Chapter 100 - Genuinely desire her (2/2)

Lyn meekly obeyed, Kazuya knew that the girl wanted to complain. But didn't have the strength to do so. No doubt her injuries are throbbing by now.

He looked around and saw Rhys medicine bag. ”Where's Rhys?”

”He's helping Beth make dinner,” Lyn said. Kazuya nodded and reached out for the bag. ”Kazuya, he will get mad if you touch his stuff.”

”It's for your sake, he won't get angry,” Kazuya said. He regrets what he said a second too late since Lyn turned quiet.

'Damn, quit bringing it up,' Kazuya thought when he saw her downcast expression. It's not Lyn's fault that Rhys is in love with her. It's not Rhys fault either for falling in love with Lyn. Kazuya knew that his current mission regarding Lyn used to belong to Rhys. Rhys spent all that time and effort researching Lyn; it's only natural that he would fall in love with her. When Kazuya saw the amount of work his friend put in that case, the elders showed him the research material Rhys handed over - it made him feel incredibly guilty.

Initially, he swore that he would not get attached to Lyn, that once the plan was complete. He would give Lyn to Rhys and give them his blessings. But all of that changed, before Kazuya knew it, he became attached to the girl. He didn't want to let her go. Kazuya found what he was looking for in the bag and poured the contents on the girl's hands. Lyn didn't question him even once, but she noticed the girl staring at him.

”What is it?”

”Kazuya, your very handsome.”

Uh, what? Kazuya stared at the girl dumbfounded, what is she saying all of a sudden? Before he could question her, Lyn continued. ”But, since you always smiling like an idiot, people don't see how handsome you can be. When you look all sullen, and when you're deep in thought though, people can see it.”

Sullen and deep in thought, indeed lately his behavior has been very odd. He can't tell Lyn that it had to do with the meeting he had with her sister. If Kazuya told her that she would puff her cheeks out, and sulk about it. Even though he wanted to tell Lyn not over to think things, the words remained on his throat, and he focused more on the girl's hand in his.

He has never held her hands this long before. Even when they hold hands, it's not long for a long time since Lyn usually ends up clinging to his arm. Kazuya ran his thumb along the edge of her fingers, and Lyn laughed, ”Um, what are you doing Kazuya?”

Kazuya snapped his attention back to her and realized how this whole time he had been thinking things he shouldn't. From the beginning, he knew he genuinely desired her, genuinely wanted to be with her. But Kazuya pushed those feelings aside for the sake of his mission; however, things are different now. They are dating, and she accepted his hand. He doesn't want to let her go.

”I was wondering Lyn, do you want to marry me?”
