194 Romantic in the Snow (Second Update)

Gem Atkinson looked down at her, his dark eyes like a lake shrouded in thick fog.

"Gem Atkinson."

"Whether you know this identity or not does not affect our feelings for each other."

"But..."

"Viola, I'm a soldier."

A soldier?

Hadn't he already retired?

Forsythia Brown pursed her lips.

Gem Atkinson lay down, pecked her lips gently, and said, "Sleep. I'll take care of everything. Don't worry."

She was also half a soldier.

A soldier had their duties.

Soldiers obey orders as their bounden duty.

The fact that he told her he was a soldier was already very good.

Asking further would be a big offense.

She could avoid making things difficult for him by not insisting on knowing his specific identity, but...

"Gem Atkinson, do you plan to shut me out again?'
