Chapter 325 - Glass Treasure Part 2 (2/2)
”No, it's your decision.”
Lyn bit his lip when she saw how bitter he seemed. ”I didn't want to have to call brother, so…”
”Yeah.”
”Rhys…”
”Sit down.”
She meekly nodded, and Rhys pulled her onto his lap. ”I know I can't have you, but that's only temporary. I won't let anybody take you from me.”
”Rhys, why did you choose me? I think somebody like you is capable of getting any girl. It doesn't have to be me, does it?”
”Your right, I can have anybody I please,” Rhys nodded.
”Then--”
”But, none of them will ever match up to you,” Rhys trailed off. ”After we parted ways, I tried to forget you. I tried to be with other girls. But I could not care for anybody as much as I did you.”
”You couldn't, not even Beth?”
Rhys nodded, ”Yeah. Honestly, I couldn't get into a serious relationship with beth. Maybe it was because of how our relationship started s.e.x.u.a.lly..”
Lyn sighed, ”I don't understand that mindset. Why did you have to fool around for? Couldn't you have entered a normal relationship? It's not like your a bad guy,” she mumbled. Any girl who Rhys liked would undoubtedly be treated like a treasure. She should know, look at how he treats her.
Even though Rhys made her sit on his lap, he ensured she was comfortable and kept checking on her every few minutes.
”Do you realize that if Prince Allen had intended to stop you from going out, there's nothing that could prevent him. After all. .. that man is the head of the organization Onyx. ' The Onyx first started off as a scattered group; there were presumed to be many. But not large enough for a nation, at least that's what was reported. Bit by bit your fiance from a prestigious blood line found them all and gathered them to his region. A tale that is commonly known and told. However, some know the real story.”
Lyn chuckled, ”Of course I know about it. I'm not foolish enough to think that my power could ever compare with him. But since he learned the truth about me, he has not discarded me, nor has he looked at me with disdain. I was prepared for him to hate me, to loathe me for taking so many lives, and for tricking him. But it was not like that at all.”
”That guy, if he truly cares about you...he would accept you no matter what.”
She nodded, ”Ah-huh. I interpret it as him telling me that I can do whatever I want from now on.”
A deep sigh escaped Rhys lips. He seemed very troubled by her declaration. ”Why do you seem so worried?”
”Lyn, you have a bad habit of getting into trouble no matter where you go.”
”Untrue!”
Rhys sighed, ”Alright, why don't we make a compromise?”
”Compromise?”
”Yeah, as long as you promise to bring me whenever you do anything dangerous, then I'll agree to it.”
A chuckle escaped her lips, ”Isn't that just an excuse to be with me more?”
”Since I'm caught, there is no use hiding it.”
Really, what a shameless person. ”I don't dislike such honesty.”
”I know.”
