In this chapter of His Domineering Lover, Celia introduces major changes to the story. Chapter 1089 shifts the narrative tone, revealing secrets, advancing character arcs, and increasing stakes within the Romance genre.
Like Serena, Thirza had her own opinions since she was a child. No matter what she did, she would analyze rationally.
Once they had decided what they were going to do, there would be no change.
Steve was very clear that Thirza was indeed doing it for him. He deliberately made a bet, and Thirza would definitely prove that she really loved him and then promise him.
Just like Thirza had said, he understood her better than she herself did.
"Thirza, will you forget me in six years?" Steve gently pressed her against his chest.
He hoped that Thirza would forget about him, so that she would have a better future.
But if he were to be selfish, he wanted himself to remain in her memory forever.
"That depends on how you wanna play along. If I don't find you with other women, I will definitely not forget you."
Thirza decided a little joke was in order to ease the tension around them now.
"Thirza, you have to grow up well." Steve held the back of her head. In six years, Thirza would definitely have great changes.
"Starting to feel a little bit yearning now, aren't we?" Thirza raised her neck and looked at him. "In six years, if I still love you and you also love me, we will get engaged."
Engagement, that was something that sounded so unreachable, but Steve's heart inexplicably began to look forward to it.
"Well, if there is such a day, even if your mom hunts me down with a knife, I will not let you go again."
Thirza laughed and said, "I don't think it would be my mom but my dad. And by then, I'll stand before you and yell out to them 'over my dead body¹!"
"Indulging yourself in qutie a bit Desperate Housewives lately?" Steve said helplessly.
"I wanna sleep with you for the next few days, consider it my last wish before I go."
"Well, I'll tell your mom about you going to Milan now."
"Why don't I do it? You are too nervous now to be talking to her and as clever as my mom, she's gonna suspect there's something wrong."
Steve scratched his head in embarrassment. Ever since he kissed her, he had a strong sense of guilt towards Tracey.
Although Thirza was younger than him, she was as experienced as an old con. Soon, she Facetimed Tracey.
"Mom, we've got home. You guys are going to bed already?
There was a twelve-hour time lag between them.
"Baby, be obedient and listen to Steve's words. Don't make trouble." Tracey's gentle voice came through.
Adam came out from behind her and said, "Thirza, I have something important to discuss with your mommy. I'll call you tomorrow."
"Dad, there's plenty of time for you to get into her pants, hell, those are your pants if I'm not mistaken!" Thirza knew that they were interrupted by her at the sight of his face.
Adam's face changed. "Thirza, how can a lady talk like this? Where're your manners?"
"You are the one interrupting my conversation with mom here, so you'd better look into a mirror and ask yourself about the manners." Thirza ignored Adam's anger.
Anyway, Adam would never be really angry with her hence her fearlessness when talking to Adam.
"What¹ is it, Thirza?" Tracey pushed Adam aside when she heard that Thirza was going to talk business with her.
"Mom, you know that I've always liked designing, so I want to go to Milan to study."
"Well, it's a good thing. You've never been good with your schoolwork anyway. You might as well focus on something you really like."
Tracey and Adam were both very democratic parents, and they always respected their children's opinions.
They never imposed their own wills on their children just because they were business owners of great business empires. They wanted their children to choose for themselves.
"Thirza, are you really leaving?"
"Yep, you must be quite thrilled that there wouldn't be a noisy troublemaker around you anymore."
"Thirza, I'll go to Milan with you! " He had been her guardian angel for too long to leave her now.
Thirza shook her head and said, "Harrison, I would be a dumb pile of poop if I don't know that you have feelings for me all these years. But I also have to tell you that I've got someone here in my heart already. I can't bear to waste any more of your time now."
"Thirza, I never thought of getting anything from you when I'm with you. I just want to protect you," Harrison explained anxiously.
"I know, I know it all. It's precisely because of this that we can't continue like this. I don't want you to become the second Steve.
"You have your own life. You are Harrison, not a duplicate of me or anything else, you are just you. So this time, I can't let you come with me."
She knew that the longer time passed, the deeper Harrison's feelings for her. Since she couldn't give him happiness, she didn't want to waste one more second of his time.
Everyone had their own path to take, and so did Harrison.
"Thirza, I don't want be without you."
"Who said you are going to? You can always call me. I'm gonna be missing you as well." Thirza made it sound so easy.
Even if she didn't love Harrison, she had long ago regarded him as her best friend.
Harrison's face grew dim. "Thirza, can I hug you for once?"
"Sure," Thirza and Harrison embraced each other under the parasol tree. The leaves were yellow and withered, and as the wind blew, the leaves flew down from the branches and danced in the wind.
In the car not far away, Steve's heart tightened when he saw this scene. Was he really willing to send Thirza out?
When she was really in a crowd of teenagers her age, she would probably really forget how it was like being with him. She might probably forget about him altogether.
