Chapter 698 - Patience (1/2)

Kay looked at Nitocris, not comprehending. To be more accurate, fearing what Nitocris was saying.

”The problem does not lie with the love that you feel,” Nitocris explained, ”But in making sure and holding back. No matter what, the person that you fell for, is still a minor. You may be sure, you may be matured, but he is not.”

”Whatever you do, you must be patient and wait,” Nitocris said, ”No matter how hard that is. Even if you have to watch him hang out with other people, and go on dates. He needs to grow up first.”

”Just look at me,” Nitocris said, indicating Xing Han, ”This one was forever stuck on Kyle and doing all sorts of things. Holding back all those years took a lot from me.”

Xing Han looked at his beloved with wide-eyes.

This was the first time his beloved actually talked so much and even revealed his innermost feelings.

Was that why his Cookie was abnormally jealous of Kyle all the time? Even though he knew that there was nothing going on between them and nothing ever would? The years of him having to watch and do nothing must have truly taken a toll on him.

Xing Han went over to his beloved Cookie, his heart full and bursting, ”Cookie, it's been hard on you.”

”It was worth it, to have you in the end,” Nitocris answered.

”Let's get married now,” Xing Han said suddenly, ”Why are we waiting anyway?”

Tenderness was apparent in Nitocris's eyes as he gazed upon his puppy, and he placed his hand on his cheek, ”Your father still hasn't quite approved of us yet. Are you sure?”

Xing Han shrugged, indicating that it was no big deal.

But Nitocris knew otherwise.

He knew that even though Xing Han had chosen him above his family, it wasn't as if Xing Han didn't feel anything or was not affected by it. How could he blatantly cut off his heart and feelings for the family that had raised him?

This was the part of Xing Han that he loved so much. His purity, his selflessness, his love.

”He'll never approve,” Xing Han said, ”So why do we need to wait for him to accept us?”

”We're already living like a married couple,” Nitocris pointed out, ”It's only a piece of paper.”

”It's not just a piece of paper to me,” Xing Han responded, ”It's an official acknowledgment that you're mine. That whatever I own, and am, is yours - just as you are mine.”

”Puppy,” Nitocris said, ”I truly do love you so much.”

”As I, you, Cookie,” Xing Han replied, ”Until the end of time.”

Kay, who was completely forgotten at this moment, thought that she was truly unlucky. First, she had to listen to Kyle's bedroom activities, and now, this constant PDAs which were truly too sweet.

She would have done some gagging sounds if it wasn't for the fact that she appreciated Big Bro Nic's thoughts about the matter.

She knew that Joseph was still too young. She wasn't going to pounce on him or anything of that sort. But, she was wondering whether there was something wrong with her for falling for such a young boy.

Hearing Nitocris gave her some semblance of sanity. It also gave her hope. The only thing was … it wasn't just the age factor.

Joseph was Kyle's son.
