Chapter 791
James was now alone with Tiara in the living room.He was unsure of what to say to a pure and innocent young lady like her.
Them previous sexual intercourse was 3 misunderstanding. Someone had set James up. but in theory, he should be responsible for her as a man.
However, as there was too much burden on his shoulders, there was nothing he could do.
Any promise he made would be paying lip service. It would only break her heart further down. the line.
"Umm... Tiara... Actually, I..."
James looked at Tiara apologetically and said, "I heard about your situation. Though I wish to take responsibility for my actions. there's simply too much I have to bear at the moment. Besides, my body's in terrible shape. I could die anytime. I also have Thea to consider...°
Hearing this, Tiara lifted her head and cut James short.
"I know, James. I didn't want to come looking for you, but I can't suppress my emotions. You're a national hero. There isn't a single woman who doesn’t adore you. I'm not asking for her. I just want to stay by your side and take care of you. At the very least, I’ll have no regrets."
James never expected her to say such a thing.
"l feel at ease as long as I can watch you from afar."
James ribbed his temples exasperatedly.
Silence permeated throughout the living room.
Quincy, who was standing by the door, kept glancing over at James and Tiara. Seeing that they were now silent, she walked over to them and seated herself.
Looking at James, she asked, "How's the talk?°
James sighed. "It was a blunder on my part. If I had been more cautious. I wouldn't have fallen. for Jonathan's tricks and all of this wouldn't even have happened. It's all my fault. Tiara is innocent. I feel guilty about her."
Tiara hurriedly waved ber hands. "James, I'm not asking you to take responsibility. I—I just want..."
‘She tried to explain, but the more she explained, the more incoherent she sounded. In fact, she sounded as if she was forcing
James to make a choice.
In truth, she only wanted to stay by his side. Even if she was nothing to him, she would feel at ease as long as she could watch from afar.
That was all she wanted.
