Love Strategy: CEO He is Really Scheming！

Nicole’s eyes were very clean and pure, her face was also clean and untouched by makeup. Barefaced, yet she radiated a certain lively beauty that didn’t stun at first glance, but the more one looked, the more captivating she became.

The meal was quite joyful.

Except for Andrea Greenwood, who went from smiling charmingly to completely silent by the end, and Nicole Seys, who started with a good appetite but ended with a heavy heart. Other than these points, everyone seemed outwardly happy and cheerful.

——

Steven Cooper gave Nicole a ride back after dinner.

When they arrived at the Seys Family’s door, Nicole only then noticed that there was a meaningful look in Steven’s eyes as he gazed at her. She couldn’t help but ask, ”Brother Cooper, is there something you want to say?”

Steven hesitated and was silent for a while before slowly lowering his head, his voice carrying a hint of unease, ”Nicole, you were Jose Floyd’s private doctor... were you close with him before?”

Nicole felt a bit stiff, looking at Steven in silence for a long time.

The car was silent, and a stifling atmosphere enveloped them.

Steven glanced at Nicole’s expression, feeling a bit reluctant. He sighed slightly in his heart and said, ”Nicole, it’s okay if you don’t want to say. I won’t ask...”

Steven helped Nicole unbuckle her seat belt, his voice gentle, ”Get out of the car. I have to work tomorrow, but the day after, I’ll pick you up to come to my home for dinner. My parents said they haven’t seen you in a while and they miss you.”

Nicole pressed her lips together, her expression deep, her gaze even deeper. After a long time, her husky voice finally spoke, ”Brother Cooper, what’s your opinion on our marriage?”

Steven looked at Nicole, ”Do you want me to be honest?”

”Yes. Putting aside the idea of matching families, putting aside the opinions of our elders, what do you think of this marriage? Tell me your thoughts now.”

Steven tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, his gaze deepening. After a moment of silence, he turned to look at Nicole, his eyes filled with thoughtful seriousness, ”Nicole, I have high expectations for this marriage. I’m also very happy that I can become a son-in-law approved by the Seys Family. To be honest, facing the Seys Family’s reputation, I can’t help but put pressure on myself to narrow the gap between us, to become someone who can get closer to you, the precious jewel of the Seys Family.”

”To you, our engagement might seem like an arrangement made by our parents, a fair exchange between two matching families in terms of marriage discussions. But I’ve never thought of it that way. Given the gap between the Cooper Family and the Seys Family, the Cooper Family can hardly be called a match for the prestigious Seys Family.”

”My simplest desire is just to treat you as my girlfriend, as my fiancée. Marrying you isn’t because of a matching family background, it’s not because you’re Miss Seys; it’s simply because I like you, Nicole Seys.”

”Perhaps our identities and families have taken away much of the twists and turns of getting to know each other and falling in love, making this relationship seem too bland without much interest. But only those who can commit to the ordinary and tasteless can go further in marriage.”

”I can’t promise that I can surpass your family, that I can become as outstanding as your brother. But I can give you a promise that I can live up to. My commitment to you will be like your brother’s to your sister-in-law, through sickness and in health, I will not leave you.”

”I’ve never liked a girl this much before, but Nicole, your occasional indifference and aloofness toward me really make me feel frustrated and disappointed. I want to get close to you, I want to walk towards you, but you always keep a distance. I fear that your heart is a place I might never be able to reach in my entire life...”
