Chapter 499 - Red Stained Memories Part (2/2)
”Yeah.”
”But I guess I could tell you. I won't stick to my stubborn convictions. I truly like you Rhys.”
”What about Kazuya? You still like him right?”
”Yes.” Lyn admitted softly. ”But we can't be together.”
Rhys knew that she was holding back from saying the reason why. After spending this much time with her he understood what he issue was. Kazuya keeps disappearing on her, it would make anybody uneasy.
Even if he is not doing anything bad, Kazuya is never at Lyns' side when she needs him the most. He is difficult to contact and never stays in the same place for a long time. It is no wonder that Lyn would rather stick with somebody stable.
If he puts it that way, it sounds quite bad. But Lyn is only a young girl. No matter how mature she acts, she is only seventeen. Having her lover run off all the time and not see him would make anyone turn away. Whats more during these peril times, Kazuya should be the one by Lyn's side the most. But instead he-- a deep sigh crossed his lips.
”I can't say I am doing a good job either.” Rhys mumbled.
Lyn shook her head. ”No, you are. Thank you.”
Rhys nodded and it turned quiet again. Quite some time has passed since such awkward silences have occurred between them. In the past they happened frequently because they did not spend enough time together. But now? Now silences are rare.
'Even now you are quite foolish aren't you?'
Back then and even now. But that is fine, since she said those words back then too. Does she know? He's actually quite a persistence guy. No matter what sh say, he won't care and does whatever he wants. Yet despite his personality being like that, it appears as though recently he respects her decisions. Ah it seems like he really does become a mess when it comes to her.
”What would you like for breakfast? I think the inn has a breakfast serving. Should we eat downstairs or go out?”
Lyn paused to think for a moment. ”Then lets go downstairs. I would like to see what kind of people live here.”
Indeed because they came here late last night, Lyn did not get a chance to say anything.
”Rhys, I didnt bring anything. But..” Her gaze fell on the nightgown she wore.”You changed me into this right?”
”Yeah.”
The girl averted her gaze. ”Then could you bring me the clothes you brought?”
Rhys nodded and stood up. The absence of warmth made him frown. What is this feeling? He does not want to part ways with her even if it is for a moment. He has never felt this way before. What is he going to do? If he keeps falling for her, the situation will end up a lot worse.
The confidence to keep her safe and away from those people after her. Rhys realized it kept diminishing day by day.
