He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 127.Confronting the past 2.

"I had put you through unnecessary pain because of my weakness and flaw. I had to deal with it . I was planning on telling you about it ,when news of your father’s death reached us. I couldn’t live with the guilt of causing you such pain. I know I was not the cause of your dad’s death but at least had you been on good terms with him before he passed ,you wouldn’t have become so miserable after his death . I thought I was a cancer that had to leave your life and you deserved someone better. But I was wrong. I was wrong about a lot of things . I could have -"

" You could have opened up to me Kim Karasawa!. What’s the point of being with me when you were planning on shouldering all the burden you were carrying on your own!. For fuck’s sake Kim we were engaged !

We were not just dating. We had agreed to spend the rest of our miserable god forsaken lives together. If we had to be miserable ,couldn’t we have been miserable together?. The worst fucking part is that I haven’t felt anything for any woman after the stupid prank you pulled on me. I have a perfect secretary who has been making attempts at warming my bed and yet I don’t even give her the eye because women look like a cancer to me!. Not only that, inasmuch as I hate to admit it , I still have feelings for you!" Reynolds finally realized what he had said.

"I said I love you?. Why did I say that?" He muttered,sighing deeply.

Kim stood up with tears running down her cheek,placing her arms slowly around his neck ,hesitating he’d shun her " I still love you too Rey. I know I messed up and there’s no going back to change the past. But to err is human and to forgive is divine. I have never been with any man after what I did to you.

All these years have taught me about how stupid and naive I was to you back then. So can you please give me another chance to prove how much I love you to you, now that I’ve learnt my lesson?"

Reynolds looked Kim in the eye softly " I need some time to think .

Now see yourself out please"

Kim’s eyes widened as tears fell from her eyes.

" Thank you for at least deciding to think about it Reynolds. Please take as long as you want. I’ll be waiting"

She braced herself, using a tissue to wipe away her tears as she left the room.

Watching her leave, Reynolds sighed as he slumped into the bed." I’m one of the strongest persons in the federation,and yet strength seems extremely helpless when it comes to matters of the heart . Why are these things always complicated?"

Kim stood outside the door for a few seconds as she bolted towards the elevator.

By the side, a familiar woman waited.

" How did it go?" Jane asked.

" He said he’d think about it " Kim voiced, her voice strained.

" I can tell from your face that whatever went on in there was obviously not pleasant, but you seem more lively now"

Jane placed her hands around Kim’s neck.

Kim shook her head " I need a shower"

" Oh, I know this perfect sauna. Let’s head towards the estate first and grab some stuff and head there" Jane said " To think that brother of my would choose to lodge in a hotel suite just because he wanted to avoid meeting you at the family estate. Don’t worry, I’m sure he will give you a positive feedback "

Kim sighed " Do you think so? I really hurt him. I knew I did but to think I hurt him this much. For the first time I saw him, I saw him c-"

" Save it for when you two are back together Gal" Jane said " Sensitive matters between you and him cannot be shared with me, even his sister. It’s common courtesy "

Kim sighed ,nodding " You’re right Jane.I need to respect his privacy . I don’t know why you are so positive he will come around. But I would be really happy if he does .I don’t know what I’d do if I lost him "

" Don’t worry. I’m sure he’ll come around . He’s my brother. I know him . If the answer was a no,he’d have come out and said it . Since he said he’d think about it, let’s hope for the best" The elevator finally opened, as the duo entered it.

" Let’s go visit that sauna then" Kim voiced, her voice tinged with slight positivity now compared to a few moments prior .

" Say, tell me the truth. You decided to take the step and approach him because you are scared the secretary will win his heart right?" Jane teased,winking.

" Tsk .As if you didn’t have a role to play in encouraging me to man up" Kim chuckled as she clicked her tongue.

The elevator door finally closed .

********

The afternoon summer sun cast it’s warmth on the estate, revealing its magnificent beauty.

A group of four stood before the magnificent estate sprawling several 100 kilometers stop a mountain peak.

" This estate is giving me ancient movie vibes "

Charles chuckled at Micheal’s words.

This was the second time today the group were coming to the estate. The first was when they were dropping Phila and Felicia off before they head to the Ying Yang Profound Sect.

The second time was right now as they had just returned from the Ying Yang Profound Sect.

" Yeah , this place literally looks like a tourist site" Arrie added.

Kailen shared the same sentiment,nodding.

" Well, our family prefers to keep the design this way. Consider it family taste . The family estate has been this way for as long as I can recall"

The group stared at the towering buildings giving off Sia continent ancient movie vibes.

Engravings like dragon drawings amkngst others were on the walls of various buildings and even along some pillars of the canopied pavement where they currently passed.

" Those drawings are camouflaged formations right?" Micheal asked.

Charles eyes widened slightly " Well, well . Someone knows their stuff. Those are camouflaged arrays or formations ,whatever term you prefer"

As the group chatted many individuals passing by greeted the young master with polite gestures as they stared at Kailen with fear and reverence.

" The hell?" Kailen sighed.

" After the stuff you pulled off?. Just after being inaugurated as a global level guardian awakener? " Arrie voiced,her arms tugged between Kailen’s "What did you expect Kai. You should check the storm you are causing on social media"

Kailen curiously took out his phone.
