Chapter 431 - Confession (1/2)

As Marion observed Jean's features, she actually started imagining various dirty things she wanted to do with him and all the pleasant things that they could go through together.

Jean nodded. ”Thank you for letting me win the squinting contest just now. Even though you can be very aggressive and stubborn, you're still quite nice. You let me keep my ego as a man by allowing me to win.”

He then giggled and patted Marion's head.

”Ish ...” She could only cover her face. She couldn't stand seeing Jean pretending not to understand that she lost because she was fascinated by his handsome face.

”Do you want more Black Russian or do you want me to get you another drink?” Jean asked, raising his hand to call the waiter.

”What did you get for yourself?” Marion asked.

”Just Pina Coladas, I'm in the mood for a simple one,” he answered.

”Oh, I want one too. I like Pina Colada, especially when I'm on the beach.” Marion suddenly pressed her lips.

She just remembered Alicia telling her before that Jean's favorite drink was Pina Colada too, especially when he was on the beach.

Marion cursed herself for ordering what Jean liked. She did not want the man to consider her a stalker for seemingly imitating his choice because, in actuality, Marion just happened to like it too.

”What happened to you?” he asked Jean in surprise. ”Pina Colada is good.”

”Uhm ... yeah, but I am not ordering the drink just because you like it, okay! I've liked Pina Colada first. I'm older than you and I've fancied Pina Colada since the 70's when you weren't even born!” Marion clarified quickly.

”Oh my god ... why are we competing on Pina Colada now? I never forbid you from liking or ordering it,” Jean announced, shaking his head. He then nodded to the waiter who just arrived to take their orders, ”Two Pina Coladas, please. Thank you.”

The atmosphere between them turned silent for a moment until Jean opened his mouth again, ”I feel like there is something that must be resolved between us.”

Marion looked at him with her round eyes, ”What do you mean?”

”I like you,” Jean declared without further ado. ”I don't think I can hold myself back anymore and not show it to you. I don't want to confuse you by pretending that there is nothing between us. I talked a lot with Alicia in the kitchen while staying at your house and found out a lot about you. Apparently, we have so many things in common, I could hardly believe my own ears back then.”

”Wait ... what ??” Marion also could not believe her own ears just now.

”I know your favorite color is sky blue, like me, Your favorite food is tiramisu. You really like Pina Colada, and various other things that make me feel that we are very similar, of course, in addition to your cat eyes that are very similar to mine.” Jean smiled a little, ”This kept me thinking about you for a month. I wanted to go back to Switzerland to look for you after Terry finished his assignment, I didn't expect you to come here. I'm so happy.”

Marion was astonished to hear Jean's words that were spoken so lightly. She did not expect it at all.
