Chapter 388
“Magic?” Veronica became curious. “What kind of magic?”
“You see the girl standing in front of the restaurant?” Darius pointed at a girl.
“...Yes.”
“You see, that girl is being stood up by her boyfriend. That’s why she is restless and mad.”
“Really? How are you going to find out whether you are right or wrong?”
“I’m going to make her mine tonight.”
.....
“Is this your magic? Do you mean a bet? A woman’s body is fun to you...” The more Veronica talked, the more her voice rose.
Realizing that she was getting upset, He hurriedly corrected his words, “No, no, it’s not like that. Sigh. Fine then, I won’t sleep with her. I will steal her heart.”
“A heart is a heavy burden, Darius. Why do you want to hurt women to seek pleasure? Can you actually find pleasure out of it?”
“Veronica, you aren’t getting mad at me, are you?”
Veronica shook her head in response. “No, I’m just curious. I mean, a person wouldn’t want to hurt others unless that person was hurt by others. There’s always a reason behind every action.”
“Huh? You suddenly became wise after last night.”
“That’s because Cathy taught me – there is always a reason behind any action, even behind the cruelest action.”
Darius stared at her. The corner of his lips lifted slightly. “You think so?”
“I do,” Veronica confidently replied.
Darius nodded as if he believed her. “It’s nice you think that way. But it’s me you know. I don’t need a reason to play with women. It’s just fun. And I’m going to make that woman fall for me.”
Saying his piece, he walked forward to talk to that woman.
“...” Veronica stood there, speechless by his action. Furious by his attitude, she shouted, “I wish you get beaten up! I bet on her rejecting you!”
Darius waved his hand without looking back. He accepted her bet.
Zinnia was in the shop next to where Veronica was standing. She came out with Felix and told her, “Honestly, don’t let him get into your head. Your mood will be ruined.”
“How can he be such a devil” Veronica’s face was red. She could barely control her anger. “It’s because men like that exist, women suffer so much.”
Zinnia patted her shoulder, trying to calm her down.
“That’s not the case. Many women want to be dominated. They like to play with men too. For example, try making a world where men are equal to women.
“Some men and women will accept it but for the majority, they won’t accept it. Because they like how things are.”
“Why? Why would they do that? Don’t they want to have a life without a problem?” Veronica asked.
“That’s because they are too dumb or they just enjoy dominating and being dominated. Some just don’t want to change what they are following.” Zinnia shrugged.
“It’s mostly because people don’t want to change. So, changing oneself is the hardest part,” Felix concluded.
“Darius was like that for too long. He loved to sleep with different women every night before I met him. He hasn’t changed for many years. If he doesn’t want to change, you cannot change him,” he added. “And women just love him for some reason.”
“That’s because he knows those pickup lines,” Zinnia explained, “and he is so experienced that he knows women’s pleasure spots. So, women want to sleep with him again and again.”
“That’s why I want him to be rejected by the woman over there.” Veronica worriedly stared at the woman whom Darius targeted. “But she looks so innocent...”
Felix: “...”
Zinnia: “...”
They both thought, ‘Who is more innocent?’
While they were chatting, Darius approached the woman. He bought a red rose from the flower shop nearby and brought it in front of her face.
“Beautiful lady, something is weighing heavily on your tender heart. May I be part of your thoughts?”
The lady was startled by his sudden move. She stepped back when he suddenly pushed the rose on her view. When she heard his voice, she slowly moved her head.
The woman was a redhead who had a wonderful pair of blue eyes. Judging from her attire, she seemed to be a noble lady.
Seeing a tall man, her face became blank.
Darius certainly wasn’t expecting her blank expression. He was wishing for her to be more excited after getting a red rose rather than her dumb stairs.
But would it make him stop there?
He gave her a charming smile and added, “I’ve been noticing that you were standing like that for a long time. Has your ungrateful partner stood you up? I can’t believe such bastard exists in the world.”
Realizing that he cursed a guy, he quickly said, “Pardon my language. I hate it when men treat women harshly. When I saw you standing alone, my heart broke for you. I wish I could help you with everything I have.”
Veronica cringed when she heard him. “How can women fall for that? Look at his expression. He makes me want to slap his face.”
Zinnia chuckled. “Just wait for the outcome.”
Darius used various words to make the woman open up to him.
However, the lady responded with a polite smile, “...That’s not necessary...”
Darius gaped at her. ‘Did I just get rejected? How can that be? Veronica is watching. I shouldn’t shame myself.’
He forced a smile. “But beautiful Miss is alone. It’s getting darker. I’m worried something might happen to you. Why don’t we go inside and spend some time drinking a cup of tea until it’s time for you to leave?”
The lady hesitated before nodding slightly.
Darius escorted her inside the restaurant. Before going in, he turned his head and gave Veronica a triumphant smile.
Veronica’s jaw dropped. “I can’t believe he did this! I can’t watch this any longer. She is going to be heartbroken when she realizes he is only playing with her. I must tell her the truth!”
