Chapter 317 Did it matter?

Kai didn't plan to show up in this place. He was sent by Zeke to make sure that Kelly and Chris didn't create any trouble before they went back home. He was also warned by Zeke to make sure that Kelly did not do anything outrageous for her own sake. That was why Kai was there. At the same bar. Watching them.

He had been following them for a while now until they ended up in a bar. Kai was too engrossed at listening to her rants that he subconsciously turned to look at her because he became worried that the girl would actually go and try to beat someone up. He knew that Kelly was a strong girl and definitely a well-trained fighter but she was still only a human and she wouldn't be able to beat just any random man in this place, except for the human guy who was with her. And that was why it was too late for him to hide when she suddenly turned towards his direction.

Their eyes met and Kai didn't know why but he held his breath. He had been there the whole time and he heard it when she said that she didn't even have the chance to say those words. His heart skipped a beat when he had heard her say that. He didn't know that she had felt that way towards him. He thought her feelings towards him weren't to that extent.

With their eyes still locked on each other, Kelly began to move. She didn't release him from her gaze. Kai's grip subconsciously tightened at the edge of the table. It was not because he was afraid to be beaten up. He didn't mind being beaten up by her. It didn't hurt him anyway. But he was afraid of what could happen between them afterwards. He had already decided to let her go so she could go back to her usual life and live the normal, carefree life she had been living before he came into her life. He didn't want to put her life in danger any more than he already had. But then, here she was, approaching him again. He thought she would never come after him again. He thought she would just go home and forget about him.

She stopped in front of him, slammed her hands on the table as she leaned closer to his face. She was close enough to smell her breath and he let out a quiet sigh of relief. Thank goodness the bartenders didn't forget to give them drinks for humans.

"Why are you here?" she asked, not beating around the bush.

Kai found himself spacing out for a moment. "I came to make sure that both of you got home safely," he answered, meeting her intense gaze.

"Oh. So I'm under surveillance now? Are you going to keep following me until I reach home?"

"No." He looked down. "Just until you board the plane," he added, as honest as ever.

Kelly's gaze deepened. She suddenly felt like laughing. If this was someone else, Kelly would have never approached him. What she usually would do if she saw the man that rejected her in the same bar was to approach and grab another guy and dance with him to show the guy that rejected her that she didn't care. But why could she not do the same to this damn prince. Why did she approach him in an instant upon spotting him?

It seemed she was truly smitten. Innocent looking people, like her Abi, seemed to be really dangerous for her. She just couldn't resist them. She realized she was smitten by this beautiful creature. Why couldn't she have him? That damn icy devil Alexander Qin managed to marry her innocent Abi so why couldn't she also have this little cutie pie before her? This just wasn't fair! She finally fell in love for the first time and it had to be to someone she couldn't be with. Why was fate so cruel?

For the first time, she felt beaten but she also wanted to hold on and not let go. And because of that, Kelly felt a boldness that she had never felt before – the boldness that a young woman in love possessed, where nothing scared her.

"Your flight is to –"

Before he could even finish his statement, he swallowed his words and looked at her in disbelief. The girl suddenly lifted her long legs and sat on his lap, straddling him as she faced him. She then wrapped her arms around his neck, gazing at him intensely.

Next, she took his hand and pressed it against her chest, to make him feel her heartbeat, the heart that beat for him only.

"I love you," she confessed, as straightforward as ever. She had said that she had regretted not being able to tell him how she felt about him and now that he was here, she took the first opportunity to confess her feelings for him.

Kai opened his lips and closed them again. He was lost for words. He didn't know what to say. He felt like his brain was shutting down.

He didn't know how to feel at that moment. Her words made him question his own feelings towards her. Did he feel the same?

Their interactions with each other had always been her making a move towards him. He thought it was just a game for her, a game of cat and mouse. He thought that she was just doing it for entertainment. That all changed last night when they had… well, become more intimate. That was the turning point in Kai's eyes. That was when he realised that his feelings for her may be deeper than he thought. His admiration for her somehow turned into something more, something deeper than that. He liked her in the way a man liked a woman. He did have feelings for her. But was it love? Even if it was, did it matter?

He knew that it was impossible for them. He already told her that, already explained it to her so why… Why was she doing this now?
