Chapter172.
Upon hearing my question, Tyrell spoke bluntly.
Yes, I dreamt of being able to be with you one day.
“I knew you didn’t like hospitals, so I learned medicine. I knew you liked to drink cherry juice, so I learned how to cook.
I also knew that you liked fitness, so I obtained a fitness trainer certification.
“I knew you had a stomach problem, so I learned how to cook. I also knew that Leland was good at fighting, so I forced myself to learn kick-boxing in order to defeat him one day.”
This outgoing boy spoke with great detail and sincerity, which shocked me.
I felt a bit awkward. I avoided his eyes, saying, Tyrell, you are younger, and I just see you as a little brother. I haven’t sorted out my own issues yet. I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be in another relationship right now.”
Tyrell’s hands were shaking as he drove. He encouraged himself, saying, “It’s okay. I have been mentally prepared. I never want to pressure you. I’ve been waiting for seven years, so I’m not afraid to wait another seven years! Anya, just go ahead and do what you want to do. Consider me as your personal bodyguard. As long as I’m by your side, I’m happy.”
I turned my head towards the car window. What could I say?
But the loss of my baby and Leland’s betrayal left me deeply wounded. At that moment, I closed my eyes and wanted to recover alone.
I fell asleep without realizing it.
When I opened my eyes, Tyrell was holding his chin and watching me closely.
I pretended not to know and turned around. For some reason, whenever he was around, I slept soundly.
Tyrell, however, pretended to be relaxed and said, “Oh, it’s already 8 o’clock in the evening. Dinner is missed.”
I was so hungry!
“Grumble!” My stomach unexpectedly growled. I stopped pretending and sat up.
