Kapitel 228: 228

"I've been told that so many different times by different men who claimed to love me when I was a popular racer." Ellie saw his eyes widen so she put her hands on the sides of his face and he sighed as he leaned closer to her. "You don't have to tell me things you think women like to hear.  I've heard them. You're a very real person when it comes to life. You need to adapt that to love."

Henry staggered back.  "I can't lose myself in a relationship, Ellie.  I watched my parents do so and it was the undoing of our family name.  The new Wong cannot be in love. Love doesn't last. That alone I can trust.  Everything crumbles to dust if you let it sit out long enough." He touched her face and kissed her intensely.  He rolled her bottom lip under his teeth to bit it teasingly as if he wanted her to forget her inquiries. "You're a fast women to push me this far, Ellie.  You really do need to learn to slow down sometimes."
