"Ah? Really?" Lynn pretended to she didn't know what Sydnee was talking about, and then continued to send messages to Eliot while Sydnee was not paying attention, "She really said that! Eliot, I swear! What I told you is true! Come on!"
Sydnee no longer paid attention to her. When the two of them went back to the hotel at night, they had a simple meal downstairs. While they were eating, Lynn saw Eliot coming in from the outside hall. At the same time, Sydnee also saw Marquise. She frowned and was about to stand up and drag Lynn away when Lynn pulled her up and pushed her towards the door. "Sydnee! Go!"
When Lynn saw that Sydnee's expression was not good, she thought that she was unhappy to see Eliot. As a result, she followed Sydnee's sight and turned around to see that Marquise sat not far from them and was ordering food.
Lynn thought for a moment and whispered in Sydnee's ear, "Sydnee, I have an idea, but you have to cooperate. Then, you can get it done once and for all in the future."
Sydnee was pushed and staggered. Lynn's words were still echoing in her mind, "Go, hug him, and kiss him!"
What?
Kiss him?
Can I?
For real?
Kiss Eliot?
Before Sydnee could ask, she raised her head and saw Eliot coming from the hall with a cane. He was wearing a white shirt with two buttons undone, revealing his slender neck. Eliot was the sunny type man, but too many things had happened recently, which made him feel depressed. Fortunately, he had faded all the unbearable past into dust in the last few months. Now, there was no longer any melancholy on his face. Instead, it added a sense of steadiness. For example, at this moment, he walked through the hall with a cane. His pace was neither fast nor slow, and his shirt was ironed. Coupled with his good looks, he attracted the attention of many women as he entered.
Sydnee was a little disoriented. She realized that she was wrong. Eliot had always been confident in the eyes of the public, but in terms of feelings, it was a sense of homesickness. Only when he was in front of her would he feel that he was not worthy of her.
She suddenly remembered the rage in her heart when Marquise said that Eliot was in a terrible match. Eliot was such a good person, and Marquise couldn't even compare to him!
But why was she so angry?
As a friend? As Emily's friend?
Or could it be that ... she actually has feelings for Eliot, but she is not clear about it?
Sydnee staggered for a while before she managed to steady herself. However, his footsteps could not help but follow the direction of his fall. Eliot also came over with a cane. The two of them stood in the middle of the hall. Even though they were not very eye-catching, they were still an outstanding couple. Many people thought that this was the scene of the proposal, and they could not help but stop and look in this direction.
Go, hug him, and kiss him!
Lynn's words came to her ears again.
Although her goal was not innocent, at this moment, there was no other way to get rid of the troublesome Marquise.
Sydnee walked over with a flush at her cheek and stopped in front of Eliot. Then, she tiptoed over.
It was just a kiss.
When she was about to implement it, she suddenly regretted it. However, this position was very awkward at the moment. She stood on her tiptoes and was about to move forward. Eliot leaned on his cane and looked straight at her. After seeing her take the initiative to move closer to his lips, he threw his cane, hugged her back with one hand, and lowered his head to kiss her.
The entire hall was boiling with exhilaration. There were whistles, applause, and also many women screaming with blushing faces. Lynn quickly took out her mobile phone and took a few photos. Behind her, Marquise smashed the cup.
This was the first time Sydnee was kissed in public. No, to be precise, she was going to kiss, and then Eliot took the initiative, but ... but... but in front of so many people!
Sydnee's mind was in a mess. It was over. Her first kiss.
Moreover, Eliot really knew how to kiss. He was so skilled in kissing. Did he have a lot of women in the past?
Also, why does the novel describe a man's mouth as a light peppermint smell? When it comes to him, his mouth is filled with the faint fragrance of tea. Wait, his mouth?
When Sydnee was released, her entire head was dizzy. A French kiss?
Her entire face suddenly turned red. She looked at Eliot in a panic. Then, she covered her mouth. Her ears immediately turned red. She was about to turn around and leave, but her shoulder was touched by Eliot.
For some reason, his voice was a little hoarse. "Help me pick up my walking stick, please."
"Of course." Sydnee quickly lowered her head and helped him pick up the walking stick. When she handed it to Eliot, her hand was held in his palm.
"Sydnee," "It's good that you're fine. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to make it in time."
"Make it to what?" Sydnee's head was still a little dizzy, and she didn't dare to look up when she asked, and her entire face was as red as cooked shrimp.
"I'm afraid that you will be hurt, and I'm afraid that..." "You will promise him." Eliot tightened his grip on her hand.
"Huh?" Sydnee raised his head in confusion and met Eliot's eyes. She then quickly lowered his head, "What kind of promise?"
Her brain seemed to finally work. She finally understood what he meant. She immediately raised her head and retorted, "How is that possible?"
But why would Eliot come over, and how did he know that Marquise was here?
"I don't need to think about it," Lynn said.
"What?" Sydnee listened to the random words and felt a little inexplicable. Her mood had almost been eased. She could look up at his eyes but not his lips.
"If you want to marry me, I don't have to think about it. I can marry you at any time."
"What?" Sydnee was stunned for a moment. Then, the color of blood spread from her neck to her cheeks and then to her ears. Her entire face was burning hot to the extreme. She turned around and shouted to the people behind her, "Lynn!"
Lynn raised the menu to cover her face and even gave Eliot a cheering gesture.
Sydnee explained in a spin. When she raised her head and met Eliot's eyes, she was extremely flustered. Her entire face was extremely red. "She ... What else did she say? Don't believe that, I..."
"It's too late." "Sydnee, I believe everything you say. Regardless of whether it is true or not, since you said it, you have to take responsibility. You even kissed me," Eliot said, holding her in his arms.
"?" Sydnee was appalled.
She forgot to struggle out of his arms. Instead, she was thinking about the question she had previously. However, because there were too many people around her, she asked in a very low voice. There was also a hint of shame in her voice. "Eliot, I haven't asked it yet. You, you, you are a skilled kisser. You must be..."
"No." Eliot understood what she was saying and let out a snicker.
Earlier this afternoon, Sydnee had praised Eliot for being a decent gentleman, upright and honest, and full of righteousness. At this moment, she thought of him as a beast with a human face in human clothes.
"I don't buy it."
"I really don't." Eliot was helpless. He lowered his voice and whispered into her ear, "Try again if you don't believe me."
