My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 620

He looked at Nerissa with a self-deprecating smile on his face. "Aunt Nerissa, it's not that she can't leave me, but I can't leave her. I can't do without her. I've never learned how to love her, so I had been hurting her all this time. I don't only love her, I also lost the ability to love anyone else after I met her. No matter what happens in the future, I want to protect her and I want to do as much as I can for her. The past is in the past. The future is what's important, isn't it?"

I stood frozen on the spot as I stared at him. There was an unspeakable pain in my heart and my eyes fell on the ring on his finger. Yes, it seemed that he had never taken off that ring.

Perhaps Nerissa never expected he would say something like this. She opened her mouth, yet no words came out.

She looked up at me with a little self-deprecation, shook her head and left in a daze.

I turned around and went back to the bedroom. I never thought about what kind of existence I was to Hendrix. I knew that he loved me and that put my heart at ease, but I never thought that his feelings ran so deep.

Lying on the bed, I was completely awake. When Hendrix came in, I was still lost in thought with my eyes open.

When I saw him coming in, I tried to close my eyes. Unfortunately, he noticed it. "What's wrong? You can't sleep?"

I paused for a moment. Then, I said, "Maybe it's because I'm not used to this room." I regretted my words after I said them. Why did the bedroom that we were so familiar with four years ago, felt so unfamiliar when we came back?

He looked down and smiled. He walked over to me. He lay down beside me and drew me closer to him. "Maybe it's because I'm not here."

I laughed while feeling a little dizzy.

It was September, so it wasn't freezing, but it was still a little cold. I stayed up in a daze until midnight. I felt a little cold, so I drew closer to him, looking for a source of heat. He held me tightly.

I actually felt a shallow pain in my heart. We never know what would happen in the future, so we should live well in the present.

The next day, the sun was shining through the blinds into the bedroom. In a daze, I saw Hendrix sitting by the bed and working on his documents.
