บท 196: Can't Evade

Katherine understood, though. Angelina was jealous and scared that Stephen had other options. If her parents could leave her, what chance did she have with a guy whom she just met?

"I'm a grown man and I have done a lot of things in life. I can't undo those. And I don't want to. Those make me the person who I am, the person you like. I spent the time until I found you. Now that I have you, we'll just overwrite all those experiences and make new memories, okay?" Stephen smiled at her. His eyes were soft and his voice coaxing, making the others feel bitter. 

Wasn't this public display of affection?

Angelina closed her eye. "I can't evade when you say things like that," she said in a small voice. Katherine and Lily startled. First jealousy, then promises of commitment, and now vulnerability and acceptance? This was a whole new Angelina they were seeing and they weren't upset with the change. 

Amazing.
