She should just leave well enough alone instead of refusing to let go.
But she did not know why she felt so upset and didn't want to get close to Stefan whenever she thought of him having somebody else in his mind.
"You're lying. Look how angry you are." Stefan held her more tightly in his arms, seeing her not admitting it.
While saying these, he kissed her face gently.
"It was my fault last night. I will make it up for you tonight. Will you stop being mad at me?" Stefan said in a muffled voice.
Emmeline felt even more bashful hearing what he just said.
She would have turned away and called him lecher if she had not been stuck in his arms.
That was not why she was angry with Stefan. How come a clever man like him didn't know about it? He said this on purpose.
Emmeline blushed at herself.
She corrected him righteously, "Don't evade my question. You know this was not the reason."
Although the way he treated her last night did make her feel bad.
But it was a horse of a different color. How could he misunderstand what she said like this?
"Well, I do know that. But honey, you are angry, incredibly angry." He just played a small trick to induce her lovely little thoughts. He could not help smiling.
He bowed down and kissed her soft lips gently.
He said in a deep voice, "I won't do it again. Do not be angry with me. Tonight, I will make it up for you properly."
It seemed that this little cutie was too susceptible.
He did not know a bit of tone change in the study last night could make her sad like this.
It seemed that he honestly should not leave the current life be stirred by the past.
That portrait did not matter at all. At that time, his legs were broken, and he was devastated. That girl did accompany him for quite a long time.
Although the girl in the portrait was not long in his heart, he remembered clearly what had happened at that time.
After all, she was the first girl who ever knocked open the door of his heart. And she was the same girl who cried for his broken legs at the top of her lungs.
