Mr. Fairchild's Rose: She is Wild and Proud-Chapter 149: Disappear Completely from Her Sight

"We’re all civilized people, fighting is indeed unattractive," Henry Hughes smiled, his gaze becoming gentle, "Besides, I think Maeve Lane wouldn’t want me to get hurt either."

The meaning of his words was entirely from the perspective of a victor.

Yet the current situation was all caused by him.

The storm in Julian Fairchild’s eyes brewed more terrifyingly; no one had ever provoked him like this, but he couldn’t find a single reason to refute.

Maeve was on Henry Hughes’s side; he was just the one she had abandoned.

Heh. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Henry Hughes waited fearlessly for Julian Fairchild’s response.

Julian Fairchild could very well give up now.

No one could force him to do anything.

But during this time together, he had gradually become aware of his feelings for Maeve Lane.

Alas, he realized it too late.

Thinking of what the girl had said on the phone just now—

[For my sake, don’t oppose Henry Hughes, and if anything happens, let it come at her.]

A sour and astringent feeling in his heart kept swelling, Julian Fairchild remained silent for a long time, turned around, and opened the door, seemingly unwilling to see Henry Hughes any longer.

Just when Henry Hughes thought he would open the door and leave directly, Julian Fairchild stopped, his tall figure casting a long shadow in the sunlight.

He slowly spoke, "A deadline."

Henry Hughes paused, instinctively asked, "What deadline?"

"Do you plan to keep pursuing her?" Julian Fairchild’s eyes were cold, his tone icy, "One week, if within this week you manage to win her over and maintain a relationship with Maeve Lane for over a month."

Like forcing words out of his throat, he said, "Then I won’t appear before you again."

Henry Hughes raised an eyebrow.

Julian Fairchild continued, "But if you fail, then you will completely disappear from her sight."

He knew that doing this was like drinking poison to quench thirst; if Maeve really didn’t want to return, whether Henry Hughes disappeared or not, it wouldn’t change anything in their relationship.

But clearly, at this stage, Henry Hughes was the biggest obstacle between him and Maeve Lane.

No matter if someone new might appear beside Maeve in the future, as of now, Henry Hughes was the man who made him feel the greatest sense of crisis.

Henry Hughes frowned, "One week? You’re overestimating me."

Julian Fairchild sneered slightly, "Aren’t you confident and assured of victory?"

A long silence lingered between the two.

Even the sound of water drops became clear and bright.

"Drip—"

Just as Henry Hughes hesitated, a message popped up on his phone—[Take care of yourself, don’t get hurt.]

Then another one: [If Julian Fairchild gives you trouble, tell me.]

[If he wants to hit you, he has to get past my fists first.]

Henry Hughes felt a warmth in his heart, thinking about Maeve defending him just now, he couldn’t feel more comforted.

Although he wasn’t entirely sure about Maeve Lane’s taste in men, her preference for handsome guys was known by almost every man at Aurelia University who fantasized about her.

He had already secured a place in Maeve’s heart, and throughout Aurelia University, apart from Julian Fairchild, he considered himself quite decent-looking.

He wasn’t entirely ignorant of the entertainment tabloids either.

Although he found the title of "school heartthrob" a bit cheesy, it was a kind of recognition anyway.

Along with Maeve’s care and special attention in recent days, thinking this through gave Henry Hughes a bit more confidence.
