Chapitre 37: Vow

He knew that the best way to court her was to do it step by step. He was prepared for a long-term battle. However, he didn't expect that his rationality was so weak that it flew to disappearing land the moment there was a small opportunity.

It was a moment of impulse, and he acted rashly. He knew that she would reject him. She didn't trust him yet. But he still had to try the direct approach.

Who is it? Who is it who made you so afraid to trust?

As quiet as possible, he leaned over and ran his gaze at the sleeping beauty. Her deep brown eyes were closed. Her cherry-like lips hid a smile. Her face pretty and tranquil.

Watching and watching her, a burst of emotions engulfed his heart. His hand caressed her face, and a beautiful feeling hit his fingers. As though possessed, his breathing pattern shortened as he gasped for air in silence.

Difficult to resist, he lowered his body over her. His heart pounded harder and harder against his chest. Her soft breathing made his heart grew excited.

Unable to restrain himself, he lightly kissed her hair, her eyes, nose, cheeks, before he raised his eyes to look at her face –– his expression overflowing with adoration for her.

The person lying in comfort on the grass with a book on her stomach didn't wake up. She appeared to be in a deep sleep.

In the past twenty-two years of his life, he never once fell in love with someone. He had long accepted the fact that his life would just be full of hard cold numbers, endless scheming, and planning. Never he expected that she would barge in one day and made his frosty heart beat back to life.

The feelings he had when they first met was new to him. In one day alone, he felt emotions he thought he would never experience in this lifetime.

The excitement when he saw her panicking. Joy when he saw her smile. Amused when he saw her wits.

He loves to watch how her pure and honest eyes change emotions, from anxious, happy, annoyed, and angry. He loves to stare at her and couldn't get enough of her expressions.

Just being with her makes him happy and contented.

Intoxicated with the feeling, from there and then, he vowed to make her his.
