Joshua Sulliven sighed softly, gently pulling her into his embrace, and said in a low voice, "Remember, no matter what happens, you still have me. I will protect you and be with you for this whole life."
Keira Leaf buried her head on his upper waist, gently opening her eyes: "No matter what happens?"
"No matter what happens."
Keira Leaf fell silent again, reaching out to gently hold his waist. After a long while, she tentatively said, "What if I do something that hurts you? Will you blame me?"
"No." Joshua Sulliven gently stroked her hair.
"Why?" Keira Leaf's eyes were a little wet.
Joshua Sulliven gently cupped her small face: "Do you love me?"
Keira Leaf was somewhat dazed, her eyes flashing with tears as she repeatedly asked herself, does she love him?
Love, of course, love!
She had used several years to admit it, used several years to prove it, and spent several years to practice it. To this day, the answer was beyond doubt!
