Cyrus looked at the woman in front of him.
Gone was the confidence and the boldness that she always show to everyone.
This is the second time she told him she was scared.
Back when he told her that he wished to give the relationship a chance, he already saw that the emotional scar she's hiding was too deep. All he was seeing back then was just the tip.
Back then she told him she was scared of giving their relationship a chance but he didn't know why.
This time, she's telling him why.
It was because she knew how lacking she still was.
She knew, she has so many things she couldn't do if his mother's side were to truly make their move.
And so she was scared to show the world that their relationship is getting better. Scared that their enemies would bare their fangs and she would have no chance of fighting back.
"Do you realize why you are so scared right now?" he asked.
I love this chapter for it showed a side that male leads rarely have... Sometimes they are made to just accept things even an apology... But her it showed that he was truly hurt... I don't know... How about you?
