Chapter 69 - Eleanors Acceptance (2) (1/2)
Ch-68
Opening the door, Eleanor saw Cedric standing in front of the door feeling worried. A bright smile formed on her face as she stared at him. Indeed, he was the real heartthrob of the woman in this generation.
”What happened?” She asked.
”Eleanor, if you don't like me, you can leave me. But don't torture yourself like this,” Cedric said to her with a worried and regretful expression.
He knew he overdid when he scared her earlier. But he was overwhelmed by his anger and desperation. But she was staying in the bathroom for more than half an hour. He couldn't help but feel flustered at the thought of her torturing herself. If she needs freedom from him and doesn't want him, he would go away. He will not allow her to torture herself. If her happiness lies somewhere else. He would let go of her and will help her reach it without her notice. After all, he Is a person who wants his loved ones to be happy.
”Shh…” Eleanor said pinning him to the wall while placing her finger on his lips.
”Cedric…” She called out. He looked into her eyes. Her usual dark emerald eyes looked different. Her eyes were the hue of the new spring growth, bright and soft all at once. There were flecks of strength, of the kind of green that comes only as summer advances. There is a kind of green that speaks to the soul of nature, of fresh wands of grass and new buds, and her eyes were that bright colour, bold and beautiful.
There used to be confusion and everything else in her green emerald eyes previously were like that, but now he could see the clarity in her eyes. Her eyes looked like they were woven with the finest green threads in the world. There was only one thing that can be seen in her eyes… that was the affection she had towards him.
”I thought about us many times, in many different ways. But every different time… I concluded that I am not fit for you.”
”I couldn't bear the confusion anymore. So… I called my bestie and asked her for her opinion. She said she can't give any opinion on our relationship or the feelings I have for you. But she said… I have to keep all the securities and insecurities aside and ask my heart and soul to know whether I like you or not.”
”She told me… if the answer is a no, then I should stop pestering you and deal with my troubles by myself. And shouldn't toy with your feelings. If I like you, I shall say yes without waiting for the right time. If I wait for it… I am losing the chance of being with you, without even saying it!”
