novelxo Chapter 1615
Julien knew that Levi would not fall for Vanessa. However, men were usually more prone to jealousy when it came to the woman they loved. He heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Levi's answer. He chuckled. "Think carefully. Who have you ever fallen in love with?"
"I have fallen in love with many women. For instance, those beautiful ex-girlfriends of mine." Upon hearing Julien's question, Monique's face appeared in his mind. He dismissed the thought immediately, but he could not think of anyone else.
At this moment, Levi couldn't even remember what his ex-girlfriends look like.
Julien was right. There were a lot of attractive women in the world but there was only one girl he had feelings for regardless of her physical appearance. Ever since Julien met Vanessa, he was head over heels for her no matter what she did.
Julien prodded him. "You're thinking of Monique?"
Levi was reluctant to admit his feelings, but he still gave a curt nod. "Why did I think of Monique? She doesn't have any of the criteria that I looked for in my future partner. How could I fall for her? Am I a masochist?"
Julien couldn't suppress a smile. "A masochist? What do you mean?"
With a troubled look, Levi said sullenly, "Monique and I don't see eye to eye in the army. We fight all the time and she almost broke my leg twice. Such a fierce temper! Yet, I have feelings towards her. Maybe I'm the same as my father, and we have a genetic penchant to torment ourselves?!"
In his opinion, it was a miracle that his father adored his mother. Could it be genetics? Was genetics responsible for his feelings towards Monique, a woman who pissed him off all the time?
A chill ran down his spine at the thought. Heavens, this was a disaster. He couldn't marry someone like Monique. The Brown family already had someone like Mia. It would be chaotic if Monique became a part of the family. The thought was too terrifying!
Julien did not think that Levi and his father had weird tastes. After all, everyone had different personalities. Hence, it was only natural for them to fall for different people. Some liked gentle and kind-hearted souls while others like those who were hot-tempered. Levi and his father were the latter.
Julien gloated over Levi's fate as the thought of Neil and Mia. Fortunately, he fell for someone like Vanessa. "Maybe you thought that you like beautiful women but after meeting Monique, you realized that she was the type who could attract your attention. She will make you disregard the criteria you have set for an ideal partner."
Levi was aghast. He shook his head in panic and tried his best to recall how his exgirlfriends looked like. However, tried as he might, he could not dismiss the thoughts about Monique. "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! I would not fall for someone like her."
He did not want to admit it but he slowly realized that despite her shortcomings, she was very important to him. Thinking of her made his heart skip a beat. "F*ck, this is a disaster!" Julien grinned. "You can't seem to get her off your mind, am I right?"
He had a similar experience. Levi's current state was similar to his when he realized that he liked Vanessa back then. Reluctant to accept the truth because it caught him off guard and it seemed too impossible to be true.
Levi continued to shake his head, still unable to accept the truth. "No, it's impossible. I still like women who are stunning and gorgeous. It must be because I have stayed in the army for too long. I haven't seen anyone beautiful for a very long time, and the only women I saw were Cecil and Monique. That's why my taste in women has gone haywire. Julien, help me find some pretty ladies to rectify the problem. Once I readjust my taste, I will not have feelings for Monique anymore!'
Julien chuckled. "Are you sure you want me to get some pretty ladies over for you?"
Levi nodded and replied, "I'm sure! Please bring over more pretty ladies, especially those who are captivating and sexy." There was a determination in his eyes.
"Monique is quite pretty. Why do you think that she is ugly?" Vanessa had been eavesdropping quietly outside for a while. She couldn't stand it anymore and came in. She didn't care if they knew she was eavesdropping, she wanted to get her point across. "Julien, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."
Julien felt deeply wronged by her accusations. "What kind of person am I?"
Vanessa glared at him. "Do you still need me to tell you what kind of person you are?"
Julien responded, "It's not I who's looking for a pretty girl."
Vanessa was displeased. "Although you're not the one looking for a pretty girl, you are assisting him and supporting something wrong."
Julien said gloomily, "Don't glare at me like that. I haven't even found anyone for him."
Vanessa added, "If I didn't enter, are you going to proceed with the plan?"
Julien stammered, "I..."
Even if he did agree to Levi's request, it was to help him discover his true feelings. It was definitely not what Vanessa thought. However, he could only remain silent or else Vanessa would blow a fuse.
Vanessa didn't let the matter slide. "What?"
Julien said hurriedly, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have agreed to his request."
The closer they became, the more he knew about Vanessa. Whenever they quarrel, no matter who was in the right, he would be the first to apologize or Vanessa's anger would spark.
As expected, Vanessa calmed down. A faint smile formed on her face. "Next time, don't do something like this again."
Julien agreed.
Levi was rooted to the ground. Women were scary! He didn't want to fall in love or marry anymore!
He used to think that only his father was afraid of his mother. However, even Julien who was manipulative was afraid of Vanessa. If he really married Monique, his peaceful life would come to an end. No! Falling in love with Monique was out of the question.
"Young Master Brown, tell me, what's wrong with Monique?" Vanessa looked at him and asked in a gentle voice. However, Levi shuddered. Her gentle voice made his hair stand on end after witnessing the scene a moment ago.
"In my opinion, women like you are considered beautiful." Levi shifted his gaze to Vanessa's face. He paid no heed to Julien and continued, "That's right. You are a pretty lady! And my mood is much better after seeing you."
