Chapter 828

Lindsey was blown away by the sight, her mouth hanging open slightly.

“Whoa! No way! It’s a meteor shower.

I’ve never seen one before!” she shouted in amazement.

Then it hit Lindsey, and she hurriedly clasped her hands together in front of her chest, silently making a wish.

Sumner also settled in next to her.

Then, a few seconds later, they both opened their eyes together and gave each other a gentle smile.

Glancing at Lindsey intensely, Sumner leaned in and whispered, “So, what was your wish?”

Lindsey propped her hands on the grass, gazing up at the stunning sky with a hopeful gleam in her eyes.

“I wished for my mom to wake up soon.

”

Sumner’s heart felt heavy, but he swiftly comforted her, saying, “Hey, don’t worry.

She’ll wake up soon, I’m sure.

”

Lindsey nodded.

She perked up a bit and turned to him, asking, “So, what about you? What was your wish?”

Lindsey immediately regretted her question upon noticing the tenderness and affection in Sumner’s eyes.

Before he could formulate a response, she interjected, “You’d better not say it.

”

“Why not?” he asked, confused.

“I’m worried that if your wish is related to me, I may not be able to fulfill it.

” Lindsey’s gaze was transparent as she revealed her thoughts.

The light in Sumner’s eyes suddenly dimmed.

His heart sank like a ship caught in a storm upon hearing her candid words.

Yet, he managed a wry smile and said, “Don’t worry.

I haven’t made any wishes.

I don’t believe in such concepts.

I’m a practical man who only cares about what I can grasp with my hands.

”

As Sumner spoke, he gently placed his hands on Lindsey’s shoulders, locking eyes with her.

“Lindsey, I brought you here today to make it clear that I will openly pursue you,” he said, his smile radiating sincerity.

Lindsey was caught off guard by his straightforwardness.

It seemed her previous attempts to dissuade him had been in vain, leaving her with nothing but a headache.

“Sumner, I’ve already told you I have a boyfriend.

My heart belongs to him alone,” Lindsey said in a firm tone.

“But he’s just a boyfriend, right? You aren’t married yet, so technically, I still have a chance,” Sumner responded stubbornly, tightening his grip on her shoulders.

“Why not let us compete on our merits? That seems fair, doesn’t it?”

After a pause, Sumner’s voice softened into a near plea.

“I’m willing to wait for you to choose me.

Lindsey, I really want to be with you.

Won’t you at least consider giving me a fair chance?”

Lindsey found herself at a loss for words.

After a moment, she gently broke free from his grasp and stepped back.

“Thank you for today, but that’ll be all.

It’s getting late.

I should head home.

”

She then turned to leave.

“Has he ever taken you to see the meteor shower?” Sumner asked loudly with a hint of desperation.

Lindsey stopped in her tracks and turned to face Sumner with a serene expression.

“He has shown me something far more beautiful.

No matter how breathtaking a meteor shower may be, it can’t compare to what I’ve experienced with him,” she said calmly.

Sumner stood frozen as the meticulously planned romantic gesture he had been planning for so long was suddenly rejected.
