He Doesn't Want To Hurt Her

"Did you ... hear our conversation?" Friedrich asked in a choked voice.

He really regretted that he had talked about his feelings openly in the apartment like this. He should have been more careful now that Hannah was around. Oh... now how was he supposed to take back what he had said earlier?

However ... his heart felt slightly relieved that Hannah heard his conversation with Charles. Maybe deep down, Friedrich actually wanted her to know what was in his heart.

He didn't want to take this secret to the grave.

Maybe ... deep down ... he really wanted Hannah to know that he did love her.

Since when? He didn't know ... Friedrich didn't know when did he start loving Hannah.

Hannah nodded slowly. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. Earlier, I just felt like I couldn't sleep and wanted to drink water."

Friedrich nodded. He waved his hand and gestured for Hannah to come closer. "Come here. I made quite a lot of chamomile tea."
