Audrey was flabbergasted.
How was Nordan considered easy to get along with?
In the past few years, he had not come to see her, but he would always find faults with her and make her life miserable. How could he have the audacity to say that he was easy to get along with?
Nordan continued, "Say it now."
Audrey asked, "Say what?"
Nordan asked, "What do you think?"
Audrey said, "I gotta get going now."
Nordan replied, "I dare you to walk out of this door."
"What exactly do you want?" Audrey asked.
Nordan said, "Say that you like me."
Audrey gritted her teeth. What Nordan was saying was the truth and Silvia was right too. Since she could not forget him, Audrey thought that she should just tell him how she felt for him, "Yes, I like you. I have thought of countless ways to forget you over the years, but I just couldn't do it."
Listening to Audrey's words, excitement surged through Nordan's veins. He pretended not to hear it and said, "Speak louder. My ears were blocked just now. I couldn't hear what you just said."
All Nordan wanted was to hear Audrey say that she liked him for another time, but Audrey had misinterpreted his words. She thought that he was trying to make things difficult for her. It was as if he would only be satisfied after walking all over her.
Audrey bit her lip and swallowed her grievances. She stood up and wanted to leave. Nordan reached out his hand and pulled her back. "Will you die if you say that you like me for another time?"
Audrey struggled. "Let go of me!"
Nordan said, "I told you that I'm easy to get along with. Since you've said that you like me, if I let go of you, wouldn't it mean that I'm going back on my words?"
Audrey roared, "Nordan Lawson, what exactly do you want?"
Nordan replied, "Well, I'll agree to be your boyfriend."
Audrey, "What did you just say?"
Nordan asked, "Are you deaf?"
Audrey: "What did you just say?"
Nordan said, "I said, I've agreed to be your boyfriend. From now on, I'll be your boyfriend and your future husband."
Audrey couldn't say a word.
She was not dreaming, was she?
She had been waiting for him and thinking about him all these years. Just as she was about to give up, Nordan returned to her side, flirted with her, and even said that he was willing to be her boyfriend.
In order to make sure that she wasn't dreaming, Audrey reached out her hand and pinched her thigh. It was painful. If it did hurt, it would mean that she wasn't dreaming. Everything that happened a while ago was real.
Nordan did come looking for her and even agreed to return to her side.
Happiness had come so abruptly that it was unbelievable. Audrey grabbed Nordan's clothes and said, "Nordan, say it again."
Nordan warned, "Don't push your luck, Sonia!"
Audrey carefully asked, "Do you like me then?"
