Chapter 796 - Progress
After returning to the hotel, they truly took a rest. Maya was enjoying her ti in all facilities built inside this hotel while Theo and Agata spent their ti together in the room, playing a mind ga.
In the middle of their ga, Agata couldn't help but ask, "Theo… Do you think I should join you to go to the Starry Group in the near future?"
Theo looked into her eyes and smiled. "That's up to you. I can't really force you to go with . According to our contract, you would only be my assistant as long as I'm in Italy. So, when I leave, you won't be bound to anymore."
"You're always like that." Agata sighed as her expression beca serious. "I want to know whether you want to go with you or not…"
Theo fell silent and looked down, not knowing what to say.
Agata didn't back down. She kept staring at him without flinching. It had already been more than a year since she had accompanied him. Although Theo had recognized her feelings only a few months ago, she wished to know whether there was a chance or not.
"To be honest, I do enjoy your company." Theo sighed and answered honestly. "If I truly can bring soone with , I'll choose you, so you can stay with . I don't deny that your help has had a significant impact on my life, and without you, I won't be able to advance this fast.
"I can say without a doubt that you're soone that I can completely trust my back to." Theo scratched the back of his head while looking left and right, feeling a bit embarrassed saying all that stuff.
"However, I can't truly force you to co with . You have a family in Italy. You have everything there, a caring family, a fortune, a power to decide your own fate.
"anwhile, bringing you with ans you'll be bound to the Starry Group for at least a decade. If it's only a year or two, I won't hesitate to ask you to go with .
"But we're talking about more than ten years. Binding your life like this… I'm afraid I don't dare to do it as of now.
"That's why I can't say anything regarding your decision. My commitnt is not there yet." Theo shook his head helplessly. "I'm sorry if my answer is not satisfactory."
Agata smiled while listening to her answer. There wasn't a trace of disappointnt on her face. Her smile was too bright.
"I'm glad." Agata opened her mouth, saying these words that stunned Theo.
"Eh? You're glad?" Theo was bewildered.
"That ans you're considering my feelings and future. And you're seeking a serious relationship, unlike others who want to try first and break up later when they get bored." Agata made a cheeky grin and explained, "In the past, you would certainly change the topic to avoid answering my question because you didn't have any of that commitnt.
"But now, I guess I've made so progress. You said you would bring if it's only one or two years instead of rejecting that idea. Doesn't that an it's a progress?
"I have a caring family, so I don't know how hurt it is to have your family pushing you to the brink. I don't know how it feels, but I have certainly imagined such a situation.
"What if my family didn't care about , and they chose to treat as a political tool to increase their power? What if no one stood up for , and I ended up becoming soone's accessory?
"When I thought about it, I could imagine your pain. So, I won't push you for an answer. I'm just glad that you still give a chance. You didn't completely shut that door… Hehe." Agata couldn't contain her smile.
Theo was stunned at her reaction and answer. There were mixed feelings in his heart as he couldn't help but look away.
"Thank you."
"I'll give you my answer when that ti cos. Just don't suddenly disappear on , okay?" Agata said.
"Yeah, absolutely." Theo smiled back.
Listening to their conversation from the room, Ava was lying down on her bed and staring at the ceiling.
'Hmm, caring huh…' Ava closed her eyes, recalling the first ti she t Theo. She thought, 'Well, no one knows Theo's kindness more than . Now that I think about it… How many people have Theo killed? I still rember the guy that I t on Thersland… the one that baited him to the lake.
'Then, it was during the Dragon Extermination that Theo killed multiple enemies, including Sihan… or that was what Theo told . Then, has he actually killed soone in Italy?
'Although there are many people dying around him, I don't think he has killed anyone… All those people died in the hands of the people around him, not himself.' Ava suddenly realized the truth.
Theo's kindness seed to remain despite his behaviors. He didn't kill indiscriminately. He only killed when there was no other choice.
As for other people's deaths, he only caused their own downfalls, not their death. They could still get back up as long as they didn't surpass the limit of Theo's tolerance, but it didn't change the fact that he was still directly involved with their deaths.
'I guess that's how it is for him. As long as there's no necessity, Theo never wants to kill other people. Well, that's causing so controversies, but I think Theo has always been conscious about this.
'As of now, I think the one he wants to kill is that Lange Family… What was his na again? Ben Lange? Anyway, I think it's only him. How about his parents?' She thought for a mont and got confused by herself.
'Never mind, I think he's not planning to kill his parents. He might cause so trouble with their family to share so pain that he has endured, but I don't think he's gonna kill them.
'Well, that's fine for . At the very least, he's not a psycho that will kill anyone just because they exist. I hope Theo never changes…
'And Agata seems to be able to understand Theo and respect him. If she becos the one he ends up with, Theo'll certainly prioritize her more than anyone else. There's also Alea and his cousin, Nella.
'Nella doesn't et him too much while Alea has undergone many changes since she first t him… Hmm, I don't know who to choose… At the very least, I know that Theo's shoulder is mine. If they dare to get that, I'm going to disapprove of their relationship. Hmph…' Ava harrumphed before deciding to sleep.
