The Game Character I Raised Was a Powerful Dynasty Heir Chapter 12
I stared at him blankly, my mind going completelyÂ
blank.Â
Back then, I had poured my heart out to the screen, bought gifts for my in–game character, and stayed up late with him every night as he leveledÂ
up…Â
The companionship I thought only existed inÂ
games turned out to be real after all.Â
“I’ve been wanting to find you for a long time,” he said. “But there were system rules in place, so IÂ
couldn’t reveal my identity until you discovered itÂ
on your own.”Â
My eyes began to well up, and my voice trembledÂ
slightly. “So that money and that ring–you gaveÂ
them to me?”Â
“Yes.”Â
“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”Â
William looked at me intently, his gaze gentle yet firm. “Because I wanted you to get to know the real me without knowing the truth. I wanted toÂ
know whether you were actually in love with the character in the game or with me in real life.”Â
I was taken aback.Â
Then, I couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle.Â
“You idiot.”Â
I reached out and gave him a light tap on theÂ
shoulder. “To me, it doesn’t make any difference.Â
You’re still yourself–the person I love.”Â
William froze for a moment, then a hint of a smile.Â
flickered in his eyes. “Then I can rest easy.”Â
Once the truth came to light, William officiallyÂ
confessed his feelings to me.Â
He said that from now on, he didn’t want to be justÂ
a character on my phone screen anymore.Â
He wanted to be that person in my real life-Â
someone who stayed by my side, took care of me, protected me, and gave me all the specialÂ
attention and tenderness I had been missing.Â
I said, blushing. “Then you’d better make up forÂ
being so mean to me before.”Â
William chuckled softly and leaned down to kiss my forehead. “You can do with me as you pleaseÂ
from now on.”Â
Once the news spread, the Lynn family’s attitudeÂ
underwent a complete turnaround.Â
My parents had the nerve to show up at the door trying to mend our relationship, saying it was all a misunderstanding back then and that they had always treated me like their own daughter.Â
In the end, they weren’t even allowed past the front gate of William’s house; they were stopped byÂ
security.Â
Chloe was completely flustered.Â
Everything she had ever done was brought to light,Â
one by one.Â
She had posed as the Lynn family’s heiress to gain access to their resources, conspired with her parents to frame me, and drugged me at my grandmother’s birthday party in an attempt to force me to marry a mining magnate.Â
William’s team compiled this evidenceÂ
meticulously and submitted it to the police andÂ
the media.Â
The day Chloe was taken away by the police for questioning, I stood by the window and watchedÂ
from a distance.Â
The police car’s lights were flashing as she wasÂ
escorted out of the Lynn family’s gate by twoÂ
officers, her makeup smudged from crying and looking utterly disheveled.Â
William wrapped his arms around me from behind.Â
and rested his chin on my shoulder. “Does that make you feel better?” he asked.Â
I shook my head. “It’s not exactly a sense of relief, but I just feel like it’s finally over.”Â
I turned around, looked at his face, and reached out to touch his cheek. Just like I had done countless times in the game.Â
William took my hand and pressed it to his lips for a gentle kiss. “From now on, I’ll take care of you.”Â
On the day my grandparents were discharged from the hospital after their recovery, William officially took me to meet his family.Â
He announced in front of everyone, “This is my future wife–the one who has been by my side through thick and thin.”Â
No one dared to object.Â
Sunlight streamed in through the floor–to–ceilingÂ
windows, falling on our clasped hands.Â
I opened my phone, and the little character on theÂ
game screen was smiling right at me, with a big heart floating above his head.Â
I looked at that familiar face and couldn’t help butÂ
smile.Â
I turned off the game, looked up, and saw that theÂ
man next to me was looking at me with the sameÂ
expression.Â
Gentle, intense–as if he wanted to pull me rightÂ
into his heart.Â
I leaned in with a smile and planted a kiss on theÂ
corner of his lips.Â
“There’ll be no screen between us from now on.”Â
William’s eyes sparkled with amusement as heÂ
replied softly.Â
“Not anymore.”
