Chapter 960: Rowenas Tears (2/2)

Roas surprised to see him and slowly stepped down from her bed to observe the man while he sleptRaphael's expression was peaceful His lips curled into a small smile despite the uncoers reached out to hirab his shoulders and shake him to wake up, but then she withdrew her arm and bit back a smile

"What am I supposed to do with someone like you?" she silently asked

Raphael did not move or even twitch at her words Rowena heard his deep breathing and saw the rhyth of his chest, and kneas truly asleep

She pushed back some of her hair behind an ear and then realized that the hairpin was nowhere to be seen—she stood up in alarm, a frantic sensation preoccupied her chest and seized her mind

"Where is it—oh, he must have removed it so it wouldn't be unco around, Rowena found it at the bedside table She slowly picked up the red hairpin and held it in her hand, weighing it as she looked at hiaveat the idea of having it been lost What did you do to ed Rowena to speak a little more honestly, at least he wouldn't be able to hear and yet she could finally get it off her chest

"You you've been here for quite soe for you to leave," she softly said "I'rateful for your presence I know I don't deserve your kindness"

Rowena stared down at the hairpin and closed her hand around it

"I' to be lonely when you leave, do you know that? You have no obligation to take care of er you stay here, the more I'm afraid that when you finally leave—it'll hurtback tears

"So, please let me push you out ofto be by my side after all—so it's unfair, co me rely on you"

After what happened to Julian, Rowena didn't think she could handle another loss

Someday, this man would leave her too, just like Julian And when that happened, she would be broken and crushed beyond repair

Why couldn't he see that? Why did he insist to stay?

From Missrealitybites:

Poor Rowena Her fear is reasonable because she had always been alone and the only people who did love her had all died, leaving her all alone again

It doesn't help that Raphael also didn't understand what he was feeling for her I a and never in love before, he didn't know that he wanted her to be his wife He does have feelings for her, but probably at this point, e is not in his books<
