Chapter 1078: Chapter 1058 I Believe in You!

"Who do you like?"

The man’s smile on his face froze, "Miss Leon has someone she likes, does Miss Leon have a special someone?"

She hadn’t planned on speaking about this matter, for although she liked him, he had rejected her years ago, and it wasn’t appropriate to mention it. But looking at the man before her, it seemed inappropriate as well.

"It’s the person I like!"

Yes, just the person she liked, nothing more. She actually used to like the color white the most, but at some point, after hearing him say that only girls in goose-yellow looked like princesses, and those in white looked like they were in mourning, she started to like goose-yellow.

After that, she became accustomed to wearing skirts of that color, and nearly all her skirts were in this shade.

"It doesn’t matter, I don’t mind!"

Senna Leon thought that because of this sentence, there was no need to continue the blind date. She wanted to speak, but unexpectedly, the man spoke before her, "Who doesn’t have someone they like? Since you’re here on a blind date, it proves that you and the person you like will never be possible. Don’t worry, I won’t mind!"

Senna Leon: "..."

"But I mind!" Since it was an acquaintance that had introduced them, Senna thought it better to make things clear to avoid wasting the man’s time, "About the blind date, let me explain—I actually didn’t want to come; it was my parents’ idea. You should understand, one’s heart can’t hold two people at the same time!"

As Senna was speaking, she noticed the man’s demeanor change from initially polite and smiling gently to his face abruptly darkening with a fierce expression at her words.

"So, Mr. Wood, I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve caused you today, and I apologize!"

Finished speaking, Senna Leon motioned to the waiter, "Check, please!"

"Senna Leon, are you kidding me?"

Seeing Senna signing for the check, Johnson Wood suddenly stood up, agitatedly grabbing her hand, "If you didn’t want to go on a blind date, you could have refused. Why agree? I don’t even care that you have someone else in your heart and am willing to marry you. What are you being pretentious for?!"

"Sorry, the blind date was arranged by my mom and your relative. I couldn’t refuse. I apologize to you!"

"Apologize? Can an apology make up for the half-hour you made me wait? You should know how precious my time is. To have waited half an hour for you is one thing, but to waste my entire time on this blind date, how do you plan to compensate?"

If it wasn’t because the woman in the photo looked beautiful and was exactly the kind of girl he was interested in at first glance, why would he wait for her for half an hour? He wouldn’t wait even a minute. He had forgiven her for being late, and yet she dared to refuse him?

"Let me tell you, Miss Leon, I, Johnson Wood, never waste time. Since I’ve come on a blind date, you have to agree whether you want to or not!"

What a joke, he didn’t mind that she had someone else in her heart, and she still dared to look down on him?

If she hadn’t looked better in person than in the photo, would he have wasted so much time talking to her? Did she really think he had all the time in the world?

Senna Leon truly hadn’t expected him to say such things. What era was this, was there still such a thing as a forced marriage?

"Sorry, but I can’t agree to that. The bill is paid, so I’ll be leaving first!"

After she finished speaking, she forcefully shrugged off his hand, turned, and walked away. Arguing with such a man was clearly pointless, and since quarreling was never her strong suit, she thought it best to avoid conflict when possible. However, the next moment Senna Leon realized some people you cannot provoke, nor can you avoid them.

"The person I’ve taken a fancy to, won’t be able to leave so easily!"

As Senna had barely taken a step, her arm was seized once more, and this time, she couldn’t shake him off: "Mr. Wood, let go of me, please show some respect!"

She wondered if her mother had done any background check on the man’s character at all?

Was she truly being introduced to a man who seemed like a gentleman but was no different from a street thug?

"Miss Leon, you mentioned you have someone in your heart, yet your mother has you out here on a blind date. This means you and your love interest can’t be together. Who could the esteemed Miss Leon of the Leon family fancy that she can’t be with? If I’m not mistaken, Miss Leon, you’re playing the role of a mistress, aren’t you?"

Although the Leon family’s status wasn’t at the very top, it was at least one of the most prominent in Andras City. It would be too simple for her to marry someone she liked. If she liked someone yet could not marry, and the family forced her out on blind dates, there was only one possibility – she had fallen for a married man.

So, the Leon family arranged the blind date for her, hoping for a change of heart.

"Slap!"

A crisp sound of a slap echoed. Even Senna herself didn’t realize she had the courage to strike a man.

"Johnson Wood, don’t you dare spout nonsense with such certainty and accuse me so wildly! Do you think the word ’mistress’ is something you can toss around lightly?"

She could tolerate other things, but not this kind of slander. Just because she once had feelings for Rio Gordon, she didn’t want to tarnish his name—he had been liked by a mistress once!

"Daring to scheme against me, Senna Leon, this suggests a guilty conscience. A mistress daring to hit me, you must not want to live!"

Johnson Wood had never been treated this way before, to be slapped by a woman – he acted on impulse, raising his hand to strike her face, "I’ll make you regret this!"

Senna Leon instinctively titled her head back, defiantly looking at him: "I am not a mistress!"

Although it was an explanation, it still sounded weak and unconvincing. The man’s hand, raised to deliver the slap, did not waver at her plea, and Senna Leon instinctively closed her eyes...

However, the awaited slap did not come. Instead, it was replaced by the presence of another man nearby – a presence she was somewhat familiar with, the scent of someone she couldn’t forget no matter how hard she tried...

Senna could feel her heart skipping a beat. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and was taken aback by the breathtaking face that appeared before her without warning, robbing her of all breath. Overwhelmed and uncontrollably, her first instinct was to explain.

"I haven’t been a mistress, really I haven’t!"

Senna heard her own voice quivering as she looked into the man’s eyes, brimming with unshed tears.

"I believe you!"

Those three simple yet decisive words meant more to her than a thousand sentences. Her eyes, which had barely held back tears, now streamed with them. Waiting for him to say those words made all the years of loneliness worthwhile!

"Mr. Gordon, don’t be fooled by her tears, this woman is a deceiver. She clearly agreed to meet me for a blind date, and now she’s backtracking, speaking of someone in her heart. Why can’t she be with that person if he exists unless she’s an outright -?"
