Bride to Be, Not Me

Chapter 163

There was a newfound femininity in Janice. Her gaze was softer and more alluring, exuding a sultry charm that could easily stir a man's heart.

Simon's heart trembled. Unable to stop himself, he reached out to take Janice's hand, but before he could touch her, she gracefully lifted her wine glass.

"This wine is quite good. It must have been expensive, right?"

"It's nothing. Janice, you won't lose out by standing with me. All you need to do is listen to me, and you'll have everything you want," Simon replied, his gaze fixed on her.

As arrogant as ever, he still believed that she loved him the most and could never let him go. Otherwise, why else would she be here having dinner with him?

"Listen to you?" Janice murmured, her voice light with amusement.

"That's right. Janice, are you drunk?" His tone softened, his eyes carrying a calculated warmth.

Her eyes seemed slightly unfocused. "It's not too bad."

Simon had been watching her closely. After a moment, he asked seriously, "Do you still love me?"

She slowly closed her eyes as if trying to suppress the dizzying effects of the alcohol. The intoxication was clearly setting in.

After a long pause, she finally opened her eyes and smiled, her face inches from his. "What do you think?"

Seeing this, Simon's confidence soared. "I think you still love me. After all, we have so many years of history together, right? That means... there are no secrets between us, correct?"

Her speech was slow as she countered, "Is there anything about me that you don't already know?"
