Chapter 1096

Author: Little Treasure
Suzie continued, "That's why…"

Moe had not expected her to have feelings for Yoel, especially since their past interactions had always been purely friendly. Then, he asked, "So, what's your plan next?"

Suzie replied simply, "Just taking it one step at a time. How about you?"

"What do you mean?"

"If someone were to confess their feelings to you, but you didn't feel the same way, what would you do?"

"I would thank them for their feelings and politely decline."

"Would you avoid them?"

"Why would I need to avoid them?"

Suzie was surprised by his response. "Aren't you afraid they might persistently pursue you and invade your life?"

Moe responded in his usual direct manner, "Why should I? I've already turned them down and won't give them any encouragement. If they continue to pursue me, they're the ones who will get hurt."

Suzie probed further, "Couldn't you give them a chance to get to know you? What if you discover their good qualities and develop feelings for them?"

    Moe wore a light beige round-neck knit sweater paired with casual light-colored pants, giving him a slightly less aloof and more youthful appearance. This version of Moe had a subtle resemblance to his teenage self."From now on, you should dress like this when you're not at work," Suzie suggested. She found Moe's new look quite appealing, reminding her of his younger self. "Don't dress in suits and ties all the time."Moe admitted, "I'm not used to it." He did have casual clothes, but they were mostly dark in color. His outerwear was predominantly black, while his underwear was usually white.Suzie teased, "Don't you like the clothes I got you?""It's not that.""So, will you wear them in the future?"Moe initially wanted to say no, but when he saw Suzie's clear and slightly playful gaze, he gave in, saying, "Yes.""That's better." Suzie chuckled. Over the next two days, Moe did not go to work. Suzie initially considered asking him why, but when she saw that he truly had free

    "The company isn't mine; I'm just an employee. He's not capable enough to join Arch International Group. By the way, don't make promises to anyone so casually," Moe stated directly, choosing not to disclose his shares."Moe!" Eddie was getting angry.Moe remained silent.Eddie took a deep breath, visibly displeased. "Do you still consider me your father?"Moe's grip on the phone tightened, and a hint of emotion flickered in his typically cool eyes."I don't care if your cousin is qualified or not to join your company; you need to get him in for me," Eddie insisted bluntly.Moe remained cold. "It's not my concern. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."Eddie raised his voice. "I dare you… I've raised you all these years, and you won't even help me."Moe remained silent. After some time, he finally uttered, "Did you really raise me?"Since that cold night when he was five years old, Moe had not been cared for by anyone. If it were not for Cynthia, he might not even exist."F

    [Cynthia: He's a workaholic. Even if I ask him not to work, he'll still sneak in some work. But now, he's willingly setting aside work to spend time with you.]Based on her intuition and knowledge, Cynthia believed that Moe liked Suzie. It was just that he might be emotionally dense and had not realized it yet.Hearing Cynthia's assessment, Suzie's heart fluttered. [Suzie: So, should I confess my feelings to him?][Cynthia: Why not give it a try?][Suzie: I'll think about it.]Moe was also done preparing their dinner as Suzie ended her conversation with Cynthia.In just ten minutes, Suzie had finished her meal, eager to have a serious talk with Moe."Do you not like today's dinner?" Moe was surprised to see her eat so quickly and asked."I liked it. You go ahead and eat. I need to talk to you afterward," Suzie replied, her mind preoccupied. Moe, noting that she was serious, focused on his meal. Once he finished, Suzie called him into the study. The atmosphere was tense, and

