I'll finish what you started!

While walking down the corridor towards the auditorium where the graduation results were to be announced, Aelia had a warm smile on her face.

Even though she had known Asher for only two days, Aelia still believed him when Asher said that she would always be his first priority.

The reason behind her faith in Asher's words was not because she was naive, but because her intuitions, which had never failed in detecting the true nature of someone, told her that Asher indeed meant what he said.

She had now also begun to place more faith in her intuitions after coming to know that her intuitions might be a result of her not fully awakened powers as an Empath.

But what confused Aelia the most was how had Asher come to love her so deeply in just a few days!

Aelia peeked a curious glance at the man walking beside her and mused, 'No, it's definitely not a result of love at first sight! We may have met earlier! But when? I'd definitely not forget my meeting with a person like the Crown Prince of Delphia!'

Seeing his Angel stealing occasional glances at him, Asher looked at her with a mischievous smirk.

"Angel, it's alright if you want to have a good look at my handsome face! You don't need to hide it from me. I'm giving you absolute free permission to look or even touch me whenever and wherever you want!"

Aelia was already embarrassed at getting caught peeking at him. After hearing Asher's shameless words, her face flushed bright red and even the tips of her ears felt as if they were dipped in boiling water.

Aelia turned her head away from Asher with a frustrated 'hmph!'

Suddenly, she thought of a bright plan to tease him back.

She thought, 'Why must I be the only one to be teased by him so relentlessly! Now it's my chance!'

Asher looked to see his Angel boldly gazing at him with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

Asher raised his brows in question and expectantly waited to see what his Angel was planning to do next.

Aelia stopped Asher and leaned close to his face. She caressed his cheeks and said in a curious tone, "Really? You'll let me touch you whenever and wherever I want?"

Asher stood dumbfounded at his Angel's sudden provocation. As her soft fingers kept stroking his cheeks and chin, Asher felt his barely restrained self-control stretch to the maximum extent.

Aelia, on the other hand, felt extremely pleased to see Asher standing still in surprise. She had no idea that the tables were about to be turned again as Asher's self-control was ready to snap.

Finally, Asher could not bear it any longer and tugged Aelia by her waist.

Being suddenly tugged by her waist, Aelia was crushed into Asher's chest.

Her eyes grew round in surprise. As she felt Asher's hard muscles crushing her soft body in a tight embrace, Aelia finally realized that she might have strained Asher's self-control.

As Aelia wept bitterly with unshed tears, she felt her body grow warmer as Asher nuzzle her neck with his nose.

Asher slowly traced his lips from her neck to the corner of her lips.

Aelia could feel her heart beating erratically as she anticipated the moment when his lips would finally press against her lips.

Asher was surprised to see that his Angel did not intend to stop him from fully kissing her.

As he pressed his lips to the corner of her sweet mouth, Asher debated for a second whether he should just forget about his initial decision of making his Angel confess her feelings before kissing her.

When Aelia saw that Asher was still hesitating, she did not know from where she mustered up the courage to clutch the front of Asher's shirt and press her lips against his.

Asher was yet again surprised by the audacious actions of his Angel. As he felt her soft warm lips pressing against his, Asher felt the remaining bit of his self-restraint completely burnt into ash.

He clutched Aelia's waist in a tight grasp and pressed her against the nearby wall.

Just as Asher was about to devour her lips, they heard a loud thud from nearby.

Aelia, who was seduced into a daze by Asher, turned around her head towards the source of the sound.

She was surprised to see one of her seniors standing there and looking at them with a shocked expression on his face. A stack of papers was randomly scattered around his feet.

Aelia felt extremely embarrassed to be caught in such a compromising position by her senior. She tried to push away from Asher's embrace, but felt his hands tighten in response.

Aelia gave a pleading look at Asher to release her.

Though Asher felt extremely irritated on being interrupted during such an important task, seeing the pleading look on his Angel's already flushed face, he could only sigh in defeat.

Asher inched his mouth close to her ears and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll definitely finish what you started!"

Aelia's cheeks burnt with a crimson tint after hearing Asher's words.

Seeing the enticing blush on his Angel's face, though Asher felt extremely reluctant to release her from his embrace, he still did so, as he could feel another fly buzzing around his Angel.

As Asher did not want his Angel's adorable yet stirring expressions to be seen by anyone else, after releasing Aelia from his arms, he coldly glared at the young man still standing there in shock.

When Javen, Aelia's senior had seen his junior who had always stayed away from any kind of romantic relationship with the opposite gender, pressed against the wall by a man, he had doubted whether his eyes were seeing things wrongly.

He could have still gotten over his initial shock, but as soon as it became clear that it was indeed his junior Aelia who was being pressed against the wall, Javen could feel his heart breaking into a million pieces.

This was because he had diligently pursued this junior for more than a year. However, Aelia had remained completely oblivious to his pursuits.

Javen had finally come at his wit's end and decided that he would patiently remain by her side and let her depend on him from everything. He was sure that Aelia's feelings would slowly develop for him from dependence to love.

However, the scene he witnessed just now was a direct blow to his hope.

When Aelia saw her senior still standing there in a daze, she frowned and approached him.

"Brother Javen!"

Hearing his name, Javen finally broke away from his daze.

He quickly recollected his thoughts and warmly gazed at Aelia.

"Congratulations, Aelia!"

Aelia gave a small smile and replied, "But I haven't even received my result yet, senior!"

Javen chuckled and was about to pat her head, when he felt a piercing cold gaze on him.

Javen awkwardly lowered his already raised hand and cleared his throat. He could still feel the cold gaze from the man who was accompanying Aelia.

Javen felt a chill running down his spine and awkwardly replied, "A-anyway, you'd obviously get the highest marks again in your undergraduate course. Besides, the congratulations were also because of you receiving your doctoral degree today."

Aelia smiled at his senior's reply.

When she saw him glancing at Asher, she quickly made the introductions.

"Asher, this is my senior brother from the research unit, Javen Nowak. Brother Javen, this is my fiancé, Asher!"

Aelia deliberately did not mention Asher's full name to avoid drawing too much attention to their presence.

Though Javen did not get to know Asher's full name, just from his prominent presence and the elegant air around him, Javen knew that he was from no ordinary family.

Besides, what caught his attention the most was the mention of Asher as her fiancé. With this, the little bit of hope he had left, was completely crushed into dust.
