Chapter 596 Possessiveness
Sawyer only felt that there was no explanation.
He looked at Lyric helplessly. "How can I make you trust me?"
"No matter what you say, I won't believe it."
Lyric said mercilessly.
Sawyer's eyes flashed, and finally he said, "Okay, then I won't say it."
"I'll prove it directly."
After that, Sawyer pushed the crowd away and knelt down in front of Lyric.
Lyric, "!!!"
What was he doing?
Before Lyric could step back, Sawyer took out a small box from his pocket.
Eliza's pupils dilated. Oh my goodness, was he preparing to propose?
Matthew and Beau had planned for such a long time, but Sawyer was going to take the lead. How could that happen?
Eliza's heart was filled with mixed emotions as she calmly looked at the two people over there.
Sawyer opened the box, revealing a necklace inside.
The moment Lyric saw it clearly, she heaved a sigh of relief.
She felt a little lost for some reason.
"When I was in the Sage City, I wanted to finish training the children every day so that I could come back to accompany you."
Sawyer looked at Lyric seriously, explaining his feelings during this period of time.
"But the reality doesn't allow it. Hamza ordered me to teach them well before returning to China."
"You know how important Hamza is to us. I won't disobey his orders."
Lyric's eyes were filled with emotions.
"Now that you have pushed the blame to Hamza and the little children, it's not your problem, is it?"
Lyric said sarcastically, "You don't have to shirk your responsibility. You're not like you in the past at all."
Sawyer sighed and found that Lyric really didn't believe him now.
She simply ignored her words and continued, "Although I can't return to China, I have never stopped missing you."
"The shape of this necklace is exactly the same as the one you were wearing. It's your name."
"I searched through all the boutiques in the city, and finally found such a necklace that you may like. Since then, I've always brought it along with me."
He just wanted to find an opportunity to confess to Lyric when he came back.
"I was too slow before, and I was too cautious. I was afraid that once our relationship changed, we would never be able to go back."
"You know me. I, Sawyer, am not afraid of anything. I'm just afraid of losing something. Because I once had too few things, I'm not willing to destroy the balance between us."
Lyric took a deep breath and finally understood what Sawyer's resistance to her during this period of time was.
To be honest, Lyric could understand Sawyer's worries.
Because they were the same kind of people, and she was used to staying with Sawyer. If she would lose him one day, she would rather return to the state of siblings.
However, after Sawyer said these things, Lyric felt that they really couldn't be together.
"You didn't want to break this balance before, but now you take the initiative to break it. Sawyer, aren't you afraid of losing me?"
Sawyer's hand, which was holding the box, trembled slightly.
He complained in a low voice, "If I continue to be afraid, I will really lose you."
As soon as he thought of the man who stayed with Lyric that day, Sawyer gnashed his teeth in hatred.
He had also completely woken up from this incident. He could not allow Lyric to be with someone else, nor did he want to witness how happy Lyric was other with someone than him.
Lyric could only be his. She could only be tied to him for the rest of her life.
Hearing Sawyer's words, disappointment flashed across Lyric's eyes.
"So what do you want to do now?"
"I want to give you the necklace and then tell you my feelings." Sawyer plucked up his courage and looked at Lyric seriously. "I like you. Lyric, can we be together?"
"I will treat you well for the rest of my life. I will never bully you. I will definitely listen to you."
Lyric was shocked and her heart began to beat faster.
For a moment, she really wanted to agree.
But in the end, she still shook her head.
"You don't really like me." she said.
Sawyer was anxious and reached out to grab her arm. "Why do you say so?"
If he didn't really like her, why was he so anxious? Why was he afraid of losing Lyric?
Lyric glanced at him and said, "You're still in an affair with other women and you're in a hurry to come back and provoke me. Sawyer, who do you think I am?"
"If you really like me, why have you turned a blind eye to my feelings for so many years? Now you are in a panic to confess to me?"
"That's because I know..."
"Because you know that someone can take me away from you. You want to possess me, so even if you don't like me, in order not to lose me, you want to keep me by your side at all costs."
Lyric interrupted him with a calm expression.
She knew Sawyer too well, because they were so alike. She knew what he was thinking.
Sawyer was stunned on the spot.
For a moment, he couldn't find any words to refute.
"Because you have lost too many people and things, you have to hold the few things you have tightly."
"Do you still remember that Hamza bought you a Transformer toy?"
Hamza didn't know that there was a difference between the real one and the pirated one. Once, he brought back a pirated one for Sawyer. He smiled and wanted to give it to Sawyer as a gift.
Sawyer didn't like the toy at all, and he was very disgusted with it.
Even though he disliked Transformer so much, he still kept it well.
When they moved again, Sawyer's only good friend at that time saw the Transformer and accidentally broke it's arm when he took it to play.
Without hesitation, Sawyer pressed his friend to the ground and gave him a good beating.
For this reason, Sawyer lost the only brother whom he had a good relationship with.
The broken Transformer toy was put into a transparent cabinet and locked by Sawyer after being repaired.
Now, it was placed in Sawyer's collection cabinet and placed in the most conspicuous position.
"To be honest, do you really like that Transformer?"
Lyric's tone was very cold. "I'm afraid not."
Usually, she didn't see Sawyer take it out to play, let alone see how much he cared about it.
But because it was the first time that Sawyer had received a gift from someone else when he grew up, he thought highly of it.
He would not hesitate to break ties with his best friend for it.
"Your possessiveness is so strong." Lyric said with a faint smile. "Now, have I become another Transformer locked in your cabinet?"
Sawyer's face changed greatly, and he couldn't think of any words to refute.
Lyric knew him better than anyone else.
Just when he was struggling to think of a way to speak, a sudden exclamation came from not far away.
Then came the cry of a child and the forceful shout of Jessica "Put down Liliana. What do you want to do?"
