บท 259: save Casey from Leonardo's madness

"Casey, answer me," Leonardo cried curtly.

Casey sighed, then pushed Leonardo and said, "Leonardo, this has nothing to do with Nathan..this is purely from my heart, I will never be able to be with you because I'm used to thinking of you as a brother."

"Why are you saying you can't when you haven't tried? Please give me a chance to make you love me!" Leonardo begged again and confronted Casey again. He took the girl's hand and held it, looking at her expectantly. "It's okay if you don't want to marry me soon but allow me to be your boyfriend, I'm sure you can learn to love me..but in a few months, if you still can't love me, you can refuse my proposal... I won't interfere with your life anymore."

Casey let out a shaky breath. "Leonardo, that's impossible!"

"Why? Why impossible... don't you have the freedom to be in a relationship with anyone since you've completely separated from Michael?"
