Chapter 539 - What does he want? (1/2)

After walking for a few minutes, Rhys slammed her against the wall and kissed her deeply.

”I understand that you two are friends. But sneaking out without telling me and meeting him will give anyone the wrong idea.”

”...sorry.”

What else can she say? It was a coincidence that she met Kazuya out here, but she knew that logic would not work on him. Lyn noticed how he was strangely nervous and jumpy whenever it came to anything Kazuya related. But then again, considering how this relationship started, it made sense.

She can't completely dismiss his worries either. After all, she has complicated feelings towards Kazuya.

”By the way, I was looking for you.”

”Looking for me?”

Rhys nodded. ”I got permission from your brother, but I have some scrolls and books you might want to read.”

Even though Rhys dislikes her brothers, before he does anything, he always gets their permission. He does not like hiding anything from her. ”I see.”

She tried to avert her gaze from him, but it wasn't easy since he was so close to her.

Her thoughts broke off when he cupped her cheeks. ”I won't get angry anymore. But, you have to let me do what I want.” He is already tugging away at the ribbon of her gown before she could answer.

This man is so helpless. He can be a real jerk at times too. How many times have they fought since he came here?

Lyn leaned forward and kissed him. ”Okay.”

Rhys, however, did not seem satisfied with that answer. ”Just okay?”

Lyn sighed. ”You're difficult today, is it because I met-” Her sentence fell off when she saw the look in his eyes. She sighed quietly again and wrapped her arms around his neck. ”I adore you more than I do anybody else, and yet you doubt me all the time. So how do you expect me to show my affection for you?”

Exactly what does this man want from her?

Rhys pulled her arms away but cupped her cheeks. ”You're crying.”

”I'm not.”

”I can hear your soul cry, you're always in pain. Why can't you be happy around me?” It's not that she can't be happy around him, but there is something else. She likes him a lot but like with Kazuya, just having feelings for him is not enough.

Is it because she decided to run for the throne seriously? Lyn didn't reply, and Rhys didn't wait for his response as he picked her u.

He leaped through the roofs with her in his arms. At this speed, they will reach her chambers quite quickly.

It was so simple back then when the two first came here.
