Chapter My Toyboy 140
Chapter 140
Cynthia's sharp mind froze for a ruoment. But she quickly snapped out of it and took a step back. "Preston, I only slapped you once, and it was really for your own good. You didn't have to retaliate like this," Cynthia's previous boldness was gone. In her eyes, there was even a sign of regret. She really shouldn't have slapped him. It might have rattled the boy's mind. Preston's expression was more serious than ever. "Cynthia, I'm not joking with you. I really like you."
For a moment, Cynthia didn't know how to react. She had never been confessed to before. In her whole life, she had only dated two people: one was Filip and the other was Jonathan.
She and Filip got together because they were childhood friends, and as they got older, it happened naturally. Holding hands was a shared understanding. Filip never actually confessed.
Being with Jonathan was even more absurd; they slept together the first time they met. Later, she became his sugar mama. In that kind of relationship, a confession wasn't needed. Even if there was one, Cynthia wouldn't have taken it seriously.
Now, for the first time, a young guy was genuinely confessing to her. His eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky. He still had a youthful innocence but was very sin
sincere
His nervousness was evident, with ears as red as a fiery sunset. His fluffy, soft blonde hair made him look like a fearless little lion. Though cute, he had a natural air of authority.
"Preston. I'm married, I have a husband, Cynthia quickly responded. Her first reaction was naturally to say no. She felt she had to refuse completely. It was the perfect excuse; she didn't need to explain much. Preston spoke up, "Cynthia, I know you're single now."
"Even if I were single, I wouldn't consider you, replied Cynthia
"Why?" asked Preston.
"No reason, 1 just don't like you. Cynthia felt a bit uneasy inside. She always thought of Preston as a younger brother, or even a kid. His sudden confession left her completely confused.
But seeing the hopeful excitement in his eyes, Cynthia knew she had to burst his happy little bubble. For such a simple, privileged young man, it seemed harsh. But she knew she had to do it.
Cynthia steadied herself. "Preston, I don't like you. To me, you're not even a man, just a kid. Stop daydreaming and go back to your rich boy life. Goodbye."
Cynthia decisively turned around after rejecting him and planned to head back to her car.
Preston looked dejected for a few seconds. He shouted at Cynthia's retreating figure, "Cynthia, I love you, I'm not going to give up easily!"
Cynthia accelerated her pace as she heard the boy behind her exclaim, "Also, I'm 21 now. I am a man, not a kid!"
Cynthia was walking so fast that she twisted her ankle in her high heels. Preston saw this from behind and chuckled quietly. Cynthia quickly sped off in her car. After she left, a black Rolls-Royce drove up and stopped in front of Preston. Preston opened the passenger door and got in. The driver, Jack, was at the wheel, while Jonathan was seated in the back.
Actually, since Preston had been waiting there, his car was parked not far away. Jonathan had clearly heard everything that had just happened, every word they had said.
After getting in the Preston was surprised. "Uncle, what are you doing here!"

Chapter 140
Jonathan's face was calm. Just passing by
Preston seemed to be in a great mood and even rubbed his cheek with one hand.
Seeing Preston's lovestruck look, Jonathan couldn't resist teasing him. "Does your face still hurt?"
Preston was a bit surprised but didn't mind at all. "Uncle, did you see everything just now?"
He quickly jumped in to explain for Cynthia. "She didn't hit me hard at all. Don't let her tough exterior fool you. She pulled her punches, look, there's not even a mark on my face. He then leaned over to Jonathan, as if getting slapped was something to brag about. "Stay away from me. Jonathan not in a good mood, leaned back in the rear seat with his eyes closed, trying to relax.
However. Preston was really excited. "Uncle, I confessed to Cynthia, did you see it?"
Jonathan didn't say a word.
Preston kept asking. "Did you see it or not?"
"Are you seriously that happy after getting rejected?" Jonathan's voice became even colder.
Preston chuckled a bit, rubbing his hair, "I never expected her to say yes. She has never seen me as a man, just as a kid. Confessing was just to remind her that Tm a man, not a little boy, and that's the most important thing.
Tm not giving up, this is just the start." Preston muttered to himself about the details of the confession and Cynthia's reaction, going on and on with interest.
Jonathan frowned, finding it all very annoying
But Preston just kept saying, "Uncle, did you notice how shy she was? She definitely blushed"
"I still have a chance.
"What type do you think she likes? If she isn't into the gentle, obedient type, I can totally be her little wild guy,
"I've got an eight-pack; I wonder if she's into that."
"Enough, Preston!" Jonathan couldn't take it anymore. "Get out of the car?
Preston was suddenly kicked out of the car. He thought, "What's up with Uncle? It seems like he doesn't like her. Every time she's mentioned, he gets really angry-
Preston felt a bit disappointed. He didn't expect Uncle, just like Mom, to care so much about family background and status. But he didn't care. At 21, he felt the thrill of a crush for the first time. He would not give up easily.
Cynthia had gotten a terrible headache these past few days. Preston kept showing up at the TV station, bringing her flowers and homemade lunches. Her coworkers all thought she's got a new boyfriend.
After all, Mr. Bennett used to frequently pick up Cynthia from work. However, he hadn't shown up in a long time. That whole Burning Rose incident was shocking back then, surprising many people. But everyone knew that love in wealthy families didn't last. They thought. Given his status, how could Jonathan focus his attention on just one woman? Cynthia is beautiful, but her background isn't enough to match the wealthiest man in the country.
Previously, some people had gossipily asked about it. Cynthia just calmly replied that they had broken up. They were surprised to find it was true. What was even more surprising was how quickly Cynthia found herself a "boy toy" after the breakup.
