I wasn't interested. "I've got a girlfriend. Why would I need a chance at love?"
"Hey, isn't Felicia missing? You could date someone for now. When she comes back, you can just break up with her!"
I was speechless. "Do you think I'm a heartless playboy?"
"No, this is just human nature. To be honest, Charlotte wants to treat you to a meal. She was too shy to do so one-on-one, so she brought Isabelle with her. You get me?"
Matthew winked at me.
Upon hearing that this was Charlotte's doing, I was even more dissuaded.
This woman was insane. I'd saved her multiple times but she viewed me in disdain. Charlotte treated people based on their family status. If my family was poor, it didn't matter what I did. If I hailed from a good family, I didn't need to save her to be treated like a king.
I was also uninterested in Charlotte.
She was Lina's friend. In the beginning, she was always with Lina. I fell in love with Lina at first sight. After all, she was cute and obedient. I wasn't interested in the cool girl who looked down on me.
With what she did to be in the future, it further reduced my willingness to give a damn about her.
However, Matthew kept pleading, "Just go. It's not like you'll lose anything by eating with her. I've promised Isabelle that you'd go. You can't allow Isabelle to get pissed over this and ignore me, can you?"
I couldn't stand his repeated pleads, so I went.
