Catherine didn't say anything and turned silent but after a while her face tuned back again and small smile broke from her mouth
"I'll think about it then." Catherine said with a slight smile, she now understood that Alex respected her choice, and didn't want to force her
"Haft...that's good." Alex said and breathe in relief after Catherine's face turned to normal
"Why do you feel is as if a huge burden has lifted in your shoulders." Catherine asked
"No, it's nothing, but think carefully okay, because I don't know what to do if you rejected me." Alex said
'I hope she accepts me though, I don't really know what to think is she got another man." Alex thought but he didn't know this time that his Envy turned violet but quickly calmed down
"Then what would you do?." Catherine asked with an amused smile
"Well, I don't really know." Alex said
"Really? but well I'll think about this seriously then." Catherine said
"I'll wait for it." Alex said then remembered something, and his emotions suddenly got depressed
'Sigh, maybe in this life you are not meant to be my woman, how could I convince her to accept that I have many women, because I don't really know why but I think this is related to how she hates man.' Alex sighed and got depressed thinking about it
Of course Catherine noticed the change in his emotions, because you can clearly see it on his face
Catherine frowned thinking of what suddenly happened to him but she then had her answer as Alex turned normal but with a forced smile
"I think it's okay to stop this, I'm already prepared for your rejection and I think I won't do anything." Alex said with a forced smile
'I rather have you hate me, than you being disgusted with me.'
Catherine this time didn't turn emotionless or anything, but her eyes got surprised of what he said, just a moment ago, he really wanted her to accept him, but why just now he suddenly said that he is already prepared to be rejected, but why she didn't turn emotionless this time is because she knew that something happened to him, as a woman of have interacted with many and crafty people, she is good at knowing a persons expression, paired with Alex forced smile that can clearly be seen, she knew that he has a reason for him to say this
"Why?." Catherine asked coldly, although she knows that something happened to him, she was still angry of what he said
"No-it's nothing really." Alex said while raising his head to look above, he didn't want her to see his face, but he didn't know that she already saw him
Catherine knew that Alex didn't want to tell her about it, she was a bit angry and also sad that he denied her
"Just tell me." Catherine raised her voice a bit
"Well, I just think that we wouldn't work up together." Alex said and face her again while trying to hide his emotion
"I know you had a reason just tell me already, or I really won't accept you." Catherine was really angry since still won't talk about it
"Sigh* Fine, let me ask you a question." Alex said with a serious face
"What is it?." Catherine was now really impatient of what made him give up on her suddenly
"What do you think is better, the one you love hates you or the one you love disgusts you?." Alex asked, but he was still hoping that she could really accept him
Catherine lowered her eyes a bit thinking what was the question about, of why would she hate him or disgust him, but she still answered,
"It's better if the one you love hates you than disgusts you." Catherine said because this was really the right answer who would want the one you love disgust you
"Then you have your answer." Alex said
"I don't understand what this mean. how is it related for you to give up on me?" Catherine asked
"Then let me ask you, what do you hate the most?." Alex asked
Catherine thought for a while but she only arrive at one answer and that "MAN", she then frowned of Alex knew about this
"Did you know it?." Catherine asked with a frown of how the hell does he know it since she is the only one who knows it because she never told anyone
"If it is about you hating man, then yeah." Alex said, truthfully
"How did you know?, No! that is not the point now, I hate man but I don't disgust them, and judging by you question earlier it seems you think I will disgust you." Catherine said, she didn't want to focus on how she knows her secret, she only wants to focus as how the hell would she disgust him
"I don' really know if you will really disgust me, maybe I'm just overthinking things but how do you think you change hate to disgusts?." Alex asked
"I don't know." Catherine shook her head
"Just get to the point already, why did you even think I will hate you or even disgust you, yes I hate man but did I ever show that I hated you? now to the point of me being disgusted by you? how could you arrive to that, I never showed anything that would make you think I rejected you or hated you." Catherine was mad, why did this guy assume that she hates him, even though she didn't tell anything regard about it
"Fine, the truth is I don't want to give up on you because maybe I would be devastated by it, but you see I have many women already, and knowing that you hate men paired with me having other women wouldn't that make you fell disgust about me? because I know almost all women hates having their man being shared, and I don't even know why or maybe I'm just lucky that my girls is fine with it" Alex said, but he didn't raise his voice or anything as he was calm, not being affected that Catherine was mad at him and raised her voice
Catherine's emotions first turned violent then calmed down, because she already expected this as strong as him not having many women is a pipe dream, but before she could say anything back
The whole building shook as an immortal/preparation rank aura got unleashed and not only one at that
"Shit we got company." Alex cursed he didn't sense because he was really focusing on the talk with Catherine just now
I want to ask would you want someone you love hate you or disgust you??
Well my answer is the same as our MC I wouldn't want her to disgust me
