In the past, whatever problems he experienced would not leave such a huge fear like this. But this time, Hanna was so scared, especially when she saw Alex's sharp eyes.
His eyes still continued to stare at the wide back of the man, walking towards their stables. Hanna deliberately kept her distance, she did not want her surrender to make the man feel satisfied.
The man was already standing near the usual old oak tree where Hanna was sitting reading under her twigs. Gathering a bit of courage, Hanna looked up, looking at the man's face, still the same, still filled with anger.
"You want to say something?" finally Alex who could not bear to wait for the initiative of the girl began to talk. Folding his hands on his chest, looking straight at the pupil of the girl's eyes.
"A-i? said what?"
Okay, it seems Hanna wants to test Alex's patience, but today's damn it seems the girl won't get it.
"You feel innocent? nothing is forgotten by you today?" push Alex with a high tone. But to whatever extent Hanna insisted on remembering, she did not gain enlightenment.
"I feel like nothing's wrong. Why don't you just say it when you remember?" hanna's guts are shrinking.
Alex smiled wryly at the girl's words. The corner of his lips was drawn upwards forming a mocking smile, although his current position was precisely the one in the girl's game.
"Didn't you promise me something? fucking shit! three hours I was waiting for you on that hill, and you-you were cool with that Malory bastard?!"
Hanna's memory piece is back. Right, last night he promised to meet the man in the lake. He did not remember that promise. After all, if he wants to be carried back, he is forced to come, meaning it is fine if he does not come.
Hanna looked at that dull face. Imagining such a powerful man as Alex waiting for him for three hours was truly unbelievable. In the novel he is not the type of man who would wait and give heart to any girl, but this time? Guilt was tucked into the heart of the girl. She was also not the type of woman who liked to break promises, it was just that she had completely forgotten.
"I'm sorry, I don't remember. Your fault why wait up to three hours," said Hanna as sincere as her heart.
"Don't remember? that doesn't mean that promise you made?"
"You'll be home when I don't show up for half an hour" Hanna still maintains her ego.
"I'd love to. Believe me, I'd love to go home. But my heart says, I have to wait, my heart wants to see you. You hear me, goddamn it! I so wanted to meet you, foolishly carrying a bouquet of flowers that I even prepared from the morning!"
The breeze of the night stroked her pretty face, making a bit of her hair out of the bind. Hanna lost her tongue, she just stared softly at the man. She is also confused, not hypocritical, she is also affected by the man since they kissed for the first time, but Hanna brushes aside Alex's shadow, reminding the man that it belongs to Catherine.
"I'm sorry," he said slowly. Only that word appeared on the tip of his tongue. The softness of the girl's voice was in fact able to water the coals of what was ready to burn them.
Again Alex had to acknowledge the superiority of the girl. Her pain, disappointment and anger while waiting in the lake simply vanished with a sincere apology and Hanna's soft voice.
What if in his heart there was only that girl? maybe if Hanna asked her to jump into a burning fire, Alex would do it too, just to make the girl happy.
"That's it, forget it,"
Hanna gave a faint smile towards Alex a sign of their peace on the matter. Maybe Alex wasn't that bad. They could be good friends. After all, before long, Alex will be his sister-in-law, they have to get along in one family, right?
"Thank you for forgiving me." This time Hanna did not need to hide her smile that Alex replied with a smile as well.
"You went with Malory today?" Hanna who had not expected the man to be that quick to change the subject only nodded.
"Where?"
"I don't like you going with him, or with any man!"
Looks like something needs to be straightened out here. Hanna had indeed apologized, she had also been willing to be reconciled, even if the man offered friendship, she would accept happily, but why would Alex's question further corner her? why is he being interrogated, and what right does that man have to forbid him to go with anyone, including Will?
"We've just made peace. It even occurred to me to change the value of your personality in my heart, convince myself, that you're not that bad, but like I was wrong!" Hanna took one step back.
"You mean?"
"What basis do you forbid me to go with someone else? I'm going with Will anyway, because he's my lover, my future husband," Hanna said firmly. He won't want to be regulated or intimidated by Alex's power, even though he's a Duke!
"Love? prospective husband? what do you mean?" the anger that had been doused until it was extinguished, now re-ignited.
"Today, Will has already said his heart, and I accept it. We'll get married soon, maybe even before you guys. Will when.."
Aaaa..
Pekik Hanna surprised. Alex's big hand was already gripping the trunk of his neck, leaning the girl against the trunk of the tree and locking his body.
"You won't be anyone's lover or marry any man, other than me!" The demon that Hanna had seen at the beginning of their meeting today appeared again, even more terrifying. The demon king!
"Let go!" Hanna tried her hardest to let go of Alex's hand that locked her up.
"Don't play me, my Lady!"
"Crazy basic! what business do you have that I'm married to? you're just my sister-in-law's candidate, you have no right to determine whether I should go with another man!"
"Who will be your sister-in-law? get ready after your debut, I'll propose to you!" Alex had already relaxed his pressure on Hanna's body.
Hanna's face turned pale. So far, everything the man has said, he has always proved it. Suddenly Hanna remembered the words of her mother, then the face of Catherine who would be disappointed if her marriage with Alex was canceled.
"Please, don't do that. I can't marry you. Catherine's gonna get hurt, she really likes you," Hanna said begging, unknowingly touching Alex's arm, but the man was shaking.
"I don't love Catherine. I want you, not him!"
"But I don't love you, I gave my heart to Will!"
Aaach.pekik Hanna back shocked. Alex hit the wood right on the side of his face, just like back then.
"Never say you love that man, or I'll kill him!"
