Kai Piers paused before he said to Lilian Meurer, "Would you...be willing to be by my side? Accompany me when dealing with my parents, join me for meals, be with me, like a friend yet more than a friend, a closer relationship?"
Lilian Meurer looked at him.
Kai Piers seemed somewhat nervous, his brows furrowing and relaxing repetitively, "We are both free, but we... are together. Lilian, do you understand what I mean?"
Lilian Meurer blinked, "Finish what you want to say, Kai Piers."
"I know it sounds bastardly and scummy for me to say this... but these words, all these words, are my true feelings. No concealment, no sugar-coating with sweet words. What I mean is just what I've said."
As Kai Piers spoke, he added another sentence: "Not too difficult to understand, right?"
"I understand."
"So... are you willing?"
Lilian Meurer fell silent.
She was quickly racking her brains.
She understood very well what Kai Piers meant. He truly saw her as a replacement for Aurora Dupont.
