Her Return, His Regret novel Chapter 96

“Why do you keep looking at me like that?” Lora shyly asked, her face flushing pink.

Ryan smirked before saying, “I just can’t believe how beautiful you are.”

They were seated on a two-seater couch after their heartwarming reconciliation.

Lora rolled her eyes. She remarked, “You don’t have to sweet talk me anymore… I’ve already agreed to give you a chance.”

Ryan frowned. He wrapped his arm around Lora’s waist before pulling her close so that her back was resting on his chest.

“Hey… your wounds-”

“Sshh, the wounds are healing, I’m fine,” Ryan said. He wrapped his arms around Lora’s waist before placing his chin on her shoulder. “Just because I won the election, does it mean I have to stop campaigning?”

“What?” Lora laughed.

The sound of her laughter tickled Ryan’s heart. How long had he longed to hear that sound in his house?

Lora pulled back to look at him over her shoulder and asked, “What kind of comparison is that?”

“The most logical one,” Ryan replied, smirking. “I was campaigning really hard… trying my best to persuade you to choose me… and luckily, you did. But that doesn’t mean I need to stop the things I was doing to make you accept me back.”

He grabbed Lora’s chin before leaning in and pecking her lips. “I have to continue showering you with loving words, I have to continue proving myself to you every day.”

Lora blushed, butterflies going wild in her stomach.

Who was this guy and where did he hide Ryan?

He was so flirty and sweet!

She licked her lips, her heart thundering at the surprise peck that Ryan had given her.

“Well, I’m not complaining,” Lora responded before turning to lean against Ryan’s chest.

They sat in comfortable silence for some time, simply enjoying each other's company.

Ryan suddenly called, “Lora?”

“Mmmm?” Lora hummed a response.

“Please pinch me,” Ryan requested.

“Huh? Why?” Lora asked, feeling confused.

“I’m scared… I still feel like this is all a dream. I’m scared that I’ll wake up and you will no longer exist in this world,” Ryan remarked, tightening his hold around Lora.

Lora chuckled, thinking Ryan was being silly.

She separated his arms from around her waist before turning around and straddling him.

“Is this enough to show you that this is real?” She asked, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Ryan placed his hands on Lora’s waist before looking up at her. He shook his head and said, “No… it’s not. I still feel like I’m just having a beautiful dream. I need to feel some pain- something that will make me believe that you’re in my arms right now.”

“How about this?” Lora asked before leaning over and pecking Ryan’s lips.

Ryan gulped, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down his throat. Lora saw this movement and thought it looked very sexy.

How could he be so handsome?

“Um…” Ryan shook his head and replied, “Perhaps if you kiss me more…”
