Chapter 107 His Persistence
Caroline had never met anyone like Antonio.
"What are you doing? Get on the bike."
Under the banyan tree, the man in white shirt still stood there as yesterday, but today he was on a bicycle.
"Don't be in a daze. Get on the bike."
"Why are you here again?"
Antonio gave her a bright smile. "Can't I come here?"
Of course he could, But she had no idea that he would appear in front of her after yesterday.
Antonio was tall, with one foot on the ground and the other on the pedal. He extended a long arm to pull Caroline to his side and pressed her on the back of the bicycle.
Caroline was about to stand up.
"Don't move. Otherwise you will tumble off." Antonio stepped on the pedal under his feet. With Caroline sitting behind him, he rode the bicycle and went forward.
The bicycle started before Caroline could stand up. Influenced by the inertia, she fell back to the saddle and subconsciously reached out her hands to firmly grasp Antonio's waist.
She was confused. What was the matter with him?
"I can walk by myself." Caroline said in a rough voice.
A voice immediately came from the front. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
"No."
Caroline was speechless.
After a while, she said, "Mr. Tucker, didn't we make it clear yesterday?"
The man in front smiled. "Did we say anything yesterday? I don't remember."
Caroline felt helpless. Why did he behave in a different way from other similar people?
"Do you know what I'm going to do?" Apparently he had no idea, why did he pull her on the bicycle?
She glanced at the bicycle again, but she couldn't figure it out. Antonio didn't look like a man who loved riding.
"Let's have lunch first. I know a place where the food tastes good."
His words drove Caroline berserk. He gave an irrelevant answer.
"I don't like riding a bike."
"You're lying. Your eyes turned red when you watched the young couple ride a bike yesterday." Antonio said, "Caroline, I know there must be a same memory between you and Bentley. Your eyes can't fool me."
Caroline paused and didn't know how to answer him.
Antonio continued, "It doesn't matter if you don't accept me for a while. It takes time and energy to chase women. Caroline, I tell you, this is the first time I show my love to a woman.
If you are not satisfied with what I did, please forgive me, because I'm inexperienced."
"Mr. Tucker, we are just customers and..."
"I know what you are going to say." Antonio interrupted her, "You can treat me like a client. I don't mind."
Caroline blinked with obvious helplessness in her eyes.
Maybe Antonio was on purpose. The cycling speed was not low. Although Caroline wanted to jump, she was quite scared.
About fifteen minutes later, Antonio made a left turn, and the bicycle turned into a small alley.
Looking around the alley, Caroline hurriedly asked, "Where are you going to take me?"
"Hush." He said in a soft voice, "We'll be there soon."
The next second, the bicycle turned again and stopped in front of a wall covered with roses. Antonio got off the bicycle. "This is the back door. I used to go inside through the front door. The back door is quiet and narrow, but the front door is magnificent."
Hearing this, Caroline didn't want to get off.
She seemed to be glued on the saddle. Antonio raised his eyebrows and looked at her childish behavior at the moment. "Get off. It's useless for you to stay there."
"No!" She blinked and grabbed the saddle with both hands.
Antonio almost laughed, but he knew that if he laughed, Caroline would immediately become the hedgehog with spines covering her back and curled up in a ball, and he could never get close to her again.
"You really don't want to get off?" His eyebrows shook suspiciously for just a moment. The next second, no one could see his expression just now.
"I'm not hungry." Anyway, she didn't want to go inside.
"I am hungry."
"Then go in. I can go back by myself."
"Caroline, you have two choices. First, get off by yourself and go in with me for lunch. Second, I will hold you out of the bike and hold you in for lunch."
Caroline didn't look very well. She really didn't want to go in. She didn't want to go to all the high- end places, because she might be likely to meet one or two acquaintances.
She didn't want to face them.
"How about eating beef noodles in Hudson's restaurant?" She bit her lips and was afraid that Antonio would not agree. She reluctantly added, "It's my treat."
Antonio immediately tilted his head aside in case of laughing in front of her. After snickering, he turned back, saying slowly to Caroline, "It's on you? Just eat noodles?"
Hearing this, Caroline was a trifle unhappy. What was wrong with noodles?
"Forget it." Caroline slid out of the saddle and walked towards the opposite direction. Her arm was suddenly grabbed from behind. "I like eating beef noodles. It's delicious. Let's go."
Antonio grabbed Caroline and pressed her on the back saddle again. "Don't go back on your word." He was afraid of her running away.
The bicycle went into the small alley again. The brick walls on both sides were covered with rows of wild roses that were white, pink and light yellow. The bicycle shuttled between the flower walls. The wind ruffled up Caroline's bangs, revealing the ferocious scar. She sat on the back of the bicycle, with her mind in great confusion.
Innumerable roses passed by. Caroline suddenly looked up at the tall and straight back in front of her in astonishment. He took her away to have lunch. Why did she invite him to eat noodles?
She didn't make sense of it.
"Mr. Tucker..."
"Don't move." Before Caroline finished speaking, Antonio suddenly commanded, "Hold on to my waist!"
Hearing his words, the first reaction of Caroline was to obey.
She had no time to think it over, and she immediately stretched out her hand to firmly grasp Antonio's strong waist.
After a while, she asked,"What happened just now?"
"Someone threw a bottle on the path. I was afraid you would fall."
"Well, thank you, Mr. Tucker."
"Don't mention it. It's no bother." Antonio seemed to utter these words without care in a clear voice. His thin lips were slightly raised, but Caroline didn't notice that.
