Chapter 54: Longing for Light in the Darkness
Since ancient times, women have been the weaker party in love, even if they have someone they like, they are basically buried deep in their hearts, and then cautiously tempted, coupled with tireless hints, even the elm head will slowly wake up under this gentle offensive.
But it would be a big mistake to treat Estes as an ordinary woman.
This woman can't be measured by common sense, and when she meets someone she likes, she won't have the slightest cowardice.
She'll just grab the other person's collar and say loudly that I appreciate you, be my lackey! Then, regardless of whether the other party wants to or not, drag it away.
It's as simple as five seconds, and it does it all – it's that domineering!
However, there is a necessary premise for this approach, which is that it is based on the ability to completely dominate the other party.
But as it stands, this premise is clearly untenable.
"I'm not interested in playing any love games with you, if that's all you want to say, then please come back."
Javier's tone was cold, but given the position between the two, it was a natural response.
The plan to defeat the Minister was well underway, and it had reached a critical stage, and he didn't want to get caught up at such a time. Whether Estes's statement was serious or on a whim, he had to distance himself from it.
Is that your answer? It's a shame......"
Estes sighed as if regretfully, and then let go of his grip on Javier's collar.
Just when Javier thought she was about to give up, the woman suddenly reached into the pocket of her military coat, and then took out a black collar from it, and a slender chain was attached to the end of the collar.
"In that case, the only way to do this is to put a collar on you first, and then find a way to slowly correct your thoughts."
With dangerous words in his mouth, Estes pulled the clasp of his collar and then looked at Javier's neck, what he was going to do was self-evident.
This woman is coming for real!?
Javier's expression changed, and the hairs on his body instantly rose, and at this moment, he deeply felt what it was like to be cocooned.
People in the world often say that if you don't die, you won't die, and it's really a wise saying!
Without waiting for Estes to make any further moves, Javier grabbed her wrist, then stared into her eyes and said coldly, "Even if it's a joke, give me a little moderation!" ”
Estes stared at him without showing weakness, but a faint smile filled the depths of his pupils.
Put a collar around Javier's neck? She didn't have this kind of thought, but she also knew very well in her heart that it was not realistic, he was not a man who would be at his mercy.
A person with extremely high self-esteem like Javier has a so-called bottom line, and if she really dares to reach out and touch it, I'm afraid this man will immediately turn his face...... Oh, it seems that the other party didn't give himself a good look from the beginning.
As for the meaning of taking out the collar, in addition to a little bad taste of Estes, it is more to show his determination - even if he will do whatever it takes to get his determination.
However, recalling the frightened expression on Javier's face just now, she felt funny, this was a small punishment for daring to refuse herself.
"It's obviously your own suggestion, and now you plan to go back on it? Men who don't talk can be hated. Estes looked defiant.
"Less nonsense, I don't have such a perverted interest in being domesticated."
"That's a pity, but then again......" Estes looked at his firmly clasped wrist, "aren't you going to let go?" I don't mind staying that way, though. ”
Javier snorted and let go of Estes, who gently rubbed his reddened wrist and stepped back, muttering something like "what a rough man", and heard Javier secretly clench his fists, and the corners of his forehead were bruised.
He was really not good at dealing with Estes, whether it was in the past or now, he had no way to deal with this woman.
Maybe she's grown a lot, but Estes has obviously changed a lot in the past five years, and at least she's become more tricky than before, it's for sure.
“…… Say, what do you have to do to give up this boring thought? ”
Although he was mentally prepared to be in trouble, Xavier still made a final attempt.
"I don't have any reason to give up, you should be the one who should give up...... Don't resist meaninglessly, just be honest and be my lover? ”
"I refuse." Javier replied in seconds.
"Well, I knew you would say that...... But don't worry, this is just the beginning, and one day I'll make you mine! ”
Speaking aloud like a declaration, Estes clasped her hands to her chest and her eyebrows lit up, as if the result had been predestined from the moment she said it.
Ever since he met Javier five years ago, Estes had unconsciously become interested in him as a teenager, and as he continued to get in touch, this feeling eventually turned into a throbbing from the depths of his soul.
Because of his young age, Estes didn't know how to deal with this inexplicable emotion, but just followed his instincts in confusion and maintained a complex relationship with Javier.
As a teenager, Javier was a pure military man who had a strong faith and was able to give everything for it.
His presence was like a bright light, straightforward and positive, and no difficulty seemed to dampen the hope in his eyes.
And in the eyes of others, just looking at him silently can get great strength and courage from it.
Estes was attracted by Javier's strange specialty, and then, like a moth, he did not hesitate to pounce on the only source of light in the darkness.
Isn't it often said that the more people are in the dark, the more they yearn for the light in their hearts.
For Estes, Javier was undoubtedly a shining light in her life.
This emotion precipitated over time for five years, and then became as mellow and intoxicating as fine wine.
When they met again, Javier had undoubtedly changed dramatically, but Estes could feel that the light was still in his heart, hotter than the flames, brighter than the sun.
There was nothing to hesitate about, now that Estes had confirmed her intentions, she would never let go as easily as she did five years ago.
I want to see his smile again, I want to get his heart, I want to dominate everything about him.
At this moment, her mind was filled with such thoughts, which in turn prompted her to act.
"Self-talker, I don't know where you got that confidence...... Whatever you want. ”
Javier knew that it was unrealistic to reason with this woman, so he didn't bother to talk anymore, anyway, love is a matter of two people, as long as he doesn't accept the offer here, then Estes will die sooner or later...... Probably.
"Hehe, it seems that you have come to your senses, and I will look forward to the next few days."
Seeing the excited expression on Estes' face, Javier suddenly regretted his rash decision just now, wouldn't it be better if he had a more resolute attitude?
No, maybe that will make the other party more challenged......
Tsk, what a troublesome woman!
"So that's it for today, I'll be back."
With that, Estes waved his hand and walked straight to the door.
Just as she opened the door and was about to leave, Javier suddenly spoke: "Estes." ”
Estes turned his head with a teasing smile on his face, "What, you want to keep me for the night?" Okay, no problem, as long as it's your request, I'll say yes. ”
"Don't put your boring delusions into reality, I'm going to say something else."
"Cut, it's boring."
Selectively ignoring Estes' disgruntled look, Javier looked at her with a serious face.
"You should understand, there will be a battle between me and the minister, and the false calm of the imperial capital will not last long."
"Of course I understand the obvious." Estes scoffed, "But so what? ”
"Don't pretend to be confused! Estes, you know what I mean. Javier looked at her deeply with a fierce look in his eyes, "The empire is in turmoil right now, and there are countless potential enemies, and if possible, I don't want to lose reliable support because of the civil war. ”
"Thank you for your advice, but I always act according to my own will, and I will judge for myself what to do."
She chuckled and stepped on the door, her ice-blue back fading away, quite a bit free and proud.
As Estes left, Javier's jewel-like purple pupils flickered slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking.
