In that moment, Seraphina Sterling was also stunned by the conviction in his voice! He wasn't joking or just saying it for the sake of it—he truly wanted to be with her, and for a lifetime!
Justin Hale had brought her too much misery, taught her too harsh a lesson. She no longer dared to touch matters of the heart, nor did she dare to believe in them. A lifetime... it was too far away. Who could guarantee they would only love one person their entire life!
Seraphina Sterling avoided Terrence Grant's insistent gaze. "Mr. Grant, I'm not even an adult yet. Aren't your tastes a bit... extreme?"
Terrence Grant wasn't fooled by her attempt to deflect. His eyes only grew more affectionate. "You're still young, too young to be talking about love. I can wait. I'll wait until you're old enough to fall in love with someone. And when that time comes, I won't let you run away again!"
