Chapter 955 A Fussy Man
"I know that you have been hesitant to be with me mainly because of my mother. A stressful life like this is not what
I want to give you either. I will find time to have a serious talk with my mother, so I hope you won't give up on me
easily," Alex insisted.
Jewel felt helpless upon hearing that. Though she spoke slowly, she firmly uttered each word. "I don't want to make
things difficult for you, but do you think our relationship can surpass the bond of a family? Neither of us will be
happy if we continue like this. It's better to let go."
"I have already let my mother make you suffer once. This time, I won't listen to her anymore. It would be great if
she could accept you. But even if she doesn't, I won't give up on you. We'll stay away from her. I just don't want you
to back away at the first sign of difficulty!"
"I'm not. That day when your mother insisted on sending me away, I told her that I won't go unless you ask me to
leave."
Overjoyed, Alex held Jewel's hand and cheered, "Really? Did you really say that?"
"Although some part of me said that to provoke her, I also meant what I said. It's up to me and the person I choose
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto be together. No one else has the right to interfere."
Alex bobbed his head quickly. "Yes, that's right! We are the ones who decide our relationship."
After saying that, he put food on Jewel's plate and gently coaxed her, "Let's eat!"
When they were engaged in their conversation, Olivia had just walked a short distance away from the set. That was
when a motorcycle suddenly approached and abruptly stopped next to her. Christoff's familiar voice soon rang out
from underneath the helmet.
"Why are you alone? Where is Jewel?"
The startled woman immediately glared at him. "It's the middle of the night! Are you trying to give me a heart
attack?"
However, Christoff seemed rather indifferent about it as he mentioned, "Buy me a meal."
Olivia pursed her lips. "Didn't we just eat?"
"I'm still hungry."
Olivia rolled her eyes in exasperation.
Seeing her hesitate, Christoff urged, "Hurry up! Don't be all talk and no action."
Although Olivia was reluctant, she couldn't refuse him.
Even if his helping her in the past did not count for anything, he did indeed help her last night. And so, she sighed
and relented. "Fine. Let's go. I have never met anyone who is as persistent at getting someone to treat them to a
meal like their life depended on it as you."
Christoff laughed and handed her a helmet before pointing his lips to the backseat.
"Hop on. I'll take you somewhere nice."
Olivia stood in place with her eyebrows pulled together. "You even chose the restaurant?"
"What's wrong?" He raised an eyebrow. "I can't have my favorite food?"
"What a fussy man," Olivia muttered under her breath. Despite feeling reluctant, she put on the helmet and got on
his bike.
Christoff chuckled at her words. "Who are you calling fussy? You are not being very sincere about this meal you are
treating me, are you?"
"You have been forcing me to treat you to meals every day. At this point, I'm buying you meals just to get you to
shut up. What sincerity are you talking about?"
As soon as she said that, the motorcycle accelerated abruptly.
Olivia instinctively lunged forward and collided with the man's solid back. Feeling her chest throb with pain, she

Christoff only laughed. "Hold on to me. We are going now!"
The vehicle shot ahead immediately after he said that.
They sped along the road, passing cars as if they were brushing against them. The shadows of trees on both sides
of the road seemed to tilt backward and occasionally, they heard the piercing sound of horns and brakes.
However, Olivia felt no fear.
Perhaps it was because she knew that Christoff was a skilled rider, or she herself was a motorcycle enthusiast; she
rather enjoyed riding at such a speed.
The road gradually became more remote as they got far from the hustle and bustle of the city. It seemed like they
had left the urban area and everything around them grew quiet.
This doesn't seem like the road to a restaurant! There isn't even a single soul in sight.
"Where are we going?" Olivia shouted from behind.
Christoff took a while to make out her words. He didn't slow down as he replied in an equally loud voice, "I'm taking
you somewhere fun!"
Olivia disliked how he wouldn't elaborate beyond that, but it wasn't like she had a choice at this point. She could only
let him take her further and further away with a frown on her face.
