Chapter 651: The Person I Like

Lucas didnt expect Connor, a handsome n.o.bleman who had gotten married and had a child a long time ago, would pay attention to the gossip of wealthy families.

Connor also seemed a little embarra.s.sed. He laughed and said,

Ahem

, this isnt really a secret. Back then, many major families knew about it. But based on the way they handled it afterward, it should be the Walkers at fault.

Kenneth also nodded. That should be the case. Nate isnt a good person at all, and hes definitely considered a playboy among the scions of his generation. Hes so much more of a womanizer than I used to be.

Noticing Lucass bizarre gaze, Kenneth coughed twice and hurriedly said, Im no longer the same as before, and Ive long kicked a lot of my bad habits. But according to a few of my friends, Nate is still a womanizer who has plenty of lovers out there. Were all men, and we can tell that he was obviously lying about loving Alexis.

Besides, given the status of the Walkers, Nates marriage will be nothing more than an alliance between two families. He was obviously lying about being in love with Alexis. Im certain that Nate Walker did this on purpose!

After all, Kenneth was also a scion of a wealthy family, so he knew Nates mentally very well.

Although what Kenneth said about marriages in wealthy families being nothing but loveless alliances between families didnt sit too well with Lena, she had to admit that what he said made sense.

If Nate really fancied Alexis, he could have confessed to her at any other time, but he chose her 20th birthday party. Clearly, he had an ulterior motive.

But it was true that not everyone present could be so insightful.

Many young women in their twenties were impressed by Nates behavior and were rather bewildered by Alexiss decision to reject him on the spot.

Seriously, isnt Alexis being a little too heartless? Nate has already said all of that, and he even specially chose to confess to her on her twentieth birthday. Isnt it really romantic!?! Why did she turn him down?

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Nate is from a top-tier family in San Francisco! If he proposed to me, I would definitely say yes to him without a second thought!

Hey, Miss Cole is just too condescending, and her standards are too high. If even a man like Nate cant even impress her, what kind of man does she want? She really doesnt know how lucky she is.

Most of them were young women who were hopeless romantics that cared only about love. Although their voices were soft when they gathered together to chat, Lucas had an impeccable sense of hearing, so he heard everything they said clearly.

He smiled a little with contempt before turning around to look at Alexis to see what decision she would make.

Alexis wasnt touched by Nates pestering and clingy confession. Instead, she was extremely disgusted. Nate, do you not understand human language? I said that theres no misunderstanding between us, and Im repulsed by everything you do!

Dont treat me like a silly young girl or try to coax me like Im one. You know best just what your motive is. Dont take everyone for a fool!

Nate clenched his teeth with all his might before barely managing to control his expression.

Alexiss disgust toward him was really far beyond his imagination, making him furious.

I may be at fault for that incident, but two years have pa.s.sed since then. Why is Alexis still being so calculative and bearing a grudge against me?

After taking a deep breath, Nate continued to act like a devoted lover and said with determination, Alexis, I know that no matter what I say today, you will still have misunderstandings about me, so I wont go on any further. I really adore you, and I want you to be my wife. Ill never give up on this!

Alexis was about to hit the roof because of how shameless and thick-skinned Nate was.

Does this shameless man not understand English?

Arent my disgust and rejection obvious enough? Why does he keep talking and acting like hes so devoted to me?

Seeing the pretentiously devoted look on his face, Alexis felt nauseous.

Nate, thats enough! No matter what you say, I wont like you because theres someone else I adore. So, just give up! Alexis hollered in exasperation.

What? Theres someone you like? Nate was stunned for a moment, and a fleeting trace of anger suddenly surged in his heart

But he soon came back to his senses and said with an affectionate expression, Alexis, I know youre upset with me. But even so, you dont have to turn me down with such an excuse, do you? I know you wont fall for someone else.

With his understanding of Alexis, the n.o.ble little princess of the Cole family, who had high standards and wouldnt take ordinary people seriously, he felt that she wouldnt easily fall for anyone. He thought so because she had always been hostile toward him even though he was self-admittedly outstanding and had put in so much effort to pursue her.

Thus, Nate was very certain that Alexis must have said it as an excuse to reject him.

The others in the hall also started discussing Alexis.

Does Alexis really have someone she likes? Ive never heard her mention it before. I wonder which scion it is.

Who knows? Were pretty close to Alexis, and weve never heard her mentioning anything about having a crush on someone! Could it be that shes just finding an excuse to turn Nate down, just like he said?

Thats hard to say. Just because Alexis doesnt like Nate, it doesnt mean that she cant be in love with someone else, right? But its her birthday today, so the person shes in love with should also be here, right? We just dont know who he is.

Whats going on? Is Alexis going to announce the ident.i.ty of her crush today? The scions of California are all here today. That means Alexiss crush must be here too!

But Nate should have the highest status in the whole of California, right? If Alexis doesnt even like Nate, which scion do you think she would fall for?

While everyone was discussing, Alexis suddenly said sneeringly, Nate, do you think I must be in love with you? Let me tell you. The person I like is really right here!

Then under everyones surprised gaze, Alexis walked straight toward a spot near a corner.
