After the idle chat, Andrea began to express concern about Suzie's situation, asking, "What's going on between you and Moe?"Suzie sighed and replied, "It's a bit complicated to explain. To put it simply, I like him, and he likes me too. But he seemed to have some worries and rejected my feelings.""And you didn't press him for an explanation?" Andrea inquired."I did ask, but he didn't give a clear answer. He's quite stubborn, and no matter how many times I asked, he won't tell," Suzie admitted, her fingers fiddling with her phone. "What if this act you and Brandon are putting on doesn't work?" Andrea was more worried about this. Suzie had already thought about this and responded, "If it doesn't work, then I'll just keep waiting. I'll wait until Moe's willing to marry me. If he never does, I'll keep waiting."Andrea and Frederick exchanged glances, and they could not help but feel mixed emotions. Andrea asked, "Can't you consider liking someone else?" Suzie sighed. "If it
[Morgan: Getting rejected is not a big deal. Just wait for the next person you like.]"I should unfriend you! The way you talk is just like the person I like. It's easier said than done!" Suzie deliberately teased, letting out the pent-up frustration.Moe was stunned, wondering if he had exposed himself. Realizing he only had this one alternative account, he quickly sent a message, [As the saying goes, fate brings people together. If my previous words upset you, I take them back.]Suzie chuckled. What a fool!She toyed with her phone, looking around as she came up with a plan. "Are you handsome?"[Morgan: I'm okay.]Suzie quipped, "So you're not handsome, then?"[Morgan: Many people compliment my looks, but I consider myself average.]"Send me a picture. If you're good-looking, I won't unfriend you. If not, I will," Suzie continued the conversation via voice messages.Moe was in a dilemma. He could not possibly send a picture of himself. He could already imagine that if he d
Moe could not help but wonder if he caused this. After careful consideration, he sent a message, [Can we meet in person?]"Sure," Suzie replied. She was determined to shake things up a bit more. "I'll book a hotel room and update you on the room number later."Listening to her message, Moe hesitated. His heart felt heavy.Suzie knew these words would impact Moe, but she had to say them. Moe was a complex guy; if she did not push him a little, he might never reveal his true feelings.Life was unpredictable, and she did not want to settle for a dull existence over the next few decades. Hence, she had to make her move.Suzie called to book a room and then changed into an attractive yet slightly seductive outfit, putting on a captivating makeup look. Fortunately, it was almost summer, so her choice of attire would not leave her feeling cold.When Frederick and Andrea saw her looking so stunning as she left, they exchanged puzzled glances. Frederick could not help but ask, "Where ar
Suzie stopped him, asking, "What are you doing?""I'm the person you were waiting for," Moe replied in a cold tone, continuing to stride inside.Suzie was taken aback. She had not expected him to admit it so quickly. She closed the door behind him and pretended not to know what was happening."Are you Morgan Snyder?""Yes," Moe admitted, his gaze sweeping across the room, taking in the petals, fragrance, and ambient lighting. Everything was meticulously arranged."You lied to me?" Suzie continued her act."It was my fault, and I'm sorry," Moe said, noticing the room's setup and feeling a sinking sensation in his heart. His tone grew even colder as he added, "Do you know what will happen if you invite a man into such a room?""I do," Suzie replied, nonchalantly sitting on the nearby sofa. Her emotions remained remarkably steady. "I personally had the room prepared this way.""Suzie!" Moe's voice slightly rose.Suzie looked at him calmly, "What's wrong?""I know I hurt you an
Suzie did not rush him, giving him the time to think it over."Sorry, I only have feelings for you as a classmate and a friend," Moe repeated, as he had before."Swear on it." Suzie wanted a straightforward answer.Moe spoke earnestly, "I swear.""If you ever develop romantic feelings for me, I'll never be happy for the rest of my life," Suzie said, her knack for pushing his buttons evident.Moe stayed silent.Suzie did not press him further, giving him time to process his feelings."I'll take you back." Moe changed the subject, not wanting to dwell on this matter any longer.Suzie removed the jacket he had lent her and handed it back to him. "No need. You can go back on your own.""Suzie.""Either stay and finish what we started, or leave and don't disrupt me with someone else.""You can't make rash decisions...""Get out!" Suzie cut him off, her tone stern. She could not understand why he kept rejecting her. Was there nothing about her that attracted him?"Don't be angry
"These three are the takeout," Zoey said with a straight face.Moe gave them a quick once-over. The three men? Takeout?Zoey did not want to waste any more time with him. So, she dialed Suzie's number and informed her that they had arrived. Suzie immediately opened the door. Seeing Moe blocking the way, she pushed him aside and welcomed them in, "Come on in.""Wait a minute," Moe quickly intervened, stopping the guests in their tracks.All eyes were on him.Moe glanced at the three handsome men and then turned to Zoey. "You can go in, but they can't.""Why can't we go in?""Suzie, isn't your bodyguard being a bit too much?""That's right!"The three men voiced their complaints.Moe frowned. He noticed their tone and asked Suzie, "Have you hung out with them before?" "Yes!" Suzie intentionally wanted to mislead him, acting nonchalant, "Whenever I go out with Zoey, these three are usually around."One of the men was her cousin, and the other two were Zoey's cousins. The
What if those guys have bad intentions?"I really don't want to order you around, but your presence is seriously affecting our gathering. If you don't leave, I'll call security," Suzie said slowly and directly, her tone calm but firm.With a somewhat puzzled yet cute expression, Moe replied, "I haven't said a word."Suzie asked, "If the person you like stood before you, could you remain indifferent?"Moe was about to respond, but his words stuck in his throat.Suzie intentionally made her words even more direct and harsh. "You won't marry me, yet you keep appearing before me. Are you trying to string me along so I can never forget you for the rest of my life?""No," Moe retorted. "Then just leave, and don't let me see you," Suzie blurted out.Moe fell silent, and the atmosphere in the room grew tense. After a while, Moe glanced at the three men and said coldly, "You three, come with me.""We..." The three men wanted to refuse, but their sentence was cut short when they felt t
"Suzie's had a bit too much to drink. Can you keep an eye on her for me?" Zoey came to the door and informed Moe, adding a little sense of urgency, "I have some family matters to attend to and need to leave.""Sure," Moe agreed without suspicion.Zoey thanked him and departed but did not go far. Instead, she booked a room downstairs, and their cousins each took their own rooms as well. While Suzie trusted Moe, Zoey still had some doubts.They stayed close, ready to intervene if Suzie needed them.When Moe entered the room, he found Suzie sitting on the floor. She leaned on the table, toying with her wine glass. He approached her, adjusted her suit jacket, and took away her unfinished drink."What are you doing?" Suzie slurred her words, still pretending to be intoxicated.Moe helped her to her feet. "I'll take you home.""No!" Suzie pushed him away, and her balance wobbled.Seeing that she could not stand steadily, Moe frowned.Suzie continued with her act. After a few minutes
