Bab 369: Just for now

Abi pulled away and stared into his face while Alex lifted his hand to wipe her tears away. His brows pulled together because seeing her cry was unbearable for him.

"Shh… don't cry…" he uttered. His fingers continued caressing her face gently but her tears continued flowing as she stared at him.

"Such a crybaby…" he continued and he pulled her face towards him. His lips replaced his fingers and he kissed her tears away, trying his very best to calm her down, to make her feel better, and to make her stop crying.

His lips trailed down until their lips met but after a second or two, he halted. He didn't dare devour her lips even if he badly wanted to kiss her because his mind flashed back to that moment again when he had grabbed her neck. That scene was still too vivid in his mind and he couldn't help but curse himself.

He pulled away, bumping his forehead on hers.

"I'm sorry…" he began. "Forgive me, Abigail."
