Chapter 587 Start over
Laura shuddered in astonishment again.
She never thought Max would say those things to her.
His tone was extremely sincere and miserable. He was like a dying person waiting for her rescue.
She never knew he had already loved her to the marrow. This was unbelievable!
How proud and unrestrained Max usually was!
It was as if nothing in the world could make him bow his head.
But now, he was holding her, begging her to love him…
Tears suddenly rolled down Laura’s cheeks.
After a long while, Laura finally said softly with a broken voice, “Max, do you even know what you’re
saying?”
“Yes.”
Max said in a coarse voice, “Sorry. I thought I shouldn’t tell you my true feelings until you said yes to
me. I had been waiting for you to approach me. But I forgot that it was me who started this relationship,
and it was also me who took the initiative to approach you first.”
“Sorry that my pride hurt you. I once thought of giving up, but I couldn't. So, Laura, would you give me
a second chance?”
“This time, our relationship is not a deal and it should be unconditional. We’ll just be together as any
other couples do. You can also throw tantrums at me and tell me anything you wanna say. Let’s date
for real for once, OK?”
Hearing his words, Laura cried even harder.
But Max didn’t know that, because Laura was facing him with her back.
After a long time, Laura fought back her tears with difficulty and said, “Why bother?”
Yeah, why bother trying?
She knew perfectly that she would not agree to be with him no matter how well they got along.
Also, she was fully aware that Like moths flying to the fire, all their efforts would go wasted and they
might even hurt themselves.
Thus, what was the point of trying again?
What did he see in her? Why would he strive to be with her?
Max gave a wry smile.
Truthfully, he didn’t know why he insisted on trying so hard either.
Yet, a small voice in his head told him that if he didn’t make an effort tonight, he might never have a
chance again.
He was just trying to… hold on to the only woman he had ever loved wholeheartedly!
Max asked in an undertone, “Do you still hate me?”
Laura didn’t say a word.
Max continued, “I threatened you with your mother’s life. I had sex with you without your permission.
And I often picked on you. Don’t you hate me to the gut?
Laura wanted to say no.
But the word that came out was “yes”.
Max laughed, as if mocking himself.
“This is why you should promise me. You gotta seize the chance to torture me and get back at me for
all the sufferings I’ve put you through. What do you say?”
Laura’s tears, which had stopped running due to her effort, burst out again.
“Max, what should I do with you…” she thought to herself.
As if sensing that she was crying, Max finally let her go. He held her by the shoulders and turned her
around to face him.
Then, he lowered his head, cupped his hands around her face, and began to kiss her teardrops.
The tears slipped into his mouth, which tasted salty and bitter.
But Max didn’t mind. He didn’t begin to kiss her on the lips until his kiss made all her tears go away.
This kiss was extremely soft and gentle.
Max had kissed Laura many times. But he never kissed her as tenderly as he did this time. It was as if
he was kissing the most precious pearl in the world. His lips gently brushed past every inch of her skin,
as though he was trying to melt her into his body.
The moonlight poured through the leaves and formed rings of white light and dark shades on the
ground.
Max and Laura were immersed in the kiss, as though there were nothing else but them in the world.
Luckily, it was late at night, and no one was around.
With the dim light, if one didn’t get close, they wouldn’t even notice there were two people standing
there.
The kiss went on for God knew how long. It was not until Laura felt she was about to suffocate that Max
let her go.
But the break only lasted for a brief moment. He pressed his forehead against hers. His deep eyes
registered the kind of affection he had never revealed before.
When Laura caught her breath, Max’s lips stole over her again.
It seemed that Max wanted the kiss to last forever. Bit by bit, his tender love melted her heart.
Laura felt that her body was quivering. Her legs seemed to be made of jelly. If Max hadn’t been
supporting her, she would almost collapse to the ground.
There were light chirps of bugs in the woods.
This place was quiet and serene.
This time, the kiss also lasted for a long while before Max let her off the hook.
Max’s eyes were smiley again. Perhaps he started to smile when Laura couldn’t help but fall into his
arms, or when she was moved and began to passionately respond to his kiss.
Anyway, Max seemed over the moon. His eyes glinted brightly in the darkness as he gazed at her.
Feeling uncomfortable to be stared at, Laura looked away, her cheeks burning with a blush. She asked,
“What’s so funny?”
Max took her to his bosom and said with irrepressible exultation, “Does this mean you’ve forgiven me?”
Laura froze in place.
Max gazed at her with expectant and timid eyes.
Laura gave an almost imperceptible nod and said “Yeah”.
Like a child who attained candy, Max instantly carried her into his arms in raptures.
Being caught off hard, Laura was startled by Max. He held her and spun around several times before
putting her down.
Laura slapped Max on the shoulder with exasperation and said, “Stop it! That was kinda scary!”
Elated, Max said with a smile, “Laura, thank you.”
Laura felt rather doleful.
She forced a smile and said, “What for?”
“Thank you for giving me a second chance.”
As Max spoke, he grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest.
“I know I’m not a good-tempered person. And I’ve done a lot of things to hurt you before. But don’t
worry. I will not repeat my mistakes. I’ll never let you down on any account again.”
A little taken aback, Laura looked up at Max.
Seeing his earnest look, she felt like crying again for no reason. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
She managed a smile, pulled her hand out of Max’s grip, and said, “That we can talk about later.”
Noticing that Laura didn’t seem very happy about this, Max thought that she hadn’t really believed in
what he had promised. He then told himself that she would believe it when she saw his action.
