Chapter 881: Chapter 860: Just Give In!

In Morgan Sanders’ world, Bella Gordon was a model student who focused wholeheartedly on her studies, regarding things like early romance as foolish and not worth her attention.

That’s why he had been working so hard to silently stay by her side, not even daring to muster the courage to express his feelings.

After what seemed like an eternity, the college entrance exam was finally over, and they had come of age. He had gathered the courage to confess his feelings, but before he could speak out, he heard her say she had a boyfriend. The blow was indeed a hard one!

"I... I didn’t have an early romance!"

She did have a boyfriend now, but she hadn’t engaged in early romance. To Bella, early romance was clearly defined as two people constantly being together in a way that affected their studies and hindered their progress.

She and Brother Roy had an agreement: they would study hard and not be romantically involved until after graduation so as not to affect their studies!

"So you just said you have a boyfriend now?"

Hearing Bella’s words, Morgan almost subconsciously let out a sigh of relief, then suddenly, as if realizing something, asked, "Is it because you don’t like them, so you purposely made up an excuse?"

In the past, when boys confessed to her, she would say she was focused on studying and not interested in early romance. Now, it seemed obvious that this excuse was no longer valid, so she must have come up with another reason. Though Morgan felt the possibility was quite slim, he couldn’t help but indulge in his self-delusion. After all, who could blame him when he had fallen for this girl at first sight!

Having waited for so long, it was time to make an honest confession!

So, come on, Morgan Sanders!

"Um, Morgan..."

Bella wanted to say something, but before she could finish, she was abruptly cut off by the man.

"I knew you were just making excuses, you just don’t like them!" Saying this, Morgan excitedly approached Bella, picked up his wine glass, and under the scrutiny of everyone present, held it out to her, "Bella, I like you. I’ve liked you for a very long time. The college entrance exam is over, we’ve had our coming of age ceremony, it won’t affect our studies, and it’s not early romance anymore, so, Bella, be my girlfriend please!"

After speaking, it was as if he didn’t have the courage to look up at Bella’s emoji, bowing his head, he held his half glass of red wine above his head and presented it to her: "Accept my toast, be my girlfriend please!"

Bella Gordon: "..."

She hadn’t said anything, and already this young boy had misconstrued her words and made such a passionate confession. She usually handled such matters in a straightforward and ruthless manner, rejecting outright without a hint of sentimentality. But that was reserved for those boys who didn’t study well and only thought about chasing girls!

Clearly, the young man before her not only studied hard and was thoughtful and ambitious but was also kind and had helped her solve a few math problems. Strictly speaking, he could be considered the only male classmate who was also a friend. She didn’t want to hurt him, especially seeing how earnest he was!

For a moment, Bella Gordon really didn’t know what to say!

"Oh, no, that’s not right, drinking is bad for women, let me drink it as a salute to you first!" Before the woman could respond, Morgan snapped out of his nervous act, took down the wine he held above his head, and drained it in one go, "Bella, I like you, oh no, I love you!"

Thinking about confessing to his Goddess, Morgan Sanders had never imagined he would be this nervous, to the point that he didn’t even know what he was doing at the moment, and he didn’t dare to look into Bella Gordon’s eyes. He was afraid, terribly afraid, afraid of seeing the rejection or disappointment in her gaze!

So...

He needed to muster his courage. His eyes scanned around, and although most of the drinks had already been poured by others, he finally found a glass of just-poured red wine in Mia Rowen’s hand. He snatched it without waiting for everyone to react and downed it in one go.

After two glasses of wine, and another one he had drunk earlier on behalf of Bianca, that made three, which was a lot for a man who had never drunk before. Morgan Sanders’ face flushed at once, and he felt a bit dizzy and lightheaded, with a single conviction overwhelming him: many people liked Bianca, and if he didn’t confess today, someone else might beat him to it, and he would have no chance at all afterward!

"Bella Gordon, I like you, will you be my girlfriend?"

"Wow, sensational, the Number 10 campus heartthrob, finally made his move and confessed today!"

"Morgan Sanders has finally grown a spine!"

"Say yes to him, say yes to him, say yes to him..."

The room erupted with a thunderous uproar. The group of boys who were just about to confess to Bella Gordon with their wine glasses, upon seeing Morgan Sanders’ confession, instantly retreated. They all liked Bella Gordon, but compared to Morgan Sanders, they evidently lacked the competitiveness!

Morgan Sanders was the sole heir of the century-old jewelry company, the Sanders family, with billions in inheritance resting on this one grandson. Besides his family background, Morgan Sanders was a handsome and distinguished young master, with excellent grades and an even better character. In the entire school, there was no student more suitable for Andras City’s top socialite, Miss Bella, than Morgan Sanders!

Everyone has desires for beautiful women, but it also depends on who the competition is. With Morgan Sanders as the competitor, it was clear they were deterred.

The reason they dared to compete in confessing before was that Morgan Sanders hadn’t confessed amidst all the teasing from many people. Now that he had, this ragtag bunch naturally stepped back meekly to watch the drama unfold!

Inside the private room, it was all "say yes to him, say yes to him," obviously disregarding the statement Bella Gordon had made earlier about having a boyfriend.

"I really do have a boyfriend, truly. If you don’t believe me, ask Mia, she’s met him!"

As Bella Gordon spoke, she nudged Mia Rowen next to her, signaling her to corroborate her story. However, Mia Rowen was so fixated on Morgan Sanders that she hadn’t heard a word. It was only after being pushed forcefully a couple of times that she dazedly uttered two words, "Yeah, yeah!"

Those two words of affirmation might as well have not been said!

"Please, Bella Gordon, stop making excuses. Where did you get a boyfriend from!"

"Bianca, when faced with a God like Morgan Sanders, just nod your head and accept, and kick the one at home to the curb!"

"Yeah, yeah, I don’t believe you could find someone with better credentials than Morgan Sanders to be your boyfriend! He has wealth, looks, and academic achievements, but most importantly, he has a heart that loves you. Given your current social status, it’s not easy to find a boyfriend who matches you, so you might as well accept him!"
