Chapter 28
Gordon appeared so fierce and stern that people dared not to approach him. Unexpectedly, he was silenced by a girl.
Mayra disliked seeing him silent the most. He also behaved this way in his previous life.
Even if he didn't want to talk, he wouldn't lie to her. He would only remain silent, and she couldn't make him speak no matter how hard she tried. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
"Forget it. I can't get your answer anyway."
She seemed hesitant to continue as she frowned. But then, she added, "Gordon, I don't know what my brother told you. But I can assure you that he didn't mean any harm. I haven't had any relatives since I was a child. He's just strict with me. He's worried that I will get bullied.
"My brother is getting married soon. He'll no longer have time to take care of me. I'm his burden. Even if he abandons me, I won't be sad. He has raised me for 11 years. I should feel content.
"He'll have his new family and new life in the future. I'll have nothing to do with him. Gordon, will you despise me because I'm an orphan?"
Gordon responded gently, "I won't."
Mayra smiled happily. "Well, since you understand everything I said, will you still avoid me?"
He shook his head. "I won't."
"My brother is just afraid that I'll fall in love prematurely and disrupt my studies. Don't worry. He won't take anything between us to heart.
"He's very busy now and doesn't have time to pay attention to us. He has always doted on me. He'll never make things difficult for you as long as I'm here."
Mayra couldn't hide anything in her heart. She hoped to resolve their misunderstanding.
Gordon replied, "Okay."
Her eyes seemed to brighten up as she asked, "Then... Gordon, do you want to be my boyfriend?"
His eyes widened as he heard that.

The night breeze blew softly, and the stars were sparse. After Gordon left, Mayra returned to her room. He agreed to continue tutoring her tomorrow. Their misunderstanding had been resolved.
Emily did approach Gordon with a purpose. But something might have changed. He had no feelings for her now.
Mayra was lying on the bed, soothing herself and murmuring, "If I'm with Gordon, wouldn't it be like snatching him away from Emily?"
She was already aware that the only person Gordon had ever liked was her. He didn't have much affection for Emily. She was unsure whether her thoughts were appropriate.
After thinking about it, she reviewed her Eldorish vocabulary and fell asleep soon after.
Early the next morning, Mayra got up and opened the curtains. When she saw Gordon downstairs, she hurriedly got ready and went down.
She wore her hair in a braid today. Carrying her schoolbag, she sat on the bicycle seat and held onto his shirt out of habit.
In her previous life, Gordon taught her how to ride a horse. Mayra didn't have to do anything but tease him slightly to make him blush.
She slipped her hand into his front pocket and touched something warm. Taking it out, she saw that it was a bottle of milk.
