Stealing Your Heart

Having been here for a few days, her understanding of Tawan’s personality grew. Despite coming off as aloof, he was an idealist. His dream was to seek the perfect significant other and lead a blissful marriage, much like the one his parents have.

Before meeting someone he loves dearly, he wouldn’t settle for just anyone.

Not only that, but he was also a good-natured man. Even though he wouldn’t say anything about it, his innate kindness was very much evident through concrete actions.

When he wasn’t donning his uniform, he gave off a chivalrous impression.

At that moment, as he was nervously struggling to find the right words to say, he looked utterly adorable.

“I overheard your conversation with Sorn earlier when I walked in.” Tawan finally uttered after a long moment of silence.

Upon hearing his words, Zong Yanxi was confounded. She surveyed his face with a baffled expression. What was he trying to say?

“Do you love your ex-husband deeply? To the point that you’re unable to forget him?” Tawan asked.

It sounded like an innocent question, but it seemed like Tawan was trying to test the waters.

Zong Yanxi was quiet for a brief moment, still trying to comprehend why he was curious about that. It must be because of her response to Sorn’s words.

“Nope. I don’t love him.” Her tone was firm. Any love she once had for him all went up in smoke when he brought up divorce. “The only reason why I told Sorn that he was still in my heart was because I didn’t want her pushing the both of us together.”

Tawan could hardly contain his happiness when Zong Yanxi said she didn’t love her ex-husband anymore. But it was short-lived, as the second half of her explanation left him despondent. “Does her nudging us together bother you?” Tawan probed.

“No, that’s not it,” Zong Yanxi hurriedly said. She was well aware that Tawan was a kind-hearted man.

He was pure at heart, with practically zilch experience in the dating scene. On the other hand, she was a divorcee. In the aspect of relationships, they were like chalk and cheese.

In her conversation with Sorn, she mentioned that they weren’t suitable for each other, simply because her status as a divorcee was not appropriate for Tawan.

It would make her feel as though she marred the purity that Tawan had.