    Nonetheless, Suzie was not a quitter; she had another trick up her sleeve."Why don't you like me?" Suzie asked.Moe uttered, "No connection, no spark.""Are you sure?""Mmhmm..."In truth, Moe was not entirely sure. However, he knew one thing for sure—Suzie deserves someone better.Suzie was hurt, but she pinned him against the wall and, under his cool and composed gaze, kissed him. Moe's body tensed, and his heart raced at an unusually high rate."Still no spark?" Suzie asked.Moe pressed his lips together, remaining silent. The two of them stood there in a standoff for quite some time.Eventually, Suzie retreated to her previous position, her expression a mix of disappointment and self-mockery. "Was the kiss just now repulsive to you?"Moe still did not speak, having not fully recovered from the sudden kiss.Suzie sighed, her voice low and hoarse. "Sorry… Forcing a kiss on you like that was probably gross.""No!" Moe quickly spoke up, his voice slightly raised.Suzi

    "What are you doing?" Suzie looked puzzled as Moe dodged her.Moe avoided her gaze and casually replied, "Men and women shouldn't get too close.""Quit pretending. You didn't seem to mind when I kissed you just now. Why didn't you mention that then?" Suzie called, moving closer to him again.Moe remained silent.Suzie continued, "And another thing...""What?" Moe's mind was jumbled up, and he could not think straight."If I'm not mistaken, you enjoyed that kiss. So, it means you like me," Suzie boldly said, locking eyes with him."No," Moe quickly denied. Suzie could not understand. "Why won't you admit it?"Moe fidgeted with his hands, pursed his lips, and finally said, "I don't like you.""If you truly didn't like me, you would've pushed me away quickly or shown some sign of disgust when I kissed you just now. Didn't you say that only Cynthia and I are exceptions in your life?" Suzie concluded and pressed on. Moe looked at her.Suzie asked, "If Cynthia were single now a

    Moe looked at Suzie as if questioning why she had dragged him into this.Suzie could not quite grasp what he meant and asked, "Are you still sticking to what you said earlier?""I don't like you. All of my reactions just now were because I promised to be your boyfriend," Moe repeated, delivering the hurtful words and secretly apologizing."Could you be more sincere?" Suzie could not understand why he was saying this."This is how I truly feel," Moe replied matter-of-factly."So you're saying that if I don't ask you to pretend to be my boyfriend, you won't let me kiss you, right?""Yes.""Fine, I don't need you to pretend anymore.""Okay."Throughout the entire process, Moe remained surprisingly composed, his eyes devoid of any emotion. Suzie, feeling a mixture of anger and frustration, stood on tiptoe and attempted to kiss him. This time, Moe stopped her. "It's not appropriate.""Moe!" Suzie was getting angry.Moe remained unyielding, standing there to stop her like an emo

    Amidst a swirl of emotions, Moe asked, "Have you made up your mind?""Mmhmm." Suzie nodded."I'll drive you there tomorrow. You can stay here tonight," Moe said as he closed her suitcase and set it down.Suzie stopped him. "That wouldn't be appropriate."Moe lowered his gaze, masking his complex emotions behind his cool demeanor. Suzie did not press the matter; she knew he needed some pushing. Earlier, she had not actually called Brandon but just pretended to do so."Then wait here for me. I have some things to attend to. After I'm done, we can talk in detail," Moe finally spoke after careful consideration. He chose to say 'talk in detail' instead of 'send you', knowing Suzie's personality well. If he had said he would come back to send her, she would surely have said she would call a driver to pick her up.Suzie looked puzzled, wondering what could be so important that he had to attend to now.Moe did not offer much explanation. After speaking, he took his car keys and left.

    "Cut ties with your girlfriends, commit to Suzie wholeheartedly, and I can help you resolve the issues with your startup company. But if you mistreat Suzie, I have many ways to make your life miserable," Moe said straightforwardly. Brandon became increasingly confused as he listened. He was about to speak when the door suddenly swung open.Suzie rushed inside and wasted no time in confronting Moe. "Is the thing you have to attend to concerning Brandon?" "No," Moe lied again, his domineering aura dissipating instantly."Then why are you here?" Suzie questioned."He asked me to cut ties with my girlfriends and focus solely on you. When did I ever…" Brandon chimed in teasingly."Shut up!" Suzie silenced him sharply.Brandon wanted to protest but restrained himself, especially after seeing Suzie's stern gaze."Now that you've made your intentions clear, let me make mine clear too. From now on, I don't need you to interfere in my life. I hope you won't involve yourself in my affa

