The Woman From Hell

Chapter 83

After a long time, he got into bed, embraced me from behind, and stroked my long hair with one hand. He asked softly, "Did you really mean it?"

"... What?” I asked. I said too many things just now and was not sure what he was referring to.

He turned my body over so that I would be facing him. Cupping my face in his hands, he said, "That you love me so much you can't leave me."

My cheeks were burning and I was terribly embarrassed. It was the first time I said such things and I did not expect him to repeat them.

"Okay, I won't ask." He chuckled before continuing," But, you can't do silly things like that again. Don't you know what will happen if you do that? You’re so silly, aren’t you?" Having said that, he gently knocked my forehead with his finger.

I frowned in pain but did not say anything.

I did not know what overcame me then. I just could not control my emotions when I saw Cindy standing there.

Thinking about it now, it was really silly of me to do that. Cindy was not worth sacrificing my whole life for!

He embraced me so tightly that I struggled to breathe.
