goodbye my sweetheart

, Did Damon's marriage news disappoint her to this extent?

"Uh... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have congratulated him, it's not good for you that they got married." She was a little happy to see Stefan's lovelorn, but his eyes stared at her so nakedly that she didn't dare to gloat too presumptuously, She thought for a long time with her mouth gaping, and the more she spoke, the more she felt that she was at a loss for words, and finally she had to thicken her skin, pretend to be very familiar, and said to him, "My poor Stefan, don't worry, everything will be fine." A catch-all bullshit that works in most situations.

"Yes, I've found a way to make everything better." Stefan smiled, his dark green eyes were full of laughter, and his pointed canine teeth were exposed, looking a bit childish.

Looking into his eyes, she felt an irresistible dizziness, her feet went limp and she fell down.

Before losing consciousness, her only thought was: She was actually hypnotized by Stefan!

Stefan hugged the fallen Katherine and laid her on the big ornate brass bed in his room.

When Damon came, he saw her like this: pale and beautiful face, closed eyes, long black curly hair, and handcuffs on her hands, with a copper pillar at the other end of the handcuffs.

Damon stood on the edge of the bed, looking down at her, he reached out his hand as if to touch her, but just as he was about to touch her face, he lowered his hand, and instead he called out, Damon called out her name, "Katherine -"

Stefan couldn't ignore the complex and full of emotions and emotional calls in Damon's eyes. Stefan raised an eyebrow and smiled silently: It seems that expelling Damon is the right decision, yes, expulsion, he wants Damon to live forever Drive out of Katherine's life.

Damon pointed to the handcuffs on Katherine's wrists, "You actually handcuffed her, you can't do this to Katherine, she is not a prisoner."

"To me, she is."

"You're crazy, Stefan." Damon's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, I'm crazy, I haven't been normal since the day I fell in love with her."

"Have you ever thought about it? If you treat her like this, she will hate you."

"I'm not afraid of her hate, because—my love is greater than her hate."

"You're really crazy, Stefan, hunt her down, hypnotize her, handcuff her, what's next?"

"—married her." Stefan laughed, "I told you last time that we would get married. From the moment I found her and saw her again, I was planning our wedding, otherwise you thought Why did I wait so long to meet her?"

"She won't say yes, and you know why." Damon felt a little uncomfortable at the thought of Katherine marrying Stefan.

"I don't need her to agree. If she is not willing, I will hypnotize her to make her willing. For Katherine, it is impossible for me to accept rejection. She and I must get married, and we must be together. This is Stefan's determination. "

Damon was overwhelmed by the desperate Stefan in front of him. He had never seen Stefan's persistence to such an extent. His younger brother Stefan was a reserved and self-disciplined person. Even in the love triangle with Elena and Damon, he He has never been reluctant to Elena, he always carefully protects his self-esteem and heart; he always leaves in a low-key and witty way before others "say no"... Stefan will never let himself fall into the trap of being rejected. In embarrassment and embarrassment.

But now it seems that the reason why Stefan can always maintain a gentleman's demeanor may be because Elena can't ignite the real fire of love in Stefan's heart.

Damon frowned at Stefan and sighed.

"I know what you're trying to say, Damon," Stefan threw his head back and laughed, "For me, love is something to be had. I know it's not the Stefan you picture, but this is who I am. I've spent almost 200 years trying to make things difficult for myself, to escape, and all my efforts couldn't stop my heart from loving her—"

"Stop talking, Stefan, I understand, I'm leaving now, I wish you all, I hope Katherine is worth everything you have given." Damon glanced at the beautiful Katherine lying on the bed, then turned and left.

After Stefan watched Damon leave, he sat on the edge of the bed, uncuffed the handcuffs, and whispered to the sleeping Katherine: "Of course you are worth it, Katherine, you have taught me so much. From Damon to Ethan, your behavior, your Your choices, your sacrifices, your actions have taught me that love is action, not fantasy. Compared to your love, my love is like an insignificant shadow, my fault is thinking too much, and Too little is done."

He took Katherine's hand and kissed it over and over again, "I wish I had time, Katherine, please don't give up on me so quickly. We are made for each other, we should be together, God, please give me Enough strength and courage to face and endure everything in the future.”

Stefan knew he was taking a risk, and maybe in the end, he and Katherine still couldn't get together, and they would still go their separate ways.However, he had to try, work hard, and do it in the direction he wanted in his heart.He knew how deep the hatred between them was, how complicated the relationship was, and he also knew that she would not give him good looks. He knew that what he was going to face was the most tricky, difficult, tough, and stubborn Katherine, But even so, he didn't intend to give up.

Love is not empty talk or fantasy, he has to do something.

Otherwise, he would regret it for life, and for a vampire, life is not a word, but a state of eternity, and he cannot allow himself to be plunged into never-ending regret.

People in the world often say that the greatest sincerity of a man to a woman is to propose to her. He knows that there will be a storm of resistance from her, and he is also timid and contradictory. He is afraid of her rejection, but he wants to create a complete memory with her. , from proposal to marriage.He stroked his forehead and sighed, maybe he should choose to hypnotize her, and then hold the wedding directly.

God knows how much Stefan is afraid of Katherine's hurt, his scalp is numb with fear, he doesn't know how many times he can bear blows from her.

Is there anything more difficult than winning back the heart of a woman who doesn't love you?

What's harder than getting a woman who hates you to fall in love with you again?

The first thing Katherine sees when she wakes up is the vintage wedding dress she sewed by herself.

At this moment, it was quietly lying beside her pillow, and the light of the broken diamonds intertwined, flickering almost dazzlingly, she stretched out her hand to brush it lightly, yes, it was it.

She frowned, and slowly got up from the bed. She glanced at Stefan sitting on the sofa, a little disgusted and disgusted, but more puzzled.

Stefan looked at her with a dazed face, and was very angry in his heart: Did this woman never think that the two of them would come together to talk about marriage one day?The dark anger in his heart made his tone so cold that it sounded like an order, and he said, "Put it on."

"Did I hear wrong? This is a wedding dress, where can I wear it?" Too many questions flashed through Katherine's mind, "Why can you hypnotize me? ... Oh, forget it, I don't want to know .In short, no matter why this wedding dress is here with you, you must return it to Taylor immediately, it is a very important guest of his—"

Before the word "household" was spoken, Katherine suddenly came to her senses, "Are you that customer?"

Stefan shrugged and smiled noncommittally.

"It's a trap, isn't it? A trap specially set for me." Katherine tensed up, folded her hands on her chest, and snorted coldly, "Stefan, you really haven't changed at all. This time I still want me to be Elena's stand-in, to bear the danger for her. Is it?"

"I just wanted you to come to our wedding." Neither he nor she realized it was a marriage proposal, and Stefan proposed to Katherine.

"What do you mean? Our wedding? If I'm not mistaken, you mean your wedding with Elena, but why do you want me to wear a wedding dress for your wedding? Wait, didn't you say that Elena and Damon got married? Didn't Klaus It's not okay to eat her at the wedding. But, it doesn't make sense, isn't she very important to Klaus?" Katherine was even more confused.

"It's your wedding." Stefan finally worked up the courage to say what he'd always wanted to say to her, "We're getting married."

"If what you mean literally, I refuse!" She rejected him quickly and without thinking.
