Chapter 968: Chapter 968: Do You Have a Girlfriend Now? Chapter 968: Chapter 968: Do You Have a Girlfriend Now? She lifted her gaze, a trace of sorrow flickering through the depths of her eyes.
Clayton Howard watched her, his thin lips pressed together, knowing what her question implied.
Indeed, they had grown up together since childhood, seen by others as childhood sweethearts, but in his mind, she was just the girl next door from his hotown. There really was no need to report every single detail to her.
It was true, he was in the wrong today, but now that he had Camila Walker in his life, he knew better than ever the kind of relationship he should maintain with Linda Robinson.
“Linda, I’m sorry about today, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to join you for movie watching and shopping anymore.”
Upon hearing this, Audrey Sawyer was taken aback.
Though he didn’t specify, her heart saw the situation clearly as if reflected in a mirror.
The thing she feared had finally co to pass.
“Why? In the past, as long as I ca to see you, you would join . Why not now?” Her voice was urgent, her dark starry eyes brimming with vulnerability that made it difficult for him to remain unmoved.
He looked at her, his expression calm.
All along he had treated her as a little sister, but now, was he being too harsh by distancing himself because of his personal feelings?
His brow furrowed slightly, considering that things had not reached such an impasse yet.
“It’s nothing, I just think such activities should be shared with your boyfriend, and ultimately, I’m just your Big Brother Howard, and it’s no longer suitable for to accompany you in these matters.”
“How is it not suitable? I just graduated, are you hoping that I go get a boyfriend now?” Audrey Sawyer was visibly upset; his intention to distance himself was clear, how could she accept it gracefully?
Clayton Howard paused slightly upon hearing her words.
She had co to this city to find him, and her parents at ho were probably still worried. Indeed, it seed inappropriate for her to get a boyfriend right now and bring him ho.
“Big Brother Howard, do… do you have a girlfriend now?” Eventually, she couldn’t help but ask, even though she already knew.
The reason he left halfway through the movie was surely to et Camila Walker.
And during the past over two hours, his attitude towards her had changed significantly. This made her wonder, what exactly happened tonight between him and Camila? Had they clarified their relationship?
Clayton Howard looked at her, taking half a mont before nodding his head, “Yeah.”
Audrey Sawyer was montarily at a loss for words, feeling as if sothing was blocking her chest, making it hard to breathe.
“Is it, is it Sister Walker?” After a long pause, she barely managed to speak, her expression filled with sadness.
Clayton Howard nodded once again, “Yeah.”
Recalling everything that happened tonight, he couldn’t help but let a small smile curve his lips. Audrey Sawyer saw it but felt an unspeakable pain in her heart.
Was she that insignificant to him? More unimportant than her 21 years of feelings!?
Audrey Sawyer felt unwilling to accept this, but for now, she had no choice but to put on a forced smile.
She would make him see that no woman on earth could love him more than she did!
“Is that so, that’s truly great then, Big Brother Howard is finally with the person he loves. I’m genuinely happy for you!” Suddenly, Audrey Sawyer lifted her face, her previous lancholic expression changing.
Seeing this sudden shift in her deanor to a smiling face, Clayton Howard’s handso brows creased, showing a hint of confusion.
Nevertheless, since she could speak in such a manner, his mood naturally lightened.
Fortunately, there was no history between her and Camila Walker, and he believed they could get along well in the future.
