Bab 443: Did I express myself well?

"Do you like me too?" His question was akin to him pushing her pause button, freezing her as she stared at his pair of menacing russet eyes. "I hate the push and pull game, Miss Zhou. Embrace what you desire, because I don't plan on letting go of the things I want… including the people I want." Without batting an eyelid, his breath caressed her ears gently.

Zoey gulped a mouthful of saliva, pursing her lips into a thin line as she failed to avert her gaze away from him. It was as if she was being controlled, slowly drawing her in in his strikingly tantalizing yet dangerous eyes.

"I…" Her words trailed off as her lower lip trembled. "I… this is not how you should express your feelings." Instead of giving him a direct answer, the words that escaped her lips were something she didn't think about.

"I see…" Surprisingly enough, Matthew took her words calmly. He nodded his head in understanding, yet keeping her in his arms still.
