Chapter 517


    Chapter 517 Would You Like to Officially Date Me?


    Aletta and the others suddenly left, and Flora and Ray naturally noticed. However, they didn’t have time


    to pay attention as their gazes remained locked on each other. After all, this wasn’t an ordinary


    question, and if Flora missed this opportunity, she felt she might not have the courage to ask again.


    So she waited for Ray’s answer, but she was also feeling a bit nervous. She didn’t even know what


    answer she wanted to hear.


    Ray seemed to be thinking the same way. He remained silent for a while, and in Flora’s anticipation, he


    finally spoke, “What if I say, yes… what would you do?”


    Flora was dissatisfied with this answer. What kind of response was that? Yes or no, could it be that


    simple? She was impatient and, bolstered by the courage from drinking, pressed on, “So, do you like


    me or not?”


    Ray stared at her without giving a direct answer and instead asked, “What answer are you hoping to


    hear?”


    Flora pursed her lips, looking conflicted. Ray looked at her and spoke gently, “If you want to hear ‘like,’


    then I’ll say ‘like’ If you don’t want to hear it, then it means I don’t like you.”


    This time, Flora understood. She smiled and said, “Oh, so that means you like me?”


    Ray also smiled, not denying it. His beautiful eyes carried an


    expectant look as he waited for her response. Against the backdrop of fireworks, his smile seemed to


    possess a certain charm that made Flora’s heart beat faster.


    Although she already knew his answer, she didn’t know what to do at this moment. How should she


    respond to him? Flora hadn’t figured it out yet, and Ray noticed.


    Not receiving her answer after a long wait, he couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed. Was he being


    too impatient? He sighed and didn’t want to push her. He had to let it go for now and change the topic,


    saying, “It’ste. Let’s go back and rest. It’s a bit cold outside. Don’t catch a cold!”


    After speaking, he patted her head and turned to leave. Floral watched his slender figure and suddenly


    felt an emptiness in her heart, as if something was slipping away from her grasp. She panicked and


    became a bit flustered. Taking a few steps forward, she grabbed his sleeve and said, “Wait!”


    Ray halted his steps, turned to look at her, and asked, “What’s


    the matter?”


    Flora opened her mouth but found herself unable to speak. It was the first time she realized she could


    be so nervous, even sweating in her palms! She took a deep breath to calm down before finally finding


    her voice and said, “Then… should we give it a try? Turn this fake rtionship into a real one? Date


    and see how it goes?”


    When Ray heard these words, a flicker of emotion passed through his eyes. However, he didn’t give an


    immediate answer. Instead, he asked her, “Do you know what you’re saying?”


    Flora held her breath and nodded seriously, saying, “I know… it’s just that I don’t know if you’re willing.”


    After all, when ites to rtionships, it’s serious for everyone. Who tries it out?


    But she wasn’t sure herself about how she truly felt about him, so she could only say this.


    However, it couldn’t be denied that the thought of developing a real romantic rtionship with Ray


    didn’t repel her, and in fact, there was even some anticipation.


    Ray looked deeply into Flora’s eyes without an immediate response.


    Only he knew how excited his heart was in that moment.


    He was practically ecstatic!


    But his rational side forced him to restrain his emotions!


    He remembered thest time, what happened between them after getting drunk.


    To avoid a repeat of that and her denying it afterwards, he pretended to be calm and took out his


    phone, opening the recording function. He said to Flora, “Say again what you just said, and I’ll record


    it.”


    “???” Flora looked at Ray’s actions, her face full of question marks.


    She even wondered why he was being such a buzzkill!


    Finally, she took the initiative for once!


    Was It necessary to do this?


    Flora’s expression suddenly became somewhat resentful.


    Ray, on the other hand, exined with a serious tone, “In order to prevent you from forgetting


    everything after sobering up likest time, and using me of being the one who mistreated you first, I


    have to…”


    Upon hearing this exnation, Flora couldn’t help but find itughable and frustrating.


    She raised her hand to assure him, “Don’t worry, I’m not drunk tonight.”


    Ray, however, still didn’t believe her and persisted, “I don’t trust your alcohol tolerance, so speak!”


    Flora sighed helplessly and reluctantly went along with him, saying, “Ray, are you willing to give it a try


    and date me?”


    Ray recorded the words he wanted to hear, feeling satisfied. He immediately saved the recording, put


    away his phone, and then looked at Flora, nodding solemnly.


    “I’m willing!”


    As soon as he said that, he couldn’t hold back anymore and reached out to lift Flora’s chin, finally doing


    what he had been holding back for so long!


    With a dominant yet gentle kiss, their lips intertwined.


    Flora widened her eyes.


    Clearly, she hadn’t expected such a sudden gesture from him.


    Ray saw her expression, his eyes filled with a smile, and said, “This is the first kiss after officially


    starting to date, close your eyes.”


    Flora’s eyshes fluttered a few times, obediently closing her eyes. Her restless hands, seemingly


    conscious of their ce, grasped his shirt in front of his chest.


    The two of them embraced and kissed under the splendid lights.


    Between their lips and teeth, there was the scent of alcohol…


    The saying goes, “Alcohol doesn’t inebriate people, people intoxicate themselves.” At this moment,


    Flora truly understood the depth of that statement.


    The two entangled with each other, feeling each other’s breath, engaging in intimate activities between


    lovers.


    After a while, Flora was almost out of breath, and only then did Ray release her.


    “You’re so clumsy! Kissing requires breathing, you know?”


    He teased with disdain in his mouth, but his eyes held a hint of amusement, making him seem quite


    happy.


    Flora was teased, but she didn’t argue. She confidently replied, “Well, I don’t have experience like you


    do. I’m not as experienced as you!”


    “Who says that? I don’t have much experience either… If we talk about practice, it’s only with you. At


    most, I’ve watched a few tutorials!”


    As he said this, Ray was eager to try it out. “Well, how about we practice a few more tinovelxo fast


    updatemes?”


    Flora blushed, which was rare for her, and said, “Who wants to practice with you! I’m tired and want to


    go rest!”


    After saying that, she pushed Ray away and started walking.


    Ray felt a bit regretful, but he didn’t insist. After all, these things needed to progress step by step.


    Soon, he caught up and held her hand, saying, “Are you walking steadily? Let me hold you!”


    Flora nced at him and didn’t refuse.


    As they walked downstairs, they happened to run into Aletta…


    Aletta had just looked in on the four children, making sure they were asleep, and was about to go back


    to her room. She didn’t expect to see the two of them walking hand in hand.

    Moreover, her best friend had a flushed face and red lips.


    As someone who had been through it before, she immediately understood the situation and couldn’t


    help but tease, “Oh? Have you two be a couple?”
