The Dark Side Of Fate

Chapter 354

Enough For Both Of Us ~Liam~ Holding Josephine in my arms felt right.

I knew I needed to make a move because there would be no right time.

We had been interrupted three times already.

I doubted anytime would be right enough to show my intentions.

I thought she would push me away or stop me, but when she responded, Alex and I were at peace immediately.

There was hope that it would work out.

Maybe she had feelings too.

Only time will tell, but I chose to savour that moment with her in my arms to assure her that there was nothing between Sophia and me.

As Josephine gracefully left the dining room, she appeared unfazed, yet Alex sensed a hint of unease.

Observing her take the staircase turn instead of heading for the restroom, I knew something was amiss.

I planned to address the Sophia teases with my cousins.

Since it bothered Josephine so much, I could not let them continue.

As I held Josephine’s hand against my chest, I could see the bewilderment in her eyes.

In that moment, words seemed insufficient to convey my emotions.

My heartbeat became the melody, expressing what words couldn’t.

“I’m going to talk to them about stopping the Sophia jokes,” I said, but Josephine shook her head in response.

“No need, Li.

I believe I can handle it,” she replied, avoiding eye contact with me.

Her words surprised me, and I felt a mix of relief and concern.

“Now that I know there isn’t much between you and her, I can handle it,” she continued.

“But what happens when she returns? Despite my feelings, I genuinely wish her well and hope we find her.

What will you do then? You were planning to confess your feelings to her the night she disappeared.

What happened to those feelings, Li? Did they vanish with her, or did you simply bury them?” she asked, taking a step back, her question bearing undeniable validity.

Josephine’s eyes shimmered with fear, clearly bracing herself for whatever I might say.

Yet, I found myself at a loss for words as well.

“Jo,” I started, but she shook her head, urging me to be honest.

“You have to tell me, Li.

What happened to your feelings for her?” she insisted, seeking an answer.
