Chapter 559 The Aftermath

• Freya knew that Koen wanted to talk to Peyton, so she got up and went straight to her room. She still had some stuff left behind in her room, and she needed to clean up. Soon, Peyton was the only one left in the living room. It did not take long for Koen to walk in with his hands tucked in his pockets. When Peyton noticed him, she did not look at him, since she dared not look at him. "Peyton." Just as Koen was about to say something, he was interjected by Peyton.
• "Koen, you asked me why I can't accept you all the time. So, can you see why now?" Peyton slowly looked up and stared at Koen. The rays from the sun beamed on her pale face and for someone as strong as her to be so vulnerable only ached Koen's heart. "Look Koen, they're my family. And if you wanna marry me, do you think it'll be appropriate when your parents decide that they want to meet my parents some day? Although I know that we're free to love each other, we still can't escape how much my family will impact us. So… you'll understand, right?"
• Koen's expression dimmed as he slowly sat next to Peyton before holding her hands. Peyton wanted to escape his grasp, but this only made Koen hold onto her tighter. He said, "Your parents and your family have nothing to do with me. I only care about your happiness."
