Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

"Anthony, thank you for treating me to dinner tonight. You're such a gentleman for escorting me on a walk!"

An obvious smile appeared on Isabella's face as she gently held onto his shirt. She then stared deeply into his eyes as though she had fallen in love with him.

He responded with a faint smile while he extended his hands and pulled out a lock of her hair that was tucked under her coat, "No, I'm the one who's supposed to be thankful instead. Isabella, you're such a wonderful young lady! It's my pleasure to have met you. If it wasn't for you..."

If it wasn't for her and Mr. Grint's help, his bank loan wouldn't have been approved that easily. At long last, there was finally hope for him. The approval of his loan was indeed an accomplishment. He only wished that the loan would've been approved earlier.

As he looked at Isabella, Anthony felt a pang of guilt rooted in his words. He was ashamed that he took advantage of her feelings for him. Frankly, he did not feel the same towards her at all!

Her cheeks were flushed as she swiftly interrupted him, "Don't worry about it, Anthony! You don't have to be so courteous with me, I'm more than willing to do anything for you!"

She bit the corner of her lips while she looked at him shyly.

"Isabella..."

Her delicate voice made him feel even more guilty than before, "Actually... I'm sorry. I'm just..."

Uncertain with his words, a twinge of hesitation flashed across his eyes while he clenched his fists tightly and said, "What I'm trying to say is... Could we start as friends? My feelings for you are actually..." The words were on the tip of his tongue, yet he couldn't bring himself to utter them! On the other hand, the desperation in Isabella's eyes, who stood in front of him, made it harder for him to confess the cruel truth. Besides, there were more urgent matters in hand for him to worry about currently. After all, he needed her father's help to apply for the bank loan too!

At the same time, the Clements family was onto pressing matters as well!

With a faint bitterness in her smile, she grabbed his wrist and spoke.

"Anthony, I understand! You really don't have to say another word. Please don't be pressured to repay me. I'm merely doing this by my own will! I'm genuinely happy that you've already treated me with such kindness..."

At least he wasn't deceiving her with his persuasive words! On the other hand, she firmly believed that he was worth it. She was convinced that her efforts would pay off eventually! Besides, it wasn't a big deal if a lady had feelings for a man anyway.

As she stared deeply into his soul, fire lit up from the bottom of her eyes as though she was determined to win his heart.

At that moment, he was as still as a statue while his eyes were also fixed on her.

While tiptoeing, she took the initiative to gather her courage as she tenderly kissed him on his forehead. She then held onto his arms while she smiled.
