章 249: Baby Names

Loriel looked at this woman who still managed to find the good in him despite everything that happened between them. Instead of getting upset that he did not love her, Elise was over the moon because he wanted to learn how to love her. 

She looked at the things he did with joy and in a light that was too pure.

"Oh, Elise… I'm such a fool for not already loving you," Loriel muttered to himself. "Another person would already be grateful for being beside such a beautiful and loving woman and yet here I am, being that belligerent fool."

"Loriel, I do not think that you can easily change your heart's desire," Elise took her hand in his and gave him a kind smile. "The heart wants what it wants. When you love someone, even if your head tries to argue with it, it cannot be stopped."

Loriel looked at Elise in surprise. That was almost just like his own thoughts. 

"I… that's true," he said.
