Chapter 73

"Do you still want to fall in love with me?"

Anika processed his words for a long time before she murmured, "Are you confessing to me now?"

Zac looked at her with his pitch-black eyes and replied softly, "Yes."

In his deep voice, there was a faint and inaudible nervousness.

However, Anika only breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she suddenly turned around and walked out of the crowded street.

The hotel was not far from the street.

Zac followed behind her and watched as she walked back to the hotel and opened the door to their
room.

He didn't look back the whole time.

The two of them walked into the living room.

Only then did Anika turn around and quietly look at him.

Her silent attitude made Zac unsure of her intentions.

He frowned slightly and then probed, "You've committed a sin against me, Nika.You promised earlier
that you wanted to make up with me, but now you want to break your promise?"

He was talking about Anika's outrageous actions when she was drunk last time.

Anika was stunned for a moment before she regained her senses.



She shook her head and said, "No…”

After a pause, she said, "Have you thought it through?"

"You think I'm joking?" Zac pursed his lips.

He had said so much, but this was her only reaction.

In the bar just now, she was having a good chat with another man.

Zac suddenly felt a miserable aura choking his throat, and he felt a bit more bitter.

Anika lowered her eyes and pondered for a while before whispering, "Zac, I'm quite a boring person."

She knew very well that she was not a very vivid person.

Therefore, she always used a gentle and considerate posture to cover up her numb and boring
shortcomings.

She wished him to think it over, not to just have a sudden interest in her.

"Nika, you seem to have misunderstood something.’’ Seeing her put up a bundle, Zac chuckled softly
and patted her head.

"I didn't do it on a whim.I waited for a long time’’

"Waited for what?"

Anika was stunned.

‘Wait for what? ‘ The thing that Zac regretted the most in his life was that when he discovered that he
liked her, she was already with someone else.



If he had known earlier that the awkward feeling he felt when facing her was love, he might not have
waited for so many years.

Unfortunately, when he understood his intentions, he no longer dared to reveal them.

At that time, she already had a ridiculous engagement, and he was afraid that his confession would
push her further away.

He could only get along with her as if nothing had happened.

But when he finally got the chance, fate played another joke on him.

The twenty years of his peaceful life had collapsed.

He could not abandon his grandfather who was unable to withstand stroke, and his father who was
imprisoned.

He could only tear up the application that he had prepared outside the instructor's office and watch her
leave the country alone.

At that time, he had to take care of his grandfather and deal with the group of creditors that came up
frequently.

Sheena once offered to help him study abroad to avoid the limelight, but at that time, he had already
been forced to give up all his arrogance.

There was no need for him to waste any more effort to drag her into his miserable life.

However, he couldn't give up on his decadent days.

He was unwilling to stay in such a situation.



In the next year or so, he was almost gambling his life on his way out.

Just when everything was starting to improve, he learned about her relationship with Kayden from the
surrounding people.

Sometimes, even Zac felt that there was no such thing as fate between the two of them.

He knew how serious Anika was about everything.

Since she had decided to start, she would not end it casually.

In the end, it was a step too late.

‘If one were to ask what I had been waiting for all these years ..” Zac pursed his lips and looked at her
with deep eyes.

His voice was a little choked up, "I want to wait and see if there will be a day when you will turn around
and love me.’

With that, he smiled bitterly.

"Nika.”

"Huh?"

"Give me your hand"

Anika was still stuck in his words just now, her expression stiffened as she stared blankly at him and
stretched out her hand.

The man sighed and shook his head.



He took out something from his pocket and put it on her slender wrist.

"I will now return this to its original owner.’ Seeing the familiar bracelet on her wrist, Anika was filled
with thoughts.

In a trance, she finally understood something, but she couldn't figure out the thread.

"This bracelet ..."

Zac raised his eyebrows, pulled the corner of his mouth, and pretended to reprimand, "I was so
determined that I chased after the thief and even ran two blocks.’’ After saying that, the man’s throat
slipped and he heaved a sigh of relief.

He said warmly, "There is no one else.From the past until now, it has always been you."

It was probably because he was too stubborn.

People who tried their best to reach out were always reluctant to let go.

"Anika, you promised me that you would do your best,’ Zac whispered in her ear when she was
extremely tired countless times.

‘There's no one else, it's all you, only you” Anika couldn't help but choke, her cheeks were slightly
blushing, and her rippling eyes were sparkling and translucent.

She didn't know how to describe this feeling.

Her heart was feeling as if it was filled with soft cotton magically, calming down all her astringent
emotions.

It became comfortable, but she couldn't control the sore in her eyes and nose.



Zac sighed helplessly as his warm fingers brushed through the tears at the corner of her eyes.

After a while, he slowly asked, "Oh, so what about you?"

‘Times have changed, as well as your current self, would you like to stay with me?’

"Yes,' Anika replied softly.

"Zac, I'll still fall in love with you"

“I like to eat three meals a day with him at the villa.I enjoy his constant company and even like the
arrogance with which he occasionally picks up his coat and quarrels with me.Even without all of this, I
wanted to be with him”

The corners of Zac's lips curled up slightly as he raised his eyebrows carelessly and praised, "That
proves that you have good taste.”
