Chapter One hundred fifteen: Her secret admirer

Scratching the back of his neck, his lips curled into a shy smile. 

"I have already eaten those words, haven't I?" He paused for a second, staring me in the eye. "I know I love you then, but I just don't have enough courage to tell you. You're so smart and stubborn that sometimes you could almost eat me alive with your smart mouth."

Tss! Stubborn and smart mouth! 

"But you were the one who always had bad comments and horrible words towards me!"

"I know, sweetheart, and I'm so sorry. Back then, I had to be like that, dominant and arrogant in front of you because in case you didn't know, I was so afraid of talking to you. You have a sweet and sharp tongue the white always kept me in place, you always made my mouth shut. And during those moments, I had to deny my true feelings because I was afraid that when you discover it, you might leave this marriage."

"That's why you had to pretend to be my secret admirer?" He nodded.
