Damion raised an eyebrow and his gaze turned dangerous in an instant. It was clear that if she said anything else that would annoy him right now, she might face some serious consequences for provoking him like this.
Although Ivy had never been in love before, this was the first time she had feelings for a man. Her animal instincts were very keen, and she could sense that Damion wasn’t in a good mood at the moment.
If she dared to say something that would make him feel worse, her life might be in danger. So Ivy obediently approached Damion and said to him, “Of course I like you. You’re my favorite.”
Damion let out a light snort through his nose and acted quite proud.
Ivy quietly glanced at Damion’s expression and then said, “Damion, does that mean you’re my boyfriend now?”
“Mm-hmm,” replied Damion.
Ivy immediately became happy again and approached Damion once more saying, “So can I act cute with you now?”
Damion met her gaze and saw the starry glint in her eyes. He felt helpless yet also heartbroken. How timid this girl was around him! She couldn’t express her true emotions towards him.
Why did his girl have to be so submissive?
Damion pinched Ivy’s face gently and said to her, “You can do anything with me except breaking the law or cheating on me.”
Upon hearing this statement from Damion, Ivy giggled uncontrollably, and couldn’t help but think how adorable he was.
It was no wonder she liked him so much.
Who wouldn’t like someone like Damion?
Ivy raised her hand and wrapped it around Damion’s neck, snuggling into his embrace.
She said, “I don’t want to go to Capital anymore. I want to stay by your side.”
Damion chuckled. This girl was indeed like a child, with thoughts jumping around from one moment to the next, not even sure what she really wanted.
He patted Ivy on the back and asked her to sit down.
“Ivy,” he said. “I think you need to think about this a little more clearly.”
Ivy sat up straight and became serious too.
She looked at Damion and said, “I never thought we would be together. That’s why I wanted to go to
Capital. I want to study hard so that I can repay you when I come back.”
“I know,” Damion replied.
He understood the thoughts of this young girl very well.
“But,” Ivy continued. “I don’t want a long-distance relationship. I never had any family or friends before.
Always alone all my life. Now that there is finally someone like you in my life, I don’t want us separated.”
It was as if Ivy was a child who had never tasted candy before. Without having tasted it before, she wouldn’t have realized how bitter life could be but now that she had tasted it for the first time, how will she ever go back?
Damion touched Ivy’s face gently and said, “Originally, I didn’t plan on confirming our relationship so quickly but because you were in such a hurry and didn’t give me an opportunity, let me explain things properly.”
As soon as Ivy heard Damion’s words, her face turned pale with confusion. She looked at him uncertainly, unsure if she could accept what he was about to say.
Damion knew that she was overthinking things again. He said, “I’m not breaking up with you. Since we’re already together, I won’t let go. That’s what I wanted to tell you earlier.”
Ivy stared at Damion in a daze and didn’t react for a moment. She didn’t know what he meant by his words.
Damion continued, “You may not know me well enough yet, but possessiveness is deeply ingrained in my nature. Unless something is confirmed as mine, no one can take it away from me.”
Ivy was stunned by this revelation. The Damion she knew seemed completely different from the one standing before her now.
She couldn’t believe that Damion was really like this.
Without giving Ivy time to digest his words, Damion went on to say, “So what I meant earlier was that
I’m giving you a chance to decide your own path in life. If you want to leave me and fly away someday, before or after we start our relationship, then I’ll let you go… but remember that you belong to me.”
For a long time afterwards, Ivy just stared at him with watery eyes, finally understanding the true meaning of his words.
The truth of it all hit her hard: she liked Damion now and would continue liking him more each day going forward into their future together.
In fact, when she realized how much he meant to her deep down inside herself, she knew without question: if they couldn’t be together, then there would be no one else for her either way…
“How could I possibly like someone inferior after experiencing the best?” Ivy realized this and suddenly burst into laughter.
She looked at Damion and said, “I am yours.”
Ivy’s gaze was unwavering as she looked at Damion, as if she were surrendering herself to him with those three words.
Damion’s heart softened by the girl’s words.
