Chapter 535 - I Will Never Let You Go (2/2)

There was the sound of footsteps approaching and the sound of broken branches being trampled behind him, but Alaric did not budge. He did not care for anyone who came near him.

”You ... haven't answered my question,” came Aleksis' soft voice from behind him. Alaric just stayed where he was, not turning his head. He didn't expect that the girl would follow him here.

With all his might, Alaric refrained from turning around and staring at the girl he loved. He knew his mental state. He was very depressed but he did not want to vent his frustrations at Aleksis.

Aleksis walked closer. When she arrived right behind Alaric and their bodies were almost touching, Alaric could hear her panting. He took a deep breath several times, and then finally turned around. That was just when Aleksis took another step forward. Thus, his action caused Aleksis' front body to touch Alaric's.

They felt like sparks flew between them in an instant. Both Alaric and Aleksis sighed in surprise as their eyes met.

Alaric's defense collapsed and, without being able to control himself anymore, he brought Aleksis in his arms and embraced her as tightly as he could. By then, his common sense disappeared to God knows where. He kissed the top of her head longingly.

Aleksis was stunned and for several seconds could not move. She felt that this person was very familiar. His voice, his body, and now his arms made Aleksis feel so peaceful. A crazy thought suddenly got into her mind and she was unable to get rid of it...

What if ...

What if he is ...

Alaric?

”Wa.. wait...” Aleksis finally found her voice and she tried to escape from the man's arms. ”You have not answered my question yet.”

But as she looked up and stared into his pair of brilliant purple eyes, Aleksis realized she did not need an answer. She just remembered that she hadn't seen Alaric's face since they first met again in Singapore ten years ago. When he told her that his face was disfigured, she unconditionally believed him... And she herself also assumed that Alaric was an ordinary human who was aging.

She never thought the possibility of Alaric being an Alchemist like her.

The girl's eyes went round and her lips opened, yet she could not say anything. Her chest started to pound so hard.

This was indeed Alaric!

Meanwhile, all the flames of anger in Alaric's chest seemed to have been washed away by extremely cold water after staring at Aleksis' blue and green eyes and finding love there. These eyes had not changed after ten years, still looking at him with so much affection.

Alaric felt very touched.

She was still the same Aleksis from ten years ago.

He brought his face closer to hers. He immediately kissed the girl's slightly open lips. His cold lips claiming hers as he panted out of excitement.

He relinquished the longing that accompanied his loneliness for ten years when he thought he was all by himself. He let go of the feeling of longing which tormented him for years when he was filled with regret for not being able to say goodbye.

”Aleksis ...” he whispered with a hoarse voice. He then kissed her again. The girl closed her eyes and enjoyed the downpour of Alaric's affections for her. Her mind went blank.

She was afraid that all of this was just a dream, that after she woke up, Alaric would disappear from her side. It was because of this that Aleksis insisted on not opening her eyes. As his tongue entered through her lips and explored her mouth, Aleksis responded lovingly.

”I don't care what happened in these past ten years ... I will never let you go,” Alaric whispered between his kisses.

Although Aleksis was with another man and already had a child with him, Alaric did not care. Aleksis was his and his alone!
