Ever since Alivia woke up, not for a moment had she considered reconciling with this man. To her, reconciliation wasn't merely a fresh start to their relationship but also represented a form of resolution to the past.
There were knots and thorns in her heart, making acceptance of him not an easy task.
Yet, even she didn't know why things had progressed to this point where Bert was leaning in for a kiss and she could only manage to evade him slightly before becoming completely still.
Everything around her seemed to come to a halt, all senses concentrated on their touching lips. Alivia's eyes were slightly open, locking with his, neither of them closing their eyes. They stared at each other in such close proximity, feeling waves of electric pulses coursing through their bodies.
It was merely a kiss, a kiss held back to the utmost limit. Yet, despite this, Bert reacted.
He longed for Alivia in a nearly obsessive way. Now that she was willing to accept him again, he couldn't suppress the desire surging within him as he kissed the girl he loved.
It wasn't about any dirty thoughts, but a physical craving for her.
But Bert was no beast. Under such circumstances, he wouldn't do anything, not even if she wasn't ill now.
She had just agreed to his proposal and needed more time and space to think independently, not just being taken by him.
Perhaps it was once like this, but from this moment on, he would change everything about the past.
"In the past, you were the one who liked me. Now it's my turn to chase you."
