This strength was nothing to Laurence. Ever since he was young, he had suffered much more than
this, but he had never felt as happy as he did now.
Happiness!
He once thought that this word was very far from him that it could only appear in his imagination. He
did not know what it felt like, but now he understood.
The person who brought him happiness was Cara, a tender girl.
She was not as beautiful as Adela, nor was she as powerful as Adela. Sometimes, she was dumb, but
she made him feel comfortable and warm.
Previously, Laurence thought that he loved Adela, but now he could tell that he felt grateful to Adela. It
was not love.
He wanted to get close to Adela, not because he liked her nor he loved her, but because Adela was his
redemption at that time.
Adela was the only light in his gloomy life. Laurence couldn't resist her smile, her thoughtfulness, and
the way she acted domineering, but this was not love.
To be exact, it was a kind of pursuit, a pursuit of light.
The two of them were childhood sweethearts. In fact, Adela was more of a family member to him
because he had never wanted to get more intimate with Adela. Even if Adela seduced and kissed him,
he was calm. He only responded subconsciously.
But Cara was different.
He wanted to get close to Cara, and when he kissed her, he had an impulse to continue, wanting to
make her his. He hadn't had such possessiveness before.
Laurence was enlightened.
Cara felt tired of biting Laurence, but Laurence did not react. She felt she was like a lunatic.
She let go of Laurence and saw Laurence looking at her with a smile. His eyes were so loving that she
was slightly stunned.
"Why are you laughing? Are you dumb?" Cara asked.
Laurence flicked Cara's head with his finger.
"Why did you hit me? What if I become dumb?"
"I will be responsible and marry you."
Laurence smiled, but Cara was stunned.
She couldn't believe what she heard. She took two steps back and looked at Laurence cautiously.
"What's wrong with you?"
Cara couldn't understand why a cold-blooded person suddenly looked at her with loving eyes. It was a
big change. She needed to digest.
When Laurence saw Cara's adorable face, he smiled more happily.
"Do you think everyone can wash my underwear?"
Cara's face immediately turned red.
"Can you drop that?"
"No."
Laurence leaned on Cara's bed. He looked at Cara with his sea-blue eyes. They were distracting.
Cara hurriedly turned her head away.
"Too charming."
As she whispered in her heart, she heard Laurence say, "Cara."
"Yes?"
"I like you."
His words instantly dumbfounded Cara.
Perhaps it was because she felt that her efforts would not be rewarded, or she felt Laurence liked
Adela and would never like her. Thus Cara had never expected to hear Laurence say he liked her.
Now, he even said it in front of her, in a very proud tone. It was too illusory and unreal.
Seeing Cara looking at him dumbfounded, Laurence felt a little nervous.
Samuel said that she had already planned to withdraw her love and planned to like other people. Was
that true?
Or it was too late to tell her. She had already moved on...
Thinking of this possibility, Laurence's face was gloomy.
He stood up and walked towards Cara.
Cara didn't know what was going on, but her subconscious reaction was to turn around and run, but
Laurence grabbed her and pulled her into his embrace.
"I said I like you. Why did you run away?"
He smiled again.
Cara's face was so red that she didn't even dare to raise her head.
"Stop joking. I don't need your pity."
"What pity? What do you need me to pity? Cara, I have nothing. I'm even a monster. I think it should be
you to pity me."
Laurence had never said such things in front of other people, but because the person in front of him
was Cara, he did not feel sad.
He was indeed not a normal human, which he could not deny.
Cara's heart was stabbed.
"Nonsense. You're an excellent person and better than those who look normal. For example, Mrs.
Miller. She looks like a normal human being, but look at the things she has done!"
Laurence belittled himself, but Cara spontaneously defended him.
Laurence smiled more happily.
"So, are you saying you pity me or like me?"
"Of course I like you."
Cara subconsciously answered before she saw the starlight in Laurence's eyes. She couldn't help but
realize something, and her face was red.
"I'm going out."
She was about to escape from Laurence's embrace, but Laurence embraced her even tighter.
"Don't think about escaping. Today, let's get this straight."
"What's more to say? Didn't you already know that I like you? The whole world knows."
