The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1463

This force was nothing for Desmond. Since he was a child, he had suffered more harm than this, but there had never been a time that he felt as happy as now.

He felt blissful!

He used to think that this word was foreign to him, and it was something he would never experience. He didn't know what it felt like nor what it was like, but now, he had finally gotten a taste of it.

The person who made him understand this was Haniya, a girl who looked weak.

Perhaps she was not as beautiful or as strong as Marissa. Sometimes she looked silly, but she made him feel comfortable and warm.

Desmond had always thought that the relationship between him and Marissa was love. But now, he realized that it was out of his gratitude.

He wanted to get close to her, not because he liked her or loved her. It was only Marissa was his saviour at that time.

She was the only ray of light in his gloomy life. Therefore, Desmond could resist her smile and how thoughtful she had been. Furthermore, she couldn't resist how caring she had been, but he knew now that it wasn't love.

To be precise, he only continued to chase her out of admiration.

They were childhood sweethearts, but more often than not, they were more like family. He never had an impulse towards Marissa, and even when she pestered him and kissed him, he only responded without any feelings.

But Haniya was different.

He wanted to get close to Haniya. When he kissed her, he had an impulse to continue and make this woman his. Right now, he never had such a desire for anyone before.

Desmond's heart was suddenly enlightened at this thought,

Haniya's teeth were sore after biting Desmond for so long, but he didn't show any reaction. Instead, she looked like an insane woman right now.

So she let go of Desmond and saw him smiling at her. However, there was so much affection in his eyes that she was a little stunned.

"What are you laughing at? Did you become foolish after being bitten? Ouch!"

As soon as Haniya finished speaking, Desmond flicked her head.

"Why did you hit me? Are you going to marry me if I become stupid?"

"I'll marry you."

Desmond smiled while saying this, but Haniya was stunned.

She felt that she had heard something outrageous. Thus, she was so frightened that she quickly took two steps back and looked at Desmond warily.

"What's wrong with you?"

Haniya could not understand why such a cold person would suddenly look at her lovingly. This change was too abrupt that she could not accept it.

On the other hand, Desmond could not help but beam when she saw how adorable she looked.

"Do you think I would ask just anyone to wash my underwear?"

As soon as he said this, Haniya's face turned red.

"Can you stop talking about this?"

"No, I can't."

Then, Desmond leaned on the edge of Haniya's bed, and his blue eyes had mixed emotions in them. Thus, Haniya couldn't help but feel moved when she saw this.

Hence, she quickly turned her head away.

Urgh! He could seduce her this easily!

As she whispered this in her heart, Desmond said, "Haniya."

"Yeah?"

"I'm in love with you."

Haniya was stunned when she heard this.

Perhaps she never expected to receive any return for her efforts, or she felt that she would never be able to replace Marissa's place in Desmond's heart. Therefore, Haniya never thought she would hear Desmond say these words to her.

But now, not only did he confess it, he said it before her very eyes and looked as if he was overwhelmed with happiness. This was too surreal!

While Haniya was staring at him in a daze, Desmond felt nervous.

Nathaniel did mention that she had intended to give up on him and try to like someone else. Was it true?

Or did his confession come a little late? Had she fallen in love with someone else?

As Desmond thought of this possibility, he looked disappointed.

He then got up and walked towards Haniya.

Meanwhile, Haniya wasn't sure why but she subconsciously turned around to run away, but Desmond grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.

"I said I think I'm in love with you. Why are you running away?"

Desmond smiled again as he repeated his words.

Haniya's face was burning out of embarassment when she heard this, and she didn't even dare to look up.

"Stop kidding. I don't need your pity."

"Why would I pity you? Haniya, I have nothing, and I'm even a monster. Should you pity me instead?"

Desmond never said such things to others, but he was okay if he said it to Haniya.

After all, he could not deny the fact that he was not a normal human being.

Meanwhile, Haniya's heart ached for him when she heard this.

"Hey! Stop spouting nonsense! You're a good person, and you're even better than some normal human beings. Take Victoria, for example. She was a normal human, but she didn't act like one!"

Upon hearing Desmond belittle himself, Haniya subconsciously defended him.

Desmond's smile grew wider as he heard this.

"So, do you pity me, or do you like me?"

"Of course I like you!"

Haniya subconsciously said that before she saw the glimmer in Desmond's eyes. After realizing what she said, her face turned red.

"I'm going out then."

As she spoke, she tried to break free from Desmond, but the latter tightened his embrace.

"Don't try to escape! Let's make it clear today."

"What's there to say? Didn't you already know that I like you? The whole world already does anyways."

After saying that, Haniya felt relieved but also a little sad.

Desmond had never known what heartache felt like, but now he did.

"I'm sorry. It won't happen again."

Haniya felt that Desmond was a little different from before right now.
