Chapter 301 - I won what? (1/2)

Aleksis frowned, not understanding what he meant to say. ”I won what?”

Alaric opened his eyes and gave her a small smile, ”You won, my lady. I will follow your words. To be honest, I am desperately holding myself back to avoid falling in love with you, because I know our time will be limited, and I don't want to compromise my heart once the time to say goodbye comes... But because you are willing to take the risk, I will too. If you are willing to have your heart broken just for the sake of that someone you love, then I will too ...”

Aleksis took a few seconds to understand Alaric's words because her mind suddenly refused to work.

”So you mean ... You want to take this chance and try a relationship with me?” she asked in disbelief.

Alaric nodded. ”I will try to open my heart, accept the fact that our time is limited, and live life to the fullest with you in that short amount of time ... For me now, living 30 years with you is better than living forever without you ...”

Ah, he must be thinking about our age difference, Aleksis thought. If only Alaric knew that once they get married, Uncle Aldebar would give him an immortality potion which would allow him to live forever like them...

They would be together for all eternity... not just 30 years.

These thoughts made Aleksis smile. She was glad that Alaric changed his mind and now wanted to open himself to love. Sooner or later, Aleksis would tell him everything, and then they would no longer worry about trivial things like age differences and background.

”I'm sure we will have more than 30 years ...” whispered Aleksis happily.

She approached Alaric and then hugged him emotionally. The man nodded and smiled, sharing her happiness. After that, without hesitation, he stroked her hair and kissed the top of her head.

Alaric had never felt this happy in his entire life.

”I'm very pleased to meet you, Little Girl ...” he said quietly. ”You are an amazing woman, and I think ... I have fallen in love with you.”

Alaric finally admitted that he was in love with Aleksis!

Aleksis blushed then she suddenly took the initiative to kiss Alaric. The man was somewhat surprised, thankfully he immediately regained his senses and returned the girl's warm kiss more passionately.
