The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 187

Chapter 187: He did what he had to do to survive Chapter 187: He did what he had to do to survive “No, Devon.

I’m not disappointed.

I could never be disappointed.

Hero or Villain, whichever you choose to be, I will never be disappointed in you because it’s your choice.

Live by choice and not by fate.

And make sure to stay handsome when you choose, okay?

Your face matters.” He heard her last words, and that put a smile on his face.

Her simplicity in caring for handsome faces was just so unique.

And that simplicity seemed to have washed his worries away, more than he thought it would.

His dirty hands had suddenly become clean, glowing in purity.

Maybe that was what he needed all along.

He needed someone to tell him it didn’t matter.

He needed someone to cheer him on and not blame him for his decision of the past once they heard of it.

A child committing murder was not simple but Alice brushed it off as a thing of the past and a necessity that had to be done to get his brother back.

She did not…

Condemn him.

Seriously, it brought more tears to his eyes and he clutched onto her tightly.

How could he not like her even more?

His eyes widened as he realized it once more.

His widened eyes slowly flattered and they turned soft.

Yes, once again, he realized that he liked her.

Was he allowed to?

She told him to do whatever he wanted to do, so could he like her as well?

“There, there.

It’s okay.

You can cry it all out.

Who says grown men don’t cry?

You have emotions, just as we do.” She said, but she did not really like the concept of crying.

In her arms, she had watched several people crying, weeping, and sobbing.

She had even watched her previous life self sob so painfully that it hurt her heart, but she had never given herself up to the bliss of crying.

Maybe it was because her subconscious still believed the saying that crying was for the weak.

Many things had confirmed that theory while others shoved it aside.

People cry for different reasons.

She wondered about the day when she would cry in this life…

What would move her to cry?

Alice didn’t know how Devon was able to navigate his life after he killed the couple that stole his brother but she was sure he managed somehow and things went well.

But…

He was a kid, and there were a lot of opportunities to choose a path, to choose for himself, but he chose to be kind for his brother.

In any case, she was glad she was able to get this opportunity to speak words of motivation to him.

Just as he lifted her in the past with his words, she would do the same this time around.

She didn’t know why he went as far as telling her his life story, even if he tried to disguise it with storytelling, but she felt she understood him better now.

Seriously, she knew nothing about him or the people who were always around her while they knew her full history.

It wasn’t fair.

Alice pouted but then remembered the smile just now.

Devon was such a handsome guy with a lot of sincerity.

So, it didn’t matter if he had selfish desires.

He did what he had to do to survive, even if it meant dirtying his hands.

He probably hid all his feelings and all his worries in his heart while smiling at the outside world.

Now she understood how her previous life self was still able to laugh and smile through the losses even when she had to be the last one to stand.

She learned a lot from Devon.

He smiled even when he was in pain and aching.

Even when he had passed through so much and was bathed with blood, he still tried to wipe it all off and smile.

Was there anything more remarkable than that?

He confessed all of this to her and it made her…

She was…

Proud of him.

“Well, are you two done?” Leo asked and Alice turned to him.

“You guys can pick this up again after we’re done picking the gift you want to give to the old man of the association.” He uncrossed his legs and got up.

“Come on,” Alice released her hand from Devon and turned her back to him, going after Leo.

“Hey, stop being impatient.

You were engrossed in his story too, weren’t you?” She asked, interlocking her fingers behind her back, stretching them down, and pushing her head forward to taunt him with her smile.

“I just needed to know the background story of…” Their voices became distant as Devon stayed seated, watching them leave.

Alice looked so free standing next to Leo.

Was it because he was not human?

He felt she treated him especially closer than anyone else.

He lowered his gaze and cleaned his eyes with his handkerchief.

He was not ashamed that he cried, rather, he was relieved that he did and was able to garner her pity.

Glad he did not ruin her dress with his tears too.

That would’ve ruined the atmosphere and actually made him embarrassed.

She hugged him so tenderly, like a newborn, and he loved the feeling.

The feeling of being in her arms.

‘Really,’ he looked at his hands that no longer trembled.

‘Would things still be the same even though she finds out the kind of thoughts and feelings I hold towards her?’ “Devon,” Alice called, waving her hand.

They had walked farther from him and she had seen something that looked really nice.

“Come over here.

Come look at this.” Yes, it would be okay.

He wore his glove again and got up from the couch.

He just had to keep his feelings away till he felt the time was right.

Right now…

He glanced at Leo taking a look at some pamphlets…

It was not the right time.

He smiled like the sun he was.

“I’m coming, Alice.” He said.

‘I’ll stand by your side no matter what and I’ll train harder so I can stand by your side in battle as well.’ (And no, he’s not turning evil or anything like that.

He’s not going to plan anyone’s death either.

Devon is a good and pure character, ahem, in my dictionary, that is, and he will not do bad things because of his feelings for Alice.

He’s just going to be slightly overprotective and would compete fairly with Mark if he had to.

Hope this clears some doubts in your mind because even I was starting to have doubts and worry about the character I was creating.

It was getting out of my own hands, haha.) CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah Okay, that’s that Alice became a motivational speaker, LOL.

And oh, yeah, you’ll never guess who made her cry first its a secret, hehe