At this moment, he didn’t want to let her go to Capital anymore.
Damion thought he had such strong willpower that he could generously send the girl off to study and grow up.
But now it seemed that he overestimated himself. Perhaps it was because he couldn’t bear to be without her.
Damion looked at Ivy and said, “Ivy, you still need to go to Capital.”
Ivy immediately felt disappointed and looked at Damion with red eyes. She stuttered her lips and asked, “Damion, are you trying to let me leave?”
“No,” Damion smiled and said. “Your abilities are worth going to Capital for. The opportunity is in front of you, and you can choose whether or not to go. But I hope that you will do better.”
“But I can also do well in Innisrial,” Ivy said.
With him by her side, she would be better.
However, Damion rubbed Ivy’s head and said, “Camdyn wouldn’t give a suggestion for no reason. He must have his own considerations.”
“So I must go to Capital?” Ivy bit her lip unhappily.
“Right now it’s just a goal,” Damion said. “Preparing for going to Capital or staying in Innisrial is different. Whether or not you succeed depends on how well-prepared you are.”
Ivy tilted her head and thought about it. It was true.
She suddenly laughed out loud as she looked at Damion, “Are you not afraid that I’ll intentionally prepare poorly so that I can stay in Innisrial?”
“If that were the case,” Damion replied calmly. “Ivy, then I think you would regret it.”
After thinking about it for a moment, Ivy realized that what Damion had said was right.
She wasn’t someone who thought only of love, although her timidity made her lack any sense of reality sometimes which led her into thinking if she went so far away, whether their feelings would disappear quickly or not.
She didn’t doubt his character. He wouldn’t cheat on her with another woman while she was away. But she worried if he didn’t like her as much as she liked him.
At the end of the day, it was just her lack of confidence in herself.
But Ivy couldn’t bring herself to talk to Damion about it.
She knew he would reassure her in the most gentle way possible, telling her that all the things she worried about wouldn’t happen.
But she couldn’t control herself.
Just thinking about it made Ivy feel sad and overwhelmed.
She looked at Damion, opened her mouth and said with difficulty, “Damion, I’m going away for a long time.”
How was she going to make it through four years?
Damion replied, “I’m more worried than you are.”
College was a pure and complex world.
No one knew what will happen during college years.
His girl was much cuter and more likable than he imagined. He can imagine how many boys will be attracted to her and want to be by her side.
Damion had his own worries too. His confidence wasn’t greater than Ivy’s either.
Although Ivy was not very confident in herself and often timid, she was not stupid.
She could directly feel the melancholy in Damion’s heart at this moment. And she could also feel how much Damion cared about her.
Ivy couldn’t help but lean towards Damion with a smile and said, “Damion, you like me so much.”
Looking at her arrogant expression, Damion felt his heart sink again. He wanted to hold the girl in his arms and let her experience his love for her firsthand. And that was exactly what he did.
With a long arm, he pulled the girl into his embrace.
Damion whispered softly into Ivy’s ear, “Let’s prepare according to Capital University’s requirements first. We can decide whether or not to go later.”
This was a way for both of them to calm down. In this way, Ivy could temporarily put aside her worries and focus on preparing for exams.
Ivy nodded and wrapped her small hand around Damion’s waist obediently.

In the living room, Casey watched her phone while looking upstairs. These two had been up there for so long now and still hadn’t come down yet.
If Casey didn’t know what kind of person Damion was, she would have suspected that the two of them were in the room together doing…
But she quickly dismissed the thought. It was impossible. The girl must be crying and Damion was comforting her.
Just thinking about it made Casey feel happy. She always thought that out of all their friends, Damion was the one who could never encounter such problems. Who would have thought even a god had to descend to earth?
“What are you laughing at? Where’s Damion?” A sudden voice interrupted Casey’s thoughts.
She turned around and saw Ben walking in with Tilly in his arms.
Casey laughed, “You two are here first? When did you become so nosy?”
Ben’s face darkened as he glared at Casey, “You’re getting too big for your britches! You think you can just say whatever you want because I can’t hit you now?”
