True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 292 Memories of the Past

Julian was scared of hurting the kid, so he kept his emotions in check the whole time. He just held Alissa's face and kissed her lips over and over. As they got close again, memories from three years ago popped into his head.

Back then, Alissa always had this big smile. When she saw him picking her up from school, she'd run towards him, all excited.

She'd throw herself into his arms, look up, and smile at him. "Julian, how'd you know I was thinking about you during class?"

He'd pinch her cute nose and say softly, "You went abroad to study, not to think about me during class."

Alissa would rub her cheek against his chest and pout, "Studying and thinking about you don't clash. I topped my class again. You gotta reward me."

Julian would grin proudly. "You're amazing. What do you want? Just name it."

With a playful glint in her eyes, Alissa would stand on tiptoe and whisper in his ear, "I want you."

Hearing that, Julian felt his ears turn red. He'd gently rub her head, laughing. "You're not grown up yet, that's not allowed."

"I'm already 22, how am I not grown up? My classmates have kids at 22. Do you not like me? Are you still thinking about your first love?" Alissa's eyes would well up as she looked at him.

After being turned down over and over, she felt more hurt than anything. She'd liked Julian from the moment she first saw him. Even though she knew he had someone else in his heart, she kept trying.
