Elaina was stunned and did not react for a moment.
"You said that as long as I can come out alive, you will give me the chance to pursue you. Does that count?" the man asked.
In an instant, Elaina's face turned red and she did not dare to look into Jalen's eyes.
Seeing that she did not speak, Jalen could not help but feel a little disappointed. "I thought you were serious. I didn't expect you to be teasing me."
As if feeling his disappointment, Elaina felt a little apologetic. "Of course, I am."
"Really?"
"Of course, I'm just giving you a chance, not agreeing to be with you. What's there to be happy about?" as she said this, she did not know if she was talking to Jalen or herself.
Jalen did not care. In his opinion, as long as Elaina was willing to give him a chance, at least it meant that she did not hate him as much as before. Success or not wasn't his present concern.
This was a huge improvement for him.
