Chapter 938: Chapter 917: I Like You, Not Love You!

"That’s not the same as admitting it!" When she heard him say that, Chani Gordon suddenly snapped back to her senses, as if she’d grasped what he meant, "If you like her, why don’t you just say it outright? Even if she likes my brother, so what? My brother doesn’t like..."

She hadn’t finished her sentence when she heard Rio Gordon roar!

"Who said I don’t like her!"

He had had enough tonight, a woman, a useless sister, and a provoking man had all made him neurotic.

"Brother, you like Senna Leon?" Chani’s eyes had finally come back into focus, "Do you really like her? Why do I feel like you’re just saying that out of anger?"

"For you, I could like her!"

Chani Gordon: "..."

What does it mean he could like someone for her sake? Just because he likes Senna Leon, does it mean Owen Hayes could like her too?

Chani Gordon didn’t feel happy about the hope sparked by this logic; on the contrary, her mood became even heavier!

"Bro, if you don’t like her, you don’t like her, there’s no need to sacrifice yourself for me!" Chani admitted, although she really liked this God she had been chasing for a long time, if he already had someone he liked, there was no point in forcing it. It was just like how Uncle Fabian used to like Mommy!

But Mommy only liked Daddy, so in the end, Uncle Fabian gave up and discovered Auntie Lina standing beside him; she was the one truly suited for him. Daring to love and to hate doesn’t mean one has to painstakingly chase someone who mentally already belongs to another!

She admitted that she was shattered when she first heard those words, but as a few seconds ticked by, she suddenly realized she wasn’t so shattered anymore!

"He’s not sacrificing anything; he didn’t say he would sacrifice!" Owen Hayes reached out to ruffle her unguarded head while chuckling softly, "He just confessed that he likes her himself, stop flattering yourself!"

"You’re the one flattering yourself, you liar, get off, don’t touch my head!"

Owen Hayes: "..."

Did her emotions recover this quickly?

Was her ability to heal this strong?

Just now she looked utterly hopeless and crushed, and now all of a sudden she’s fine? Even telling him to get lost?

"After just forcefully kissing me, now you’re telling me to get lost. Are all you Gordons so irresponsibly stubborn?" Owen frowned lightly, "Was it not your first time, just as it wasn’t mine?"

Rio Gordon: "..."

He seemed to have figured out what was going on!

So the ’first time’ these two kept talking about was just a kiss? And here he was, thinking his sister had been taken advantage of!

Damn, Rio Gordon felt like he could cough up blood!

"Is a man’s first time not as precious as a woman’s?" Chani turned her head away dismissively, not sparing him a glance, "Besides, I genuinely like you; to you, a heartfelt confession was just something handed to you on a platter. But it’s different for me; if you don’t like me, a kiss without feeling is just a piece of flesh. So, with my kiss of true love, I kissed a piece of your flesh!"

Owen Hayes: "..."

Her kiss is one of true love, and his became flesh?

Is she really this unreasonable?

"Who told you that yours is the only true love’s kiss, and mine isn’t?" Owen looked deeply at her before replying indignantly, "Mine was also a kiss of true love, okay? Who says that just because you like me, I can’t like you back?"

Chani Gordon: "..."

Who made that rule?

It’s just that this news was so explosive that she found it hard to believe it was true!

"Owen Hayes, this joke isn’t funny at all?"

"I also think this joke isn’t funny, which is why I don’t want to play any jokes!" Owen Hayes gazed at her deeply, and seeing that she was still behaving indifferently, he sighed faintly, "Senna Leon is how old? Younger than you, and I’m older than you. Would I be interested in a little girl whose development is still immature?"

Chani Gordon: "..."

So, because Senna Leon’s development was immature, hers was mature?

Chani Gordon looked down at her slightly protruding, rapidly growing career line; it seemed indeed a bit more mature than hers. But wait...

What on earth was she thinking about?

Chani Gordon was speechless, when the man’s soft laughter reached her ears once again: "Moreover, the laws of our country have not reached the degenerate level of allowing incestuous relationships!"

Incestuous relationships?

Upon hearing these words, Chani Gordon suddenly understood everything. Was the reason she was so unused to the quickness and nearly fought with her brother because he and Senna Leon were blood relatives?

Which meant Senna Leon was his cousin?

"Yes, that’s what you’re thinking. She’s my little cousin!"

Owen Hayes spoke calmly with a smile, and then reached out to her again, "Now, do you want to get up?"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!"

It didn’t matter anymore; she should get up no matter what. Chani Gordon instantly leapt up and clung to his neck, "Then you have to carry me in!"

"I won’t!"

"Didn’t you just say you like me?" Chani Gordon carefully recalled the meaning behind his words, which seemed to imply that, "Since you like me, and I am pursuing you, shouldn’t you agree to me?"

"Agree to your nonsense!"

Owen Hayes lightly tapped her nose with his finger, laughing as he spoke, "At such a young age, liking someone just means liking them. No agreements needed. Focus on your studies, don’t waste time on meaningless things!"

Meaningless things?

How could dating be considered meaningless?

But, it seemed that she might indeed be a bit young!

"But you’re going to university soon, and you won’t be at the same school as me. If we don’t define our relationship, you might forget about me!"

"Define the relationship? You’re how old? Defining a relationship now would be considered puppy love, which would get you pulled into a parent-teacher conference. Go study properly. At your age, aside from studying well, you can’t do anything else!"

Chani Gordon: "..."

It really seemed to be true!

Just a high school student, not even eighteen years old, not yet an adult!

"Okay then, I’ll work hard to get into your university!"

Having said that, she bounced away and ran back to the house, leaving Owen Hayes alone, standing there in a daze, his mind full of thoughts. In this life, now at the beginning of youth, there lies a long road ahead, with many long encounters. Many, many good girls will appear, but why does it seem like he doesn’t look forward to that scene all men await? He simply wishes that his life would pause at this most beautiful point of youth, with a girl who would say to him, "I like you," not "I love you!"

Many years later, Owen Hayes would realize that numerous ’I love you’s’ couldn’t outweigh the purity of a single heartfelt ’I like you’ from his youthful days.
