209 Long Yi's visit (1)

Emma looked at the hand holding her own and then back at him.

"What?" She asked.

Max let out a soft sigh and let go of her hand. "I'm sorry." He said.

"OK." She replied.

"Please don't leave because of that." He said.

"Because of what? As far as I'm concerned, I'm grateful to you. You helped me and opened my eyes to realize that the hope put on a fellow human is nothing but vain. 

I'm actually thankful to you. I just think I can handle a few things on my own now.

I'm free from assassination attempts and could go out. Instead of sucking up to your protection, because anything else could be discussed on the phone or plan a meeting, I decided to spend my freedom with my parents.

It's not too late to visit a park together, you know." She said and all he stared at were those lips of hers.

They drew boundaries between them, he wanted to seal it with his own and make her stop.
