Chapter 63: William Scott Indeed
Sheila Zinc was definitely a smart woman. As soon as William Scott said that, she understood what he meant.
She didn’t say anything nor did express any emotions. In fact, her expression didn’t change at all. Instead, she turned silently into a small gazebo beside the path and sat down.
William Scott followed and sat opposite her.
The two of them faced each other in silence. Some people and some things, once missed, It would probably be very difficult to have certain people or something again.
“William, am I not your type?”
William Scott was caught off guard by Sheila Zinc’s question. He did not expect her to be so direct.
Facing Sheila Zinc’s gaze, William Scott could tell that she was stubborn. He couldn’t help but smile and say, “Your expression reminds me of when you were in high school. You were stubborn and strong in the face of challenges.”
Sheila Zinc nodded heavily and said, “That’s right. You’re the challenge I’m facing now. I won’t stop until I overcome it.”
William Scott shook his head gently. “Every man likes a gentle and virtuous girlfriend.”
Sheila Zinc didn’t say anything. She stared at William Scott and waited for him to continue.
He continued, “You’re such a unique woman. I like your personality too, but… I really don’t want a girlfriend. I’m used to being free and have never thought of taking on this responsibility.”
“You are lying to me!” Sheila Zinc pointed out William Scott’s lie without hesitation.
William Scott could only bite the bullet and say, “I really don’t want to find a girlfriend now. I still want to live a carefree life for a few years. You don’t know how happy a single man is.”
......
“Hmph…” Sheila Zinc snorted unhappily and said,” Unless you tell me that you don’t like women but men, I won’t believe your reason. ”
“Pfft… Sheila, these words don’t fit your character at all.” William Scott was dumbfounded.
“It’s all because of you. Why can’t you tell me the truth? If you have a girlfriend, I would understand. If you said you didn’t like me, I would understand. But I can feel your gentleness in your eyes. The feelings hidden in the school days is something that a person can never forget in their entire life. Even if neither of us had ever expressed anything, I just know that you can’t lie to me at all.”
William Scott felt a headache, or rather, a blissful headache. He said gently, “Sheila, I admit that I have my own difficulties and can’t fall in love for the time being.”
Sheila Zinc said, “For the time being? Then you mean… we can still do it in the future, right?”
William Scott hesitated. “Yes, but I’m afraid it won’t be for a short time. It might even be five or ten years.”
Sheila Zinc’s eyebrows curved again. She said with a smile, “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
“You—”
“Actually, I don’t have any intention of falling in love and getting married so early as well. It’s just that when I met you again, the feelings I’ve hidden in my heart all these years have surged. If you really wanted to fall in love with me, I wouldn’t know if I should say yes or not. Normally, I should agree, but I have a lot of things to do now and don’t have that much time to spend with you. I’ll feel very sorry for you, but if I don’t say yes, then I’m afraid I’ll miss this chance to be with you forever. So I’ll wait for you. We’ll talk when you want to fall in love someday.”
William Scott could tell that Sheila Zinc was speaking the truth. His heart suddenly felt a little heavy. He looked at her and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
“You don’t have to feel burdened. To be honest, if I hadn’t met you again, I would have been considered a celibate. If you don’t want to fall in love in this lifetime, then I’ll be single for the rest of my life.”
William Scott rubbed his nose and said, “There’s no need to bind yourself to me.”
“At the very least, other than you, I really haven’t met another man who can touch my heart. William, let’s just go with the flow and follow our hearts. No one can control what happens in the future.”
Sheila Zinc’s attitude made William Scott relax. He said, “I was afraid that you would think that I was an arrogant prick because I didn’t even accept our class belle’s confession.”
“Who confessed to you? I just wanted to confirm something with you. I just wanted to know if you really liked me in high school.”
At this moment, Sheila Zinc was actually a little arrogant. She had the cuteness of a little daughter.
William Scott chuckled and said, “Yes, I admit that. It turns out that it wasn’t wishful thinking when I was in high school. If I had known at that time, I would have blurted out everything to my heart’s content.”
The atmosphere between the two of them instantly became harmonious. They reminisced about interesting memories in high school and laughed even more.
Xavier Herd came out from behind the tree and said, “Ahem, although I don’t want to disturb the two of you, everyone came out to look for you after waiting for both of you for so long.”
Sheila Zinc blushed and stood up. She said apologetically, “I was talking to William about interesting stuff in high school and we forgot about the time.”
Xavier Herd chuckled and said, “Your high school memories can indeed last for a few days and nights. Sheila Zinc, at that time, William told me a lot about you.”
“What did he say?” Her eyes lit up like a star in the sky.
William Scott glared at him and said, “Don’t spout nonsense.” He blushed at the thought of his childish and reckless behavior back then.
At this moment, Sheila Zinc walked directly to Xavier Herd and said, “You don’t have to be afraid of him. I’ll stand up for you. You have to tell me everything he said. I really want to know.”
Xavier Herd turned to look at William Scott, and the ambiguous glint in his eyes deepened. He said, “William, I’m not betraying you. I can’t refuse the request of the class belle.”
“Yes, yes, you can’t refuse. Xavier, you are the best.” Sheila Zinc was gleeful.
After being complimented by Sheila Zinc, Xavier Herd became even more smug. There were so many other ex-classmates around. No matter how well the others did, she had never spoken to them in this casual manner.
In his heart, he admired William Scott even more. Now, Sheila Zinc was a violinist and artist with a certain reputation in the country. Furthermore, she was a professor at a university. She should be distant and superior.
And now, she was clearly hooking up with William Scott.
“You’re indeed the boss. It’s fine if he doesn’t make a move, but once he does, he shocks the world and conquers Sheila Zinc.” Xavier Herd muttered under his breath, feeling indescribably proud.
William Scott was also helpless. When this woman played tricks, she was really hard to deal with.
