Ashton spun Phoenix around to make her look at him.
"Phoenix, do you think that you having children will stop me from chasing you?" Ashton asked, looking directly into Phoenix's light brown orbs.
His one hand held Phoenix's waist, while the other hand caressed her cheek tenderly.
"No. I won't stop chasing you, Phoenix," Ashton gaze was penetrating into Phoenix's soul.
Phoenix averted her gaze downwards, away from Ashton's eyes. "I have kids, Mr Qin. You deserve someone better. Someone who doesn't have baggage with her," Phoenix said.
"Don't say that! Your kids are not some baggage, Phoenix. They are your treasures. They are a part of you. Also… I don't want anyone else. I want you. Only you."
Phoenix still had her head facing downwards. She closed her eyes hearing Ashton say all of that. She was battling with herself. She wants him too, but was it okay to be with him like this?
