Chapter 140 Gwenda, Be My Girlfriend


    Gwenda worried at her lip, her mind in chaos.


    "Hmm?"


    Olivier let out a hum that seemed to echo in the bathroom.


    Gwenda''s heart was fluttering like a hummingbird''s wings, her thoughts losing all coherency. "I— I..."


    "How about that?"


    Olivier kept pressing her, not giving her a chance to even breathe.


    Gwenda was out of options. She finally pursed her lips and looked at him, saying, "Fine, I admit that I


    like you, but I never thought of being in a rtionship with you."


    Olivier was stunned, and the smile dropped off his handsome face. "Why?"


    "Because I''m not ready to enter into a new rtionship."


    Gwenda revealed the misgivings that she had in her heart.


    Olivier frowned. "You don''t trust me?"


    "No, I don''t trust myself."


    Gwenda gazed at him and said in a slightly solemn tone, "Olivier, you know about what happened


    between me and Martin, and you know how much he hurt me.


    To be honest, I haven''t quite recovered from that yet. I don''t want to waste your time, and I am not


    worth your time anyway."


    She could not forget the pain from herst life.


    Now, she was afraid of taking risks, afraid of giving her heart and soul away so easily to another.


    Therefore, she did not even have the courage to try.


    "Gwenda."


    Olivier gazed at her deeply, his hand slowly rising up to caress her cheek. "I never once thought that


    wooing you was a waste of my time. On the contrary, ever since I got to know you, I finally realised how


    exciting the world could be.


    You don''t have to feel stressed out by this. Since you haven''t recovered from yourst rtionship, I


    can wait. I can wait for the day when you will be ready for me."


    Gwenda said, "But... I''m not worth it."


    "It''s not up to you to decide whether or not you''re worth it!"


    Olivier bent over slightly and touched his forehead to hers. "As long as I think that you''re worth it, then


    you are."


    "Olivier..."


    "Alright, don''t overthink it. And don''t feel like you''ve got a burden to bear. I''m an adult that can weigh


    the pros and cons for myself. The only thing you need to do is to figure out how you''re going to properly


    recover from your previous rtionship and enter into a new one."


    Olivier pinched her cheek yfully and smiled. "People are going to take things the wrong way if we


    stay here any longer. Let''s go."


    Holding her hand, Olivier left the bathroom with Gwenda.


    ...


    When passers-by saw them emerge from the women''s bathroom, they had odd expressions on their


    faces.


    Gwenda looked down in embarrassment, not daring to look them in the eye.


    ...


    When they got back to the private room, everyone saw their intertwined hands, and surprise shed


    across their faces.


    Jazlyn was the only one who had a knowing smile on her face as she moved over to the next seat to


    give them space. "Have a seat, you two."


    Under their intense gazes, Olivier took Gwenda''s hand and sat down with her.


    The moment they sat down, Jazlyn asked, "Miss Evans, why are your eyes red? Did Olivier make fun


    of you?"


    The crimson on Gwenda''s face spread to the back of her ears, the blush turning her ears red.


    Olivier turned to re at Jazlyn. "She''s shy. Stop teasing her!"


    ...


    Jazlynughed out loud as she asked, "So, are you two going to be official?"

    Olivier smiled and cocked an eyebrow. "I haven''t wooed her sessfully yet, so it can''t be considered


    official."


    "Stop it!"


    Gwenda tugged on Olivier''s hand as she felt like she was about to explode from embarrassment.


    "Okay, I''ll stop,"


    Olivier said affectionately as he ruffled her hair.
