Fortunately, when my little cousin celebrated her birthday, it must have stirred her up a bit, which was why she got so angry, speaking with bitter resentment and a heavy undertone of acidity. This wasn't a good thing. However, it also acted as a catalyst between them. It seemed that occasionally provoking this foolish woman was a good thing after all.
What he was even more thankful for was that she didn't keep stubbornly fixating on the problem. Otherwise, it would have given him an even bigger headache. He had considered the worst-case scenario, which was to bundle her up, drag her home, have his way with her first, and then talk. Even if she hated him for it, it would be less painful than losing her and continuing to deny his own feelings. To have her within arm's reach yet not being able to hold her close was cruel and torturous to him. Having experienced it once, he didn't want to taste it a second time. This time, he intended to hold onto her tightly, by any means necessary.
