The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 1191

Blake woke up sore all over. Last night was her first time after all, and she was not quite used to it yet. She found herself in a new set of pajamas, with Kevin who had been beside her already gone. As she heard noises outside the room, she stopped stretching. Noticing a tube of ointment on the bedside table, Blake picked it up and read the label. It was for reducing swelling and relieving pain.

She thought to herself, ‘This time, he’s been considerate.’

Kevin was busy with something outside. Thinking of his injuries, Blake put on her shoes and got out of bed. She walked over and opened the door. The mess on the dining table in the living room had been cleaned up. Upon seeing Kevin sweeping the floor, Blake approached quietly and hugged him from behind. “Good morning, darling!”

Kevin replied, “There’s soup in the pot. Go drink it now.”

Hearing the unnaturalness in his tone, Blake knew he must be feeling shy. She could even see the redness behind his ears. Their scents were the same, both carrying the fragrance of last night’s shower gel. Now, she felt that she truly belonged to him.

‘If only we could stay like this forever.’ Blake thought as she went and tasted the soup Kevin cooked. It was thick and satisfying. After a bowl, she felt full.

As Kevin continued to tidy up, he picked up a blanket from the messy couch and tossed it into the laundry basket after seeing a stain on it.

“Leave them to me. I’ll wash them,” said Blake.

Kevin suddenly said, “I have to leave for a while.”

Blake asked, “Where are you going?”

Kevin replied, “To do what I must.”

He thought, ‘Now that Cecilia’s men are protecting Mr. Jardin, there shouldn’t be any problems.’

Blake walked up to him. “Why do you only talk about the company and Mr. Jardin? Haven’t you ever thought about us? Marry me! We could start a family and have a cute little baby. Don’t you ever think about these things?”

Kevin’s silence was the clearest answer Blake could get. She added, “What exactly are you thinking, Kevin? Do you want to marry me or not? I don’t want to pressure you, but being with you, I feel so insecure. I’m scared you’ll leave… I’m scared that one day you’ll just disappear. I’m afraid of not hearing from you. I’m even more afraid you’ll leave me alone.”

Blake had never loved someone this much and she just wanted a peaceful life.

Tears fell as she threw herself into his arms. “I’m sorry… I know I shouldn’t lose my temper like this, but I just can’t stand to see you get hurt again.”

“If I don’t do this, no one else can. Once it’s over, I’ll give you an answer,” said Kevin.

With a heavy heart, Blake asked, “Can’t you give me an answer now? If it’s a bad one, I won’t listen. And how long will you be gone this time?”

Kevin replied, “It won’t be long.”

It would be a lie if Kevin said he had no feelings for Blake. But a stable life, to him, was like a distant, unreachable dream. He grew up in a different world, and he felt more like an emotionless robot than a human. He had no home, no friends, no family, no parents. He even knew nothing about his own birth and certainly did not know how to play these roles. Moreover, with things still unresolved, he believed he could not easily make a promise.
