Chapter 202: Run off where?
"Huh?" Zenith’s sudden unexpected question left Kylian awestruck for a brief moment, while gawking at him still, he sounded too amazed to believe him, "What did you say?"
"Well...not even in a million years I had ever imagined myself to be asking someone to run away with me, sweetheart. It all still feels dreamy to me...but I think I have found the one with whom I won’t mind running away someday..."
Zenith exhaled a sigh with a relaxed wide grin across his face, while his dark mysterious eyes were locked on his ocean gaze when he repeated after him in an amicable voice, "That’s why, I wanted to be reassured, if...someday...certain situation arises in our life...would you run away with me, babe?"
"Did you eat something strange in the forest when you ran off on your own...or did you hurt your head somewhere to spout such nonsense?" Still unable to process his bewilderment, Kylian sounded quite baffled from his tone, and even placed the back of his palm on Zenith’s forehead to check his temperature, "Or maybe...you’re feeling sick?"
"Is it that surprising to hear it from me?" But Kylian’s gestures which also hinted at a sincere concern for him made Zenith curve a small smile when he grabbed his palm which was resting on his forehead. Placing a soft kiss on his knuckle, he conversed, "I am completely serious, and it wasn’t something I said on a whim."
"Why would you even think about running away with a nobody like me when you’re the son of the VIP of this country? You must have gone really nuts to even think of something like that—"
"You’re not just a nobody to me, Kyle. You comprise my entire world...and that’s why...you’re the only one whom I could ask something like this."
Intervening Kylian’s confused murmur, Zenith’s assertive voice made his porcelain white cheeks redden with a flustered hue. Just aligning a few simple words together, Zenith had the superpower to make Kylian blush like an innocent maiden in love most of the time, which somehow always made him feel a little submissive.
Even though he was feeling quite shy, Kylian still tried to hold onto a stoic expression when he urged back, "Well, let’s suppose we do run off somewhere far and distant, but how are you supposed to survive there? You belong to a rich household as the young master who always had the luxury of life in the palm of his hand whenever he pleased...so leaving that exquisite life behind, would you be able to hold onto it?"
