Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 843: I’ll Send You Flowers for a Lifetime

Rebecca felt a wave of emotion upon hearing those words. Over the years, Mio must have been surrounded by women, yet he seemed perpetually unhappy, always alone.

"Mio, do you really love me?" she asked softly.

"Do you still doubt that I love you, Rebecca? If I had known I would meet you one day, I wouldn't have lived so recklessly back then. Now, do you truly not mind?" Mio thought about his dark past, filled with regret.

Rebecca was pure and untarnished, while he had been with so many women. It was his greatest regret in life. Back then, in his ambition to climb higher, he had allowed himself to become someone he despised.

"If I said I minded, would that change anything? What's done is done. If you're really afraid I'll mind, then treat me so well that I'll forget it all," Rebecca replied.

Rebecca had always been someone with high standards when it came to choosing a partner. If not for falling for Mio against her own expectations, she'd never have chosen someone like him.

Love was such a mysterious thing-it could make you fall for someone you once despised. Love could forgive everything.

"Rebecca, I'm so happy. I really am," Mio said, his voice trembling with emotion.

"You don't have a family. From now on, I'll be your family," Rebecca said, suddenly understanding the things Mio had done in the past. What he had truly longed for deep inside was a family.

"Rebecca, I... I want to kiss you. May I?" Mio asked hesitantly. In their relationship so far, the most intimate moments they'd shared were holding hands and hugging.

Because she was the woman he loved, he cherished her deeply. Even kissing felt like a sacred act to him.

Rebecca looked at him as if he were a child timidly asking his parents for candy, afraid of being refused.

"Did you ask those other women for permission before you kissed them too?" she teased.

"I've never kissed their lips, Rebecca. You're not them, and I won't let you compare yourself to them," Mio said seriously.
