Sunny immediately turned serious. "No, Xante. I wouldn't keep hanging around you if I were a jerk. I mean, you were nothing but cold to me, yet I shamelessly chased after you. Do you really think it's because I'm without shame? If I could choose who to have feelings for, I would've chosen a woman who's as passionate about me as I'm passionate about her!"
Xante kept her eyes on the road and said nothing.
"And I genuinely don't know about what my dad did in the past. As his son, I'm not going to call him a jerk when I'm with you. It's just that I can't leave him alone. You don't have to go with me if you don't want to. Just forget I said anything,"
added Sunny.
Still, Xante said nothing. She just turned the steering wheel to maneuver that car off the overhead bridge.
Seeing that they were not going in the right way, Sunny frowned and asked, "Xante, why are we taking this road? This isn't the way to the hospital."
He instinctively clutched his seatbelt tightly, fearing that Xante was going to throw him out of the car.
However, Xante simply said, "The way we're going doesn't have a flower shop on the way."
Sunny frowned in confusion. "A flower shop? Xante, who are you going to buy flowers for? You better not be buying flowers to give to another man behind my back!"
Xante gave him an annoyed glance. "If I can't do it behind your back, then I'll do it right in front of you!"
Sunny frowned. "Just who the heck are you buying flowers for? Is it a woman or a man? You haven't even given me flowers before! Are you trying to give me a stroke?"
"I went to the hospital empty-handed last time because you tricked me into going there. Do you want me to go empty-handed again today? As much as I don't like your father, I still know the etiquette of visiting someone in the hospital."
Sunny was taken aback by what she said. His eyes then lit up. "I knew you cared about me after all, Xante!"
Xante's lips twitched. She then sighed and wondered why she would always inevitably find herself giving in to Sunny.
