you won't accept any other men before that. If you prefer mature men, I can grow up too. I just need a little time to change. I can do it!"

Ida looked at him blankly.

"What expectations do you think I could have for a guy who didn't even graduate from high school and who failed to get into college time and time again? Expect you to mature? Please! Or maybe you’re hoping you'll become a son at my side, so I can worry for you every day?"

Byran was shocked. He always cared about his dignity, and being spoken to like this by the woman he liked made him feel ashamed. He stepped back, unable to say anything in response.

Ida felt a twinge of guilt after seeing the hurt look on his face. But she couldn't keep going like this.

He was too serious. If this continued, it would be even harder for her to break free from him in the future.

She didn't like being tied down by feelings or want to take responsibility for anything other than work, including but not limited to men.

"Byran, if you really want to grow up, go home now. Don't be a kid who does nothing but make your family worry."

Byran didn't say anything, but he held on to her arm tightly, unwilling to let go.

"Ida, do you need my help?"

At this moment, Ida's ex-boyfriend came out of the private room with concern written all over his face.

Originally, Ida had no plans to rekindle her old flames with her ex, but given the current situation, in order to make Byran give up, she suddenly had a thought. She hooked her arm into her ex's and said, "Ethan, help me get him out of here. He's so annoying!"

Ethan was also surprised by Ida's action. He glanced at her arm and then confidently put his arm around Ida's shoulder, sternly warning Byran, "Did you hear that? She doesn't care about you at all. Let go now, or don't blame me for calling the cops and claiming you're harassing my girlfriend."
