Chapter 232 I Admit I Like You. (Part One)


    Catching Capletely off guard, Johnny suddenly pinched her waist. This caused her to let out a


    soft groan due to the pain.


    Overhearing the sound of her voice, Marcus abruptly stopped in his tracks.


    "Johnny, if you''re nning on fooling around, go take her back to your room. Have some decency, will


    you? There are people here watching."


    "I understand," Johnny shrugged, acting so disappointed. Her voice actually got his engine running that


    he had a hard time trying to resist the temptation. He shot her a big smile and said, "Well, I guess I''ll be


    taking my leave now, Marcus."


    After saying that, Johnny sensually caressed her face. Then, he grabbed her by the arm and led her


    out of the room as she was dragging her feet.


    Ca was scampering close behind him, with her face red-flushed. It was apparent how flustered she


    was as she received the unsolicited nces of so many pairs of eyes.


    "Make sure not to look back." Johnny guided her, holding her delicate waist and whispered under his


    breath, "Marcus is quite skeptical and very perceptive. If he realizes something seems off, make no


    doubt about it, you''re going to get yourself in an awful lot of trouble."


    Ca had no other choice but to y along and went along with him downstairs. He shoved her into his


    car a bit hastily, got into the driver''s seat in an instant, and flung the door shut, putting the pedal to the


    metal. The car immediately elerated down the highway, making Ca feel as though they had been


    moving at breakneck speed.


    "Johnny, pull over!"


    Johnny red at Ca and snuffled, then he finally pulled over to the side of the road. Uponing to


    a halt, he turned to look at Ca, taking his hands off of the steering wheel. "If I''mpletely being


    honest, I truly admire your bravery," he smiled smugly. "How could you just sneak around and get into


    NF all by yourself like it was nobody''s business? Do you even realize some unthinkable things would


    have befallen you if I didn''t happen to be there?"


    "Yes. I sincerely appreciate your kindness, Mr. Johnny," she responded, albeit quite apathetically.


    Unzipping the ck backpack she had been keeping handy and inspecting its contents, she then


    proceeded to ce it on the backseat and nced in front of her.


    "Would you mind doing me just one more favor? Johnny, you''ve been scheming things along with


    Marcus all this time. I''ll let you off the hook despite everything that you''ve done if you lend me a hand in


    locating Terence."


    Johnny responded, seemingly disparaging, "Can''t you just use your head, stupid woman? A month has


    already passed since Terence had gone missing. There''s a good chance that he has died off


    somewhere by now. I think it would be best for you to just stop wasting your time." Hearing his words,


    Ca shrugged it off in dissent and utter not a single word. "Oh, what? Do you n to aimlessly die for


    your love or some other foolish reason like that?" Johnny remarked, shooting her an intense stare.


    Ca simply lowered her gaze, biting her lip quite hard. Then, she reached for the double fish bracelet


    she had on her wrist and rubbed it tenderly.


    "I guess you could say that. If he had really gotten killed, I would dly lie right next to him in the


    grave. There''s nothing in this world can ever tear us apart, not even death itself!" Ca eximed in a


    rtively low but somehow resolute voice.


    Clenching his jaw, Johnny suddenly grabbed her arm and tugged her closer. "Why would you go to


    such lengths? Tell me, what is it about Terence that makes him so great that you''re even prepared to


    risk all that you have for him? Why can''t you just simply ept the truth and move on?!


    Ca, I''m more than willing to offer you my love, money, and everything that I''ve got, that is if you''d


    want it."


    Johnny had his eyebrows deeply knit due to the way she was behaving. No matter how hard he tried,


    he just couldn''t lie to himself at all. The truth was that ever since the first time heid his eyes on her,


    this girl had taken his breath away instantly.


    On their second meeting, he could barely even take his eyes away from her. And finally, the third time


    he saw her again, he could tell as clear as day that he had already fallen so madly in love with her.


    He couldn''t get her out of his mind anymore, not even in his dreams, ever since that fateful day.


    And in particr, whenever he would go and hang out with other women, he wouldn''t be able to focus


    his attention on them. It appeared as if he had already lost interest in other girls.


    "Hah! Do you honestly think that you''re actually in love with me? Or could it be that you''re just


    crept on Ca''s face. She got away from his clutch and leaned back on her seat feeling so dejected.


    Infuriated by her remarks, Johnny scowled at her in silence without saying anything back.


    "Tell me the truth. You really fancy me, don''t you?" Ca went straight to the point and asked him


    bluntly.


    Johnny just quietly sat still and shifted his gaze away with a bit of a bashful quickness. His reaction only


    helped to prove that her guess was indeed true.


    "See that? You really do like me, but you don''t even have the guts to say it right in front of me. I had no


    idea you were this much of a scaredy-cat, Mr. Johnny." Ca scornfully sneered, stroking her throbbing


    wrist. What she intended to do was to pressure him into spilling the beans.


    Carefully, Johnny turned to look at her directly, letting out a heavy sigh. He couldn''t do a thing but raise


    the white g. "Okay. I''ll admit it. You''re not quite like the other girls... You stand out among the rest.


    You hold a special space inside my heart," he replied, trying to dodge her question somehow.


    "And?" Ca urged him to continue. Resting her chin on her hands, she had eyespletely fixated on


    him, waiting for him to answer.


    Johnny took one big gulp. His palms were beginning to sweat a little and his heart started racing upon


    hearing her remarks.


    He had always been such adies'' man and had always been a master of flirting with the girls. Never in


    his wildest dreams would he have imagined that he''d end up feeling so nervous in front of a woman.


    "Well," he forced an awkward cough to clear his throat. "Yes, I...I truly do adore you with all my heart."


    Johnny, who was desperately trying to avoid getting in her line of sight, tightly gripped the stirring

    wheel.


    He liked her so much. Truth be told, he had always been crazy about her. That was the main reason


    why he concurred with Marcus'' plot to get rid of Terence. To put it inly, he wanted to make her his no


    matter what.
