Chapter 916: 268: All-powerful XinXin, seize the day with poetry and wine! _4
 

Bustling traffic, neon lights glimmering brightly.

She witnessed for the first time how stunning the Capital City’s night scene truly is.

It seemed as though she had never genuinely stopped to admire this city’s stunning night view.

Noah Reed continued, “See those row of houses ahead?”

“Yes, I see them,” Delia Frieman nodded.

Noah said, “I lived there until I was in fifth grade. My grandfather raised me, so I often accompanied him to watch the old men play chess by the roadside. As my parents’ success expanded, we moved from here to West Road and eventually from West Road to where we currently reside. By the way, Delia, I don’t think you’re aware, but I’m not originally from the Capital City. I was born in Vast City.”

Delia genuinely didn’t know about this and curiously asked, “Do you ever return to Vast City?”

Noah replied, “Not often, most of our relatives and friends are now in the Capital City.”

Delia nodded.

Just then, they passed a school.

Noah stepped on the brakes, “Delia, look! This is my old primary school.”

Delia turned her head to look.

West Side Primary School.

The two of them continued their journey, sharing stories along the way.

Mostly, it was Noah telling Delia about his life.

He wanted Delia to understand the real him.

“And ahead, that’s my old junior high.”

The car moved at a slow pace, but Delia never felt bored.

An hour later.

The car stopped at the entrance of Delia’s residential area.

Noah got out of the car and opened the door for Delia, “Take your time, Delia.”

Although he was three years younger than she, his behavior didn’t suggest any need for Delia to demonstrate respect or concession towards him.

He seemed even more mature than Delia.

Thinking of everything.

Rachel Barton had just returned from a meal with her roommates.

As she arrived at the residential entrance, she saw Delia getting out of a luxury car.

“Delia?”

She called out.

It was indeed her.

“Rachel.”

Delia looked unexpectedly at Rachel.

Noah smiled and greeted Rachel, “Dear, do you remember me? I am the suitor who is courting your sister.”

Rachel looked at Noah.

At first she was stunned, then suddenly she recollected.

This…

This is the second rich generation suitor from last time.

Could it be that Delia still hasn’t clarified things?

Rachel frowned slightly, unnoticed.

Delia wasn’t recognising her true self.

Her and the second rich generation, they were birds of a different feather.

Did Delia plan to force an early commitment?

But truth can’t be obscured forever.

If he finds out that she used to work in the red light district, it won’t just be Delia who’s humiliated.

Also,

Rachel disliked deception intensely.

What value does a relationship obtained through lies hold?

“Hello,” said Rachel, hoping against hope that Noah wouldn’t recognize her.

Trying to leave a good impression on Rachel, who might become his future sister-in-law, Noah said, “My name is Noah Reed.”

“Alright.”

Afterwards, Noah turned to Delia, “Delia, I’ll be heading home now.”

“Drive safely,” Delia gently reminded him.

“Alright.” Noah was elated.

Delia’s reminder to drive safely indicated her concern for him and her concern meant he had a chance to win her over!

Noah’s spirits soared with joy.

After Noah left, Rachel turned to Delia, “Delia, what’s your situation with that guy?”

Delia replied, somewhat embarrassed, “He is pursuing me.”

Rachel frowned slightly, “Is he the same guy from last time?”

“Yes.” Delia nodded.

Rachel was at a loss for words, “Delia, why haven’t you made things clear to him yet?”

Delia laughed, “Rachel, there’s a misunderstanding. I’ve already told him everything… He said, he doesn’t care about my past.”

Vows like that were thrilling.

Especially when Noah said, ‘every day with me is a new beginning.’

It made Delia blush even now.

He doesn’t mind?

Rachel frowned subtly.

How could this be possible!

No man could remain unaffected by such concerns.

Unless he was a fool.

Moreover, Noah was from the second rich generation.

Affluent families are always concerned about the chastity of their women.

Was Delia fooling herself?

Finishing her sentence, Delia went on, “Rachel, actually, I’m feeling conflicted right now. I want to accept him, but I’m also afraid I’m not good enough for him. On the other hand, it would be such a regret to reject him.”
