His Domineering Lover

She smiled as if she had secretly eaten something sweet. She took her time tasting this sweet kiss.

Suddenly, she saw Steve's eyelashes tremble slightly, and she knew she would arise his doubts if she backed away now so she simply closed her eyes.

Steve felt something soft on his lips and when he woke up, Thirza's pure and innocent face jumped into his sight.

His pupils dilated little by little, and he went almost out of his mind when he realized he was kissing Thirza.

How could this happen? How could he do such an immoral thing to Thirza when he didn't even know it?

He quickly moved his body and took a careful look at Thirza who hadn't woken up. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He quickly got out of bed and went to the bathroom. Looking at himself in the mirror, there was only panic on his face.

Steve didn't dare to imagine that he had done such a thing. No, he couldn't stay with Thirza anymore. Although it was an unconscious action, it was beyond anything acceptable between the two of them.

He touched his lips. There seemed to be the warmth of her lips. They were so soft.

Thirza looked at the tightly shut bathroom door. As expected, Steve ran away.

It seemed the right choice not to tell him her feelings.

At Thirza's age, she already understood a lot of things. The longer Steve and herself stayed together, the more difficult it was for him to break free from the chains that bound them.

In fact, she enjoyed this way of getting along very much. As long as Steve continued to pamper her, they could still live as they always had.

Evalyn's face, however, emerged in Thirza's mind at the moment, the one who's most possible to sabotage their relationship.

"Steve..." Thirza suddenly burst into tears.

Steve rushed out of the door and ran to Thirza without any hesitation.

"Thirza, what's wrong?"

"I had a nightmare. When I woke up, I found that you were missing. Steve, please don't leave me, okay?"

Thirza clung to Steve's waist tightly. If it were before, Steve would say whatever she wanted to hear at the moment. But this time, he didn't." "Thirza, you're 12 this year, aren't you?"

"Yes, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"You mother and I have discussed this. You should be sent to a boarding school by now."

Steve was very worried that he would really do something to her if she continued to stay with him. The best way was to be separated from her.

"Although this way, I'll have to bear the pain of losing Thirza, but at least nothing like this will ever happen again."

Thirza didn't expect that what she had done would make Steve give up on her, which was not her original intention. "Why? I just want to be with you."

"Because you have grown up, and it's time for her to be on your own." Steve made an excuse.

"I can also be independent when I'm with Steve. Recently, I've started learning how to cook. Steve, please don't drive me away, okay?"

She acted like a spoiled child in Steve's arms. If it were before, Steve would have agreed.

"I don't want you to leave. I just want you to be better."

"Steve, why are you doing this? I don't believe that you want me to leave because you want me to be independent. You said you would always protect me."

Steve did not want Thirza to leave, but what could he do? If she continued to stay with him, things were very likely to get out of control.

Steve rubbed her head and said, "Thirza, I will protect you forever. Even if you are sent to a boarding school, we can see each other on holidays." "Besides, anything you need anything, I'll be there before you know it. It's not like we won't see each other forever."

"No, I don't want it."

"Thirza..."

"I want to see you every day, see your face every day, and eat the dishes you cook."

Steve knew that Thirza had been clinging to him ever since she was born but he didn't know things would've come to this step.

He decided to use his ultimate move. "Thirza, in fact, I let you leave for my own sake."

Thirza looked at him puzzledly. "Why?"

"I have been alone for all these years and that's because I have always had to take care of you.

Now that you are a big girl already, it's time for me to seek my own happiness."

Thirza's pupils dilated. "Steve, do you mean..."

"I need to be in love and marry the one that I love."

"So I'm in your way of finding your love?

a siccause you are here with me,

a sick Silly girl, while you could've beer with someone at the hot spring?"

"Right, it must have been too hard on you. In your heart, I'm nothing but an insensible naughty girl."

"For you, I am just a burden. I am neither gentle nor kind, and I will not treat you like those women." "No, it's not like that."

"Then what is it like?"Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

"You are not a burden. You will always be the most important thing in my heart." Steve said word by word.

"Then don't drive me away. I don't want to leave you at all!" Thirza cried out.

Steve really wanted to agree, but when he thought of the kiss in the morning, he said firmly, "Thirza, don't you like your friends at school very much Go to the boarding school and you will get to spend all your time with them."

Thirza was furious. She lifted the blanket and said, "You want me to leave? Alright, I'll leave! Don't

regret it!"

She ran out barefoot. Steve wanted to grab her, but she broke away. "Thirza!"

Steve rushed out of the door and saw that the elevator had gone down. He quickly took the next elevator to chase after Thirza. Hiding in the stairwell, Thirza held her legs, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Idiot. Idiot Steve!"

"You brought me up, but now you want to push me away yourself."

She was glad that she hadn't confessed her feelings to Steve. Otherwise, she didn't know what the result would be once she did. Steve rushed out of the downstairs and did not see Thirza. The rain started to drop down outside, seemingly turning into a storm very soon. She was wearing a nightgown and not even a pair of shoes. For the first time, Steve's heart was filled with dread.

He knew that Thirza was smart and would definitely not get into trouble, but he was very worried.

He drove all the way to the Xia family, hoping to find her there but to no avail.

"Thirza? She hasn't been here. Isn't she supposed to be at your place?"

"Surely, I will. She has always been a stubborn child. I will talk to Tracey about letting her stay with me. She's taking too much of your time."

"It's alright. I'm already used to taking care of her. Excuse me, then."
