The Ice-Cold Executive Gets A Wife Novel - Chapter 178
Chapter 178: Failed To Confess
Phillips knew that after this morning, he had no more excuses to keep Sophia. But there was something that Phillips knew he had to say today.
“Sophia!” Phillips stood up and called Sophia.
“Huh? What’s wrong, Phillips?” Sophia turned around and looked at Phillips in confusion. She didn’t know why Phillips called her.
“Do you still remember what I said that night?” Phillips asked.
“Yes!” Sophia nodded. “I remember. You said that you had a good time with me. Phillips, I had a very relaxed time with you too. These few days on campus are probably the most relaxing days I have had during this time.”
“I said I liked spending time with you. In fact, I should have been more direct. I like you, Sophia. I’ve liked you from the moment I first saw you. You may have forgotten, but I still remember the day you walked into my classroom and asked me which one of us was Phillips.”
Phillips looked at Sophia affectionately. “Sophia, I want to ask you, would you be my girlfriend?”
Phillips’s voice was very low. He looked very cautious, afraid of scaring Sophia. After all, this was not a child’s game. He was also afraid that Sophia would reject him, but he wanted to try anyway. If Sophia agreed, he would do his best to give her happiness.
Although Phillips vaguely felt that Sophia’s heart belonged to someone else, he believed that if he tried hard enough, he might one day be able to move Sophia’s heart.
Hearing Phillips’confession, Sophia was completely stunned. Phillips’confession was too sudden, and Sophia didn’t even know how to answer him. Phillips’ confession caught Sophia by surprise, and she didn’t know how to respond.
Phillips waited for a long time, but Sophia didn’t answer. He could only smile awkwardly.
“Sophia, I’m sorry I scared you. I… I just wanted to be sure.”
“No, Phillips, I’m not scared. I just…” Sophia stopped mid-sentence. She didn’t dare to continue.
She was afraid that her answer would disappoint him.
“Just what?” Phillips asked hurriedly.
“Phillips, thank you for your confession,” Sophia said in a low voice. Phillips was different from other people. He was like a friend and also like her brother. Sophia was afraid that her rejection would hurt him, so she hesitated.
“Is it too fast? Sophia, can I try and pursue you anyway? We can take it slow,” Phillips offered expectantly. He wanted to make one last effort.
“Huh?” Sophia could not believe her ears. Phillips had proposed to pursue her.
“Sophia, if you want, I will give you happiness. I will make you the happiest woman in the world, give you a happy life, and I will take good care of the child in your belly,” Phillips said very sincerely. This was a heartfelt thought and a boy’s promise to a girl.
“Phillips, I…” Sophia didn’t know how to express her feelings, but she could feel that what Phillips said was true. He liked her. But she couldn’t be with him. She had already given her heart to someone else.
“I understand your dilemma, Sophia. Don’t worry. I know that there may be someone in your heart now, so I won’t force you to give me an answer now. But I want you to know that I will always be waiting for you somewhere. Please forgive me for my previous offense. If your answer is no, we will still be friends, okay?” Phillips looked at Sophia as he said seriously.
“Of course!” Sophia smiled, feeling relieved. She could always get along with Phillips easily, and he wouldn’t make things difficult for her. “Phillips, you will always be my good friend.’
Although she had no romantic feelings for Phillips, Sophia could see that Phillips liked her, and he treated her as a good friend. In that case, Sophia naturally would not reject his good intentions, but they could only ever be friends.
“So, Sophia, I’ll take my leave now. Take care!” Phillips said and turned to leave.
He did not dare to turn around to look at Sophia.
Phillips was afraid of seeing the look in Sophia’s eyes. He was afraid of seeing the embarrassment on Sophia’s face. This was good too. Now that he had said it out loud, he had no regrets.
“Phillips, wait.” Sophia heard the disappointment in Phillips’ voice.
Phillips turned around and saw the sunlight hitting the girl’s face. There was no shadow on her face. It was just like the first time he saw her. She opened her arms and gave him a friendly hug.
“Thank you, Sophia. “.
