Noble Marriage-Chapter 1066: I’ve Waited a Long Time
"How reliable is your vow?" Annie asked softly.
Tao Hua’s deep eyes stared at her, and he spoke in a low, husky voice, "Then how much do you trust me?"
Annie didn’t ask anything further.
Tao Hua wasn’t exactly a good person, but he was definitely a true man.
He wouldn’t speak carelessly, and if he made a promise, it meant he was serious, and no one could change that.
So, his vow must also be true.
Annie couldn’t quite describe what she was feeling inside—joy, excitement, and a subtle sense of insecurity.
Is this what it’s like to fall in love with someone?
"Hey, I’ve already spoken my mind, now it’s your turn." Tao Hua cupped her face, looking into her eyes.
Annie suddenly leaned in and kissed his lips but said nothing.
Tao Hua was slightly startled, seeing her smiling, her eyes filled with laughter, like they were full of brilliant stars, intensely bright.
"You..."
"I think I expressed it very clearly." She kissed his lips again.
Tao Hua’s eyes suddenly turned incredibly dark, and he kissed her fiercely, using all his strength, making Annie dizzy and breathless.
After a long while, he finally released her, almost suffocating, his black eyes like a deep sea.
His fingers slid to her collarbone, then downward, unbuttoning her first button, then the second...
Annie blushed deeply. Despite her usual open-mindedness and free-wheeling actions, at her core, she was a very conservative and shy person.
"What... are you doing?" she asked, holding his hand, embarrassed and annoyed.
Tao Hua chuckled softly, his voice hoarse, "You’re very brave, do you know that your recent actions can lead to serious consequences?"
Annie’s face reddened even more. She certainly knew what he meant.
It’s just...
"Isn’t it too fast..." After all, the two of them had just clarified their feelings for each other.
"Not fast at all, I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time." Tao Hua almost murmured.
He gently kissed her lips, carefully holding her in his arms, as if cradling the most precious treasure in the world.
In that moment, a warm, intense, yet peaceful emotion filled Annie’s heart.
Having wandered her whole life, she seemed to have found a harbor where she could rely on and stay.
"Tao Hua..." She reached out to embrace Tao Hua’s body, for the first time, calling his name so seriously and naturally, as if this name had been on her heart a thousand times over.
Tao Hua’s ink-like eyes stared at her, saying nothing.
Annie smiled softly, "You know, I’m actually an orphan."
"Mm." He had already thoroughly investigated everything about her.
Growing up in an orphanage, she learned to fight recklessly like a boy from a young age to avoid being bullied.
At sixteen, she was kicked out of the orphanage and had done many hard jobs to avoid starvation.
Ultimately, driven by a harsh life, she learned to steal. She was a clever girl, quickly mastering many things.
At eighteen, she was caught by the police and spent a year in prison.
After getting out, she left her country, wandering around, and gradually the world knew of a master thief called ’Spade Thief.’
Her stealing skills improved tremendously, and she protected herself very well. So far, few people could hurt her.
