NovelEnglishChapter 404 Had Angela fallen for Dexter once again? Was she still as powerless against him as before? No, this couldn't happen.
Angela took a deep breath. "Dexter, I have more important things to do, and I love myself the most." She would always love herself, her freedom, and everything she truly wanted to love.
"I don't want to go back to who I used to be, and I won't give up anything for you. I admit that my heart is wavering because of you, but I—" "Then that's more than enough!" Dexter only heard what he wanted to hear, quickly pulling her closer into his embrace. "As long as you have feelings for me, that's all that matters. This is great!" His voice was deep and filled with exhilaration. It was as though he'd conquered the entire world.
He was holding her so tightly that she could barely breathe. It rendered her unable to say a single word.

His heart was about to burst out of his chest.
If he was asked why he'd suddenly confessed today and was making her give him a chance, it all traced back to a late-night conversation he'd had with Zayn three days ago.
Zayn was at his breaking point, torn between Florence-who'd raised him-and Mia and Leo. Being caught in the middle was so hard that he was close to getting depressed.
"Dexter, I can tell you still have strong feelings for Angela. Take my advice-stop wasting time. She's not the sperson she used to be. She's out there in the world now, always in the public eye. Who knows how many outstanding men are trying to win her over? "You might be a role model among men in our circle, but to her, you're just an outdated candidate. Winning her back is far from guaranteed. Your biggest advantage is being close to her, so don't let that opportunity slip away." By that point, Zayn had already been dead drunk and slumped over in the booth. Dexter had sat in silence for a long time. He'd had to admit that Zayn had a point.
Angela had been out socializing a lot recently, crossing paths with all sorts of men with questionable motives. They were all nothing but flashy scoundrels. Who knew what tricks they might pull to catch her eye? Moreover, her company had plenty of freshly graduated, six-foot-tall young men.
Even if Dexter didn't see them as competition, that didn't mean Angela wouldn't glance at them from tto time.
And if she looked enough times, wouldn't she start feeling a little tempted? If she was tempted, wouldn't something eventually happen? That had been when Dexter had grasped the severity of his predicament.
He should have used the chance when he'd saved her life earlier to demand repayment and make her marry him as gratitude.
After much thought, Dexter had finally decided that he had to act fast. No matter what, he had to make his feelings clear.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut for two days straight, Angela had been too busy worrying about Mia to pay him any attention. He'd waited and waited until today had finally come.
A bit of alcohol had given him courage, though he wasn't the type to be timid anyway.
"But I..... I don't want to be in a relationship right now Angela's voice lowered slightly, sounding En uncertain. She truly didn't want to be in one.
Being single gave her so much more freedom. She could check handsmen out all she wanted.
Even if she had someone in her heart, she could still admire plenty of others.
"When did you turn into such a player?" Dexter was so angry that he was steaming. "Who influenced you to be this way? You have feelings for me, and I love you, yet you don't want a relationship? What kind of logic is that?"
"You see? I haven't even agreed to be with you yet, and you're already trying to control me, I don't want a nagging boyfriend." Angela pushed him away and walked off.