    Isabella glared at Nick. He actually betrayed her! Caught off guard by Luther's honesty, Nick quickly explained, "Don't look at me like that. Luther forced me to do it. If I didn't agree to his request, he would've spilled my past to my current girlfriend.""Current girlfriend?" Isabella looked puzzled.Nick confessed honestly, "My new girlfriend."Isabella was at a loss for words. Nick was very handsome. His looks could rival top celebrities. Naturally, with his face and charisma, he had no shortage of admirers. That led to a habit of frequently changing girlfriends."I made my rules clear to her. No shady behavior allowed," Nick added quickly, sensing what Isabella was thinking.Hearing this, Isabella did not say much.A moment later, Luther, seeing that their conversation had wrapped up, took Isabella's hand and left. On the way back, he deliberately brought up the topic of proposals."What kind of proposal do you like?" Luther asked."Anything works," Isabella replied

  • Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money   Chapter 1501

    There was a time when Isabella considered letting Luther propose to her. However, he had not shown any signs that he would or asked for her ring size. There was no need to overthink it; that fool probably had not even thought about it. Nonetheless, Isabella did not blame Luther. After all, she was well aware that everyone expressed love differently. Yet, that was also precisely why she wanted to propose to him, to make him understand just how much she cared."What's wrong?" Annie asked, concerned."I'm just worried," Isabella replied. The ring sizes had been a constant worry for her."Because of what you just mentioned?"Isabella nodded. "Yeah.""Why do you want to propose to him?" Annie looked toward a dark corner. "In most relationships, the boyfriend proposes to the girlfriend, right?""I want him to feel loved," Isabella answered simply.Luther was different from most people; he always suppressed his negative emotions and limited his freedom. He no longer wanted to restr

    "No," Luther declined; he still wanted to be the one proposing to her."Okay," Joshua agreed readily.Luther nodded, letting his mind wander. In the following days, Isabella kept checking on the progress, each time being informed that there was no opportunity to measure Luther's finger.In the blink of an eye, three days passed.Cynthia and Matthew had a conversation with Isaiah.Due to prior preparation, Isaiah handled Cynthia and Matthew's questions smoothly. Although they knew Isaiah had not been entirely truthful, based on his attitude toward Sandra, they agreed to the marriage without excessive probing into his relationship with her.As for Isabella, she waited for a few days but had not received any news. Frustrated, she decided to go to Jiverton herself to find Luther.When Joshua heard about her plan, he asked her to give him a bit more time. He assured her he would have the sizes by next Friday at the latest."Really?" Isabella was worried about running out of time.

    "Okay." Isaiah already had a plan in mind.After discussing the matter, the two did not say much more. In the following two days, Cynthia and Matthew stayed home while Isabella prepared the details and processes for the proposal.However, after going through the general plan, Isabella suddenly realized a problem. She did not know Luther's ring size. How could she prepare a ring for the proposal without knowing the size?Realizing this issue, she immediately thought of flying to Jiverton to find out but hesitated due to Luther's caution. If she returned so soon after just coming back, he would surely be suspicious. After much contemplation, she came up with a solution—Joshua.When Isabella called, Joshua happened to be having a meal with Luther."I'm not busy, what's up?""I need your help with something," Isabella said, trusting Joshua's abilities, "but Luther can't know about it."Joshua instinctively glanced at Luther.Luther was confused. He glanced at Joshua's phone and

