Chapter 109 109: A curse

"Your attempt to persuade my mother went too far. It would be harder to tell her the truth later." Ella and Stefan left the building, but her words stopped him in his tracks, and he turned to face her.

"Who said I was lying? Everything I said was true, and you know it," Stefan said, disappointed that she was still considering telling her mother the truth about their relationship after he had poured out all of his heart.

Sometimes he wondered if Ella was really too stupid to deliberately ignore him, or if she just did not understand him at all.

Ella turned to face Stefan, noting the gloomy expression on his face. She did not understand what he was attempting to accomplish, but she also knew Stefan would not mean anything he said.

Someone who encouraged her to try falling in love with him in order to move past her heartbreak would not show up to make such a confession.

She was afraid in the wrong way because it was far too poetic and real.

Ella blinked when Stefan moved closer to her.

"Believe it or not, whatever I said inside was true and those words came from the bottom of my heart," Stefan said, stubbing Ella dumb.

Stefan knew Ella would never notice his reflex, so he decided to forgo his original plan to take things slowly.

"This relationship may seem fake to you, but it is real to me. Thus, do not even consider retreating because I will stop at nothing at this point." Ella shuddered at the touch of Stefan, his words hitting her like a thunderbolt.
