Chapter 542: FIND A WAY TO COME BACK TO ME
"I have not yet told you about my wish, Iris." Cane kissed her knuckles, while kneeling down in front of her. His heart was so heavy, since he still found it difficult to talk about what he felt and what was in his mind.
It had always been easier to give an order, instead of being so vulnerable by letting the other person know what he actually felt. In Cane’s world, showing your emotions so openly was a forbidden thing to do.
Yet, here Cane was, trying to tell her how much he wanted her.
"Wish?" Iris frowned. She completely forgot about it.
Cane chuckled lightly. "I won, remember?"
Only then Iris remembered what Cane meant with that. She pursed her lips. "You tricked me, how can you call that a victory?"
"I won and you will grant me my wish, right?" Cane emphasized this, he looked casual and almost like he was being playful, but looking at the way he looked at his mate, one could say he meant every word he said.
"What do you wish me to do?" It was clear to see that Iris only kept up a pretense to be still a little bit annoyed by it, though in truth, she would do anything for him. Anything...
Cane’s expression hardened when he was about to say it, even his grip on her hands tightened. It was hard to talk heart to heart with someone when his heart had been so hard for a long time, because he had closed his heart for so long, until he thought he had lost it.
But this auburn haired woman changed that. She made her way into his heart and it started beating for her. Before, Cane thought he had expressed himself enough and there was no way he was able to care for her more than that, but it was proven wrong. He was proven wrong.
Because in every second of his existence, his heart grew and every kindness Iris showed to him and also how much she cared for everyone around her, made him realize he couldn’t lose her.
