Chapter 134
"I'm here!"
The first thing I said after opening the door.
Her eyes were full of joy but also a bit reserved. "Come in... come in."
The reality was different from what I had envisioned. I had imagined that we would embrace passionately and kiss fervently as soon as we met, but in truth, we were both a bit reserved and embarrassed.
"Mm." I nodded and walked in. She closed the door and locked it behind me.
The room was large and inviting, with a cozy arrangement. Near the window, there was wine and steak on the table, accompanied by flickering candles.
It was only at that moment that I realized the bed was adorned with petals, and the scent of roses filled the room.
"Please... have a seat." She brushed the hair falling around her ear and seemed shy.
I took her hand. "You sit too!"
After we both sat down, I couldn't help but say, "Oh, darling, you look so enchanting tonight!"
I held her soft hand in my right hand, revealing the "sweet" tattoo boldly, and she noticed it too. "The tattoo on your hand..."
"I got it specifically for you." I smiled, "How about it, do you like it?"
"You got it for me?" She hesitated for a moment, her eyes filled with emotion. "Do I deserve you to do this for me?"
"Of course you do. Before I met you, everything in the world was dull. But after meeting you, I suddenly felt that life is worth living!"
Whether she's eighteen or eighty, every woman loves to hear sweet words.
Remember, to get out of being single, you must remember this phrase.
"I apologize for earlier today. I didn't handle the situation as I should have, and instead, I blamed and hurt you. I have reproached myself countless times internally, and as I was doing so for the thousandth and first time, I resolved to come and find you!"
I said with a magnetic voice, "I'm Troy, and I swear to protect you completely."
"Troy? You said your name is Troy?"
"Yes, why, is that name not good?"
In fact, t this was deliberate on my part. Wearing this mask as a disguise couldn't be sustained for long.
"Good... good name." She smiled, "Darling, my... my real name is actually Jenny!"
Well, at least it's not made up out of thin air.
"Nice, can I call you Jenny from now on?"
"Yes, sure!"
She nodded shyly but then asked, confused, "Did you drink before coming here?"
I wasn't alarmed. I had already planned how to respond.
"Yes, I thought I'd be able to see you soon, got too nervous, so I had a drink to boost my courage."
The champagne I had earlier was not strong and had a low alcohol content. Additionally, I was overly excited and ended up driving Lily home while under the influence. I felt a bit scared afterward and made a resolution not to be reckless in the future.
She chuckled, "Am I that scary? Do you think I might eat you?"
She didn't think too deeply.
"Of course not; I was just too excited."
I poured her a glass of wine and one for myself. Raising the glass, I said, "To our first meeting."
"Cheers!"
With just a light touch, the atmosphere became romantic.
The room's lights had gone out at some point, leaving only a flickering candle.
The air conditioning in the room was set low, but my body felt inexplicably hot.
After enjoying wine and steak, we sat by the bed, the earlier awkwardness dissipating. The soft light at the head of the bed created a warmer atmosphere. I made a deliberate effort to refrain from making any advances.
"Do you know how much I've missed you? I think about you during the day, at night, in my dreams, even when consoling myself; it's about you."
She whispered, her cheeks turning red, but a mature woman is a mature woman. Leaning against me, she said, "I miss you too, so much that I can't sleep. There were moments when I had to change my underwear just thinking about you...”
I hesitated as her words were quite direct, almost a clear hint. However, I knew I had to hold back from being too forward, even though I desired more. Following her cue, I replied, "I feel the same way. I change clothes almost every day..."
This response seemed to relax her, and she melted into my embrace. As I lifted her up, her shapely buttocks made it challenging for me to resist. The aroma of orchids and musk on her skin continually stirred my restless heart.
I knew that if I took her now, she wouldn't resist at all. On the contrary, she would actively cooperate.
But things would definitely escalate afterward, like... she would want to see my true face.
That was a certainty.
The first time, I could come up with excuses to avoid it, but the second time, I couldn't say no. If I did, she would feel deceived and that I had played with her emotions.
She was already emotionally hurt, and adding to that would make it unforgivable, with no chance of moving forward. As I contemplated this, my thoughts became clearer.
I couldn't go through with it, at least not until I knew how to navigate our relationship. My focus now was on taking the chance to deeply connect with her heart, making her unable to imagine life without me.
"Let me see your wound," I said softly.
She trembled. "No... please don't."
I gently touched her chin, gazing into her eyes. "I want to witness it, to etch it deeply into my heart. I want to see clearly the pain that scumbag caused you. I will make sure to repay him tenfold, a hundredfold in the future!“
"Don't, you're not him... don't provoke him."
"Do you lack confidence in me?"
"No, it's not..."
" You lack confidence in me. His family has power and connections. You think I'm just an ordinary person who can't handle him, right?”
I looked at her intently and said, "Trust me, I won't rely on useless efforts or physical force. Instead, I'll use my intelligence to strategically take him down, one step at a time."
She shook her head, saying, "I don't want you to get hurt."
I firmly held her shoulders, "Jenny, believe in me. I don't want my partner to live under the influence of a despicable person. I want to dispel the darkness in your heart and let you bask in the sunlight once more.”
At that moment, Jenny was stunned, mouth agape, unable to speak for a moment.
Continuing, I expressed, "If I can't even protect you, what kind of man am I? Why should I have you, why should I keep you, and why should I utter those insincere words to you!"
Jenny was no longer a naive girl; she valued reality over sweet words that only provided temporary comfort, not lifelong assurance.
"I promised to protect you unconditionally for a lifetime. Not a month, not a day, not a minute, not a second less!