Cara said it with some relaxation and sadness.
Laurence had never known what it was like to feel heartache before, but at this moment, he knew.
"Sorry, it won't happen again."
Cara felt that Laurence was different today.
"What happened to you today?"
"I just want to ask you a few questions."
"Sure, but let me go first."
Cara felt such an ambiguous posture hindered her brain from thinking, but Laurence enjoyed it very
much.
Her body was soft and warm in his arms and even carried a familiar fragrance, calming his heart down.
"No. This feels good."
"Laurence!"
Cara was a little shy, but she was too weak.
Laurence smiled and said, "Cara, you know where I come from. Because I'm different, my childhood
was sore and I don't even want to recollect. That's why I never let anyone touch my things. Even Adela
can't touch my underwear. Do you understand?"
Cara was shocked.
Adela was a scar in Laurence's heart. He never said it, nor did he allow other people to say it. But now,
he said it in front of her, which surprised Cara a little.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes. Adela was history. I'm only grateful to her for growing up with me. To be exact, I've never loved
anyone before. I don't know what it feels like to love someone, and I don't know what to do. I'm quite
stupid in this respect. Don't despise me."
Laurence's words stunned Cara.
Despise?
How could she despise him?
However, thinking of how insensitive Laurence was, Cara silently admitted in her heart.
She did despise him a little bit.
However, Cara felt that it was not good to say it out under current circumstances, so, she said, "I don't
despise you."
"Don't you hate that my mind is not on the same channel as yours?"
Laurence seemed to have done it on purpose. Cara was speechless.
"Alright, I despise you."
"Good. You finally tell the truth."
Laurence said as he touched Cara's head.
Cara was depressed.
Why did she feel Laurence was like a father?
Laurence did not know what Cara was thinking. His eyes were a little complicated as he said, "You are
the first person I want to show everything to. I asked you to wash my clothes, buy clothes for me, and
even kiss you. I thought you should know that I like you."
"I thought you were bullying me."
Cara's words stunned Laurence.
Alright, what Samuel and Nicole said was correct. He was wrong.
"Sorry. The reason why I didn't talk to you on the island was that I found that you were tired from
training. I felt it would be better to let you rest so that you could recover. If I had known you weren't
trying to improve your skills, but to accompany me, I wouldn't have done that."
Laurence rarely explained something, but at this moment, he did.
Cara felt warmth in her heart. The grievances she had suffered in the past seemed to be nothing.
She really liked this man too much.
"What would you do if you had known?"
Cara lowered his head and asked.
Laurence pondered as if he was very serious. Cara became nervous immediately.
He may say something that she couldn't bear again.
"Forget it, I didn't ask."
Cara stopped him, only to hear Laurence whisper, "If I had known, perhaps I would have slept with you
on the island."
These words caused Cara to cough ceaselessly.
Laurence patted her back and said, "Why are you so careless? You can even choke on your own
saliva."
Cara really wanted to beat him up.
What did he say?
Did he blame her?
Cara coughed for a while and stopped. She heard Laurence say, "Let's get married."
His words made Cara choke again.
"No."
Her refusal made Laurence frown.
"You like me, I like you. Why don't you marry me?"
"You haven't even pursued me. It has always been me pursuing you. It's such a great loss. I don't want
to marry a man like you. You don't know anything. Besides, there are a lot of rumors that you have
sexual dysfunction. Who knows if you're trying to hide something by asking me to marry you in such a
hurry?"
Cara remembered that she had slept with Laurence all night, but Laurence didn't do anything to her.
Was she not charming enough or did Laurence really have a dysfunction？
She was worried.
Laurence's face was gloomy.
Damn it!
"What did you say about me? Dysfunction, right? Do you want to try it yourself?"
As Laurence spoke, he flipped over and was on top of Cara. Cara was scared by his power and the fire
all over him.
"No. No!"
"Do you want to marry me?"
Laurence threatened her despicably as if he would do something to Cara if she didn't agree.
Cara cried immediately.
She had never seen this kind of proposal.
What kind of man did she like?
She cried.
She regretted it. She didn't want to like him anymore.
