Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 799 The Older You Get, the More You Love the Color Pink

Having just woken up, Daphne was clearly a bit confused.

Plus, the Louis she knew was not the type of person who would say something romantic.

Which was why she didn't immediately consider how he meant that.

She subconsciously looked up. "Huh?"

Should I call his lecturer and explain the reason he's late?

When Louis met her gaze and saw the confusion and bewilderment in her eyes, the corners of his lips curved into a slight arc as he raised his hand and placed it on the back of her neck. He then gently exerted force, making her lean forward.

Louis proceeded to tilt his head and kiss her on the lips.

I let my guard down again! Daphne panicked.

After the rapid progress they made last night, Louis' kiss was no longer light. He held onto her lips and slowly deepened the kiss.

It was completely different from his inexperienced and shy self from last night.

Daphne couldn't resist him in that instant.

She wanted to push him away, but before she could raise her hand, he held it in his palm again.

He was skilled.

If she hadn't seen how he acted last night, Daphne would have found it hard to believe that he had never been in a relationship before.

Fortunately, the kiss didn't last long as Louis slowly released her.

He whispered, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

Daphne's breath was slightly uneven as she gasped, "Aren't you going to school?"

Louis looked out of the car window. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Daphne followed his gaze.

Oh, it's lunchtime already.

She looked away and adjusted her sitting posture. "Anything is fine. You choose whatever."

Louis replied, "Okay," and fastened his seatbelt again before he drove forward.

Since there were too many people near the school, he drove a few kilometers before stopping.

When they got off the car, Louis mentioned, "The food here tastes good even though it's a little remote. It's safe because not many people come here."

Hearing that, Daphne curiously asked, "How did you know that?"

"I worked part-time here for a while."

The owner here was obviously familiar with Louis. When he saw Louis coming in, he walked over and smiled. "Louis! Is this your girlfriend?"

Daphne's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively waved. "No, no."

"Yes," Louis replied at the same time.

The owner who sensed the awkward atmosphere didn't ask further. Instead, he welcomed them. "Please have a seat and let me know what you want to eat."

Louis then handed the menu to Daphne.

As Daphne wasn't too hungry, she randomly ordered a few dishes and handed the menu back to Louis. "I'm good. You can order whatever you like."

After Louis ordered the specialty dishes here, he said to the owner, "That's all."

"Alright, come have a seat. The food will be ready soon."

After the owner left, Daphne picked up the wine glass on the table and sipped from it slowly.

However, it seemed that her worries were unnecessary, as Louis didn't say anything about the previous

topic.

Soon, the boss came out holding a plate of fruit salad. "Here's a little something for you, Louis. It's on the house. Enjoy."

"Thank you."

Holding her glass, Daphne watched the boss and slowly commented, "You seem to be quite likable wherever you go."

Louis placed the fruit salad in front of her and calmly replied, "Which is why you won't lose if you play with me."

She choked on her wine, choking a few times as she was unable to swallow or cough properly.

It was only now that she truly felt that she had done too many things last night and said too many words on impulse.

Things wouldn't have turned out like this otherwise.

She didn't even know how to face Leanna in the future.

It didn't take long before the dishes were served one after another.

After finishing their meal, they drove back to school.

Louis unfastened his seatbelt when they got there. "I'm leaving. Be careful on your way, and send me a

text when you get home."

Daphne stared at him and suddenly asked, "About your... absence this morning, does it affect anything? Should I go to your teacher as your sister and ask for a leave for you?"

"No need. I didn't have any classes this morning."

Daphne felt the air sucked out of her. "But… You…" She couldn't finish her sentence.

Louis looked at her, and when she wasn't paying attention, he leaned over and kissed her lips before quickly pulling back. "I what? I did this, you mean?"

Daphne was at a loss for words.

Seeing this, Louis smiled. He was clearly in a good mood. "They all know what my sister looks like. If you want to help me ask for a leave next time, just do it as my girlfriend."

Without giving Daphne a chance to refuse, he opened the car door and left.

Daphne watched his retreating figure and couldn't help but smile. He had fooled and teased her so much. She should be angry, and yet, she couldn't help but smile.

Little rascal.

She got a call from her friend on the way back. "Do you have any plans for the afternoon? Want to go shopping?"

"Sure," she agreed.

Her friend was surprised by her answer. "This is the most enthusiastic response I've gotten after asking you to go shopping so many times."

As Daphne held the steering wheel, she said seriously, "I was busy with work before, but now I have some free time. It's also a change of season, so it's time to buy some clothes."

After arranging a time with her friend, Daphne went home and looked through her wardrobe, trying to find a dress that looked younger. But after searching through it, she sadly realized that her clothes were all mature-looking.

She even cleared out so many of them just recently.

There were only a few pieces left in her wardrobe that she approved of.

It seemed that going shopping for clothes today was indeed the right choice.

She eventually found a beige knitted top from the corner of her wardrobe and paired it with high- waisted wide-leg pants.

It looked a few years younger than the mature outfit she wore yesterday.

Still, it only looked slightly younger.

She deliberately chose the dress that would make her look the most mature yesterday.

Sighing while seated in front of the mirror, she put on light makeup and wore the 'Starry Night' earrings, necklace, and ring.

This way, even if she was photographed while shopping, it would help promote the brand.

When she met her friend at the mall at 3.00PM, her friend looked at her earrings and asked, "Is this the latest design from 'Starry Night?' They were sold out when I went to buy them last night. Can you help me get a pair through your endorsement?"

"I'll ask later and see if the store still has any."

"Okay, I'll wait for good news from you."

While shopping, her friend was about to go to the stores they usually went to. Surprisingly, Daphne walked into a nearby store that sold Instagram-style outfits.

Even though her friend was confused, she still followed Daphne into the store.

Daphne carefully selected clothes from a row of racks. In the end, she picked a lotus pink hoodie and asked, "How about this one?"

The corners of her friend's mouth twitched. "Are you changing your style?"

Daphne remained calm. "Haven't you heard? The older you get, the more you love the color pink."

"You seem to have a point... but this looks too young. If you wear it, you'll look like a 17 or 18-year-old girl."

There was a glimmer in Daphne's eyes as soon as she heard those words. "Really?"
