Always be with you

Chapter 40 The Proposal

"Me? "Leena was surprised." Are you kidding? Susan was talking about Alina. "

"Alina is a thing of the past. Why don't you believe this?

When the two were talking, Miguel saw them. He turned around and said, "Leena, you're here. "

Susan said with a shrewd look, "Who are you? "

Leena didn't know how to explain. So Miguel said, "Mom, she is the daughter of Uncle Bowen. "

"Which Uncle Bowen? "Susan still didn't get it. After all, it had been 9 years since the last time they

met. The two families didn't know each other before, how could they remember each other now?

Miguel didn't know how to answer, either. Leena replied frankly, "I'm Bowen's daughter. Nice to meet

you! "

In the face of her father's past, Leena still felt painful, but she never denied that he was her father,

because no matter how wrong her father was, he was still her father. She couldn't just skip or hide his

name just because he made some mistakes. Although it would be better for her life, it was disrespectful

to her father.

Therefore, when others asked about her background, she never hid or dodged, and answered quite

frankly. Uncle Lewis once said that she was too honest and it was not good to reveal her identity, but

she answered that he was her father, and she couldn't deny it.

Surprised, Susan stared at Leena for a while, with her eyes flickering. Nobody knew what she was

thinking about. Maybe she was surprised to see the daughter of a sinner appearing beside her son, or

she was surprised to see the daughter of an old friend?

Spencer walked up to her and said, "Oh, auntie, the two of them have something to deal with. Just

leave some space for them to talk. I'm sure that it can fix Miguel. "

Other high-ranking officials who knew the situation also joined in the persuasion. Although Susan didn't

understand what was happening and had been looking at Leena in surprise, she was still persuaded by

Spencer to leave Leena and Miguel in the ward alone.

Leena didn't know why Miguel kept her here and what else he wanted to say, so she kept silent.

Miguel kept looking at her for a long time before he finally said, "I'm sorry, Leena. "

Leena raised her head and was obviously embarrassed. She was even more confused about his

behavior. "You have nothing to apologize for. I heard that you had a car accident today, so I came here.

I'm relieved to see that you're fine. I'm leaving soon. Take care of yourself. "

"Are you in such a hurry to leave? Don't you want to stay with me for a little longer? Miguel asked.

Leena signed, "Miguel, I don't know what else to say to you. I've said that we can only be friends. That

is the best I can do. It's impossible for us to go back to the past. Alina's appearance disturbed my

feelings about you. You are no longer my idol, and I won't follow you around anymore. But you can still

be my brother, so that's the only thing I can do. "

Miguel suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand, "Leena, can you listen to my explanation? "

Leena felt very uncomfortable being grabbed by him. She wanted to get rid of him, but when she saw

the infusion needle in his other hand, she was afraid that it would be bad if she got rid of him and hurt

him. So she could only bear the discomfort and let him hold her, but she still disagreed, "What else do

you want to say? "

"Don't you want to save your brother? I have an idea. Miguel said decisively. His words worked and

shocked Leena.

Leena looked at him in a daze. When she looked into his eyes, she wanted to see if he was lying, but

she found that Miguel was very sincere. He really couldn't be more sincere, and there was even the

meaning of begging in his eyes.

What was he begging? For her to stay? But why did he change his attitude towards her so greatly? At

that moment, Leena couldn't tell the meaning in his eyes. The affection came so fast that it was difficult

to tell whether it was true or not.

Miguel continued, "You don't have to go to Carlson. You don't have to descend yourself. Why do you

choose to be with him if you don't love him? "

"How do you know that I'm going to ask Carlson for help? "It took a long time for Leena to say that.

"I know. If you want to save your brother, who else can you turn to except him? "Miguel's eyes are still

affectionate and sincere. "At first, I didn't have any idea, but later I have found a way. Now, not only

Carlson save your brother, I can save him, too. "

"What can you do? Leena asked.

"My brother, but it's very complicated and needs your cooperation. "

Miguel stared at her with sincerity in his eyes. Hearing that, Leena didn't say anything. She just thought

that it would be good if Miguel could help her. Although Miguel had betrayed her, which made her sad Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

and had biases against him, he was easier to get along with than Carlson.

"Why do you help me? Leena asked.

"I just want to make it up to you. I'm so sorry for what I have done to you before. And after what Alina

had done to me. I finally know who is good to me and who deserves my love. "

"You want to be good to me just because you know who is good to you? You want to be with me not

because you love me, but because you feel guilty? Leena asked in disappointment. Although Miguel

said it sincerely, she was still sad. No one was happy in the face of a failed love. Even if Miguel came

back to her, it was not because he loved her, but because he just wanted to compensate her. She was

still a poor person that no one loved.

In the past, she was a little jealous of Alina. Why did so many men love Alina even though she was so

publicized and so skittish? Why was it so difficult for her to live a simple life and to find a man who

loved her and who was equal in family background and conditions?

Miguel said, "I still have feelings for you. I pursued you before Alina had appeared, didn't I? I had

feelings for you at that time. "

"At that time, our love was just like the first love we had when we were young, which was unforgettable.

It was the same for me. But I loved you more than you loved me, because I didn't love anyone except

you for so many years. As for you, you might have loved me, but you also loved Alina. Up to now, the

one you love most is still her. I'm just your first love who had a dispensable position in your heart. We

are familiar than strangers. That's all. said Leena, feeling sad.

Miguel said, "Leena, why do you belittle yourself like that? I admit that I loved Alina, but now I'm

disappointed at her. She was a thing of the past, and it's impossible for us to be together. But we have

a bright future and we can cultivate our relationship. Besides, we have feelings for each other already. "

Leena lowered her head and had an impulse to cry.

Miguel continued to persuade her, "If you can say these words to me, it means that you are not

reconciled. You still love me, or you won't be jealous. In that case, why don't you give me a chance,

and also give yourself a chance. I can give you the ordinary happiness you want, and I can also give an

exciting one, as long as you accept me. I could love no other except you, Leena. "
