Chapter 367 - What is it so hard, Sera? (1/2)
Seraphina was momentarily stunned by his sincere request. She didn't anticipate this kind of response or rather, she wasn't ready to hear it as of yet. She had always been avoiding having a glimpse of Dragon's heart but he was always opening it to her.
He had been saying stuff like this as if it requires their utmost importance which slightly irked Seraphina. Of all the people, Dragon should have known that it wasn't her priority -- them? Getting back together like nothing happened? He should know because she explained the memories she had experience.
Even though Seraphina did just see the future occurrence, alas, in her heart, she experienced it first hand; as if it did happen. The pain, the torment, the memories of that man touching every corner of her body… it was all engraved on her mind and heart.
Hence, how could she not feel restless about it? How could she put her romantic feelings first before the safety of her remaining family members? She lost enough and she doesn't want to lose more! Even if it means neglecting the feelings she had with Dragon, she would if it'll going on her way.
”The decision of letting you wander around here was a wrong decision.” Seraphina gritted her teeth as she abruptly stood up which caused turbulence on the table producing a 'clang' sound of the rattled plates and utensils.
”Leave.” Seraphina firmly commanded before she turned her body and was about to leave.
”Why are you so damn stubborn? Sure, I f*cked your cousin and you can never forgive me for that but, what are you going to lose if you asked for help; my help? The thing is, even if we could never get back together -- I promised Gramps that I will protect you! Sera, what is it so hard to ask someone or at least let your family know what's inside there?” Dragon burst out as he aggressively stood and spat his disp_l_e_a_s_u_r_e towards her obvious avoidance of his presence.
Sure, Dragon might d_e_s_i_r_e to win her heart and reconcile with her, alas, if she showed that it was a lost cause, then, he'll stop from doing these stunts. Moreover, what irked him with her personality is her, bottling everything to herself and won't ask for help. She always wanted to protect and solve the problems of her so-called family, alas, she won't even take them as her outlet.
”Don't you ever, use Gramps as an excuse.” This time, Seraphina turned her head back to Dragon as she warned him. However, to her surprise, unlike Dragon's aggressive tone, his eyes tell her otherwise. Pain and desperation filled his eyes as he peered back at her which slightly clenched her heart to bits.
”Why shouldn't I? That's the only excuse I could come up with to keep a close watch on your reckless plans.”
”Then don't make any excuses. Just leave, get out.” Despite the invisible dagger that pierced her heart, Seraphina looked away as she spat the last shred of mercy she could give Dragon.