    "Quit the act," Matthew said to Isabella, "It's too bad."Isabella stayed quiet. Matthew bluntly stated, "Isaiah currently oversees the company, and the annual revenue has been consistently increasing under his management. He even took a few subsidiaries public.""And?" Isabella inquired."He has a talent for this," Matthew hinted, leaving Isabella puzzled as she struggled to keep up with Matthew's pace."He's barely in his twenties, so there's no rush to get married," Matthew explained. He saw through everything, understanding Isaiah well, adding, "If there were truly such a concern, he could easily establish a company under Sandra's name in the next few years, operate it until it goes public."With Isaiah's abilities and connections, starting a company and taking it public would be a simple task. After the IPO and proper management, Sandra's value would naturally rise. This would effortlessly 'shut their mouths'. Isabella wanted to say something, realizing her dad's words

    "That depends on the secret he's keeping," Matthew responded immediately, taking the opportunity to tease Isaiah, "If it's something against our moral values, it'd be hard not to form an opinion, even if we try not to.""He's not that kind of person," Isabella defended Isaiah.Matthew did not respond but just sat there. Their father-son dynamic involved banter and teasing, but when it came down to it, they genuinely cared about each other."He's just worried that you might object to Sandra's background," Isabella continued to spin her tale convincingly.Cynthia and Matthew were confused, both staring at Isabella.Isabella felt a bit uneasy. Something seemed off with her parents' expressions. "What's wrong?""Are you sure Isaiah is worried about this?" Cynthia asked.Why was their beloved daughter so bad at lying? Not catching on, Isabella nodded, "Absolutely.""Setting aside the fact that we've always taught you not to treat people differently based on their family background

    "Ah, I see." Isabella breathed a sigh of relief and purposely asked, "Is it possible that Isaiah got to know Sandra through Uncle Yves and Uncle Sean?""It's unlikely," Cynthia denied. Even though they had not arranged any blind dates or rushed Isaiah into marriage, given his personality, he would not seek an introduction from anyone."Whenever you have time, ask Isaiah to bring his girlfriend home," Cynthia said, truly wishing for her children to find happiness. Isabella agreed, "Sure.""Isabella," Cynthia suddenly spoke up.Putting away her plan book, Isabella responded, "Hmm?""Do you think I look stern?" Cynthia sounded gentler than usual, lacking the usual nonchalance.Having been accustomed to being herself, Cynthia found it a bit awkward to take on the role of an elder suddenly. If she left a bad impression on Sandra during their first meeting, it could easily jeopardize Isaiah's relationship."Not at all," Isabella spoke sincerely, looking at Cynthia affectionately. "Y

    Isaiah had seen through their plans. He knew that his parents' friends enjoyed watching him banter with Matthew. Every time something was like this, they would eagerly make things difficult for him.Early the next morning, Mitchell and the others began implementing the plan. Initially, Matthew did not suspect anything and thought they genuinely had urgent matters to attend to and brought Cynthia back home first.Considering Luther's upcoming proposal, they decided not to travel the world but instead explored nearby cities. After Mitchell and the others called Matthew aside, Isabella approached Cynthia. Cynthia was surprised to learn about Isabella and Isaiah's plan."Aren't you afraid of getting in trouble?" Cynthia asked."Not at all," Isabella responded very directly, her mind focused on planning her and Luther's engagement. "Isaiah said he can handle this matter, so let's discuss the proposal first. I've thought about several options, but none seem good enough.""Okay," Cynth

    Isaiah was surprised."Take her to shoot wedding photos first," Isabella suggested seriously. After giving it some thought, Isaiah said, "I'll ask her during dinner.""Why bother asking?" Isabella thought Isaiah's emotional intelligence was lacking, and Sandra's expectations were too low. "Just pick a few reputable studios and let her choose one she likes."During their conversation, Isabella noticed that Sandra was slightly anticipating a wedding, although she had refused for some unknown reason. If she was not truly opposed to weddings, there should not be an issue with pre-wedding photos."If you give it directly to her, she'll probably say she doesn't need it," Isabella coined. She could see through people and was quite clever.Isaiah clearly did not consider this possibility."Take a look at these studios. My friends suggested them," Isabella had already made the selections and recommended them to him. "Weren't you against my decision before?" Isaiah, not understanding h
