William Griffith also turned to face her, looking into her beautiful eyes in the dim light. Proud and arrogant as he was, at this moment, he finally nodded, openly admitting that his fondness for her came earlier. He found that this was not something too difficult to talk about after all.
Upon hearing his words, Cherish finally understood the secrets buried deep within his heart. She moved closer to him, resting her head on his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat. After a moment of silence, she carefully asked a question that might be the deepest thorn in her heart, one she never dared touch. Her breath momentarily stopped as she quietly waited for his response, "After what happened to your sister, did you really want to take revenge on me?"
"I couldn't help it." His voice grew even deeper, "I couldn't help wanting to be close to you."
