Chapter 97

ZhengLi was momentarily at a loss for words, having never been in this situation before. His stomach was churning up, and a genuine uptight tension was growing out of control in his heart at the thought of not seeing her anymore.

“Look, you’ve got this all wrong. I’ve been working crazy hours. I thought you didn’t want me to call. I haven’t tried to sleep with you because…” He really didn’t know. At first, it seemed fun to make her want him more by not caving. Building the sexual tension between them. He figured they would last longer if sex was delayed, and then… something always held him back from taking the step, and he never examined it.

“Don’t go. I really did come to see you. I miss you. I’m sorry I haven’t been around and haven’t been in touch. I’ll make it up to you. I won’t do it again. Come on, why are you being this way?” He was floundering, not knowing what to say as he had never had to persuade a girl in his life to give him a chance.

This was all new.
