Chapter 202: The Confession

Evelyn thought that she might have misheard, otherwise, why would the prince say such words?

But when she looked into his eyes, her heart skipped a beat and she couldn’t help but feel bewildered.

Did the prince like her?

She must have misheard.

Evelyn’s consciousness told her again as she shook her head. Regan looked at her in confusion and asked

"What are you doing?"

Was she perhaps refusing his words?

Evelyn blinked and whispered a moment later.

"I think there is something wrong with my ears ...or I might be having hallucinations."

Regan’s lips were pressed in a thin line for a moment when he heard these words. Exactly how much low self-esteem did this girl have?

He wondered suddenly.

Could she not even believe that he could like her?

The next moment, he suddenly held her waist and pulled her closer to himself if that was even possible.

Evelyn’s eyes widened when she saw him pushing his mask above slightly and then the next moment she suddenly felt something warm or cold covering her lips. She couldn’t even comprehend anything because the shock had clouded her mind.

When Regan probed the entrance of her lips with her tongue, she opened them absentmindedly but when his tongue probed inside her mouth and seductively probed every hook and corner of her mouth, she suddenly closed her eyes and moaned loudly.

Evelyn stilled wondering if it was just now she who produced such a shameful sound.

Her moan only encouraged Regan as he was suddenly more devoted to what he was doing.

Her heart was beating so loudly that she felt as if she was carrying a drum inside her chest.

The feeling she felt at that moment was so unfamiliar to her. She felt excited but scared. A few moments later, she suddenly felt unable to breathe.

Her hand which was on Regan’s chest tried to push him away unconsciously.

Regan groaned but backed away. His lips still hovered over hers as Evelyn breathed heavily with her eyes still closed.

She didn’t have the courage to open them. She didn’t understand what just happened.

Both of them didn’t know when Lavo had surrounded his wings wide and now they were completely enclosed amidst them. The giant creature seemed to be embracing both of them.

Regan looked at her silently.

Contrary to her breathlessness, he was completely calm but his eyes were hooded with a new kind of desire. As he looked at Evelyn’s wet lips he groaned again making Evelyn open her eyes abruptly wondering what happened.

Yet when she looked at him, she felt unable to breathe again.

Regan held her firmly against him as if he couldn’t bear to part away for even a moment.

"Do you believe me now?"

He whispered in a low voice but was aware that she could hear him from the way she avoided looking into her eyes.

Still, Regan decided to be honest today.

He caressed the corner of her lips softly as he whispered

"I love you, Evelyn."

Evelyn stilled when she heard the words again.

It was then Regan pecked her lips again to bring her out of whatever thoughts were going to sprout inside her mind.

"But you don’t need to say anything...not yet."

A moment later, he stepped away though a little reluctantly and he pushed his mask down again. His hand was still on her cheek as he caressed it with his knuckles.

"I was scared today. I thought that ...I might lose you even before getting you."

The words made Evelyn look into Regan’s eyes finally.

Till now, she was feeling scared by Regan’s sudden confession. Her fear was natural. This kind of love which had been shown to her by Arthur had left a shadow on her heart at a very young age.

So now, even though she trusted Regan, she felt scared and confused.

But when she saw his eyes which were filled with the real fear of losing her, she felt her every fear leaving her heart.

Seeing that, she was at least listening to him calmly, Regan was relieved and continued

"I know that this marriage was a pretense for you ...but to me, this marriage was real from the start. Every vow I uttered that day in front of you, I meant it. To me, you are my wife with whom I wish to spend the rest of my life."

Evelyn inhaled sharply at the words.

Seeing this, Regan stroked her hair which had been messed up by the wind, and said gently

"I know it is a lot for you. It’s alright. Take your time. I have other things to show you as well."

Regan wisely diverted the conversation. He held her hand while Lavo took back his wings. Like this, he started to walk towards the door of the roof.

From behind, Evelyn heard Lavo’s growl. Clearly, he wanted them to stay.

However, Regan didn’t even look behind as he said to Evelyn

"Don’t worry about him. He will leave."

Lavo growled again before he flew away finally.

As they reached their room, Evelyn looked at her hand which was held by Regan. Her face was still very hot and she was unable to say a single word.

Fortunately, today Regan was ready to do the all talking.

He was not going to let things turn awkward between them.

Evelyn was made to sit on the bed by Regan. She was confused when she saw him walking to the closet and suddenly taking out a box.

She frowned in confusion as she had never seen the box before even though the closet had her clothes as well. Perhaps it was kept in the prince’s drawer.

Regan walked to her and sat beside her with the box in his hand.

Then he looked at her and said

"I wanted to tell you about this for a while now."

As Regan said this, he opened the box and Evelyn looked in wonder at the beautiful pearl inside the small box.

"This..."

She whispered in confusion.

Regan took out the pearl and placed it in her palm.

"I got this pearl when I had tamed Lavo."
