บท 56: Taking The Admission Test

'Marry her!  What I am thinking.'  Marx was horrified at his thought.  Was he still the same man who considered women to be a nuisance?  But they were still a nuisance to him, except for the young woman sitting across him.

"Go to sleep.  Aren't you taking the admission exam tomorrow?" Marx looked at Amaya with a deep gaze. 

"Are you driving me away?"  Amaya pouted.

"No, I am not.  I am just worried that you might be tired and will not do good in the exam tomorrow."  He breathed deeply.  'This woman, doesn't she know how much I wanted to keep her by my side?'

Amaya stood up, went around the stone table, and held Marx's wrist.  He tugged at him gently.  "Come, I will give you something."

Marx stood up and followed Amaya.  He looked at the small hand that held his wrist and felt a warmth radiating from his hand and traveling through the rest of his body.
