Chapter 527 His Sudden Offer?
Villain Ch 527. His Sudden Offer
Vivian felt a warmth spreading through her, as if Allen's virtual embrace had transcended the boundaries of the game and touched her real emotions. The reassurance in his words created a haven within the virtual realm, a sanctuary where she could share her vulnerabilities without judgment.
"Thank you, Allen," Vivian whispered, her voice tinged with gratitude. In that moment, she realized the significance of having someone who understood her, someone who could offer support even in the surreal landscape of the game. The Ironclad Legion's members might have seen it as a mere in-game event, but for Vivian, it was a confrontation with lingering shadows from her past.
She pondered the paradox of her emotions. Logically, she knew the distinction between the virtual and the real. Yet maybe… she just needed someone to give her validation, someone who said what happened was only in the past and what happened in the game was nothing more than the players who tried a new way to face the villains. Yet, the echoes of her past experiences had created a bridge between the two, making the in-game events feel more poignant than expected.
"Do you need someone to accompany you? You know, someone you could talk to through the night?" Allen's offer resonated through the hall, carrying genuine concern. He recognized the weight of Vivian's past experiences and understood the lingering impact of such trauma. And he bet Vivian would have a hard time dealing with it through the night.
Vivian hesitated for a moment, feeling the warmth of Allen's presence. His offer was more than a gesture; it was an invitation to share vulnerabilities and build connections. But swiftly, she composed herself, reminding both Allen and herself of his recent illness.
"It's okay. I'm fine. You shouldn't be online for too long. You are still sick, remember?" she replied, her words belying a longing to accept his company. She knew he had been unwell, yet the desire to spend more time with him in this virtual realm tugged at her.
"I mean in the real world," Allen's words cut through her dilemma with a directness that caught Vivian off guard. The casual atmosphere shifted to a moment of tangible seriousness as if the digital veil had momentarily lifted to reveal the sincerity beneath.
Vivian released her hug and was petrified. Her eyes widened in shock. His proposition echoed in her ears, and for a moment, she felt her heart beating faster. Her gaze locked on him.
"Huh?" she stammered, the surprise evident in her voice. She made the sound spontaneously due to her confusion. She couldn't even believe her ears. The idea seemed too fantastical, too surreal. Allen's proposal hung in the air.
"I will come to your apartment and accompany you in the real world," Allen declared, his tone unwavering. A sense of determination emanated from his form, a stark contrast to the playful banter that often filled their interactions. "How's that sound? You said you want Netplik and Chill, right? We can do that tonight. The real one. I will accompany you to watch any film you want," he affirmed, laying out his offer with clarity.
Vivian's heart thudded in her chest, caught between the exhilaration of the unexpected proposal and the practicalities of reality. The prospect of meeting Allen, even only for an hour, ignited a spark of joy, but alongside it, a sense of responsibility tugged at her.
"Thank you for your attention, Allen," she began, her voice laced with a mix of gratitude and a touch of reluctance. She hesitated, grappling with the whirlwind of emotions within. "B-But, I think I should reject it. You are still unwell, and it's late now. If you come now, we can only watch one episode, and you have to come home immediately," she explained, her words a delicate dance around the unspoken desire that lingered in the air.
Her reasoning masked a deeper conflict within Vivian. While the idea of Allen's visit thrilled her, a self-imposed sense of duty restrained her from accepting it. The consideration for Allen's health took precedence over her personal desires. Vivian grappled with the dichotomy of wanting to bask in his company and the awareness that his well-being must be the priority.
Love, for Vivian, was not merely about fulfilling her own desires; it encompassed a broader perspective. She wanted Allen to recover fully, to regain his health, although they had to sacrifice a fleeting moment of shared intimacy. It was a testament to her selflessness, a quality that had blossomed from what she faced in the past.
'But I want to meet him… I want to be with him…' Her heart screamed. There was a subtle undercurrent of yearning in Vivian's heart, a desire restrained by the responsible choices she was making. The conflict between her personal wish and the consideration for Allen's well-being painted a poignant picture of Vivian's heart– someone who measured love not only in the intensity of emotions but also in the sacrifices and thoughtful decisions that defined a meaningful connection.
"Don't worry about that," he reassured, the warmth in his gaze almost tangible. "I'm planning to accompany you all night, Vivian. I will stay at your apartment tonight," he declared, the words weaving a tapestry of connection between them. His words, laden with a promise of presence and comfort, elicited a chuckle that danced between astonishment and delight. A casual confidence underscored his statement, an assurance that this was not a fleeting offer but a sincere commitment.
Allen's playful yet serious tone rippled, and Vivian found herself caught in a whirlwind of emotions. Her shock deepened. She momentarily froze in a mix of surprise and exhilaration. Allen's unexpected proposition tapped into the unspoken desires she harbored. The prospect of letting Allen stay for the night in her apartment, of having him physically present all night long, sent a surge of emotions coursing through her. It held a magnetic allure, a prospect that touched on a deeper chord within her, and Allen's proposal left her momentarily speechless, and there was no easy way to refuse this offer.
