Chapter 747: Good night, Frank.
"I want to love you, Frank. Just as much as you love me, or maybe more than that. So, don’t just ask me to recover. It’s not enough. You should demand more, will you?"
For a moment, Dragon could only stare at Hera in a daze. Just a second ago, he was assuming she would ask him to let her go for whatever martyr reason she had in mind. But alas, he didn’t expect to hear all these words from her.
It was in his plan to make her his, to make her do everything he wanted. His plan stretched to the point where she would bark if he asked her to or lick his shoes without questions asked. All he needed was to ask, and she would do it, just like what he was willing to do for her in the past. He should have known that after years of hard work, this situation was inevitable.
But why was he speechless for the first time in a long time after hearing her heart?
Dragon studied the pair of loving eyes, mirroring him. In them, he appeared to be the most important person for her. Although it had a mix of uncertainty about her lifespan, it paled in comparison to her determination to build this life with him.
"If I’m going to demand more, that means you should eat," he replied quietly, slipping his hand from her grip with care. He sported a short smile, nodding at her mildly. "The food isn’t good if it turns cold."
"Mhm," she hummed with a smile, picking up the cutlery to finish her meal. As she did, Dragon glanced at the steak she was cutting.
"Hang on," he called, earning a look from her.
"What?" she asked, tilting her head to the side. "Is there something wrong?"
