Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 434

Chapter 434 Obsessed With Her

On the other hand, Elspeth didn't bring anything with her when she was kidnapped. At that moment, she wondered what Gilbert had written on the back of the love letter. However, she knew Gilbert wouldn't lie, so she said helplessly, "I understand now."

"You don't understand. If you did, you wouldn't be acting like this toward me now. You wouldn't have fallen for—" Gilbert abruptly stopped speaking, realizing he was crossing a line.

Still, she understood what he was trying to say. "It's been a long time. Let's leave the past in the past. Keeping it in our hearts is also a beautiful memory." That was what she truly believed. Even though she now knew about his feelings for her, it was too late. In addition, she no longer had romantic feelings for him.

"Is that really what you think?" His voice was filled with disappointment.

"Of course. As I said, we're good friends now, and friendship lasts even longer than romance." Elspeth laughed it off, trying to brush the matter aside.

Nevertheless, Gilbert insisted on saying what was on his mind, which was likely due to the influence of alcohol. "I've liked you for a long time, even longer than you've liked me. I kept it to myself so that you could concentrate on your training. Then, when I found out that you had written me a love letter, I was over the moon. That night, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep and wrote a response on the back. Despite this, I never imagined that you would ignore me once you got the letter. I thought your feelings had faded, so I didn't bring it up... I had no idea you never even saw my reply." Gilbert's voice trailed off, and she could imagine the look of disappointment on his face.

However, at that point, no matter how moving and sincere he spoke, her heart could no longer be stirred. "Thank you for liking me." She didn't know what else to say. His unexpected confession caught her off guard.

Suddenly, he laughed and said, "Just take it as my sincere words to you. You don't have to respond."

Nevertheless, he didn't need a response from her. He only needed her to know how he felt, so he wouldn't regret anything.

She immediately felt relieved after hearing that. "Are you drinking outside now?"


He nodded but suddenly realized he was making a phone call, and she couldn't see his actions. So, he said softly, "Yeah, I'm at Luna Bar."

"Well, get some rest after you're done drinking. I've never seen you drunk before."

Gilbert nodded, chuckling mischievously. "Are you worried about me?"

"Nah. I'm afraid you'll get into trouble on my turf, and I'll have to bail you out." Elspeth rolled her eyes and continued, "Okay, it's getting late. If there's nothing else, get some rest."

He suddenly realized more than an hour had passed. "I'm going to bed now. Goodnight."

"Goodnight. Remember to get some rest." Following that, she hung up the phone.

On the other hand, his smile slowly disappeared when the call ended, and he slumped back in his seat. Empty wine, whiskey, and even a few sake bottles were scattered over the table. He then grabbed another bottle and started drinking, his face flushed. When he was almost unconscious, a woman stumbled and fell into his arms.

So, he held the warm woman in his arms with a sly smile. "Do you like me?" he asked.

He was very handsome, and this smile made the woman's heart skip a beat. "Y-Yes, I do," she stammered.

Then, he lifted her chin and gazed at her rosy lips. "Tell me, what do you like about me?"

Nonetheless, she had never heard such a direct question before, and her face turned red. "Because you're handsome," she blurted out.

"So, you like me because I am good-looking. Does that mean you like anyone who is good-looking?" Gilbert asked.

Hearing that, she shook her head vigorously. "No, it's not like that. I like you because you're extremely handsome," she explained.

"So, you like someone who's extremely handsome?"

Soon, the woman felt something was off about that question, but she nodded anyway.

He clicked his tongue and used his free hand to lightly stroke her cheek. "Too bad you're not pretty enough," he said. Soon, his fingers trailed down her neck, adding, "Your chest isn't big enough. Your waist isn't small enough."
