Don't Be Kind Rashly (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 164

Wiping away the tears falling from Lu’s shocked eyes, Hayden lowered his head.

“I didn’t want to tell you. I thought you’d find it disgusting.”

The scene he’d shown must have been deeply shocking. But he hoped she wouldn’t think of him as a monster. He’d rather she pitied him. He wished she wouldn’t recoil in disgust at the vast age gap—equal to the long years he’d survived here.

“It’s probably because I held on, thinking of you however I pleased, without even your permission.”
