Relentlessly, Carl continued his prattling. However, at that point, Gabriella was exceedingly irritated to the extent that she wasn't even willing to say a word.
“Enough, Carl!”
Finally, Gabriella couldn't take it anymore.
Fumed, she bellowed, “Why don't you take a look at yourself? Do you really think you're good enough for me, huh? With such status and appearance of yours, things will never work out between us!”
Disdain and scorn were written all over
Gabriella's face, and as she looked at Carl, her eyes were filled with derision and mockery.
The penetrating glint in her eyes pierced directly through Carl's heart. Cheap tart, I'll make you
beg for mercy between my legs one day!
Despite his thought, Carl kept his composure and didn't let it show via his expression.
Gabriella's brutal words didn't stop him, nor did they make him retreat. Instead, his harassment became even more intense.
“Gabriella, I don't care how you perceive me. My love for you is genuine! I've heard about the troubles you encountered recently. I'd say that a man like Larry is really a blinded fool. How can he not cherish such a perfect woman like you? I'm sure he'll regret it sooner or later!” Carl expressed himself eagerly. The way he gazed at Gabriella was notably keen and affectionate.
In fact, Gabriella was deeply affected by the last sentence Carl uttered.
Larry is indeed blind, which is exactly why he fell
for that wretch Joan. At some point in the future, he’ll definitely regret it and come begging for my forgiveness!
At that thought, Gabriella stopped pulling a long face. Out of the blue, she even felt that Carl wasn't that annoying anymore.
The change in Gabriella's expression was fully captured by Carl. In his mind, he was cursing Gabriella for indulging herself in her whims. Between his lips, however, sweet talks were spurted non-stop.
“Gabriella, trust me. I'll do anything for you, as long as you promise to be with me.”
