After the Eight Years of Love I Gave Up
Chapter 61

Love Story6 Chapter 10

I had just hung up the phone when Darius hugged me from behind.

He rested his chin on the side of my neck and nuzzled me gently, but didn't say anything.

I couldn't help but smile: "What's wrong?"

"Everly, will you go back?"

"Go back where?"

"Back to New York."

"I have no plans to go back for now, but maybe in the future."

"After all, I haven't done anything to be ashamed of, why shouldn't I be able to go back? My family is still there."

Darius fell silent again.

It was then that I figured out the hidden meaning in his words, "Are you wondering if I'll get back together with Cassius?"

"Will you?"

"If I say absolutely not, would you believe me?"

Darius lowered his eyes, his high nose bridge lightly brushing against my cheek: "I want to believe."

"Darius, I have my pride and self-respect too."

"Do you still have feelings for him in your heart?"

I thought about it seriously: "If I said I had none at all, that wouldn't be realistic, after all, it's been so many years."

Darius suddenly bit me lightly: "Don't say anymore, Everly."

"Let me finish."

"But if you ask whether this feeling is reluctance or unwillingness to let go, it's not that either."

I gently stroked Darius's face: "Breaking up with him didn't cause me much pain or distress, so maybe I stopped loving him a long time ago."

"Perhaps, from the moment he started to lose interest in this relationship, I had already prepared myself for the breakup."

"I won't."

"Hmm?"

"I won't lose interest, I won't be fickle, I won't make you cry or upset..."

Darius hugged me tighter and tighter, until finally, he kissed me again: "Everly, be with me."
