Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 2689

“…You’re happy even though you had no idea that I liked you up till this point? Tiffany, this isn’t a joke. I don’t want you to say yes merely because you want a quick replacement for your ex, nor do I want you to be with me only because of my status-”

“Believe me when I say I love you more than you love me,” interrupted Tiffany, momentarily leaving Ian speechless…

Taking a deep breath, Tiffany added, “So… I’ve always idolized you, long before I even began working for you. Sure, we had a rough start, but it didn’t take long for me to realize just how caring you truly were. That made me ‘idolize’ you even more, but after that drink last night, I finally realized that instead of admiration… What I felt for you was actually love.”

“Honestly, I think I knew that a while back already, but… You simply refused to talk about relationships back when we were still working together. Not wanting to lose my chance to continue working with you, I ended up remaining silent, but… Well, you still sent me away anyway… Regardless, shortly after I was sent off, I saw you getting along with Lana, and… Well, that was depressing, to say the least.”

“It’s the reason I went for that drink in the first place… I genuinely thought that you were going to confess to her, and never would I have imagined that this would be the actual outcome… I just… I just hope that I’m not dreaming right now… This almost seems too good to be true…”

“…I made that up to avoid you from overthinking that I’d want to be with you back when we were still working together… I never had a boyfriend…”

…For real? Rubbing his temple, Ian replied, “…Look, I just wanted to refrain from talking about relationships since it affected Lana’s work… She quit because she liked me and couldn’t bear the consequences, you know? And because of that, Jovan was affected and he momentarily quit too. I treat both of them as capable, close friends, and I came to the conclusion that if relationship issues caused them to leave, then I may as well avoid it as much as possible…”
