Chapter 899: Chapter 878: The Confessor is Back!

"Bella Gordon, is Brother Roy really the only one in your heart?"

As Mia Rowen followed behind the girl who paid no attention to men, she said, "Morgan Sanders has been chasing you for four whole years. Haven’t you felt anything? Speaking of which, Brother Roy hasn’t even been by your side as much as this classmate of yours, and you really feel nothing?"

After the college entrance exam, Bella Gordon and Mia Rowen, as they wished, continued to be top ten best friends at university. Of course, it was a surprise for Bella that Morgan was at the same university, but then, love isn’t about who gives more and who should be loved in return!

"Mia Rowen, you clearly know I only have Brother Roy in my heart. Why do you ask such pointless questions!" Bella Gordon looked at Mia Rowen, who wasn’t the least bit fragile, with some speechlessness and started helplessly, "You care about him so much, could it be that you’ve fallen for him?"

"Cough cough..."

Caught off guard by such a remark, Mia admitted she almost choked on her saliva, "Bella Gordon, have you been watching too much ’The Smiling, Proud Wanderer’? Do you think the women of the world are all Inara Reynolds, falling for men who are crazily in love with other women? Let me tell you, I, Mia Rowen, have no interest in a man who has someone else in his heart!"

"Oh, I get it now!" Upon hearing this, Bella Gordon deliberately dragged out the ’oh’ sound, feigning an epiphany, "So you mean you’re not interested because he has someone else in his heart, that is to say, you’re really interested in him as a person? Am I right?"

Right?

"Right your big ghost head. With his ’I can’t live without you’ look, do you think I’d be interested? The man I, Mia Rowen, like would be Mia Rowen herself. If I were to like anyone, it would be someone like your Brother Roy. The moment he makes an entrance, his aura alone could knock out a whole bunch of men!"

While saying this, Mia earnestly imitated the formidable aura Roy Thompson had shown when he made his appearance at their coming-of-age ceremony. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she quickly spoke up, "Speaking of your Brother Roy, he really is a top-notch man. He’s been abroad for so many years, and you haven’t had any contact at all—aren’t you worried?"

"You know, those foreign chicks are all hot-bodied, bold women. When they throw themselves at a man, they’ve got way more experience than we do. And you know, after a man passes puberty, his physiological needs become so obvious. Are you really that confident in your Brother Roy, not worried he’ll cheat on you outside?"

"No, he promised in front of me and my parents he would only focus on his studies, return soon, and not think about anything else!" Of course, Mia naturally didn’t know about their engagement, "I trust Brother Roy is a man of his word and won’t let me down!"

"Tsk, let down? You think it’s still the era where distance makes the heart grow fonder?" Upon hearing this, Mia really wanted to slap some sense into the girl, "Nowadays, what’s trending is distance creating mistresses. Girls pampered by their fathers are truly naive. I bet that your Brother Roy’s bed has had more than one blonde beauty on it by now. Why do you think he hasn’t made a single phone call in four years?"

Seeing Bella slightly dazed with her brows frowning, Mia continued with her one hundred love theories, "He’s just gone to America to attend university, right? How come there hasn’t been a single phone call? Can’t one make a call while studying? Don’t tell me you think because he’s pursuing a master’s or PhD, we can’t. Even us, in university, keep our phones on 24/7. Surely you don’t think America is a primary forest without any communication tools? Can’t Roy Thompson even afford a phone?"

Uh?

That made some sense, actually. Why hadn’t Brother Roy given her his contact information in America?

He had said that his coursework would be combined with specialized PhD training and would be very busy, so he wouldn’t have time for lengthy phone calls, and asked her to wait for him. Being busy was understandable, but being so busy that he didn’t have time for a single phone call? That was somewhat incomprehensible!

"Mia, do you think Brother Roy would find another woman to be his girlfriend?"

"Wrong, it’s that other women would find him to be their boyfriend, or even bed partner. A man like him, when he says he likes you, he really likes you, because there’s no need for him to lie. But that doesn’t mean he can resist all temptations when you’re not by his side!"

"So, what should I do?"

"Of course, go find him! Aren’t you close with his mom and dad? Just sneakily ask them for his address and surprise him. We’re about to graduate anyway; you could go as an intern!"

Deep down, Mia really hoped Bella and Roy Thompson would end up together. Although Morgan seemed hopelessly in love, seeing him unable to win Bella sure was pitiful.

But pitiful was all it was!

"Should I really go find him?"

"Of course, you think a good man doesn’t need to be watched over? Do you really think because he was yours in the past, he will always be yours?"

Bella Gordon: "..."

That did seem like a hard truth!

"Okay, when I go home today I’ll have my dad ask Uncle Thompson for Brother Roy’s address, and then I’ll go for a surprise inspection!"

It had been four years, indeed quite long enough. Things couldn’t continue this way without a hint of when he would return. Now that she was his fiancée, she had the right to check on him. Many of her classmates were preparing to get married right after graduation—settling down before starting a career was on her mind too!

Especially over these years, whenever she needed Brother Roy, he was never there, which only made her feel stronger about that.

"Yes, go for it!"

"Bianca, are you free tonight? I’d like to take you out to dinner!"

The moment their conversation ended, there he was, this eternally lovestruck guy, holding a large bouquet of roses, his face adorned with an awkward blush. The meaning was clear, no need to ask—it was another attempt at pursuit, another confession.

At the university campus, romantic confessions with flowers and candles happened every day, with guys standing outside the girls’ dorms shouting "I love you!" to the heavens.

"Um, Morgan, I have to go home for dinner tonight. If you don’t have anyone to dine with..." After rejecting him a hundred and eight times, Bella felt even she would be embarrassed to turn him down again, so she simply played dumb and then grabbed Mia Rowen, who always looked on with a smile, and pushed her towards the man, "Mia has nothing to do tonight; she was also looking for someone to eat with. You two can go together!"

Uh?

Hearing that, Mia Rowen immediately raised her little fist at Bella Gordon: "Say that again; I dare you?"
