Capítulo 111: I Love You

He caught her little hand and held it firmly. He continued to speak in his mesmerising husky voice. "No? Your cheeks have already turned red."

"My skin is so dark. How can you tell if it's red?" At the thought of her dark complexion, she really wished that she could undo all the damage she had done to herself in the past. Was it possible to regain her fair skin in an instant?

He lifted his other hand and gently caressed her face. "Your skin is almost peeling off from the damage. In the future… don't burn yourself to this extent for the sake of avoiding me." He recalled that when she was young, her skin had been extremely fair.

Pain lanced through her heart. "You know that I tanned my skin intentionally… and that I did it to avoid you…"

"En." He nodded somewhat gloomily. "If you really don't wish to see me again, tell me. I'll… try my best not to appear in front of you."

God only knows how difficult it was for him to make such a promise.
