Savannah expected Jason to lose his temper at her right then. He had been so generous and kind toward her, yet all she did was run away from him. But to her surprise, Jason's gaze was still as warm and gentle as ever as he held his hand out for her. She stared at him dazedly. He's really the kindest, most perfect man I've ever met in my life. I've never met a man as gentle as him.

She put her hand into his, and he helped her up onto her feet. "Are you okay?" he asked.

"I'm fine." She shook her head. Fortunately, Jason had managed to find her in time-she wasn't sure if she would have been able to say that she was fine if he had arrived any later.

"I'm sorry, Savannah. I completely neglected your feelings earlier. I shouldn't have forced you to leave with me. I can't treat you like an item that I move around just because I paid for you! If you'd like to leave me, I completely respect your decision. However, you can't run off just like that-it's simply too dangerous. Let's find a hotel and discuss our future plans from there." Jason proceeded to book a room in the most exclusive hotel in town.

Both of them were silent for a while after they settled down in the room. "Have you thought of where you'd like to go?" Jason asked after a long period of silence.

Savannah shook her head. "My initial plan was just to sneak onto the train platform and to travel in the direction that the train brought me. Perhaps I'm just not fated to be on trains. I seem to be especially unlucky whenever I try to escape on a train." She sounded as if she was mocking herself as she spoke.

However, Jason didn't find her words funny at all. "You would rather sneak onto a train than leave with me," he muttered.

no! That's not it! That's not what I meant! I'm not good enough for you, Jason. You're a great man-you're handsome, you're successful... I'm

The idea of marriage, to them, has always been a tool that generated benefits for the family. Ever since they were born, all they cared about was money and power. Love is nothing but a fairy tale to people like them. However, that's not what I want. I just want to spend the rest of my life with a person I love, and I don't wish to sacrifice love for anything else." Jason lowered his head then. "But I guess my love for you is merely
