Chapter 298 - LIKE UNREQUIRED LOVE

'…Please let me be with her. There is nothing I want from this world.'

While praying to who knew whom, he closed his eyes. His arm securely held her.

The next day, Veronica woke up in the morning. The moment she opened her eyes, her vision landed on the strong muscle. Still drowsy, her brain was quite slow.

"Like what you see?" She heard a teasing voice from the top of her head.

Rubbing her eyes, she looked up and saw Arthur's tender expression. He lovingly gazed at her. The back of his fingers caressed her face.

His action slowly cleared her mind. The drowsiness disappeared. She found herself nestled in his arms.

At that moment, she was confused. She didn't know if she should push him away or stay in his embrace. 'If I stay in his arms, it makes me feel like I'm cheating. I'm taking all the affections from him and not giving him anything. But if I don't stay in his arms, he will be depressed.'

She couldn't forget what he said last night before she fell asleep.

"Nica, I love you. Don't leave me. Stay with me and teach me how to love you properly. I'll do whatever should be done for you. I want to make you the happiest bride. I have no intention to hurt you. Please give me another chance."

It was like a silent prayer of a lover's unrequired love.

Not knowing what to do, her heart began to hurt. She didn't want to deal with the conflicted emotions in the early morning. She took a deep breath and hugged Arthur's strong, lean waist.

Indeed, Arthur's heartbeat raised. She could hear his heart beating fast when she hugged him. She nuzzled her face on his chest and inhaled his nectar. She sensed his arms stiffen on her back, and something hard pressed her stomach.

Her face slowly turned red. She knew exactly what was poking her belly. She tried to avoid touching it and stayed in his arms.

However, Arthur was having a hard time. He woke up twenty minutes ago and was enjoying the lovely sight in front of him. He saw her waking up and couldn't help but tease her.

He didn't expect her to act cute like a small pet. He thought she would definitely push him away or glare at him. He was prepared for it. But now that she acted so cutely, his heart raced. It was like he became an immature teenager who fell in love for the first time in his life.

In the morning, one's sexual hunger stayed at the highest peak. Her acting so cute made his dick throb painfully. He wanted to do it badly.

'No, I have to hold back for her sake. I already forced her last night. She is in a good mood right now. If I force her again, her mood might turn sour. She might think I'm only into her body, not her heart. This time, I'll definitely win her heart.'

He promised himself and hugged her close to his chest. The precious being was alive and breathing in his arms. Even a week ago, he couldn't dream of it. Last night, he slept peacefully. It's only because she was in his arms without pretesting. His sleepless nights and torturous days were gone.

Thinking about how he spent his days looking for her and bringing sacrifices to please the Devil himself to bring her back, he tightened his grip. It was the most hellish time in his life. For the first time, he fought madly to get her back. If needed, he would do that again to keep her by his side.

However, he didn't want to spend days without her anymore. He would fight anyone for her happiness, but he needed her close to him, somewhere where his eyes can reach.

He closed his eyes and began to sweat. He kept telling himself inwardly. 'Endure, endure. You cannot act indecently in front of her. You cannot show your shamelessness when you are trying to make a lady fall for you. you already had your meal last night. You don't need it in the morning. She hadn't had her breakfast yet. She must be tired.'

While he kept telling himself that, Veronica was a bit surprised that he tried to avoid grinding himself against her. If it was another time, he would definitely go for a round and make her stay in bed all day.

'Why is he acting gentlemanly all of a sudden? Did he think I'd change my mind just because he didn't have sex with me in the morning?'

While she thought that, she came to realize something, 'Wait, he confessed last night, didn't he? Is he trying to court me like men court women before marriage? But why?'

'We are already married. He never tried to please me like this before. He always played with me. Every time we were together, we only had sex and got intimate like that. My body was filled with lust and that's what I mistook as love.'

'However, days passed, and my affection grew for him. That's why it hurt so much when I thought he was cheating. I wanted to run away and forget him. Now my heart is unable to love anything. My mind is filled with distrust. I cannot afford to fall for him again and get hurt again.'

'I know it's not his fault, and I'm acting stupid. I'm not sure why I cannot become sweet like before. I cannot get along with him like before. Ironin was right. I'm afraid. I'm scared of getting hurt. The heartbreaking pain – I don't want to face anything like that again.'

'What should I do? How can I turn normal? What can I do to ease his heart? What can I do to help myself? I love myself too much to suffer from the same pain again.'

She was conflicted. Taking a deep breath, she rubbed her temple. She had a headache. She couldn't help but frown.

Arthur observed her expression. "What's wrong? Are you in pain?"
