Chapter 278: Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Honey [4]
[ZULA]
"You have so much faith in me, Lili," Zaffuto said to the woman before him. He had never had someone trust him that much, it felt like he was about to be suffocated by her fiction but at the same time, he wanted to see for himself what this would be.
He wanted to explore and experience whatever the fuck life was offering him with her. He wanted to see where the lines would get cut and if otherwise, he wanted to see what the future looked like for the both of them.
He wasn’t a man of hope ever, but here with his Erasthai so close to him, Zaffuto dared to have a silent wish that would probably have him on his knees if he wasn’t very careful.
"Someone has to, angel. Besides, beyond all that you have hovering around you, I know you are a good person," Liana said.
Zaffuto stilled.
No one had ever looked at him differently other than Sadako. And now the woman he was forced to marry was here smiling at him when he was covered in blood and there wasn’t an ounce of fear in her as she stayed close to him.
It was almost like this was the part of life that he had never had to worry about and the part that had him excited for what the future held.
Maybe all he had to do was wait it out, but what were the chances of them never working out? Or maybe it was because the realm was already plotting against him now that he had a certain weakness, right?
