SWNOVELS Chapter 317
Chapter 317 He Still Keeps Thinking About It
Aracely did not answer. She threw herself into his arms and said in a muffled voice, "Winston, didn't you say that you were going to marry me?
"I want you to fulfill your promise now."
A smile appeared on Winston's face.
It seemed that he had made the right move.
"But I have promised to get engaged to Reina." Winston looked embarrassed.
Winston continued, "Didn't you just say that she and I are a perfect match?"
Aracely cursed, "Nonsense."
Winston frowned and could not help but pretend to be serious. "Be more careful with your words."
Aracely was dissatisfied in her heart, but she still listened to his words. "You and Reina are not worthy of each other."
Winston said unhurriedly, "You said that Reina and I were a perfect match just now."
"I was just speaking nonsense." Aracely rubbed her head against his chest. "Even if that is the truth, you are not allowed to go back to her."
Aracely thought for a moment and added, "It doesn't matter if you go to her. Anyway, she lost to me last time when we played cards, and she still owed me a bet. When I go back, I'll ask her to break up with you."
Winston wore a smile, and his eyes were full of affection. "On Anaya's birthday, you had this idea, right?"
"Yes, at that time, I wanted to pull you two away from each other. I want you to marry me," Aracely argued.
Aracely continued, "If you don't marry me, I will tell my parents about you being raped by me and ask them to drive you out.
"When you are penniless, I will see if Reina will be willing to marry you."
Aracely did not want to care about anything now and just wanted to keep Winston.
She did not want Winston to be engaged to Reina.
She didn't want to see him being so intimate with another woman.
Winston had doted on her for eight years.
Aracely wanted to hide him so that no other woman could take him away from her.
Winston listened to her carefully and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
What did she mean that she raped him?
Winston remembered clearly that he was the one who took the initiative that night.
If he was unwilling, how could she, a little drunkard, have the strength to rape him?
Winston did not explain. He stretched out to hug her, and he felt that his heart was full of happiness.
"You like me, do you?"
This time, Aracely did not avoid the question. She said directly, "Yes."
"Why didn't you admit it before? Since you wanted to pull me away from Reina, why didn't you do so?" Winston tightened his grip on her as if he wanted her to be a part of his body.
"I know you well. If someone dared to steal your things, you would have rushed up and snatched them over. Why didn't you do that?"
Aracely felt that Winston had demonized her and wanted to refute it.
But after thinking about it carefully, Aracely felt that Winston's words made sense.
She had always had a bad temper.
Winston was the only one who was willing to bend toward her.
Aracely didn't refute and turned to answer Winston's question, "I didn't fight with her because you like her."
Speaking of this matter, Aracely felt a little jealous and lowered her voice. "You have liked her for eight years. I can't break up a couple."
Forced love did not last. Aracely didn't want to force him to marry her.
But now...
No matter what, Aracely just wanted to keep him by her side.
She didn't want other women to marry him.
She did not believe that Winston could keep thinking about Reina.
Hearing Aracely's words, Winston raised his eyebrows and said, "I have only known Reina for six years. Why did you say that I liked her for eight years?"
Reina was his university classmate, but they had not even talked a few times when they were at university. They occasionally met and nodded to greet each other at most.
Aracely was stunned. "Didn't you say before that you liked a girl for eight years? The girl you like is not Reina. Why are you dating her?"
"I just want to provoke you by dating her." Winston's brain worked quickly, and he soon understood the deeper meaning of her words. "You always want to push me away because you think I like another girl, right?" "Other than this, what else could it be? Since the girl you like is not Reina, who is it?" Aracely asked.
Winston looked at her and did not speak.
After they stared at each other for a few seconds, Aracely suddenly understood it.
It occurred to Aracely that Winston had known her for a total of eight years.
It would mean that Winston fell in love with her at first sight.
Aracely thought that Winston took her as his younger sister, but in the end, he treated her as his future wife.
"You fell for me when you were sixteen, did you?"
Aracely still felt that it was a bit inconceivable when she asked this question. In the past eight years, she had not been aware of it.
Aracely thought that Winston was a sly guy.
Winston tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and replied gently, "Yes."
Aracely had mixed feelings surging in her mind. She was surprised and angry.
"If that's the case, why didn't you tell me?"
"I thought that you knew it."
Winston had told her about this before, and he had even emphasized "eight years."
He didn't expect Aracely to be so stupid and didn't understand at all.
"How could I know that you fell for me the moment you saw me in my home? I am not smart, but why did you beat around the bush with me?" Aracely angrily pushed all the blame onto him and then smirked.
"Winston, did you fall in love with my appearance at first sight? I was pretty at that time, so you fell in love with me at first sight, right?"
Winston said resolutely, "You weren't good-looking back then." Aracely was at a loss for words.
She thought, I have to break up with him!
Cannot be with such an insensitive man!
Aracely was so angry that she completely forgot that she had not started dating Winston yet.
Seeing that Aracely was angry, Winston could not help but laugh.
His laughter was pleasant and warm, like the warm spring water in early spring.
Winston lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Well, well, I don't mind if you are ugly."
"You are the ugly one."
As Aracely spoke, she raised her foot and kicked him.
Winston furrowed his brows and snorted.
Aracely thought that she hurt Winston and instantly regretted it.
"Does it hurt?"
"It hurts. If you kiss me again, it shouldn't hurt anymore,"
Winston said seriously.
Aracely wasn't a fool, so she could tell that he was joking. She pinched his waist again.
"I was wrong," Winston said helplessly as he grabbed her hand.
Aracely let out a low snort, acting as if she could do anything just because he indulged her.
Even though she pretended to be ill-mannered, she secretly rubbed his waist where she had pinched him just now.
As she rubbed, she continued the previous topic, "Since you didn't think I was pretty, why did you like me?"
Winston recalled what had happened in the past and was a little dazed. "Perhaps it was because you were the first one to smile at me when I arrived at the Tarleton's place."
At that time, Winston had just lost his parents. Those relatives who always fawned over his family all changed and wanted to kick him out. No one was willing to adopt him. During that time, Winston had seen the ugly faces of his relatives.
When he was young, he was always sensitive. The death of his parents and the abuse of his relatives were enough to destroy the whole world of a boy.
On the day he arrived at the Tarleton's home, perhaps Aracely was just like usual, smiling at every stranger.
However, the ordinary smile was deeply imprinted in Winston's heart.
After so many years, he still kept thinking about it.
