Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 725

Chapter 725 Side Story: Efforts in Pursuing Her 7

Yelena simply let out a scoff without responding to him. When Federick saw the look on her face, he figured that she probably wasn't all that hurt. He felt some relief upon realizing that. "What made you come on this date, anyway? Is it because you've lost feelings for him?" Federick noticed how he still held some hope for her after he uttered his thoughts.

However, the woman twisted her face into a frown. It didn't seem like she was the one who wanted this date. "Do you seriously think I'm here to meet someone? I wouldn't have shown up if my parents hadn't insisted I come. This is just a meal, anyway; we're not actually getting married," Yelena replied.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Federick's expression. "That's fine. This doesn't mean anything to me either. If we're done here, I think the both of us can head off first."

Yelena responded with a tiny nod. "Why don't we sneak out now? I think our dads are coming back soon."

"What's the rush? Do you really hate spending time with me that much?" Federick sneered. "Does it seem that way? Didn't you say that this means nothing to you? I just don't want you to waste your time here," Yelena replied as she got to her feet. When the man didn't budge, she tugged on his arm. "Come on. I don't think this dating spot is a nice place for us to catch up. Why don't we go somewhere else?" she suggested.

Federick finally stood up rather unwillingly after hearing what the woman said. He drove his car over, so Yelena made her way over to his vehicle before inviting herself into the ride. "Where are we going?" Federick put his seatbelt on before he raised an eyebrow and questioned the woman.

Yelena looked up at the skies for a while. We wasted some time traveling over, and we wasted more time staying in that restaurant, but I think I know a place that would be perfect for us now. She curled her lips into a somewhat mysterious smile. "I know a place." About an hour later, their car pulled up in front of Luna Bar. There was a hint of confusion on Federick's face as he got out of the car. "Since when did you start drinking?"

Previously, when Yelena was studying overseas, she wasn't the most obedient girl, but she also wasn't the type to visit bars all the time. Federick felt like he no longer knew the woman when he saw how familiar she seemed with the route that led them to the bar. He couldn't stop himself from lecturing her a little. "You're a young lady. Do you know how dangerous these bars are? What are you going to do if you bump into some nasty guys? Furthermore, you're always dressed in such a flashy manner! I'm worried that you might attract some bad attention. On top of that, you're also an actress! Aren't you afraid that others might see you at a place like this?"

Yelena rubbed her ears. "Alright, alright. Stop nagging. I'm a grown woman, so why can't I come to a bar? I'm not here to do anything nasty, anyway."

Federick stuck his hand out to give her a gentle flick on her forehead when he saw the stubborn look on her face. "I'm nagging you for your own good, so you should really listen to me."

"For my own good, huh?" Yelena rolled her eyes. "Elspeth is the one who owns this bar, so I'm not worried about my safety at all. If anyone harms me here, Elspeth can probably take down their entire family," she explained. Federick seemed a little more reassured after hearing that the bar belonged to her best friend.

"Well, come on. I told you that I wanted to take you out for drinks." Yelena tugged on the man's sleeve and dragged him into the bar. "I know a few bestsellers here. I'll pick them out for you," she offered.

"I don't even know if you brought me here to catch up, or if you just wanted a drinking buddy." Federick couldn't stop himself from nagging her a little more. Even though he was full of complaints, he still allowed her to lead him into the bar. To his surprise, the bar wasn't as rundown as he had expected it to be. If anything, it seemed well-kept. It wasn't a wine bar, yet it seemed to have the class and cleanliness of one. Federick couldn't help but feel impressed by Elspeth's abilities.

Yelena led Federick to her usual spot. That particular spot had a perfect view, especially when there were performers at the bar. She often enjoyed sitting in that spot while watching performances on the stage. Unfortunately, it had been a while since she last visited this bar. She used to drop by with Hank, but things had changed, and the person who used to accompany her was no longer around.

Yelena tried her best to conceal her sorrows, but Federick still noticed the look on her face. "What is it? Aren't you happy to catch up with me?"

"That's not it. I was just reminded of some stuff." Yelena picked up her glass of alcohol and took a huge gulp. The taste of alcohol in her mouth was a little too strong, so she ended up choking and coughing. "This drink burns! Why is it so strong?"
