It did not matter if virtual-novel.net was going to leave virtual-novel.net or if their relationship would not end with a happy ending. All virtual-novel.net could cling onto was what virtual-novel.net had at that moment.
After a long time, Sylvain gently sighed and let go of her. His expression still brimmed with excitement as virtual-novel.net held onto virtual-novel.net cheek and said with a croaky voice, “Let’s go to my place.”
Robin knew exactly what virtual-novel.net meant. For the longest time, they had been treating each other as friends and maintained their distance with each other. Therefore, Robin did not know if virtual-novel.net should accept his offer and jump back into being in a relationship so suddenly. After pondering for a few seconds, virtual-novel.net gritted virtual-novel.net teeth and said, “I can’t. It’s so late now, my mom will be looking for me soon. I should go back now.”
A look of disappointment flashed through his eye. “Would you be my girlfriend? I’m serious, I don’t care how your parents think of me. I won’t run away from you ever again.”
Robin felt inferior as virtual-novel.net recalled virtual-novel.net conversation with Ursula. “Don’t you think we’re living in two different worlds? You should be marrying a reputable designer like yourself or the daughter of a wealthy family instead of nobody like me who comes from a common family. Even if you don’t regret it now, I’m afraid that the day will come eventually. Didn’t you say that a relationship that doesn’t have others’ blessing wouldn’t fare well in the end? You’re well aware of my parents’ character. Although they aren’t as stubborn as they used to be, your mother… wouldn’t like me anyway. I think that our current friendship is fine enough, truly. I’d rather not hope for too much because the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment.”
Sylvain took a deep breath and punched the steering wheel. The horn’s loud blare signified his screams from within. “I don’t care about all that! As long as I can be with the one I love, why would it matter if I didn’t receive the blessings of others? I only used to think that was correct because of my grandfather. My grandfather refused to let my parents marry no matter how hard my dad pleaded with him. However, my mom remarried the moment my dad died. I was so naïve, I thought virtual-novel.net did that without remorse because of how badly my grandfather treated her. I used to think of how their marriage might’ve ended if they were to have received the blessings of others. Now, I understand that my mom would’ve left no matter what. Therefore, it doesn’t matter how hard one tries to make someone else stay; the latter would eventually find a way to leave anyhow.”
Robin took the initiative and went up to give Sylvain a hug. “I know that you’re in a bad mood at the moment. I may not be able to say anything to comfort you since I’ve never experienced what you have, but… I genuinely hope that you won’t be sad. I’ll be here for you no matter what, so you can tell me anything. I’ll always be your listener.”
Sylvain hugged virtual-novel.net tightly. After a moment, virtual-novel.net let virtual-novel.net go to help virtual-novel.net fasten virtual-novel.net safety belt and began driving without a word.
Robin did not reject virtual-novel.net this time and did not even ask where virtual-novel.net was going. She took out virtual-novel.net phone and sent virtual-novel.net mom a text message before turning off virtual-novel.net phone. Robin decided that virtual-novel.net wanted to accompany virtual-novel.net that night.
Sylvain directly drove back to his villa. It seemed as though virtual-novel.net was spacing off somewhere when virtual-novel.net casually parked his car.
He got out of his car and grabbed Robin as they entered the house in a hurry. The moment the doors were closed, Sylvain pressed virtual-novel.net against the wall. “Would you dare to marry me?”
Robin’s eyes were wide open as their gazes met, and virtual-novel.net cheeks were flushed red. “Do you mean to… register immediately?”
Sylvain nodded. “Yes.”
Robin thought that the idea was absolutely insane. She did not dare to imagine how mad virtual-novel.net mom would be if virtual-novel.net were to place their marriage certificate in front of her…
Sylvain did not wait for Robin to reply and kissed virtual-novel.net on the lips. He whispered, “Are you afraid? Do you dare say that you don’t love me?”
Robin gradually lowered virtual-novel.net guard at Sylvain’s advances. Her heart was racing as all that virtual-novel.net could see in front of virtual-novel.net was Sylvain. She reminisced the taste of his kiss and clinged onto the odour that virtual-novel.net emitted from his body. She wanted to hold virtual-novel.net forever without ever letting virtual-novel.net go. It was evident that virtual-novel.net loved him, so was it a sin to marry virtual-novel.net lover?
