Chapter 152: 13.8 Reunited

A-Xuan's eyes moistened, and Kyrios asked nervously, "Do you believe me?"

A-Xuan nodded. "I do."

Kyrios let out a breath and said, "Just so you know, you're the only person who was able to make my heart beat. Before you, I didn't know what it was to care for someone."

A-Xuan said, "I only want you to feel that way about me because you're the only person who makes my heart beat too, Gege."

Kyrios felt his heartbeat quicken and asked, "Do you love me?"

He could swear he saw love in A-Xuan's eyes. A-Xuan asked, "Do you?"

Kyrios immediately replied, "I do, baby. I love you so much. It feels as though I've loved you forever."

A-Xuan said emotionally, "I love you more, Gege."

Kyrios was left speechless. A-Xuan leaned in and kissed him tenderly. Kyrios closed his eyes and followed his lead, and when A-Xuan asked for access, he granted it.
