Chapter 411 I'll Be With You
The smile on Hearst's face became bigger as he said, "Don't go see Joshua while I'm away."
"OK."
"When I come back, we'll take wedding photos. OK?"
"I'm wide awake now."
She would not be tricked by him when she was awake.
"I know." He rested his chin on her shoulder and sniffed the fragrance on her body. "I'm only asking you this, because you're awake, lest you go back on your word again."
He sounded so upright, which somehow made Anaya a little unreasonable.
She leaned her back against his warm chest and was quiet for a while. Then she asked in a low voice, "Jared, do you think I'm too much trouble?”
"Not at all." He leaned forward and gently kissed her cheek. "I'll be with you no matter how long you want to make a fuss."
His words made her even more unreasonable.
"It's not that I want to make a fuss with you. It's just that sometimes I think about how you ignored me and lied to me after I ran after you so far. It makes me feel..."
"Unbalanced, since your gain isn't equal to your pain?"
"A little."
Although she knew that Hearst had suffered a lot more than her, every time she thought of what had happened before, she would always feel depressed.
"I'm sorry.’ He lowered his head and pressed his thin lips against her neck. His warm breath reached her skin, making her itchy. "If you are unhappy, we can start over.
"I will court you again until you are satisfied."
Anaya leaned against him with mixed feelings in her heart.
She thought, in our relationship, he is always the first one to compromise.
He always watches out for me and prioritizes me.
This is the only time he thinks he's doing what's best for me. He protects me in the wrong way and hurts me.
However, this alone is already enough to let me down.
He has always been so nice to me. Perhaps that's the reason why it's so hard for me to get over this. I don't think I can ever forget about this. Every time I think about it, it hurts.
"Forget it. You'll still be the same even if we start over. You'll still want to move in with me. You managed to be here regardless of my refusal."
Hearst couldn't help but chuckle. "Are you saying that I can move in?"
Anaya said awkwardly, "Only after you come back."
"OK."
After Anaya finished watching the TV series, she raised her hand and patted the man who was still hugging her. "Go take a bath, and we'll go to bed."
"OK."
Hearst let go of her and stood up from the sofa, walking towards the bedroom very naturally.
Anaya stopped him, "You'll sleep in the guest room. There are new men's
pajamas inside. You can change them."
Aracely had prepared the pajamas for Anaya when Anaya moved, saying that it would come in handy when Anaya and Hearst started to live together again.
Anaya figured that the pajamas might have been spared for a while. To her surprise, it came in handy in such a short time.
Hearst wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything. He walked into the guest room.
Anaya took the dog back to the kennel and then went into the room to rest.
Late in the night, the door to the master bedroom was pushed open.
Hearst walked into the room. Without turning on the light, he gently lifted the quilt, lay down beside Anaya, and hugged her from behind.
