Chapter 235: Before Another Wave (3)
Arren’s expression sold him out; he was already surprised, to begin with, and as soon as Spade finished, the shock filled his eyes so that he was almost speechless.
He blinked and swallowed anxiously. Even if he were ready to open up and tell this secret of his to Spade, Arren found out that it was much harder to do so when he was already at this moment.
"Y-You really believe it?" Arren inquired, his voice somehow trembling. He also gripped his spoon tighter; for some reason, he was really nervous.
Spade could notice this as his deep gaze gained another layer of fondness. He nodded as he gently rubbed Arren’s chin to calm him down.
The alpha leaned forward, and as the distance between their faces became closer, Arren could see Spade’s eyes and his expression much clearer. The way the deep and affectionate gaze was still in his eyes and didn’t diminish while looking at him made Arren’s nervous heart calm down.
He recovered quickly and was reminded that when his confidence to divulge his secret to the alpha was coming from, Spade himself was giving him confidence for this love.
As though the alpha sensed that he relaxed and there wasn’t any more hesitation in his eyes, Spade’s gaze turned softer.
After a moment of pause, Arren suddenly had a thought and shared it with Spade.
"Spade, what if the memories hidden deep in my subconscious and your vision that overlap with each other are related?"
Deep inside, this was the root of his fear and hesitation. Arren knew he was a souk that transmigrated into this world; at least that was what he knew, and he didn’t want to assume anything.
If so, didn’t that only mean that what Spade was being reminded of and seeing in his image was the real Arren? The real Arren might be the one that Spade loved after all, and he stole his identity and everything from the real one. He was guilty, but he admitted that he was selfish because he didn’t have any regrets or guilt.
