Chapter 466 - CHANCES: PART V (1/2)

Elizabeth thought for a moment that the man was complimenting her but once hearing the truth, her thought about the man changed. What was he doing to the girl that she would even end up having scars.

Cris noticed the mean look and indifferent expression the girl was imminting towards him. He chuckled humorously and spoke, ”Miss Knightley, please do not judge me as if I am a disgusting b*start you enjoys those sort of thing. I did not inflict the scar on her or maybe I did. But, all I can say is I was there and I failed to protect her, maybe that's the reason why she left.”

It was obvious the girl was even more interested to know since she was so tuned to what he was saying. But, the man did not say anything further and drank his beer.

”What made you think that?”

”I don't know, it's just, she had no reason to leave me at all.”

”Ha-ha, you seems so confident in yourself Mr. Cris. How sure are you she just lost interest in you and maybe she found someone better.”

”Then whomever that b*stard be must either be my brother or else his f*cking dead.”

”Mr. Cris aren't you praising yourself too much.”

”Any woman would kneel to be with me. And, I think no other man is comparable to me except for my brother.”

”Are you sure?”

”Don't include your family here. They are already taken…” Cris responded so fast after noticing the girl's right brow slightly raised. He knew right away what it meant and of course she knew her family is comparable to him. His cousin is in the military force, he is rich and the heir of the most powerful family in the east and has her as a cousin who is one of the most powerful families in the west.. But, the man was already taken…

He knows all of this since President Chen sent him a file before the trip about the girl's family profile.

”Fine, I give you that.”

”Ha-ha, you actually agree that no one is much better than me in this word,”

”In your world, I never stated that it includes mine.”

Cris had this interested and sly expression on his face, he turned to the girl and said, ”I forgot, your mystery guy must be like a god for you to even not show any interest in me.”

”How?”

”I mean, don't get me wrong. You're kind of too obvious, you know, sometimes, I don't know why but I can even notice when you're lying.”

Elizabeth raised her brow dumbfounded by what he meant.

”Isn't it strange? I mean, we only meet but I felt like I've known you for years. When you eat, talk, and every single movement. All of them seem so familiar to me…”

”Mr. Cris, be honest? I am not really your mission?” Elizabeth questioned back, sensing all the man's words seems to state be leading to somewhere very dangerous.

”You have my words, I am not here for you. Maybe at first but now that everything had been confirmed. I, a hundred percent have no interest in you at all. Well, I'm still curious as to what happened to you but I won't go into details in that. Just like you, I don't have a lot of time.”

Elizabeth analyzed his words and she thought the man seemed sincere in his words and even felt pitiful for him. So she responded, ”Why don't I help you? If you can give me…”

Without even finishing what she wished to say, the man already rejected her offer. ”Thanks but no thanks. I wish to find her with my own effort. I want to prove to her that no matter what happened, here I am, trying to find her to prove that I love her.”

The first word that popped into Elizabeth's mind aftering hearing out the man's explanation was.

CHEESY

Was it just her or does the man act so romantic yet failed to. I mean, if she really showed so much effort then the girl truly would have no reason to leave. Or, it could be the reason since sometimes too much love can make a relationship awkward.

”I wish you the best then?”

Cris looked at the girl who turned her attention back to the sea and chuckled. ”Miss Knightley, do you really mean your words. It sounded as if you're not sincere at all.”

”Don't get me wrong, I do wish you the best, it's just… I'm curious why she left you in the first place. Could it be that she found you…” Elizabeth was hesitant and noticed the lonely expression on the man's face.
