Marriage Games with a Charming CEO novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Who Had the Crush First 

Alicia had never believed that Edmond truly liked her. 

Even though he had been trying to please her recently, she had never thought of him that way and always avoided him intentionally. 

She had heard all kinds of chat-up lines from Edmond. 

But to her, they were like sugar-coated bullets. 

But last night Edmond blocking the red wine bottle had changed Alicia’s impression and perception of him. 

And the epoxy key chain that she saw earlier in the drawer. 

It was a token of her affection that took her several days to make in sophomore year. She had wanted to give it to Edmond and confess her feelings for him, but before she could do it, it was thrown into the trash can by her. 

Alicia didn’t know how Edmond found it. 

Back then, she just wanted to get rid of all her feelings for him, never spoke them out again, and no one would know her hidden crush anymore. 

But she didn’t expect Edmond to get it. 

"Were you crying about my operation mistake?" 

Edmond asked tonelessly. 

Alicia was startled to notice that she wanted to cry again, so she took a sip of soup to cover the sound of sniffing. 

"No." 

She failed to conceal her choking with sobs. 

He looked at her holding back tears in surprise. 

He knew that she was really scared this time. 

Edmond put down the tableware in his hand, stood up, walked to Alicia, and squatted down. He frowned and wiped her tears. 

He did it gently, filled with indulgence, but with a smile. "I can’t believe you would cry about it." 

Alicia shook off his hand and said angrily, "Stop smiling!" 

Edmond’s smile was full of pride. 

It made her head ache. 

Sure enough, none of them could express their feelings appropriately. 

Every time she got jealous and cried about it, he was so happy and enjoyed making fun of her! 

Edmond held Alicia in his arms with one hand and stroked the back of her head with the other. 

He lowered his eyes and said in a gentle voice. 

"Alicia, why is it so hard to admit that you like me?" 

Alicia buried her head in his chest. 

She felt safe in his white overall, and his black shirt vaguely exuded the smell of driftwood cologne. 

She sniffed it when he wasn't noticing. 

Then, she began to complain. 

"You fell for me first. Why can’t you admit it?" 

"Oh? Who said that?" 

"I saw the key chain in your drawer. I threw it away, and you picked it up. You have been having a crush on me since so long ago. You dog."
