Hearing this, Lisa's face couldn't help but turn red.
Leo frowned and stared straight at Lisa, who did not dare to look at him. "You just said that there was something that you forgot to take. Is it the one you took?"
"I..." Lisa thought for a moment and then started to panic, "No! I really got something when I went back just now. When I saw this was still there, I thought it was a pity, so I took it by the way."
"Just by the way? Then why do you take it home?"
Just now in the underground parking lot, Lisa said that she wanted to go back to take something, but everyone waited for her for half an hour when they arrived. Leo first thought that she was delayed because of something. But now when he saw that, he immediately understood everything.
Lisa ran back to take the flowers he couldn't give to Elizabeth and took them home. Lisa put the bouquet on her dining table with the one he had given to her.
"I..." Lisa was speechless for a moment. She was stunned for a long time before she said in a hurry, "Yes! I go back and get it. So what? Elizabeth doesn't want it. You also throw it there and don't want it. Am I not allowed to take it?"
Hearing this, Leo could not help but wipe his face, "If you want, just tell me. What's the point of picking it up?"
"Pick it up?" Lisa smiled slightly, "You also think I look like a garbage collector, don't you? But I've already picked them up. What should I do? If I told you, would you buy me flowers like that? Others don't want it, but I treat it like a treasure. Do you think I'm very ridiculous?"
"That's fine. I also think it's ridiculous." Lisa scratched her hair, "Others don't want it. I've waited so long but I can't get it..."
Leo pursed his lips and tightened his jaw, "What are you talking about?"
Lisa sighed and plucked up her courage to look at him, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? You've been pretending to not know that for so many years. Aren't you tired?"
Not only did he pretend to be ignorant of her love, but she was pretending that she didn't love him. He said that she was his best friend, and she had been treating herself as his best friend until...
Now that things had come to this, she didn't want to pretend anymore. She had been tired of pretending for so many years.
"..." Leo frowned. After a long while, he said softly, "Lisa, you're drunk."
"I know if I'm drunk or not, and you should know as well." With this, Lisa stood up and walked straight to him, "I've loved you for so many years, and I don't want to secretly love you anymore. Now, I finally tell you that. Do you still want to escape?" "I just want to know if you like me or not. That's such a simple answer. Is it hard for you to tell me?"
Leo glanced at the bouquet on the dining table, and then turned around to look at Lisa who was about to cry. He closed his eyes and finally said,
"I'm sorry."
"James, are you really not angry?" Elizabeth entered the house with James and couldn't help asking again.
"You asked me three times in a row. Mrs. Lu, aren't you annoyed?" James snorted, "Do you want me to say that I am angry so that you are satisfied?"
As soon as James finished his words, he frowned and said, "Well, I'm not angry. Didn't you see me say that I'll invite that guy to dinner? But..." Then he looked at Elizabeth seriously, "During my absence, you are not allowed to eat alone with him. Do you hear me?" Leo clearly had a crush on Elizabeth. How could James allow Elizabeth to have dinner with him? What a joke!
"What?" Elizabeth automatically filtered out the other unimportant words and asked in a hurry, "Are you leaving?"
