章 836: Only lifeline

I like her. I want to take a chance with her.

Saying all those words to her felt like a heavy boulder rolled off his shoulder. His heart felt light while his mind was set free. Would it be too much if he said he was a changed man?

Evan knew his revelation shocked her. It was evident in her eyes when he looked at her. But her eyes also told him that she felt the same way. She wanted this too, as much as he did. 

But before he could question her more. To tell himself that he was not just imagining it. Someone interrupted them. Her obligation took her away from him.

"I am sorry. But I need to attend to this." Amelia strode away reluctantly from him. 

But he was not walking away from her. He was not giving up this time. He would push through how he felt about her, no matter the consequences. He was not running away from his feelings this time.
