Chapter 1159 What if I Don't Want To?

Jenny knocked on the door before entering. Jade had already gotten changed. "Why aren't

you having fun downstairs, Jenny?"

"I'm here to check on you and also to look for Stephanie," Jenny answered. She was not

deliberately trying to ruin Jade and Max's first night as husband and wife. It was rather

because Max was still drinking with his friends downstairs at that time, so Jenny felt it was

not too good to leave Jade alone and came upstairs to check on her.

"What's up with Stephanie?" Jade asked.

Jenny shook her head. "Nothing. She probably went somewhere with Leonard."

Jade was not worried anymore when she heard that Stephanie was together with Leonard.

’I didn't know Leonard before this, but I can tell through this wedding that he really likes

Stephanie. I just don't know when he's planning to tell her."

Everybody could tell. It was to the extent that even Stephanie, herself, knew about it.

However, Leonard would not take the initiative to confess to her, putting Stephanie in a

tough spot.

"Mmhmm. Let's just wait and see. I'm sure he can't hold it in for much longer." Paul was

still eyeing Stepanie. Jenny simply didn't believe that Leonard was not worried about that.

While chatting, both of them came out of the room and returned to the party downstairs

again.

Stephanie was a little confused when Leonard brought her to the backyard. "Why did you

bring me here?’

Compared to the lively front yard, the backyard was much quieter. There was almost

nobody in sight.

She was having a blast watching the kiss when Leonard dragged her away.

"I just have something I wanted to say to you." Leonard was a little drunk when he said

that.

Stephanie blinked and said uncertainly, "Are you sure you want to do it here?"

She felt that the time and place were not quite suitable. However, Leonard looked like he

could not wait any longer anymore.

"Stephanie, do you...have someone you like right now?" Leonard asked in a reserved

manner.

Stephanie almost rolled her eyes at him. She thought, "If I do have someone I like, why am

I still wasting my time with you here?"

"No," Stephanie said.

At first, Leonard was happy. However, he immediately thought of something, and he

became sullen. "No? What do you think of me then?"

Stephanie looked at him suspiciously and was straightforward with him." Leonard, if you

want to tell me that you like me, just tell me straight. Don't beat around the bush."

She didn't like such an indirect confession like what Leonard was doing. If he liked her, he

should just confess to her straight away. Why did he ask her what she thought about him?

What if she told him he wasn't that great? Was he going to give up?

Leonard didn't expect to get such a reply from Stephanie. He suddenly did not know what

to do. "Stephanie, l-l-l just..." He was so nervous that he could not speak clearly.

Stephanie was speechless. She might as well say the words for him, "You want to say that

you like me, right?"

Leonard kept nodding his head. "Yes, yes."

"Just tell me directly then. Why did you have to beat around the bush?" She was a person

who liked to be direct.

Leonard's face flushed as he was a little embarrassed. "I was afraid that you wouldn't say

yes."

When Stephanie saw Leonard's cheeks turning red, there was a moment where she could

not tell who was actually the one being confessed to. She was not blushing at all, but his

cheeks were already red.

"Stephanie?" Leonard was on tenterhooks as Stephanie remained silent. "I want you to be

my girlfriend. Do you want to?"

"What if I don't want to?’ Stephanie rolled her eyes at him.

Leonard was stunned. Once again, he didn't know what to do. "If you don't want to be my

girlfriend, we can first be friends. I will wait until the day you say yes."

"Leonard, you're the deputy commissioner no matter what. Are you usually this shy when

you work your cases?" Stephanie could not help but ask him. He was indeed not too

similar to the impression of a deputy commissioner she had in mind.

Leonard was stunned, and then he immediately shook his head. He was not like this when

he was working on his cases.

"This is my first time confessing my feelings to someone, so I'm a little nervous," Leonard

told her honestly.
