Chapter 158: Sad
Evan was shocked when she could feel the girl’s body shaking. He immediately looked at her and pulled her into his arms. He holds her thigh, trying to comfort her.
"Rose!? W-why are you crying?" Did he just say something that hurt her heart? Evan worries. What’s more, her cries are getting loud.
"Sorry, Rose... I’m so sorry if my words made you sad. But please stop crying. My heartfelt ache to see you cry like this...." Evan releases his embrace. He was trying to wipe her tears, but to his surprise, the girl suddenly smiled amid her tears.
What happened? Why does she suddenly smile?
"Evan, I cried because I was too happy to hear your flattery words..." Rose can’t help but smile when she sees how panicked Evan is.
"Huh! Shouldn’t you be smiling? But, why are you crying?" Evan is perplexed.
"Mmm... Well, you will not understand how my brain works, Evan." Rose smiles as she buries her head in his chest again. "Let’s sleep...." She placed her hand on Evan’s waist and tried to sleep.
After being honest with Evan, she felt her shoulders feel so light. Instantly her mind became much calmer. And she was very grateful that Evan would not leave her even though her parents’ past was so miserable. This man promised to protect her and her mother. He was even willing to give up everything he had to be with her.
How could she not be moved by this? Right now, she can’t express how grateful this man was for being chosen. She could only vow in her heart that she would be loyal to this man.
