Chapter 36 - Voice

'Because I like you,' 

I tried my best to keep my hands steady as I moved my hand to say that. I looked at his reaction change as he read what my hands had just done. His expression was a mix of surprise and confusion. He then looked at me in the eyes as if he couldn't believe what I had just said.

But he didn't say a thing. I know it would also be hard to say something after receiving those words. Especially from someone like me who just came here and we never really had a special interaction, Just like what I believe people who like each other would have had before a confession.

But I am desperate to make this work.

Even despite that I had just come here and was not obligated to do something like this for them, something in me just wouldn't let me go without doing something.

Even if I have to pretend to have this kind of feeling for him.

And even if I have to marry him for real.

I would if it makes more people happy.
