44 Let me be the reason for you to keep on living
Seeing her crying loudly, I felt a little guilty as I was the main reason her life took such a drastic turn!
She would have continued to live her life and ended up as David’s first wife if everything went normally.
But if you have to blame, blame the fuckinn transmigration.
I was happy living in my previous world, there was nothing I could not buy with money but now that I have come here and can achieve so much more I must make use of all the opportunities I can muster!
Moreover, deep in my consciousness, I knew I was not guilty as I was saving these girls from hypocrites like David.
I moved a little closer to her and put my right hand behind her back, and slowly started patting her back.
At first, her skin got all tensed up feeling the foreign touch but with slow and gentle movements she finally started relaxing.
Seeing that my actions were not being resisted by her,
I put my other hand too behind her to hold her in a temporary embrace.
There was still a distance between our chests.
I did not want to scare her with the sudden skin contact.
I knew if I embraced her tightly the sudden stimulus would cause an unexpected impact.
Thus, I made sure to give her a room in case she wanted to break free immediately.
Unlike those fake and cowardly male leads, I have read about in shounen comics and novels in my last life who only saw girls crying in front of them and dare not to embrace them,
I had long decided that I won’t be dense like them.
We are not playing some game here where you can expect the girl to keep on waiting for you!
I had long-read dark stories about how girls who were emotionally broken after being left hanging or rejected by the protagonists became unstable and were easily manipulated by the scums and lowlifes of the society who took advantage of their situation to force themselves upon those poor girls and make them their sex slaves or some mindless dolls.
Plus, this Jasmine was a type 2 yandere, Who knew what she would do if left unchecked?
Therefore, I had to step in and lend my shoulder.
Moreover, how can I miss the golden opportunity to lend shoulders? I have seen many female readers commenting in last life that- Why was the male lead not embracing and comforting the girl? How can he watch her cry?…
I won’t make this mistake!
I knew she needed someone to support her else she would completely lose it.
I had already recorded all the talks we had earlier to show them directly to Aushima when she comes back tomorrow.
I knew once she witnessed Jasmine’s real side which she hides behind the fake cover of the cold face that she has built up over the years….. .venting out all her emotions… she would realise that just like her even Jasmine was a victim who was trapped by David to achieve his goal to build strong family connections.
And as a result, most of their grudges would automatically smooth out.
I ascended my left hand a little which was patting behind her back to gently stroke her fine hairs.
Like before she shuddered, but her mind which had just burst out all her emotions at once was still exhausted to resist my actions.
Her breathing started to calm down.
Seeing the things progressing in a positive direction I used my other hand to slowly wipe off her tears.
I slowly caressed her cheeks with my fingers as I used my thumb to clear her eyelashes.
I slowly moved my head towards her as I whispered in her ears.
“Since I was the one who was responsible for destroying the future that you had planned since childhood then….”
“Let me be the one!”
“Let me be the one to take the responsibility!”
“Since you said that you no longer have a reason to live.”
“Then let me become the reason for you to keep living!”
“I promise that I won’t leave you!”
“I will hug you, kiss you, take you to new places you have never imagined, and make sure that your taste buds are satiated with the most tasty foods across various worlds…but most of all I promise that I will cherish you!”
Her eyes rounded up hearing my words, there was a strange glint in her eyes.
A part of her wanted to accept my proposal right away but the remaining hesitating part was still dominant to not let the sudden change in emotions sway her.
I knew to pursue her and make her realise that I was serious, I needed to increase the impact.
“Just trust me this once, you won’t regret this decision!”
I ignored her flabbergasted expression and pushed my lips to give her a small peck on the lips.
Bang- !
It was like various fireworks suddenly exploding in her little mind.
Her eyes widened as her eyebrows arched up feeling the sudden touch and warmth on her lips.
The explosion that happened inside her mind because of the impact was enough to jolt her awake from her tired state.
She quickly pushed me and broke free from the embrace.
She used her tender-fleshy fingers to touch her lips.
As she slowly inhaled my scent left on her lips she realised that the kiss she cherished and kept for her future husband was taken away.. just like that!
“W..why?”
“Wh-Whyy did you that?”
She looked at me with her resentful eyes.
Like a cat whose tail has been stepped up she quickly increased the distance between us.
I supported my chin with the palm of my right hands as I chuckled at her cute reaction.
“Didn’t I say that clearly in your ears?”
“That I’m going to take responsibility?”
“I can repeat it if you wanna hear it again.”
She was dumbfounded and looked blankly at me.
“You are really shameless!”
“Shameless!” “Shameless!” … “Way too shameless!”
