Chapter 182 - Stay Free (1/2)
By the time Hinari realized that the man wasn't wearing a disguise, she looked at him with exceedingly confused gaze.
What's going on? He's not wearing any mask? But…
Looking at her immensedly puzzled face, Zaki could only sigh before he messed her hair again.
”Little girl, stop playing around now---”
”But, how did you know I'm always wearing red lipstick?”
”Who do you think I am? Grandpa talked about you once so of course, I searched a bit to see what kind of girl are you.” He said, causing the girl's eyes to narrow as soon as she heard him.
Seeing her reaction, Zaki spoke again. ”Now tell me little pervert… tell me the real reason why you're against the marriage and I'll gladly consider your request.”
”I already told you right? My heart already belongs to someone else..” She replied, causing Zaki to stand up. And as he was about to leave, the girl grabbed his hand again.
”Okay, I'll say it. I'll say it. But you have to promise me first.” She added with firm and serious voice.
That moment, as he looked at the absence of the familiar mischievous expression on her face, Zaki somehow could tell she's finally getting serious.
”Okay, you have my word.” He then said and the girl let go of his hand as she leaned back on the couch.
”I don't want to get constrained with anyone. I just want to live my life freely.” She said and as he heard her brief but firm and straightforward answer, Zaki didn't realize that he could only do nothing but smile upon hearing her.
The sudden astonishing intensity and determination in her eyes made him somehow heaved a long sigh of relief.
So you just wanted to be free, huh… not bad miss pervert, you really are something…
”Okay, I get it. Rest assured I won't stand against the engagement until you say so.” And then he added with serious tone that made the girl just looked at him speechless.
”You don't have to worry. Just live your life the way you wanted.” he continued and he just gently ruffled her hair again as he smiled before he suddenly turned his back and walked away. Causing the girl to just blinked as she watched him leave.
