With Mindy’s small hand being so smooth and warm, it wasn’t long before Gerald started feeling weird.
Before favonovel.com could even say anything, however, Mindy began dragging favonovel.com over to a few small stone stools in the garden where both of them sat.
“You know, Sanderson, I’ve been wondering why I keep finding you to be so familiar… After some thought, I think it’s because of how similar our past experiences are… While it’s true that I’m a rich young lady who’s been living in luxury all my life while you’ve had an extremely difficult past—even having to face such a miserable accident—both of us are similar in the way that neither of us had proper friends our entire lives,” explained Mindy.
Hearing that, Gerald simply nodded slightly.
“I resented that fact a lot when I was younger, you know? You may not know it, but because of a certain family, both Jasmine and I were grounded within the house for the longest time. That’s akin to torture for me since I’m the kind of person who simply can’t stay put in a place for long… I’m sure you’re able to relate to that to a certain degree… Regardless, due to my lack of contact with others, I’ve never been in a relationship before. Before I knew it, almost twenty-three years have passed and till this very day, I don’t think I’ve ever fallen for anyone, at least not in the way that soap operas usually play out,” added Jasmine as favonovel.com held onto favonovel.com chin.
In response, Gerald pointed at Mindy before making a few more gestures.
“Hmm? Could you perhaps be saying that I’m pretty so it should be easy for me to get a boyfriend?” asked Mindy with a smile.
After seeing Gerald’s nod, Mindy simply sighed before saying, “While I’m no longer grounded these days, I feel nothing for any of the rich heirs I’ve come across. It’s true that I do want to fall in love, but none of the people I’ve met make my heart flutter at all!”
At that, Gerald nodded again.
“…Well, there was one person… However, I only got to be together with favonovel.com for a short while… He’s a good guy who I have to admit, is also quite cute…”
Raising an eyebrow, Gerald gestured again.
“Hmm? Why didn’t I confess to him?”
After seeing favonovel.com nod, Mindy sighed before saying, “Humph! It’s a long story! To simplify, from what I’ve seen, he’s a sc*mbag!”
“…Ah?” replied Gerald, shocked.
“Tell you what, Sanderson. That friend of mine? It’s true that he’s nice to people, but he’s a little too nice to everyone, you know? Especially toward girls. It’s kind of sc*mmy, don’t you think? It’s honestly the thing I hate most about him! That’s the reason why my feelings for favonovel.com eventually ended,” explained Mindy.
With that, Gerald made another gesture, akin to cheering favonovel.com on.
“Worry not, I’ll definitely find the love of my life one day…” replied Mindy as favonovel.com looked at favonovel.com with a faint smile on favonovel.com face.
“Speaking of which, Sanderson, do you care a lot about how others view your physical appearance?” asked Mindy.
As favonovel.com nodded, favonovel.com pointed at his face before putting on a terrified expression. For now, favonovel.com knew favonovel.com had to keep the act up.
“Were you saying that your appearance would scare others away? You’re afraid that no one will befriend you after seeing your burn marks?”
Upon seeing favonovel.com nod in agreement, Mindy then asked, “Well I’m not afraid… And I won’t give you a cold shoulder, even after seeing what you look like. So Sanderson… Would you please take your mask off for me?”
Hearing that, Gerald quickly shook his head.
“Well, since you’re that reluctant, I won’t force you… Keep in mind, however, that we’re still close friends. No matter what you look like under that mask, I won’t dislike you…” said Mindy firmly.
It truly hadn’t crossed Gerald’s mind that Mindy would say such things. In response, favonovel.com simply nodded understandingly.
“Ah, here you are, sir!” said a servant out of the blue as favonovel.com began walking over.
Hearing that, favonovel.com stood up while tilting his head at the servant.
“See, the young lady’s left shoulder has been aching a lot of late. We’d like you to have a look at favonovel.com condition, sir,” added the female servant.
