Chapter 190: His Trick Card
"For me?" Samantha’s pupils dilated at his unforeseen display of affection, her awestruck gaze transfixed on the warmth that emanated from his eyes. When he still held it out for her to take, Samantha received the lovely bouquet, her surprise still evident as she subconsciously held the bouquet close to her chest.
"But... I don’t understand... you just said you don’t like doing this type of thing."
"But you like them, and I like you, shouldn’t that count?" He inquired, a bewitching smile tugging his lips as she held the flower close, her expression blooming in reminiscence of the flowers in her hand.
This is the first time someone has ever offered her flowers !
"I know you can make varieties of them, but do you know why this is different?" Ivan asked the young woman who shook her head slowly, face flushed, and a charming smile adorned his lips as he took a step closer, standing just a breath away from her. "This is different because whenever you look at them, you’ll think of me, and when you think of me, I’ll be there."
"Ivan... people are staring..." Samantha lowered her gaze from his, seemingly aware of the people that watched them. The way he uttered those words, it made her stomach flutter and she could feel her heart develop wings, as if ready to take flight. When his right hand cupped her cheek, he tilted her head up so she could look into his expressive blue eyes, and then he murmured.
"Is it a sin to express my love to you in public as well?" He cocked his head, drinking in her expression while relishing the sound of her heartbeat. "If it’s a sin, then I don’t mind going to hell for it. Besides, I already burn for you."
He declared, not for once lowering his tone but making it audible that even passersby could hear it. Samantha’s heart skyrocketed, and the hands that securely held the bouquet fidgeted, cause for the first time, she was tempted to give in to her own temptation and touch his face, her fingers were itching to trace every sharp angle of his bewitching face, and to Ivan’s surprise, he felt her dainty hand reach up to cup his cheek, his blue eyes widening slightly, but he could feel how her hands shook when she touched him.
"Little Lamb."
