Chapitre 282: This Is Really Unfair

Leland was at a loss for words. He was over the moon by her statement. Surely Sophie wouldn't lie to him, would she? He pulled her to his embrace.

Leland peppered her face with kisses and finally, he planted a long and passionate kiss on her lips.  Even though his wounds were so painful when her face and body touched his, Leland didn't even feel it. Happiness numbed him from pain.

"I will always choose you, but..." Sophie spoke in a hoarse voice after Leland finally ended their kiss. "You will break my heart if you killed him. Nicholas is still the father of Luciel and Jan. I cannot live with myself if I let you both kill each other and I only stand on the sideline and watch."

Sophie moved back and cupped her face with both hands, sobbing so despondently. Leland was unmoved in his place.

Damnit.  He shouldn't have rejoiced so quickly.
