Love Story6 - Chapter 10
I had just hung up the phone when Darius hugged me from behind.
He rested his chin on the side of my neck and nuzzled me gently, but didn't say anything.
I couldn't help but smile: "What's wrong?"
"Everly, will you go back?"
"Go back where?"
"Back to New York."
"I have no plans to go back for now, but maybe in the future."
"After all, I haven't done anything to be ashamed of, why shouldn't I be able to go back? My family is still there."
Darius fell silent again.
It was then that I figured out the hidden meaning in his words, "Are you wondering if I'll get back together with Cassius?"
"Will you?"
"If I say absolutely not, would you believe me?"
I gently stroked Darius's face: "Breaking up with him didn't cause me much pain or distress, so maybe I stopped loving him a long time ago."
"Perhaps, from the moment he started to lose interest in this relationship, I had already prepared myself for the breakup."
"I won't."
"Hmm?"
"I won't lose interest, I won't be fickle, I won't make you cry or upset..."
Darius hugged me tighter and tighter, until finally, he kissed me again: "Everly, be with me."
