Huh?
What should she say?
How could she explain something like this?
"I..." Lina wanted to say I do, but when she tried to utter those words, they got stuck in her throat. Thoughts of that night when she had wrapped her arms around him flashed through her mind, causing her already blushing cheeks to turn even redder.
"Lina!"
Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, Lina's shyness satisfied him more than any answer could have.
"Mm!"
She was surprisingly obedient. When he called out, she responded earnestly but still avoided looking at him. She yearned to know what was on his mind when he realized that she was the woman from that night!
"I'm asking you if you were willing that night. Were you?"
Mario Jensen didn't let go. He gently lifted her bowed head, his intense gaze meeting hers, his demanding voice echoed, "Answer me, you must!!"
He added, "Just say yes if it's yes and no if it's no. Don't evade or lie!"
"Then answer me first!"
