Sylvia had the satisfaction of forcing Kendrix into conceding that he liked her. As for the pact, they did not really matter to her.
She was aware that some restrictions were necessary, and she nodded. "Go ahead."
Kendrix's heart melted further, seeing that his girl was very compliant.
"First, you're still a student, so we can't be too intimate."
"Not even sitting on your lap like this?" Sylvia asked, "Plus, you were the one who pulled me into your arms just now. You also kissed me on your own accord."
A flush of embarrassment rose to Kendrix's handsome face. "Just this once."
"From tomorrow on then." Sylvia didn't want to leave his lap just yet, continuing to nestle in his arms.
His embrace was very warm, not to mention his long muscular legs.
Kendrix's eye flickered but did not answer her question and moved on to the second pact
instead.
"Second, we can't disclose our relationship until you've at least turned eighteen."
"Okay." Sylvia nodded, taking the matter seriously. She could understand why he came up with such a demand.
"Third, now that you're my girlfriend, I don't want to see you having any close contact with other men. Of course, I will keep a distance from other women as well."
"Fair enough. I like the third one." Sylvia beamed at him and wrapped her hands around his neck with a smug expression.
"Let go of me first." Kendrix stiffened at her action. Things would go south if it went on.
With such an enchanting girl in his arms, it was tormenting for him to banish those lustful thoughts as a potent man.
What was worse, this girl was trying to snuggle close to him; it was too tempting.
"No, I have to make the hug worth my while." Sylvia pouted, and her lips were right in front of Kendrix. Once again, his gaze fell on them.
Staring at her lips, he repressed the urge to kiss her. At the brink of losing his self- control, he averted his gaze elsewhere.
However, Sylvia wasn't going to let him do so, stretching out her hands to adjust his face so that he looked straight into her eyes.
"I really don't like you doing this, averting your gaze from me and hesitating to speak. Do you know how bad it hurts me?"
She was genuinely downhearted, hating his aloof side.
How could she not seize the moment when he was finally wearing his heart on his sleeves?
Taken aback, Kendrix knew his girl had taken it the wrong way; he had only averted his gaze from her to hold himself back.
He was fearful that he might hurt his girl if he lost control.
It was distressing to him as he vacillated between crossing the line and sticking to morality, wondering how to continue restraining himself.
However, he still crossed the line by cuddling and kissing her; there was no turning back for him anymore.
Nevertheless, he did not regret it. He had to make this girl his lest someone else got to her.
Meeting her eyes again, Kendrix sighed and said in a low and hoarse voice, "You're still too young." "I'm not young anymore. My great- grandmother had already gotten married to my greatgrandfather at my age," Sylvia argued.
Dumbstricken, Kendrix didn't expect the girl to use William's words against him.
Alright, he had to admit William did have him wavering from their conversation.
That said, he was still rational, patiently talking some sense to her with a gentle tone, "We're living in a different era from theirs. Our current society is marked by a highly developed civilization, and we must abide by certain rules and proprieties. Only in this way can we feel at ease, do you understand?"
"I understand, but I'm still sad." Sylvia shifted in his lap, finding a more comfortable position in his arms.
Kendrix froze, his face tense up.
He then leaned back before gently wrapping his arms around her waist.
Caressing her hair affectionately, he thought she had beautiful, black, shiny locks. The faint fragrance in her hair wafted toward him, alluring him.
Kendrix closed his eyes. Though looking fine, his breathing became heavier.
