Chapter 112: (;｀O??)o (Monthly Ticket Bonus Chapter)
Living alone might be very lonely...
Looking at myself now, then thinking about what Fang Yuxuan might have faced back then.
Perhaps this was an ending that was similar, yet somehow different.
In the end, there were some things you couldn't tell your friends, your brothers, or your children—but could tell your lover. And I could only bury those words deep in my heart until the day I died...
Loneliness was frightening. Even more frightening was knowing you were lonely, yet having no choice but to walk further into it. From not understanding loneliness at first, to being so lonely in the end that you couldn't put it into words—that kind of anguish was something those who hadn't experienced it could never understand.
Looking at the wild wolf before me, I knew what he was thinking. At least, I could tell from his words and actions, and from what he'd just done, what he wanted.
If I were an ordinary woman, perhaps I really would have been moved.
After all, he'd come alone to rescue me, not knowing how many enemies there were or how strong they were... In short, his sincerity was rare.
But unfortunately, I couldn't return his feelings, so... it would be better to put an end to this hope as soon as possible.
"If... I didn't want to keep this distance between us, what would you do?"
The wild wolf looked at me expressionlessly, his eyes holding a complicated emotion that was impossible to describe.
"If that happened... I would leave the mercenaries and find an ordinary job... and live on."
"Is that so..."
The wild wolf fell silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Then you should quit as soon as possible..."
I froze. What... what was he doing?
