Bab 122: I had a teacher

'When I first came into this world, my only aim was to make Sullivan feel alive. He was so distant and aloof, his eyes darkened by a thirst for revenge. I loved him as a fictional character, yet I never expected to fall for this man. And now, he's asking me to be his, completely and forever. So what's stopping me? Why does fear grip me? What if I return to my original world? Will he be able to live on?'

Sullivan's gentle voice broke through her thoughts. "What's wrong? You're taking a while to answer. I'm not teasing, Lia—I mean every word."

Her gaze softened. "Have you truly started trusting me?"

He chuckled, as if the question were absurd. "Yes. Why? Do you plan to betray me now?"

"Never," she replied firmly, her voice steady. "I'd be honored to be yours forever… completely."
