Chapter 515 - I was serious (2/2)
He hugged her for a few extra seconds before letting go and they resumed the walk. Rhys didn't know where he was going so he was mainly following Lyns lead.
”Now that we are alone, I thought...”
Rhys sighed. ”I'm not that much of a fool. Besides you...” He trailed his fingers against her lips. ”...don't feel very well right?”
Lyn covered her mouth and laughed softly. ”Well, that would be your fault.”
A troubled expression appeared on his face but Lyn seemed happy. This girl is getting weirder as each day goes by. He moved away from her and continued to walk in front of her.
”Hey Rhys, can I ask you something?”
”What?”
”Why are you always with me? Aren't you busy?”
At that comment Rhys felt very uncomfortable. 'How can I tell her that I make time for and push away loads of work deliberately.'
”Rhys you make so much of an effort for me.”
”Well you are my future wife.”
Lyn laughed again. ”Your really serious about that?”
”Of course.”
It is too late for him to back down.
His thoughts broke off when he felt Lyn hug him from the back. Her dainty arms wrapped around his waist tightly. Rhys clenched his fist. It seems she has already sensed his change in emotions. Earlier this morning he received a rather disturbing letter from home.
”Rhys, it's okay...” She mumbled. ”Talk to me.”
Rhys didn't know where to start but after she said those words he had to tell her.
”I see, a letter huh from home.”
”Well I figured the elders decided to ask my family because they can't get through to me.”
”You've been ignoring...”
”Just short replies.” He couldn't ignore them completely.
Lyn hugged him tightly and his heart felt like it would melt. ”Your clingy today.”
”You hate it?”
Of course he doesn't. Rhys mumbled against her hair. ”I just want you to know in advance. It will be troublesome when they come here.”
”Mmm, I understand. But it's okay, I have to introduce myself.”
”Your okay with meeting them?”
”Well you just said that I'm your future wife, I'll have to meet them eventually.”
'She says that but she looks hesitant.' Rhys cupped her cheeks. ”Lyn.” He mumbled. ”Perhaps...”
”Were not breaking up.”
”Are you sure?”
”I thought it through. Sure this relationship is odd. But I was serious when I said I liked you.”
