A Ruling Passion – Chapter 1471

It did not matter if he was going to leave her or if their relationship would not end with a happy ending. All she could cling onto was what she had at that moment.

After a long time, Sylvain gently sighed and let go of her. His expression still brimmed with excitement as he held onto her cheek and said with a croaky voice, “Let’s go to my place.”

Robin knew exactly what he meant. For the longest time, they had been treating each other as friends and maintained their distance with each other. Therefore, Robin did not know if she should accept his offer and jump back into being in a relationship so suddenly. After pondering for a few seconds, she gritted her teeth and said, “I can’t. It’s so late now, my mom will be looking for me soon. I should go back now.”

A look of disappointment flashed through his eye. “Would you be my girlfriend? I’m serious, I don’t care how your parents think of me. I won’t run away from you ever again.”

Robin felt inferior as she recalled her conversation with Ursula. “Don’t you think we’re living in two different worlds? You should be marrying a reputable designer like yourself or the daughter of a wealthy family instead of nobody like me who comes from a common family. Even if you don’t regret it now, I’m afraid that the day will come eventually. Didn’t you say that a relationship that doesn’t have others’ blessing wouldn’t fare well in the end? You’re well aware of my parents’ character. Although they aren’t as stubborn as they used to be, your mother... wouldn’t like me anyway. I think that our current friendship is fine enough, truly. I’d rather not hope for too much because the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment.”
