"If you end up forgetting it, I can only say you're not serious," said Alice after Luis gave his answer.
She showed a strange expression when she heard that, realizing that Alice was testing him when she asked about the message.
Maybe if he had said he forgot, she would have taken it at face value and assumed he really forgot—regardless of whether he was pretending.
And for her, forgetting something like that would be equivalent to playing with her.
She would not tolerate such a thing.
Because of that, Luis could only smile, pretending his mind was calm.
He must not look nervous—he had to appear relaxed, like always.
"So, what's your answer?" he asked Alice.
Although her attitude seemed difficult to read, the fact that she was bringing it up showed that she was actually considering accepting his feelings.
If she weren't, she could have simply said no or ignored him altogether.
"I'm thinking about it. After all, I've never dated anyone before," Alice answered calmly.
