Chapter 75 An Interrupted Confession (Part One)

"I have to go, Sophia." Fiona waved at her friend as she slung her bag over her shoulder.

"How about you wait for me? I’ll go out to buy some dinner from a nearby restaurant. I’m a little tired of the food from the school canteen." Sophia leaped off the chair.

"Okay." Fiona nodded, then turned to Ella. "How about you, Ella?"

"You two go. I’m sticking to my diet."

"Oh okay. Be safe!" As they walked out, Sophia asked, "Why did you want to go home tonight?"

"Spencer’s there," Fiona confessed.

"I knew it!" Sophia clapped. "Why do you listen to that guy? He does nothing but threaten you."

"Nope," she replied, smiling faintly.

"Why are you siding with him all of a sudden?" Sophia blinked and looked at Fiona with a snicker. "Have you two been romantic since he saved you in Maple Mountain?"

"Right," said Fiona in a joking tone.

Sophia smiled broadly. "By the way, who called you just now?"

"Ryan said he wanted to talk. He told me he was waiting for me at the main gate."

"Oh my gosh, Fiona." Sophia shook her head. "One is your husband, the other is Ryan! I say this without any ill will, I really do envy you."

"What are you jealous of? Didn’t you tell me that someone confessed to you yesterday?"

"Oh come on! If that guy was half as handsome as Ryan and half as powerful as Spencer, maybe I’ll consider him." Sophia pursed her lips and sighed. "I just remembered...I don’t know how George is doing."

"George, huh. You still remember him," Fiona mumbled.

"Who wouldn’t miss such a handsome guy?" she replied without a hint of shyness.

Fiona smiled softly.

They laughed as they strolled to the main gate. As they got closer, they noticed the students running to the fountain square.

Sophia craned her neck, eyes glinting with curiosity. "It looks like there’s something going on over there! Let’s go look!"

Fiona stood on tiptoes. "I’ll leave you to it. I’ll go fin

anywhere in the crowd.

With slight pink on his cheeks and a determined expression, Ryan walked squarely towards Fiona.

"I’ve always wanted to confess my love to you like this. I want everyone to know my feelings for you," he mumbled.

"Ryan..."

"No, please. Let me finish." She could hear the loneliness in his voice. "I know you have Spencer. Maybe I’m not as domineering, or maybe I don’t have as high a social status. But I know that I love you as much as, maybe even more than he does. Even though you’ve already rejected me, I still can’t somehow forget you. And yet, this is my last chance. My father will soon send me abroad for further education. I’m afraid I will never have this chance again."

She looked on with the saddest eyes.

All eyes were on the couple. No one seemed to have noticed a man rushing into the square. With a clenched fist and a mind overwhelmed with thoughts of Fiona, he looked even more frightening than he’d ever been.

"If you want, we can go abroad and forget this place. We can start over!" he said, raising the flowers and offering it to her.

"Fiona, say yes!" Sophia broke the silence. If Ryan could manage to pull this off, Spencer wouldn’t be able to oppress Fiona anymore. Then everything would turn out well for her friend.
