Even if he asked Hanley to say it a million times, as long as Vivian agreed, he could.
"I say, let's start over! I can't forget you, even though it's been two years, and I obviously force myself not to think about you, but my eyes unconsciously follow you again. I know you have other men with you, I am so jealous that I can't wait to tie you to my side. It doesn't matter what happened two years ago, what matters is that I still want you and that we can start over."
Vivian didn't expect to hear the words she most wanted to hear two years ago after two years, which seemed a bit ironic.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
She didn't want her to be happy for nothing, she was the one who used to think that although he didn't say he liked her himself, but all those things he did was to treat her as his favorite person. But what happened? She left with a broken heart, so this time Vivian will not trust him so easily.
Even though these words were the most important blow to her to break her heart's defense.
"I know what I'm talking about, and I'm more than sure what I want. When you said come to a quiet place. The first place that came to my mind was here, this place where we met in the beginning. Even though I hadn't been in the research building for two years because of William, it was this place that came to mind in that moment."
Hanley looked at Vivian incomparably serious, "I am serious, in front of the teacher, I also never told a lie, you also know, so this you can not believe me?"
Vivian laughed and thought silently in her heart: That's not distrust, but fear, fear that it's still a one-man show for her. One injury was enough to break her. One more time, she didn't know if she could handle it.
She didn't dare to say yes easily, nor was she willing to just let go. She needed time to think it over, whether she should feel like giving up on this relationship or protecting her heart so she could love again.
"I'm sorry, I can't answer you!"
In the end Vivian still couldn't open her heart completely, she was afraid, really afraid. Although in front of William, she still can't easily believe Hanley's words again.
The only thing she knows is that in the future she will face Hanley again, because of these words, again and again to unload her heart. Because Hanley is her calamity, a calamity that she cannot easily get through.
"It's okay!"
At the time Hanley had this idea, he was prepared for the worst. He just wanted to clear up the misunderstanding and didn't think Vivian would be so quick to throw away those misunderstandings they had before.
But despite being prepared, Hanley's eyes still fell.
"Like you said, there are just too many conflicts between us, and if we don't unravel them one by one, what stands in our way is a mountain." Vivian said her thoughts very seriously, "I don't know your thoughts very well, and even if you do say what you think, I can't trust you 100%. That's the biggest wall between us, and the reason I don't have an answer for you."
Hanley nodded in agreement, he knew Vivian's sense of security was always low and it was hard to trust someone completely.
