Chapter 128: A Battle of Sincerity
“Goodbye, Fiona.”
Yeah, this was a good thing. Wasn’t this what I wanted from the beginning? Clean break up?
I would be fine. Right, everything would be fine. As time passed, everything…
The sound of his footsteps echoed in my ears very clearly. All my nerves were focused on that faint sound. Every time I heard those steps walking away from me, my body felt achingly painful. Read the translation only on itsladygrey.com.
“Don’t go.”
Fine? No, I couldn’t possibly turn away from this feeling.
Even though it was a small voice, like a flickering candle, Sigren’s footsteps stopped abruptly.
I approached him, hugged him tightly from behind, and whispered,
“Don’t go, Sigren.”
“….”
Sigren gently released my hands from his waist and slowly turned around.
I lightly placed my hand on his cheek, looking straight into his eyes.
“I don’t want to break up.”
“Really?”
“Hmm.”
Sigren kissed my forehead and whispered,
“Fiona, I said I’d only ask you once. Are you sure that is really what you want?”
“What I want—”
Should I be honest?
“You would regret it once you know.”
“It can’t be.”
Sigren’s voice was firm, and somehow, it gave me a strange sense of relief. Read the translation only on itsladygrey.com.
Right, after all, I couldn’t lie to myself any longer. Finally, the day when I had to be honest had come.
“Then, Sigren…”
I closed my eyes and whispered softly,
“I want you… to be mine.”
Yeah, these feelings had been twisted for a long time. Read the translation only on itsladygrey.com.

For a moment, Sigren doubted his ears. He looked at the person he loved the most.
Fiona was smiling sadly, with clear tears glistening in her beautiful red eyes.
‘Why? How?’
Her expression only confused Sigren more.
“Really?” he asked, surprised.
‘It’s not “we should break up” or “she’s been burdened by my feelings”?
“Yes,” Fiona replied, looking up and nodding her head.
There was no hint of deceit in her face.
“This is my truth. You don’t like it?”
“Haha…”
Seeing Sigren laugh caused tears to fill Fiona’s eyes. Read the translation only on itsladygrey.com.
“You’re laughing? I’m serious—”
“You really drive me completely crazy.”
“Hm?”
Sigren leaned in and covered Fiona’s lips with his own.
“….!”
It was a very sudden action. Fiona’s eyes widened in shock for a moment, but she quickly responded and wrapped her arms around his neck.
It was a kiss that was rougher than their previous kiss.
Fiona bit Sigren’s lip, and he lightly sucked her lip back. Sigren held the back of Fiona’s head and kissed her even more deeply.
For a while, the two licked, bit, and frantically coveted each other’s lips.
It was Fiona who grew tired first. For just a second, she pulled away to catch her breath, but Sigren pulled her back, his soft tongue slipping into her mouth. Eventually, Fiona loosened her arms around his neck and pushed against his shoulders. But, of course, that kind of movement didn’t have much force behind it to push Sigren away.

However, Sigren understood. After a brief murmur of reluctance, he eventually let her lips go.
“Hhh…” Fiona gasped for breath.
Sigren calmly supported her waist with his arms. She leaned her forehead against his shoulder and complained,
“You, slowly…”
“I’ll try.”
He didn’t say he wouldn’t do it anymore.
Fiona looked at him resentfully.
“….”
But even then, her face was incredibly tempting to Sigren—red eyes, flushed cheeks, and swollen lips. It was a dangerously alluring look. Sigren hugged her tightly, letting out a slow breath as he tried to control himself. Read the translation only on itsladygrey.com.
“Fiona, I said I’d only ask once.”
“Right.”
“And you’ve already answered.”
Fiona blinked quietly, her long eyelashes fluttering.
“Sigren, I have more to say.”
She continued, “I’ll be jealous from now on, too.”
“Good.”
“I won’t ever break up with you.”
“As much as you like.”
“Even when you meet someone much better than I am?”
“All up to you.”
“Okay, then I’ll ask you this time.” Fiona opened her eyes and looked directly at him. “Whose are you?”
Sigren smiled, cupping her cheeks as he whispered slowly, “I’m yours.”
It had been that way for a long time, ever since the day he first saw her.
Fiona grabbed him by the collar. “You can’t back down now.”
Her soft lips brushed against Sigren’s for a moment before pulling away, leaving a faint trace of her light scent. Read the translation only on itsladygrey.com.
Sigren spoke in a deep voice, “That’s what I’m hoping for.”
He bit Fiona’s delicate neck, savoring the moment like a predator tasting prey that had already been caught. In his dark blue-gray eyes, a sense of satisfaction and desire shone through.
Fiona shivered at the sensation of his bite.
Sigren raised his head, smiling. “Fiona, you should always own me.”
“Hmm…”
Overwhelmed by joy, he kissed Fiona, his beloved, slowly.
Nothing could be undone now. Read the translation only on itsladygrey.com.
