Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 287

Propping her face up with her hands, she tilted her head and looked at the man in front of her while being immersed in his stunning looks.

Even though Yvonne was all about looks, she would not blindly love someone because of it.

On the other hand, Conrad was different. Besides his looks, he had treated everybody politely while being an easy person to get close to.

The man, who was seated opposite her, took a look at the menu before placing it in front of Yvonne. "Ladies

"Okay then."

This is the man I like. He really is attentive toward women.

Maybe it was because she liked him so much, every move of his would be looked upon positively by her.

Opening the menu, she ordered a few dishes before she asked, "Conrad, what do you like to eat? I can order it for you." This way, she could also discover his preferences. "Hilton Restaurant is best known for its beef Wellington, so I'll have one in medium rare. Also, I would like a serving of pasta."

"Okay. What else do you like? The caviar and truffles here are also quite tasty.”

Conrad only nodded after listening to her recommendation. "I will have a try then."

"Alright. I'll order one set of each then."

Pressing the button, Yvonne called for the waiter.

After a short while, the waiter walked in. She repeated the dishes that they chose before returning the menu to him.

There was silence in the room after the waiter left.

Yvonne, who blinked while crossing her hands, was using her right thumb's nail to scratch her left one, as she felt a bit nervous.

"About yesterday, I really do need to thank you." Breathing in deeply, she continued, "If I was taken back to Castron this time, I don't know when I would step foot into this country again."

The man leaned against the seat with crossed legs and arms as he sat there imposingly. "Zac seems to like you a lot," he stated.

Looking down at the table, Yvonne shook her head. "I do not like him, though. One shouldn't force love. Besides, I have someone whom I like."

At this stage, she suddenly looked into Conrad's eyes as if she was expecting him to ask who she fancied.

Yet, the calm man only returned her gaze with an elegant smile. It was at this moment that nobody really knew what he was thinking about.

Even though it was only by a few seconds, it felt more like an eternity to Yvonne since her expectations were slowly dissipating.

Yvonne thought that she had already made her hints obvious, but Conrad did not follow up as expected, which could only mean... He doesn't feel anything for me.

"Who do you like?" he asked suddenly.

Feeling her heart skip a beat, she found herself unable to breathe out of nervousness as she gripped her hands even tighter to the point where she was leaving a mark on her left thumb without even her knowing.

"I... I..."

With a hint of shyness in her gaze, she looked up at him...

"You don't need to say it if you feel uncomfortable. After all, this is quite a private topic. It was me who suddenly asked the question." Conrad smiled elegantly as he slowly sipped from the cup.

"I-It isn't. I... Actually, the one I like is you, Conrad!" She voiced her thoughts after mustering her courage.
