Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart novel Chapter 719

Hearing that Lucien invite her for dinner, Sylvie immediately said apologetically, "I am sorry, today is my father's birthday. I have to go back."

Sylvie's parents lived in the city near Riverside City. It took two hours to be there by car. Sylvie didn't have a car, she planned to grab a taxi.

She wanted to take a shower, go to buy the gifts for her father, then take the taxi home from the mall. She didn't have much time for her new boyfriend.

Lucien raised his eyebrows. "Your father's birthday?"

He thought his message was clear. Wouldn't she invite him a little even though just out of courtesy?

But Sylvie wasn't a sophisticated person. And more importantly, she felt it was not the right time to introduce Lucien to her parents yet. They had just started a relationship.

And she didn't think the relationship would last long. She didn't intend to introduce Lucien to her parents.

So, she didn't invite Lucien. She apologized again, "Yes, So I am afraid I won't be available tonight. Let's take a rain-check."

Lucien was pissed off.

Sylvie had entered the building after waving her hand to him. Lucien looked up to the blue sky and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

He knew that Sylvie didn't want a future with him.

Yet he comforted himself that although Sylvie was outgoing, she was very serious about the relationship. She wouldn't bring random guys to her parents' place. That was understandable.

Adjusting his mood, Lucien drove back to his place and stuffed many gifts in his car. He had them prepared beforehand.

He was determined to show up at Sylvie's father's birthday. So, he prepared the gifts immediately after knowing that Sylvie was going back with Nina and Cameron.

He had asked Nina what Sylvie's father liked. And the answer was tea, especially green tea. So, he had asked his friend to bring back some high-quality green tea from another city.

He had also prepared other gifts that elders might like, including gifts for Sylvie's mother. He had tried his best to leave a good impression on them.

After packing the car, Lucien drove back to Sylvie's apartment. He knocked on her door.

Sylvie, who was about to set off, was surprised to find Lucien there. "I'm about to go out, why are you here?"

Lucien said straightforwardly, "I am going back with you."

Sylvie, who had almost stepped out of the door, was stunned.

She looked at Lucien in terror. "Going back with me?"

"Yes," Lucien nodded seriously. "I would be worried if you take a taxi home since it is pretty far away. I'll send you back.

"It's alright." Sylvie shook her head repeatedly, "I went home by taxi every time in the past. And taxis are now connected to the police. It's safe."

Nina would ask the driver to send Sylvie home every time.

So, it was just Sylvie's excuse. She didn't want to bring Lucien home.

"The past was the past. Now you have me. I won't allow you to face any risk." Lucien was determined.

After that, he took over Sylvie's small suitcase and headed to the elevator.

Sylvie paused for a moment. When she realized what was going on, she quickly locked the door and followed up. "Lucien, I don't think that's a good idea."
