Chapter 774: I ALWAYS WANT YOU
Iris averted her eyes, it was obvious she was upset. "Is there someone else?" she asked in small voice when Cane was about to push her away.
"What?" Cane stopped his movement and let Iris laid against his chest.
"Do you have another woman?"
"What kind of nonsense is that?"
"You have been putting some distance from me. You subtly rejected me. Do you think I don’t know that?" Iris gritted her teeth to hold back her sadness.
"There is no way I rejected you, Iris." Cane reassured her, he relaxed a bit and played with her hair.
"You did." Iris got off his chest and was about to leave, but Cane pulled her back, flipped her body and pinned her down against the bed. "Am I not attractive anymore in your eyes?" she wanted to sound brave and nonchalant, but the voice came out so pitiful.
In the past two weeks, Cane avoided her, not physically, but it seemed like he was holding back his affection toward her. He made sure they didn’t go astray from simply holding hand and sweet kisses, a cuddle or two if Iris was making a fuss because he treated her very carefully.
"Did I do something wrong that upset you, which I was not aware of?"
"Of course not, you have never done anything wrong to upset me, love..." Cane said. Recently, he always used that endearment to appease her. "I am sorry if you thought that way. Maybe because I am a little bit busy and tired."
Iris blushed when she heard the way Cane called her. At the beginning, she also though that she was being irrational and overthinking, since Cane must be very busy lately, hence he was withdrawn emotionally, but there was something that kept bothering her heart and mind, yet she couldn’t put her fingers in it.
