Chapter 266 - She was really hiding something from him. (1/2)
Lifen didn't wanted to let Deming know yet about the guilt she was holding in her heart. The pain that was jabbing her inside especially when Deming blamed everything on himself.
It was not his fault. What he did was just the consequences of her stupidity from twelve years back. If she hasn't been so childish and stubborn in her childhood, then so much misunderstandings wouldn't have taken place between them.
Now she felt so stupid. When Deming asked her what was it, she was hiding behind her tears, she has no words actually to tell the tale of guilt inside her heart. She so wanted to reveal that she was the one from their childhood to whom he has promised to return.
But at this moment she just can't let him know this. She wanted him to stay far away from the guilt, so she would just not tell him at this moment. Wiping her tears off, she stood up and held his hand to led him back excusing herself saying, she was famished.
She thought she has escaped but Deming did have other plans in his mind too. If there was anything was hurting her then he needs to know it so that he can resolve it completely for her. He won't let her cry for anything. Her tears are too valuable to be wasted like this.
The moment she walked forward, she was tugged behind only to be wrapped by his arms firmly around her. Soon she felt his mint fragrant warm breath over her ears asking her again.
”What is it, Little Cat?”, his words going more firmer than before. And his breath doing nothing good to her. It was making her senses go weak, making her submit to his words. She was losing her reasons to think.
It was like her brain was all shrouded with his cologne that has engulfed her all over. She wanted to get away from him to make herself a little sane to distract him from the topic but his arms were really tough around her.
She resisted under his grip but it was to no avail. Seeing her continuous resistance, Deming became more suspicious. His determination to know what exact was going on piqued.
”Sweetheart! Your resistance isn't going to bring any good to you. You too know well, with each passing second my determination is only growing higher. So be quick and tell me exactly what you are hiding from me”, his words coming softly inside her ears.
Lifen bit her lips to bring back her rationality. Using both her arms she tried to pry away the arms Deming has wrapped around her, only to get the failure again.
Exhaling a deep breath, she said, ”Deming… let go please. I said it earlier. There nothing very important at this moment to let you know. Just let me go”. Saying this she tried again but it was really impossible to get herself free from his grip.
”That means there is really something that I am oblivious to. And that thing is really giving you pain inside. And still you are asking me to not ask you about anything. What exactly does it mean, Little Cat?”, his tone growing a little impatient now.
