"You think, I wouldn't be worried? Otherwise, you come back to Kheburywith me, you haven't been back to Khebury for a long time, do you want to go back and visit and take Andres with you?"
He wrapped his arms around her waist and took her with him was the best way to go.
He didn't want to part with her for a minute.
"I'm going back with you?" Joyce looked at him in surprise, "Why, I don't want to."
He hoisted her tighter, "Why, marry your husband and follow him, Khebury is your home."
Joyce, "..."
He coaxed, "You can't stay at the Capital for the rest of your life, don't you want to go home for a visit?"
"Home? Which one is my home? Your mansion in the city, the Warner residence, or the Eden Apartment, they're all your place, okay?" She asked with a sarcastic laugh.
He gave her a quick peck on the cheek.
"A place with you is a home. Don't you want to see Eden Apartment? I bought the whole thing. The whole floor was remodeled, but the one you lived in has been left as it was."
Joyce's heart shook slightly inside, "Why would you do that."
"There's no way to sleep without you, I'm too scared that everything about you will fade away with time, and that I can only feel a glimmer of peace of mind when I'm in the place where you've been."
He suddenly hugged her tightly, "Promise me. No matter what happens, don't ever leave me again. You can hate me, kill me, all you want, but don't ever leave me again."
She nudged him, "Well, Andres is upstairs playing a game, he'll laugh at us if he sees us."
He wouldn't let go.
"Come back to Khebury with me, just for two days, okay?"
