Waiting For a Girl Like You

Afraid that he would fail, he didn't dare to see her in person.

He was afraid that if he met her, it would be too cruel to leave. But he had to shoulder the responsibility of the Qi family who needed him. There was no balance between the two. Unless, of course, she decided to return home for good.

"What's wrong, Cody? Are you reluctant to be away from me?" Sally prompted gently, pausing for a second. Then she went on with a smile etched on her lips, "I don't want to leave you, either. But we've grown up, haven't we?"

Growing up was an inevitable part of life. And at this stage, they had to face a lot of things. She could choose to escape from the past, but now it was impossible.

Sally could only shrug mentally as she even had to learn to give up someone she had loved for a very long time.

"Yes, we have," Cody nodded while looking at her familiar, beautiful face and appreciating it. He could see that she had become more mature.

"So, have you decided to marry me?" Cody exclaimed rather offhandedly, but his tone sounded sincere.

Unexpectedly, that single question made the air between them freeze.

As soon as she took a sip, her phone suddenly rang, clearing her muddled mind in an instant.

"Sally, are you upstairs?" It was a call from Adonis.

"Yes. What's wrong?" Sally asked worriedly, suddenly felt alarmed, hearing his brother. She was leaning against the head of the bed. And she leisurely drank her beverage while talking on the phone.

"Oh, remember this. If someone gives you drinks, don't drink them. I just saw a woman furtively hand a drink to the waiter and asked him to bring it upstairs. I guess there is something wrong with the drink,"

Adonis warned her calmly.

"Puff..."

Sally reflexively spat out a mouthful of juice and frantically eyed the remaining half of the iced watermelon juice.

"What... What did you say?!" Sally stammered as her eyes widened in disbelief.
