FULL NOVELXO Chapter 100 Because I Dare Not to Do So
Johny's fierce gaze swept over Kirs' hand that was holding Ceres', and the clothes that Ceres was wearing. "We... Johny, I..." Ceres also did not know how to explain.
She knew Johny was impulsive. Johny saw her together with Kirs, and she knew he wouldn't let go of Kirs!
"Ceres, it's time to go home." Johny sounded calm. But this frightened Ceres even more.
Kirs stood in front of Ceres and said, "Johny! You are rich and powerful. But this doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want! Let me tell you, Ceres doesn't love you. If it wasn't for her father, she wouldn't be with you! If you are smart enough, let her go!"
"Kris!" Ceres shouted angrily.
Johny didn't lose his temper after he heard that. He even put on a faint smile.
"Who are you?"
Ceres walked in front of Kirs and said, "He is Kirs, my best friend. We grow up together!"
At this moment, Ceres had to let Johny understand that there was nothing romantic between her and Kris. She didn't want Johny to get jealous and hurt Kirs.
"Yes! We are childhood sweethearts!" Kirs hurriedly added.
Ceres wished she could shut Kirs up!
Ceres said that because she didn't want Johny to misunderstand their relationship and hurt Kirs. Yet Kirs' words made all her attempts in vain. She didn't think Johny would let go of him now. "Thank you for taking care of Ceres. I'm going to take her home now. Ceres, let's go," said Johny.
Johny was so calm. Ceres had no idea what he was thinking about.
"Ceres, don't go with him!"
Kirs stepped forward and grabbed Ceres' hand. However, Ceres shook off his hands. "Kris, please go back. I have to go home now."
After that, Ceres stood behind Johny and pushed his wheelchair towards the gate.
Kirs wanted to rush forward and take Ceres away, but a bodyguard knocked him to the ground as soon as he stepped forward.
At that moment, he hated himself for being powerless!
He hated himself for not being able to do anything and could only watch Ceres being taken away!
Ceres and Johny got into the car together. Dead silence shrouded the car. Neither of them spoke.
Ceres was still wearing Kirs' clothes. Johny directly pulled off the clothes and then put his coat on Ceres' shoulder.
He wouldn't allow his woman to wear another man's clothes.
Ceres let him did all that without moving.
Neither of them said a word even after they returned home. When they got to the bedroom, Johny stood up. Ever since he told Ceres this secret, he stopped pretending in their bedroom.
After Johny took a shower, Ceres went into the bathroom. They were still silent.
After taking a shower, Ceres went to bed with her back facing Johny.
Johny reached out and withdrew his hand when he was about to touch her shoulder.
He didn't know what to say or what to do. For the first time, he felt that falling in love with someone was so torturous. Thinking like this, he couldn't help but admire Bill, for he could date many women at the same time.
Johny turned off the lights.
The sound of them breathing was the only sound in the room.
Ceres could not fall asleep. She planned to stay away from Johny during this period, but because of Kirs, she had to face Johny and face this matter.
"My dad is a murderer," Ceres said. She took a deep breath and continued, "Although I think that my father is framed, he was sentenced and imprisoned. If this bothers you, we can break up. We didn't register our marriage anyway."
Hearing Ceres' last words, Johny jerked upright, grabbed Ceres' arms, and held her down.
"Why didn't you say it before? How many times have I told you not to hide anything from me? I have given you so many opportunities! Why didn't you say it before!"
Johny stared fiercely at Ceres.
'She finally said it. And she said about "break up". People said she was with me for her father. Is that true? Now I have found out that and she wants to leave me!' Ceres stared at Johny.
In the dark, they gazed at each other through the moonlight.
Tears suddenly fell down Ceres' face.
Johny's heart immediately softened for her.
"Why? Ceres, why didn't you tell me? Am I not nice to you? Did you hide that from me because you don't trust me?"
"I dare not to say that! I'm afraid you'll dislike me because of my father!" Ceres shouted.
Johny looked at Ceres in shock.
"That day, you asked me why I got into a fight! I didn't want to fight anyone, but Lily's father was also in prison. Her boyfriend and his family members looked down on her for that. His words were so mean! I was too angry then!"
Ceres sobbed. Johny's heart had melted for her.
"I don't dare to say it! Johny! I am afraid! That day when Mike threatened me and asked me to put in a good word for him in front of you, I wanted to tell you, but I dared not to do that.
"I'm really scared. I'm afraid that you will dislike me..."
Johny bent down to hold Ceres in his arms and gently kissed away the tears on her face.
"I don't want to leave you. So I don't dare to take a chance. I have dreamed many times that you abandoned me after I told you that."
Ceres gradually calmed down.
Johny hugged Ceres tightly. His heart hurt for her.
'How scared my little girl is!
She is always a tough girl. Her love for me is so deep that she has kept this in her heart for so long! I brought her so many pains!'
"Johny, I have never been so afraid. Ever since I came to the Imperial City, I have been in the same school as Mary. She has been spreading rumors everywhere that my father is a murderer. Because of that,
no one is willing to have anything to do with me. But I don't care. I believe that my father is innocent. I believe that he will be released from prison and his name will be cleared one day.
"But after being together with you, I am really scared. I fear that you will mind this matter. I fear that you will dislike me because of this."
Ceres said all that with caution.
Johny lifted Ceres's chin and stroked her cheek with his thumb.00☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
