Dylan told a lie.
He didn't know what he was doing, but he suddenly had an idea that it would be good to be locked here with her.
Tina frowned more when she heard that.
Relying on her memories and the dim light, she walked towards the bed.
She picked up the phone without any hope. Sure enough, it was silent. Since Lilith could bring her here to disgust her, she must have arranged everything.
Tina had no choice but to come to the window.
The French window was transparent, and the moonlight was brighter.
Tina looked down. There was nowhere to go from the fifth floor.
She was a little anxious.
Dylan also came to her side. They stood side by side in front of the French window.
Through the moonlight, they could see each other's faces clearly.
Tina's evening dress was taken away by the waitress. She was now wrapped in a bathrobe, and the room was dark. There was an ambiguous atmosphere in the air.
However, the two of them didn't feel romantic, but somewhat stifling.
So both of them were silent.
Tina was still worried about his ceremony, so she took the lead in speaking. "Dylan, what about your engagement ceremony?"
Dylan was the protagonist tonight. If he couldn't appear, it was likely that this engagement banquet would be ruined.
Dylan looked indifferent.
Without any anxiety, he took out a lighter and lit a cigarette. The smoke he exhaled was like a thin gauze.
His pressing emotions seemed to have been blown away with the smoke.
He suddenly asked, "Tina, do you want me to get engaged?"
Tina was taken aback.
The expression on her face slightly changed.
Tina didn't know how to respond. Instead, she chose a safer way to avoid the question.
"Dylan, I'll give you my blessings!"
Dylan took a drag on his cigarette.
The smoke enveloped his face, and the emotions in his eyes became complicated.
Dylan suddenly stared at her, as if he wanted to hear the answer from her mouth. "If you don't want me to, then I..."
If she didn't want him to get engaged...
As long as she said so, as long as she said...
Dylan even grabbed her hand with a rush, with his eyes full of enthusiasm.
Tina could feel his strength. His muscles stiffened.
At a close distance, she saw the surging emotions in his eyes at the same time.
She thought of the last time.
Dylan was so humble in front of her. He said that he surrendered to fate, gave up all his pride and resentment, and wanted to start with her again.
Tina was extremely upset.
She dropped her eyes, and her voice was so calm. It sounded like she was telling a fact.
"I'm already with Wilson."
No matter how much they tried, the two parallel lines could not cross each other anymore.
Tina was well aware of this.
Dylan felt like he had been splashed with cold water.
The light in his eyes dimmed, as if covered by dark clouds that could not be dispersed.
Dylan gradually lost strength. He released her.
He could still remember the touch of her skin.
But his self-esteem didn't allow him to insist any more.
