Chapter 79: Can I or Can’t I 2 Chapter 79: Can I or Can’t I 2 In Victoria Garcia’s eyes, Ham Reed’s face kept magnifying, again and again… For three years in college, Ham Reed was the boy who pursued her the longest, second only to Alexander Mitchell.
“Ham Reed, I want to tell you seriously, I am that kind of woman.”
Her words cut his heart in half like a sharp sword, bleeding uncontrollably.
“No, you’re lying, I don’t believe it!” Ham Reed growled in desperation.
Victoria cast a casual glance at Ham Reed’s despairing eyes, and replied in a nearly cold tone, “What you see is the truth, and I, Victoria, am the kind of woman you least want to accept in your mind. Behind that luxury car is my Golden Master, the life I want is something you, as a poor student, can never provide.”
“I, this kind of woman, will never suit you, and you should know yourself, you should decisively give up on me, find a girlfriend who suits you.”
Victoria wanted to tell him, find a vivacious girl, one whose laughter shines like sunlight. With such a girl by your side, your life would definitely be happy.
But these words, she would only keep to herself.
“Victoria… Your heart is really cold like an ice cave. Each of your rejections so cruel, not even leaving a little room for imagination,” despair filled Ham Reed’s eyes.
His voice was quivering, “The first time I saw you, you were holding an Economics textbook when you walked into the classroom, your face was pure as the sky after the rain. The moment you walked past me, you shattered my heart. Since then, I couldn’t look at any other girl. I always thought that if I’m good to you, you’d be moved eventually. But reality is far too different from what I imagined.”
“There was Alexander Mitchell pestering you before. He’s gone now, and yet you tell me…”
Looking back at their first encounter three years ago, it still made Ham Reed’s heart flutter.
But the thought of her recent words sent a chilling sensation through his heart.
Ham Reed gave a bitter smile, laced with self-deprecation.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t tried giving up, but he failed every time. He can’t stop thinking about her, even if all she does is give him a cold glance. Just one glance is enough to excite him for days.
“Victoria, give me time, I will work hard, I will give you the life of the rich, I swear it.”
Victoria believed his vows, believed every word he was saying at the moment.
“My ride’s arrived.”
Her voice was neutral, with a straightforward remark, she delivered the most cruel rejection.
Without taking another glance at him, Victoria turned around and started to leave after her words.
But this time, Ham Reed didn’t let her go as usual. He took two steps forward and suddenly reached out to grasp her hand.
His sudden move caught Victoria off guard. Before she could dodge, he had already gripped her hand. His palm was wide…
This was the first time Ham Reed had been so close to her, even holding her hand, which was delicate, cold.
The temperature of her palm, just like her personality, was icy, but he still wanted to warm her.
“Don’t leave!” Ham Reed’s voice tinged with a hint of pleading.
