Chapter 383: PURE WANT

Kaito pecked her lips to calm down the huff. He did not want her to think that he did not want her, but he was also worried. He did not want them to rush into something and for her to regret it later. It would be a great loss because he was willing to wait, however long it took.

"How could I not be interested? I am just a little surprised and curious. It seems a little sudden." He responded cautiously. 

Akira looked at him for a moment to try and see through his thoughts. After a moment, she smiled at him with twinkling eyes. 

"I like to do what I want." She replied simply. "I like the freedom of choosing what to do with my life. When I was younger, every aspect of my life was controlled by someone else. I worked hard so that I can live a life free of conventions and external control." 

Kaito frowned with a little pout. "Is it just that?" 

He did not like this reason.

Akira laughed. "Do you want me to confess?"
