Chapter 34



34 The Kiss

Aldrich’s POV:

We sat side by side on the bench. She didn’t say anything, and she stared into the distance. She looked so beautiful. If it didn’t happen now, I would have admired her, but I was afraid that her silence at the moment was due to embarrassment or some other emotion.

‘Oh my god! Don’t deceive yourself, Aldrich!’ It was precisely because I acted like a pervert just now that she must have been frightened! As long as I didn’t do anything, our relationship would be restored to how it was in the past, but I just couldn’t control myself! I was so stupid!

“Hey, do you want to… Uhm, watch the sunset later?” I asked awkwardly.

“Of… Of course.” Selma wasn’t as excited as usual. Instead, she was a little hesitant.

I tried to smile back at her as if nothing had happened. “That’s great. Let’s go.”

I was really the stupidest person in the world! There was no cure for me! I had messed up everything! I hoped that she wouldn’t distance herself from me tomorrow…

“I knew you would mess up these things. She must be angry. This is terrible!” my Wolf was making a ruckus.

Selma stood up and looked at me doubtfully. I stood where I was and didn’t move. If I had to give myself a score, it would probably be negative. I acted stupid, frivolous, and even a little perverted.

I hurriedly caught up with her and pretended to be relaxed as I said, “I found a very beautiful place. It’s very nice to watch the sunset. Do you want to order something to eat? I’ll go to the nearby store to buy something.”

Usually, when we went out, she would hold my hand. I didn’t even dare to hope that this would happen. It would be fine as long as she was willing to see me tomorrow. I really couldn’t believe that I would keep making such mistakes.

“It’s fine. I don’t feel like eating. Let’s go watch the sunset…”

She shook her head as if she had no interest at all. My mood fell to the bottom along with her expression. Perhaps she agreed to see the sunset with me because she feared I would be too sad. She was such a gentle person, so she definitely wouldn’t have the heart to hurt others. When I thought of this, I felt an indescribable sadness in me.

I’d lost my precious treasure. Maybe she’d still treat me calmly tomorrow, but we might never be able to go back to the intimate relationship we had in the past.

With a heavy heart, I drove the car to a hill. This was the place I found last time. I was planning to bring her here this week. We did come, but our feelings were different, and our relationship was different. No matter what, I was still happy to be able to go with her.

We climbed up to the roof of the carriage. Wildflowers of various colors bloomed all over the hill. There were no trees to block us from the view. We could see the sun slowly melting into the horizon like gold, burning away all its glory and glory. When I first saw this heart-palpitating scene by chance, I decided to share it with Selma. She was worth all the good things in the world.

The wind ruffled her long brown hair. Selma leaned against the car while I carefully sat beside her. There was about a fist’s distance between us. She suddenly moved her fingers slightly toward me. Then, she moved closer to me.

My heart was beating fast. This could be said to be the most nervous moment of my life. I was flattered to see her holding my hand and leaning on me.

She turned around and smiled at me. “Thank you. I like it here.”

I looked into her eyes. The sun in her eyes seemed to be burning, slowly approaching the ground with an aura that could destroy everything. I couldn’t help but approach her. The bright light of the setting sun wrapped around her. She seemed to have come from heaven, and out of pity and love, she stayed here.

If only time could stop at this moment. A gentle breeze caressed my face as I sat beside the person I loved the most and watched the sunset. It was as if there was still a great possibility of our future, and we could watch hundreds or thousands of sundown together.

When our bodies were leaning against each other, I stopped. My heart was screaming for me to kiss her, but my rationality told me that if I did that, our relationship would end.

“Yeah, it’s so beautiful today… ”

But she suddenly came close to me, and I stared at her beautiful face. Then, I suddenly realized something, and my eyes widened in disbelief.

The next second, the soft and full lips I was longing to kiss were on mine. It was as if there was a ray of sunshine, with a boiling heat and an aura that could not be ignored. I couldn’t believe that the thing I had dreamed of was suddenly happening. I hugged her waist, closed my eyes, and kissed her deeply.

At this moment, it didn’t matter if she was the Queen’s blood relative or if she had any other identity. I had never desired her so much. Every drop of blood in my body was rushing in joy, and every beat of my heart was for her.

Selma wrapped her arms around my neck and deepened the kiss. I could taste the sweet scent of a small bitter orchid on her body and the sweetness of candy. I was like a thirsty traveler who had finally received rain.

Now I was the happiest person in the world. Even the king’s crown couldn’t compare to this.
