Bab 298: LIKE UNREQUIRED LOVE

'…Please let me be with her. There is nothing I want from this world.' 

While praying to who knew whom, he closed his eyes. His arm securely held her.

The next day, Veronica woke up in the morning. The moment she opened her eyes, her vision landed on the strong muscle. Still drowsy, her brain was quite slow. 

"Like what you see?" She heard a teasing voice from the top of her head.

Rubbing her eyes, she looked up and saw Arthur's tender expression. He lovingly gazed at her. The back of his fingers caressed her face.

His action slowly cleared her mind. The drowsiness disappeared. She found herself nestled in his arms. 

At that moment, she was confused. She didn't know if she should push him away or stay in his embrace. 'If I stay in his arms, it makes me feel like I'm cheating. I'm taking all the affections from him and not giving him anything. But if I don't stay in his arms, he will be depressed.'
