Bella's POV:
I didn't expect that Klein would confess to me so directly.
I thought this man only wanted to flirt with me because he had many romantic encounters when he was dating Vivian.
Be it a fling or a serious relationship, I was not interested in either of them now. I couldn't give him any emotional response at all.
I reached out and pulled his hand from my arm. "Klein, I can take care of myself. I don't need anyone to take care of me."
The look on Klein's face was rather awkward. After all, he was a proud person. I could understand his feeling.
Klein was silent for a moment, then continued, "Perhaps you still need some time to heal. It's fine. I can wait for you."
I sighed and said, "You don't have to wait for me. I can't fall in love with you, let alone be with you."
"Why? Because I'm Herbert's younger cousin? This isn't fair to me." Klein shouted at me.
