"Even if... you still can't have sex it in the future, it doesn't matter. You should have a family that belongs to yourself, shouldn't you?"
Zena swallowed and continued, "I... won't force you to do anything anymore, and I don't have to have a child. I just hope that I could stay by your side and take care of you for the rest of my life."
"Although... I may have to be imprisoned for a long time, I can try to reform myself and be released earlier. I don't need much. Even if I can't get married with you, I can just be your nanny. As long as I can stay with you and take care of you, I... will be happy."
She wanted to atone for her sins, but what she wanted the most was to be with him.
He... was the only one she loved. Perhaps she had made many wrong decisions and mistakes, but... she had no way to let go of him in heart.
Xavier narrowed his eyes slightly, "Zena..."
"Xavier... That's really what I think. As long as you're willing, I won't force you to do anything in the future, and I won't be unreasonable.
Believe me!¹
Xavier sighed softly, "Zena, I may... not be able to promise you..."
Zena suddenly opened her eyes wide. Her eyes, which had been filled with expectations just now, were full of shock and disappointment at this time, "Xavier?"
"I don't know when you'll be released." Xavier thought for a moment and said, "It's not that I don't have time to wait for you. I have time, but I have to tell you that... I may not wait for you."
Zena opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. She felt so cold in heart.
What did he say? Wouldn't he wait for her?
"Although it happened because of you, I didn't want to tell you about it originally. I..." Xavier looked at Zena, "I came here mainly to thank you. It's not just because you kept those paintings for me. Moreover... didn't you ask someone to keep them for me? It seems that I have fallen in love with that girl."
A chill ran down Zena's spine, and her hands trembled violently. She couldn't hold the phone firmly, and the phone suddenly fell to the ground.
A loud noise came, but Zena acted as if she didn't hear anything. She didn't came to sense until the prison guard shouted at her.
During this period of time, she seemed to have thought about a lot of things, but she also seemed to have thought about nothing. Her mind was in a mess, and she was at a loss.
"So." Seeing that Zena picked up the phone again, Xavier continued, "I'm sorry. I... can't promise you."
Zena's heart missed a beat, and her eyelashes trembled constantly. After a long while, she managed to force a smile. However, her smile looked so sad.
"Well... that's very good." She laughed dryly, "That girl must be the daughter of the aunt, right? I've... seen her twice before. She's very pure, and... very pretty. Your... taste has always been so nice."
"So... did she agree to be with you?"
Xavier shook his head.
Just as Zena was about to heave a sigh of relief, Xavier said again, "I haven't told her yet, but... I think she will promise me."
Zena could not catch her breath and coughed violently. After a long time, she felt a little better, but her eyes were a little red due to coughing.
"Then... what if you can't..."
Zena didn't make it clear. Xavier glanced at her and immediately understood what she meant, "It doesn't matter. I can try my best to overcome it. If I really can't overcome it, it's my fate. I can't force it."
