Jayden’s voice echoed, pulling me out of my deep thoughts Sitting on the patio of the graden of the backyard, I put my hands behind me on the pavement and leaned back to look up at Jayden, who had worry pasted all over his face.

Sighing, I told him, “I just need to sort my thoughts is all.”

He nodded his head in understanding before crouching down to my level and handing me a glass of wine. Winking knowingly, he commented, “I guessed you might need some boost.”

Laughing a little, I asked, “Boast of confidence to make rejection?”

Standing up, he bobbed his head in laughter and seriously said, “More like confidence, to be honest.”

With that, he turned around and left me with my jaws dropped on the ground.

I think I’ve given them too much freedom to speak their mind, and they have become too bold. Nonetheless, I always appreciate his and Zara’s honest comments and advice.

Staying seated on the step of the porch of the backyard garden, I took a sip from the wine glass with eyes on the various bushes of flowers in front of me. Being surrounded by flowers gave me a sense of peace, and the fresh breeze and sunlight shining on my skin helped calm my nerves.

Up until now, I still couldn’t believe what Deacon told me and what he offered me. In all honesty and practically speaking, I’d say his offer was a good one. In fact, it’s a win–win.

However, hearing that he currently has a woman whom he loves, I couldn’t help but think twice, worrying that I might end up falling for him and that it would never be reciprocated.

More importantly, I fear I’d be heartbroken. Looking at it in the big picture, Deacon’s a gentle and principled man. It’s not hard to like him, not to mention that I’m undeniably attracted to him.

“Well, it’s him or the king. Take your pick,” Ava forced her way in through my mind just to sarcastically give her opinion before vanishing again, making me want to smack her head only if it didn’t mean I’d be smacking my own head to do that.

I didn’t know how much time I was staying in the garden with Deacon waiting in the living room until I grabbed the wine glass from the side and tried to take a sip from it, only to realize that it was already empty.

“Thanks, Jayde-” I started to say as I saw the neck of the wine glass just as someone started pouring me a refill. Looking up to thank Jayden, I almost drop the glass, and I realise that it’s Deacon.

Clearing my throat, I corrected myself, “Thank you.”

Setting down the wine on the side, he sat down beside me. Looking up ahead like me, he calmly said, “Elena, I meant what I said. My heart is set on that one woman, and…” He turned his head to meet my eyes. “That will never change.”

I caught my breath, staring into his eyes filled with determination that felt like a sharp knife being struck into me instead.

Completely taken aback, I hesitantly asked in a soft voice, “You sound so… devoted.”

A bitter smirk subconsciously escaped my lips, which I hid by taking a gulp of wine. “Why suddenly bring this

up?”

Was this his way of convincing me to agree to his proposal? If so, I think it’s a really bad kind of strategy.
