Princess Isabella couldn’t help but gawk her disbelief to his words with her expression, "You were just a child at that time. Don’t utter nonsense..."
Davis wryly curved his lips.
Princess Isabella didn’t know that he was a reincarnator-like existence. He wanted to reveal that fact but he knew that their relationship wasn’t intimate enough for him to reveal, nor could he place enough trust in her.
Even Natalya who spent way more time with him intimately didn’t know about his secret.
"You know, on the same day, I got to know about the marriage agreement with Evelynn and Princess Shirley, so it could be said that if the marriage agreement didn’t exist, I might’ve pursued you in the future, the most powerful woman in the Grand Sea Continent..."
Princess Isabella had her tongue-tied. Her slightly agape lips closed before she shook her head, "It’s only an if situation... Such a thing-"
"That’s right," Davis nodded his head as he interrupted, "It’s only an if situation but who can say that we are not fated? Even now, you are not sure of what to think of me, right?"
Princess Isabella nodded her head without hesitating even a little bit, "At that time, you walked away, uttering that our matter was over. I instantly didn’t feel good one bit after hearing your words, and my mind became a mess despite the long years of will I have trained."
"However, I knew... even if I try, I probably wouldn’t be able to extricate myself..."
"This made me realize that the feeling of love is something that you cannot control by yourself... Nonetheless, the day you kissed and claimed me as your own, I knew that I already became yours..."
"But," Princess Isabella’s eyes glazed before she averted her gaze, "I am not prepared for this..."
Davis raised his hand and touched her warm cheek. He looked into her glazed eyes and saw that she was... scared, scared of her future.
’Indeed, she does not know what kind of life she’s getting herself into... Life after being tied to a man, and in this case, it’s me... A married man...’ Davis inwardly sighed.
Indeed, he is a married man, not to mention having another woman in his arms other than his first wife. It was no wonder that she would be afraid, afraid of investing emotions, only to have the anxiety of being betrayed later.
Giving equal attention and love was impossible.
Princess Isabella did not make any moves that rejected him. They just kept staring at each other’s eyes as if they were trying to see through each other’s thoughts, perhaps regarding themselves.
Davis abruptly moved closer to her face and realizing his intent, Princess Isabella’s heart constricted as she closed her eyes. Her heart pounded loudly as she knew what would happen next.
Her dainty fingers moved to his chest as she raised her arm and felt his strong build. The thought of pushing him away flashed past her mind. With her strength, it would be an extremely easy, minor effort for her to push him away, even break his bones.
However, her fingers trembled as she refused to move as she didn’t want to display any kind of rejection towards him. She was afraid, afraid of both her future and losing him, hence, she could only tremble in his grasp.
Then abruptly, she felt it... His fine lips, leaving a soft yet warm touch on her... forehead.
Princess Isabella’s quivering eyelids became calm as she opened her eyes, only to look his figure moving two steps back away from her.
"I understand. If you do not feel secure about our future, then feel free to approach me anytime to learn more about me until you feel satisfied. I’ll wait for you..."
Davis faintly smiled, "But that doesn’t change the fact that you have already become mine..."
With an awkward chuckle, he turned back and opened the door. Giving her one last look with an expectant smile on his face, he blinked and remembered.
"There are some important things that happened, so the next time we meet, I’ll inform you of that..."
Closing the door, he left.
Princess Isabella looked blank the whole moment. Only after she heard the sound of the door closing did she realize what had happened. She moved her arm and touched her forehead with her finger, still feeling the soft warmth from before.
Princess Isabella suddenly felt a unique feeling, a kind of uplifting feeling that made her feel comfortable, perhaps even pleasurable in the level of the soul.
Her heart was rapidly beating, pumping blood into her cheeks as it almost became crimson red.
"Is this what... love is?" Princess Isabella nibbled her lips as she felt her eyes turning moist.
This wonderful feeling that stemmed from somewhere unknown to her, made her feel unique, blissful, and otherworldly. She didn’t think such an emotion would exist that caused her heart and mind to experience tumultuous waves of satisfaction than any breakthrough she had ever made in her life!
