Silas didn't expect me to be so direct.
His ears, adorned with hearing aids, turned blood red.
But I still underestimated Silas's initiative. His gaze swept aggressively from my eyes to my ears, finally settling on my soft lips.
Silas and I grew up together. In my memory, he was the cool, distant school heartthrob. But starting last year, his personality suddenly changed.
He became gloomy and violent, smashing things at the drop of a hat.
And he became very bold...
Like now, he pressed close to my ear, his voice low and raspy:
"This time, just kissing isn't enough."
"Jane, I want... you."
People always get busy when flustered. I fake coughed and pushed him away.
Seeing my silence, Silas's slightly upturned eyes filled with moisture, looking at me pitifully:
"Forget it, just go!"
"It's really hard for me when the episodes hit."
"It's okay if I suffer. I don't want to force you."
The comments couldn't hold back:
[Being reborn really changes a man. Fighting, snatching, and playing the victim.]
[If you were this proactive in your past life, how could the CEO have stolen her away?]
Reading the text, I sat down on the sofa.
Playing the victim, huh?
I wanted to see if he actually dared.
"Fine," I said. "Go get ready."
While Silas was shocked, the comments exploded:
[Wait... she actually agreed?]
[Baby Girl, do you know what Silas means by 'wanting you'?]
