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.
