Chapter 228 - She was doomed to face her grandfathers wrath. (1/2)
Deming got a roller coaster ride of emotions when he faced the indifference of Lifen. He has lost his sanity to maintain his patience and only wanted her to realize that she can't give up on them that easily.
But when Lifen said that it was just a teasing prank that she was pulling on him, he sighed in relief and let his emotions to get calm and normal.
Seeing him getting calm again, Lifen adjusted herself in his embrace to get straightened and then said in a promising tone, ”I won't be going to give up on this relationship that easily unless and until you want so or even after that. So take things easy. I need time to figure out the things with my grandfather”.
She said as she pecked his lips lightly and then shared a hug to assure him with her words and actions.
They were just about to part from each other when a loud cold voice came, making her flinch instantly. ”LiLi, the party is over. And it's time to get home. Let's go”.
Lifen let go Deming instantly and was about to follow her grandfather but the stubborn, rigid man kept her in place.
”Let go!”, she mumbled lightly but the man still didn't move. He just kept his eyes in front on the old man while gently but firmly holding Lifen in his arms.
”Let go my granddaughter!”, the grumpy voice of the old man made Lifen jump as he instantly put all her strength to push Deming's iron grip arms away from her waist and create a good looking distance between them.
She thought that now she can go to her grandfather's side and can explain him carefully but the second she lifted her legs to step forward, she felt a instant tug on her wrist bringing her back to the man.
What exactly is he doing?
Can't he see her grandfather's temper flaring with each passing second?
Why is he becoming more and more stubborn at this very moment? This will only make the things worst for them.
”Deming that's enough. You are only making situation hard for me to resolve. Don't be like this okay?”, she said trying to calm him down and make him understand the need of this situation.
But seeing his eyes getting abnormally dark as if creating a wall of defense and brows getting furrowed, she understood the situation will surely going to get out of her hands.
He bent over her and pecked her forehead and then whispered in her ears, ”Promise me, you will come to see me tomorrow. And you will never leave me again even if you are threatened with the cost my head”.
Lifen can feel his insecurity, his fear to lose her. She nearly laughed at his last sentence. Did he really felt that his grandfather will take down his head in order to keep her away from him?
But she still understood his words as they were prompted to come out because of his inner anxiousness.
She nodded and moved her head a little away from his lips as his warm breath was tickling her down her ears making her heart thump faster and faster.
”I believe you Little Cat. But still I will remind you, don't let others to take your decision especially when it comes to us. Do make it clear that you are not allowed to take any decision alone when it involves both of our feelings and emotions”, he uttered slowly, taking his time as he was still not getting a mood to let her go.
