Chapter 220 - Its simple. Love. (2/2)
”What? It's correct though. We gotta play smart. We can save everyone if we choose this way. So.. like if it was me or your mom, then you save your mom and I can get out myself.”
Kris stopped his laughing and got serious again. ”You want me to trust you that much?”
”Yes. And I will trust you that much too.”
”You can't even shoot straight...”
”I can too! I was just lying before.” Lena pouted. ”Need some intimidation.”
Kris gave Lena a quick gently pinch on her cheeks as she pouted. ”Then.. let's do that. I will trust you completely.”
”And... You only have one hour to save me if I get kidnapped.”
”One hour? I don't need that long if it's you.” Kris confirmed.
”Well, let's just say if... and after that one hour, I will kill those bast*ards myself without leaving you any fun because you came too late.”
Kris laughed again. He had been smiling and laughing more since Lena had entered his life. It has become a habit and he would not have his old life again over this.
”Ok. But what if you are too far and one hour is not enough even with the fastest transportation in the world?”
”Well.... let's just keep it 1 hour for a reasonable distance.”
”Sure.” Kris agreed. ”And if I get kidnapped?”
”Pffftt...” Lena burst into a sarcastic laugh. ”If there was ever a day that you get kidnapped, then it would be me kidnapping you. And I will definitely not return you after 1 hour... I will keep you forever in my locked cage.”
”Tsk..”
Lena pinched Kris's nose and then grabbed for the laptop again. ”So... tell me more about this Art of Seduction training you had?”
Lena clicked on the files on the Art of Seduction and many pictures and videos suddenly popped up. Her eye caught the gist of it and she instantly closed the laptop. ”Oh....”
”Oh what?” Kris asked, knowing already what Lena saw.
”Oh... as in Ooh?”
Kris opened the laptop again for Lena and he clicked on the video. As it played, Lena forced herself to watch it expecting it to be some inappropriate video on adults. But after a while... she understood what Kris was trying to show her.
She slammed the laptop shut and put her hand on her face to wipe her tears. ”I don't want to watch it anymore...” She sniffed.
Kris put his left arm around Lena and pulled her toward him to console her. As he did, Lena crashed herself to his chest and cried softly.
”Sorry...” Kris whispered. He did not want Lena to cry but she needed to really see what ”the art of seduction” was... or at least what it meant for him. This was not the first time the topic was brought up. He kind of avoided the entire truth about it last time, but not this time... no hiding from her.
After Lena tears stopped flowing, she wiped the rest on Kris' shirt. She sniffed. ”It was you wasn't it... the boy in the video?”
Kris did not reply and continued to rub her back. With that, Lena knew that it was his way of saying yes.
Lena covered her face. ”Oh my gosh... I feel so guilty.”
Kris stopped and he frowned at her. ”Why?”
Lena looked up at his confused face. ”Because of... of how I attacked you so much like a hungry animal.”
Kris sighed. ”Lena... you are different than anyone else. You can attack me as much as you want and that is acceptable. Plus, I was the one who kept pushing you to attack me.”
”How.. how did you even get past this....?”
Lena just had no word or the thought process of how ”good” Kris turned out from all the horrible things that he experienced. Of course, he was not a prince charming riding on a white horse, but he was not the worst either. Kris did not do drugs, he is not an addict, nor is he some kind of overly insane, uncontrolled human.
”Well... it's simple. Love.” Kris answered. ”First, it was my mother's love... and now it's you, your love for me.”
”I'll never stop loving you.” Lena hugged Kris tightly with her arms.
”I know.”
