Damion looked at Ivy with helplessness before reaching out and hooking her chin, making her look into his eyes.
He said, "Ivy, if I were to say that I don't know what you think of me, then I would be a jerk and doing the most despicable thing."
When she heard this, Ivy's expression became even more tense.
The thing she had been carefully hiding was now being pointed out by Damion so bluntly. Ivy didn't know what to do.
She wanted to cry so badly but it wasn't the time yet. She couldn't cry.
Damion continued speaking, "What I want to tell you is that I welcome your feelings towards me and am happy about them. Do you understand what I mean?"
Ivy nodded but then shook her head again in confusion. She was getting flustered and didn't know how to face Damion after his confession.
Was this Damion confessing his feelings for her? Could she really think like that?
Ivy dared not think any further.
Her eyes were already blurred with tears. She bit her lip, and her entire heart was suspended in a crisis that made her feel as if she had fallen into a huge pit.
Damion continued, "I told you before that if you wanted to fly away, I would cut the kite string and let you fly. That still holds true until what I'm about to say next."
Ivy felt another wave of disappointment wash over her. Her teeth unconsciously bit down on her lip, and she barely held back an emotional breakdown.
Damion felt helpless as he reached out and pinched Ivy's chin. "You have this habit of biting yourself all the time. When are you going to change?"
Ivy sniffled and couldn't bite her lip anymore. Some words just came out without thinking first.
"I'm about to be abandoned anyway, so why bother changing?"
This statement undoubtedly angered Damion.
He raised his hand and flicked Ivy's forehead hard enough for her to yelp in pain.
But Ivy wasn't angry with Damion. Instead, she leaned closer towards him and said, "Go ahead, flick me some more! You won't have any other girls left who will let you do it."
Her words were jealous but also carried an unmistakable sense of despair.
Ivy had already sentenced herself to death row mentally, and believed that whatever Damion was going to say next would only make things worse for them both.
This was all just Ivy getting trapped in a vicious cycle of self-doubt where everything seemed doomed from the start.
Damion felt exasperated yet amused at the same time by Ivy's behavior - this girl never gave him a chance to speak!
Damion, feeling helpless, held Ivy's face in his hands and made her look at him.
This action left Ivy stunned for a moment. She blinked rapidly, and her face almost squished into a bun by Damion's grip.
She didn't need to look in the mirror to know how twisted she looked at that moment.
Ivy wanted to break free from Damion's grasp, because the feeling was just too uncomfortable. However, Damion didn't give her any chance to do so. He applied more pressure as if he were holding Ivy's head in place.
Ivy couldn't move and could only be held obediently by him.
Damion said, "Ivy, this is your last chance. If you want to fly away, I'll give you the opportunity."
Finally snapping out of her emotions and understanding what Damion meant with his words, Ivy stared blankly at him before finally asking, "Where can I fly?"
This sentence was like an oath that conveyed all of Ivy's feelings directly to Damion.
At this point in time, there was no need for any pretense or concealment on Ivy's part since everything had already been exposed.
Damion smiled slightly and said, "Then be with me."
