Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 841: No More Apologies

Rebecca used to think Mio was just pretending, putting on a show. But one day, when she saw him being kind to another woman, her heart felt as though it had been struck hard. It hurt-really hurt.

"Are you trying to scare me to death?" Mio's heart nearly stopped. If he hadn't pulled her away in time, Rebecca would've been hit by that car.

When he turned to see her tears falling, his mind went blank. He clumsily tried wiping them away.

"Do you think I'm dirty? That I shouldn't touch you? If so... then I won't touch you anymore. Just, please, don't cry." He let go of her body but still tried to dry her tears, his actions awkward and almost laughable.

Rebecca had only seen this side of him once before-when he caught a hamster for her that night. Otherwise, Mio was always the picture of a flawless, elegant gentleman.

But who was that girl just now? The thought of someone else being so close to him made Rebecca's heart ache even more.

Her frustration only made her tears fall faster. Mio, who always prided himself on understanding women, was now utterly confused by her. Was she here by chance? Or had she come looking for him? And if she came for him, why leave?

Questions swirled in his mind. His face showed his panic. "Please, stop crying, okay? It's breaking my heart. Do you not want to see me? If so, I'll leave. Just... stop crying."

With that, Mio turned to leave, quickening his pace in hopes that Rebecca would stop crying sooner.

Rebecca stomped her foot in frustration. Wasn't he supposed to understand women? How had he become so clueless all of a sudden?

"Mio!" Her voice cut through the air-it was the first time she had spoken today.

Mio froze mid-step. Before he could turn around, he felt her arms wrap around him. "Don't go..." Rebecca's soft murmurs reached his ears. This was no dream. It was real. He could feel her warmth.

"Rebecca, what's... what's wrong?"
