Chapter 1640

As she trudged along, her suitcase was suddenly yanked from behind. Whirling around, her heart sank when she

saw it was Garrett. Despite the annoyance bubbling inside her, she managed a polite tone. “Garrett, let go, please.”

But Garrett’s grip on her suitcase was unyielding. “Not a chance!”

Skyler despised Garrett’s clinginess, akin to a sticky band-aid that just wouldn’t come off. If it were up to her fiery

temper, she’d tell him off in no uncertain terms. However, having grown up without much protection, she had

learned to swallow her anger, almost forgetting she had the right to express it. “Garrett, I am asking you to let go!”

He was as persistent as ever, and her efforts to shake him off were in vain. “Sky, ever since I met you, I can’t

concentrate on anything, not even my morning coffee or my mom’s apple pie. I think I might have fallen for you.”

Skyler almost laughed at the absurdity. Since when does liking someone become so easy as breathing? “Garrett, we

barely know each other. You don’t know me, and I don’t know you. What could you possibly like about me?”

Garrett was blunt. “You’re pretty.”

So, it was all superficial attraction. With a smirk, Skyler replied, “Aren’t there plenty of pretty girls you’ve come

across?”e2

Garrett admitted, “Plenty.”

“So you think I’m prettier than all of them?” She prodded.

“No, not really.”

“Then what’s the point of you hassling me right now?”

“I want you to become my girlfriend, of course.”

“Have you always been this reckless and thoughtless with girls you found attractive?”

“You’re the first.”

“Because I seem easy to bully?”

“You do look like an easy target, but that’s not why I’m interested in you. Sometimes, it’s all about the spark. I felt it

the moment I saw you…”

“You like me? Would you marry me then?” Skyler challenged.

The concept of marriage had never crossed Garrett’s mind. “Whoa, we’re not at that stage yet. We’re just talking

about dating here.”

“I date with marriage in mind. Don’t bother me again if you’re not up for that.”

“Your ideas are so old-fashioned. These days, people want to date around while they’re young. They don’t want to

end up with regrets when they’re old.”

Skyler tugged her suitcase back forcefully. “Garrett, if you want to play the field, find someone who’s up for the

game. I’m not into games, and I certainly don’t want to play.”

Garrett stepped in front of her, blocking her path. “But I want to play with you.”

“Do I look like the kind of woman who falls for any guy who snaps his fingers?” Skyler challenged, her patience

waning.

“I never said that. I told you, I’ve been thinking about you non-stop. I think I’ve fallen for you, and I want to see

where this could go.”

“Did I ever tell you I’m engaged?”

“So what if you are? Tell me who your fiancé is. If I know who he is, I promise I can make him call off the

engagement without tarnishing your reputation.”

Skyler stared at him, her voice rising with exasperation. “Garrett!”

The way you said my name is really sweet.”

Skyler composed herself. “I know the Horton family has clout here in the Capital. And I’m aware that with your

status, you’ve got girls lining up for you. But regardless of who you are, you can’t make every girl fall for you. We’re

talking about real life, not some soap opera… and taking what you want by force isn’t love, it’s a crime.”

Garrett burst into laughter. “Skyler, I’m just trying to woo you, to be your boyfriend. How did this turn into a talk

about coercion?”
