Chapter 589

“Just a bit more,” Ivan said honestly.

Do you want to go handle your work and come back? It’s a comedy; you can jump in anytime, Elizabeth suggested.

Ivan chuckled. “It’s my first time watching a movie with you. Leaving halfway would be pretty rude, right?”

Elizabeth paused.

Ivan continued, “Besides, I worked hard for this chance.” Work could wait, but moments like this with Elizabeth were rare. He looked at her, his eyes full of sincerity.

Elizabeth felt touched and smiled. “Thanks, Ivan.” She felt appreciated.

“Thank me for what?” Ivan asked.

“For watching a movie with me,” Elizabeth replied.

It was about two friends enjoying each other’s company.

Ivan grinned. “Can I ask you something?”

Elizabeth nodded.

“Has Alexander ever watched a movie with you?” Ivan raised an eyebrow.

Just then, the screen lit up, casting light on their faces.

Elizabeth thought for a moment. “In college, we watched a few together.”

“Who made the first move?” Ivan asked.

“Me, of course. Alexander would never ask someone out. He’s too proud,” Elizabeth laughed and took another sip of her drink. “Actually, maybe he just didn’t like me.”

If a guy really likes a girl, how could he not ask her out?

Ivan looked at Elizabeth, feeling a pang of pity. He didn’t think her feelings for Alexander were a joke; he thought she was brave. That was Alexander, after all. How many people would dare to pursue him? Most would just admire him from afar. But Elizabeth, because she liked him, actually succeeded in getting close to him.

“I want to be like you,” Ivan said.

Elizabeth looked up. “What?”

“Being relentless and then win you over,” Ivan whispered in her ear.

Elizabeth smiled. “And then get hurt like me?”

“I’m not afraid of getting hurt. Only by trying will you have no regrets,” Ivan said, crossing his arms.

Chapter 589

For some reason, Elizabeth saw a youthful energy in Ivan. He really seemed like a kid just stepping into the world.

“Ivan, you’re so childish,” Elizabeth said softly.

“I’m only childish in front of the person I like,” Ivan replied.

Elizabeth was puzzled. “What exactly do you like about me? Why did you fall for me?”

“Do you need a reason to like someone? Sometimes it’s just a look or a gesture,” Ivan said, tilting his head. “So, about Alexander?”

Elizabeth was stunned. What did she like about Alexander? Wasn’t it just a look or a gesture? She liked the way Alexander looked at her, the way he pulled her out of a crowd, the way he held her hand tightly. Did she need a reason to like Alexander? But to stop loving him, she needed countless reasons to convince herself. Feelings were so inexplicable.

“And also because of your courage,” Ivan added.

Elizabeth was puzzled. Courage?

Ivan’s lips curled up. From her angle, his eyelashes looked long. His voice was warm and pleasant. “A woman like you found me covered in blood on the road, and instead of being scared, you helped me. Elizabeth, weren’t you afraid I might be a bad guy?”
