?<strong>Chapter 960:</strong>


    At that moment, a more opulent car than the previous one arrived. Edward ushered Elyse into the vehicle and then adeptly poured her a ss of whiskey. “Today is a day to celebrate. Have a drink.”


    Elyse epted the ss but asked with a puzzled look, “Who are you really?”


    “I’m your closest friend. If you wish, I could also be your boyfriend.” Edward leaned in closer, smirking yfully. “So, what do you think? Should I be your boyfriend?”

    Ignoring him, Elyse pulled out her phone and began searching for information. If Edward was not going to disclose anything, she decided to find out on her own.


    Noticing her deep in investigation, Edward didn’t rush her. He casually swirled the whiskey in his ss, asionally ncing at her phone to gauge her progress.


    Once Elysepleted her search, Edward gestured toward his face with a teasing smile. “So, what do you think? Having me as your boyfriend isn’t such a bad idea, is it? With someone like me, you ought to be excited.”


    Elyse, looking confused, inquired, “You’re the governor’s son? Why haven’t you mentioned this before?”


    Edward touched his nose and replied, “What was there to tell? If I had told you sooner, do you think you would have won first ce on your own?” He tilted her chin up with a yful smile. “Elyse, now that you know who I am, do you see the great opportunity you have next to you?”


    Elyse shifted back, creating some space between them. “What ‘great opportunity’? I don’t understand. If you prefer I didn’t stay at your ce, I can find a hotel.”


    He had to admit she was remarkably steadfast, giving him no chance to sway her. He internally cursed, marveling at how someone like Elyse could resist his charm. By staying with him, she had the opportunity to be the hostess of the Moon Pce, yet she seemed entirely uninterested.


    Elyse redirected her focus, paying little attention to Edward. While the fact that he was the governor’s son surprised her, it did not sway her feelings. What truly mattered to her was…


    Holding back the slight pain in her heart, Elyse kept herposure.


    Edward found Elyse’sck of interest intolerable. Given his esteemed background, he expected her to gravitate toward him, or at least show some curiosity. However, all he received was indifference.


    Now, being the governor’s son seemed to offer Edward no leverage; it felt as though he was merely boasting, met only with apathy.
