611: Chapter 610: I Like You 611: Chapter 610: I Like You Rebecca’s face slightly changed.
Although Frank Parker spoke in fits and starts, how could she not understand the aning of his words?
Long, long ago, she knew he liked her.
However, she had always pretended not to know.
He, for so reasons, didn’t confess his feelings to her all this while.
Or perhaps, whenever he hinted at it, she’d feigned ignorance.
The Parker family and the Kelloway family, were a perfect match in social and economic status.
Frank’s situation was considered excellent among his peers in the upper-class society.
The only flaw was that he was prone to fits of anger.
But he had undergone treatnts for many years, and hadn’t had an outbreak in a long ti.
As long as he could control his temper, his explosive anger wouldn’t manifest.
So, in all terms, Frank Parker was a pri candidate for marriage.
The most important thing was, he genuinely liked her.
And he had persisted for so many years.
If she got married to him, she would certainly lead a blissful life.
She knew all these in her heart.
But the man she wanted to marry was Ashton Heath, not Frank Parker.
No matter how well he treated her, it wasn’t what she wanted.
Therefore, she didn’t want Frank to confess his feelings to her.
It would cause awkwardness between them once she rejected him, which was sothing she wasn’t ready to handle.
So, all these years, she had acted oblivious to Frank’s intentional and unintentional hints.
She couldn’t accept Frank Parker, but she also couldn’t refuse his kindness towards her.
Because he was genuinely good to her.
This was a kindness that any woman would find hard to resist.
She thought that, as long as they didn’t break the thin veneer of their relationship and get along as they have been, it would be fine.
She was content with him treating her as if she were his beloved sister.
But now, her thoughts were sowhat wavering.
A mont ago, it seed like Frank wanted to break that fragile layer between them.
It seed…he wanted to confess his feelings to her.
If it had been before, she would have changed the topic right away, not giving him a chance to express his wishes.
But this ti…
If she continued to act clueless like before, she wasn’t sure if she could wait for Frank’s confession in the future.
In the past, she never worried about these things and had complete trust in him.
She was confident enough that he would never fall for another woman.
But now, Joanna Lawrence suddenly appeared.
She sensed an unprecedented crisis.
She had a premonition that if she didn’t seize this opportunity, Frank Parker…
might actually leave her.
“Rebecca,” Frank Parker was silent for a mont, then spoke again, his voice sounding weary, “Apart from Ashton, have you ever cared for anyone else?
You mind if I’m kind to others, but what about you?”
“You repeatedly tell in front of my face, how much you like Ashton, how important he is to you.
Do you think I enjoy hearing it, or do you think I really see you as a sister, so you can speak freely in front of ?”
“Rebecca, all these years, haven’t you had any feelings at all?”
“Frank, you…”
“Before, I did see you as a sister.
But since ten years ago, you are not my sister anymore.
I’ve liked you for so many years, do you really not feel anything at all?”
Once certain words are spoken, there is no possibility to take them back.
There is no need for any pretense either.
“Rebecca, I like you,” Frank Parker’s voice was calm, as if stating a fact, but each word was spoken clearly, “I know you like Ashton, so all these years, even though I had so thoughts, I never told you.
I also know, you have noticed sothing, it’s just…you didn’t want to say it.”
