Chapter 571 Pretending to Be His Wife

At that moment, the two of them were pressed close together.

Through two thin layers of fabric, Draven could clearly feel how soft and fragile she was.

“I should still help you over,” Draven said, his brows drawing together slightly.

“My legs were a little weak just now, but I’m better now,” Cassia said, refusing.

Ever since she met him, she’d been relying on him again and again.

Even last night, she had to rely on him for something like that…

Looking at the stubborn, cool expression on her face, Draven could guess exactly what she was thinking.

“Are you worried about bothering me?” Draven asked.

That hit right on the mark.

Before Cassia could respond, his low, husky voice sounded in her ear again.

“I don’t mind. I like it when you rely on me. Besides, if you fall and get hurt, that’ll just be more trouble for me.”

Hearing that, Cassia lowered her long lashes halfway.

After a few seconds of thought, she placed her hand on Draven’s arm.

His arm was strong and firm but still carried a kind of clean, balanced strength.

It was those same arms that held her tightly last night.

It felt safe.

The thought startled her slightly.

She had always relied on herself for a sense of security, but somehow, without realizing when it started, being around Draven made her feel safe.

It was the first time she’d ever thought…maybe relying on someone once in a while wasn’t such a bad thing.

Draven glanced down at the hand holding his arm.

Her hand was pale and delicate, almost too beautiful.

“Are you embarrassed about last night?”

She was a little embarrassed. Not just because of what happened, but because she had relied on him again.

Draven let out a soft, indulgent sigh and said, “If you really feel that way, can I ask you for something?”

Cassia looked up at him. He stood about a head taller than her. Her brows lifted slightly, her eyes filled with quiet curiosity.

If it weren’t for him last night, she might’ve actually followed through on what she once said to Victoria and ended her life.

He had helped her in a huge way. Of course, she would hear him out.

But she couldn’t help wondering what kind of request he would make.

Last time, he asked her to pretend to be his girlfriend.

This time…is he going to ask me to pretend to marry him?

If he really asked for that…

Cassia thought about it for a moment.

If he really asked…I would probably agree.

After all, he wasn’t a bad person. Not annoying at all.

That was his request.

Okay.” Cassia nodded, lowering her gaze again, a faint smile tugging at her lips.

The curve of her lips deepened slightly.

“I just thought my own assumption just now was kind of funny.”

“Oh?”

Draven’s brown eyes were fixed on her.

After Cassia came out of the bathroom, he picked the conversation back

“What were you thinking just now?”

He was genuinely curious what had made her smile like that.
