Chapter 410 - Lance’s Moral Values

Lance chuckled at her words. "That was sweet punishment thou."

Lily pulled herself away from him and pouted her lips.

"Dear, if I told you I love you then, later on, tell you I don't love you anymore, it will only hurt you." He is such a gentleman that he doesn't want to hurt a woman by giving them false hope.

"Then why did you break up with your previous girlfriends if you were so sure that you love them?" Lily said with a raised brow.

Lance was taken aback. He didn't know how to reply to Lily's question.

"Does that mean that you still love all of them?" This time, Lily's tone is accusing.

"No! Of course not!" Lance was certain. But he cannot argue when it comes to his moral values. It is something that he grew up with and can never be changed.

"Mr. Kho, your values are weird and unreasonable. For me, if you like someone, you tell them before they were snatched away from you. No one can tell whether you are meant to be with each other or not unless you try. Only time can tell. It was just a matter of perfect timing."

"You might hurt them or yourself in the end but it doesn't matter. It was a good experience. Everyone is bound to get hurt in a relationship. Even in a healthy relationship, each can get hurt in the process but it is meant to make the relationship stronger. So, why are you being so afraid of hurting me in the end? You are not a saint. If it turns out that in the end, we are not meant to be. Then so be it. I will get hurt, but so what? It's me who wanted this relationship. I won't regret whatever the results may be."

Lily said her thoughts without hesitation and this made Lance admire this woman more. At one point, she was right. Others might find it hard to understand Lance's values in life but it is what he is predisposed to adopt as he grows up. Never hurt anyone may it be emotionally, physically or verbally. Thou sometimes he cannot prevent hurting someone verbally because of his profession as a lawyer, he makes sure that he will make an apology later on. But, if he could prevent physically or emotionally hurt anyone, he would. He believes that before he commits in a relationship, he has to make sure that he is 100% certain of his feelings. For him, that was just right. But for others, like Lily, that could either be wrong or right.

Lance stroke Lily's cheeks with his palm and caress her swollen lips with his thumb. "You talk too much." He said only not to argue with Lily. "You are my woman now, right?" Lance made a confirmation before he assumed.

Lily was stunned. I am his woman now? And he is my man? These thoughts lingered in her head and she still cannot believe it. And she felt blissful. She nodded her head in confirmation.

Lance's smile reached his eyes. "Good." He looked charming, Lily thought internally. "Let's go back before you catch a cold." He reached out for her hands. Their hand intertwined as they stood up from the bench.

"Oh, by the way." Lance turned around without letting go of her hand. With the other hand, he took the bouquet of roses from the bench and gave it to Lily. "You liked the flowers I gave you?"

Lily acts surprised. "Those flowers were from you?"

Lance rolled his eyes. "Don't pretend. I know you knew." Then he pulled her hand back to the hotel.

Lily chuckled. Her heart is filled with fluttering butterflies.
