CHAPTER 25: Because I Pamper You

  Hearing his words, I clamped my mouth shut.  

  Lucas found my reaction amusing and chuckled softly.  

  "Why me?" I mustered the courage to meet his gaze, wanting to hear the truth.  

  His playful expression faded, replaced by a serious demeanor. "You want the truth?"  

  I nodded.  

  "Because you're simple."  

  "Simple?"  

  Lucas sat on the edge of the bed, tilting his head slightly as he spoke.  

  "Yes, you're a straightforward person. Unlike other women who have endless schemes and complicated thoughts, being around you feels light and easy. That's why I want to marry you—it's about you as a person, nothing else."  

  His voice was calm and deliberate, and his message was crystal clear. Yet, my heart felt a quiet pang of disappointment.  

  It's rare for someone to analyze feelings with such detached logic. Overly rational people in relationships can be a little frightening.
