Chapter 865 - Risky (1/2)

An unusual silence enveloped the entire room. Neither Ashton nor Elsa uttered a single word for quite some time. The silence made Elsa's heart beat faster. Nothing would change the love she had for Ashton in her heart but she was also worried.

Elsa very well knew the darkness of the world Ashton could possibly be a part of. She also knew how things worked there which always scared her.

”Like everyone, I have a dark side too.” Pausing for a while, Ashton added, ”I don't know what he told you but I can vaguely guess it. Neither is he one hundred percent wrong nor a hundred percent correct.”

”I know you might be having many questions in your mind right now and it's completely normal of you to feel that way.” Gently caressing her back, he stated, ”I am not gonna lie to you but this is who I am and how things are meant to be. And it's not like I can't change things, I can but I don't want to.”

Helplessly shaking his head, he chuckled, ”I know it sounds weird but well, this is how it is. But despite everything, I want you to know that I love you and I would do anything to keep you safe even at the cost of my life because that is how much you mean to me.”

Snuggling closer, she answered, ”I know. You don't have to explain yourself—”

”I wanted to talk to you about it a long time back but something or the other kept coming up so—” Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed, ”I am just glad we had this talk. I just wanted to know how you feel about it.”

”I don't know how I feel about it but—Just give me a little time, maybe I will get used to it. I mean—”

”I understand. Take all the time you want, there is no need to rush. Just remember that I love you, okay?” When she smiled and nodded her head, he inquired, ”So do you want me to order breakfast or make one for you?”

”Just order something light, I don't want you to burn down my kitchen.”

”You are what? Are you both out of your mind?” Zixin fornwed.

”Zixin is right and when did this incident happen with Linyang?” Without waiting for their reply, Liang snapped, ”And why didn't you or Linyang tell me anything about it?”

”Linyang is okay and Pulos didn't want to hurt her—”

Cutting him off, Liang frowned, ”And how are you so sure about it? Did you forget that he betrayed you and joined forces with Lawrence and now they are after your life?”

”Yes I do but I have this feeling that Pulos is trying to tell me something and to find that out, I need to meet him,” Andrew stated.

”This is stupidity,” Huang exclaimed.
