Chapter 154 Carlas Worry (1/2)
Carla asked him because she thought that affection came fast and went fast.
Even couples that had been married for years couldn't guarantee that their marriage would last a lifetime, let alone the love she and Terence had. How long could it last?
”Why are you asking me a question like that all of a sudden? Tell me, are you worrying about something brought on by your own imagination again?”
Terence lowered his head so he could look her in the eyes and smiled. He tapped her nose affectionately.
”Carla, I think verbal promises don't mean anything in a relationship. They only sound beautiful. I prefer to prove my affection to you with action. I'll show you how long I will like you for.”
Carla leaned against him and looked out at the vast sea. She then said, ”But I would like to hear the beautiful words from you now. Say them to me, please.”
Terence put his arm around her shoulders as he looked out into the distance. He sighed, ”Carla, I don't know what I did to have made you doubt my feelings for you.
Anyone who knows me would know that I don't make a promise so easily. You are indeed the first girl that I have fallen head over heels for and spent so much time and effort to pursue. You will also be the last. If I could, I would show you my heart.”
Terence then turned to look her in the eyes. ”One more thing. My feelings for you are not that of 'like'. It's love.
I love you, Carla Ji! And the next time you want to ask that question again, do remember to ask me how long I will love you for, won't you?”
He lifted her chin and gently ran his thumb across her lips.
Carla's eyes were full of tears because of the heartfelt confession that he made. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck.
”Terence, I know the road ahead of us will be very difficult. But I will try my best to put my full trust in you and overcome the challenges with you, hand in hand. So please, don't ever break my trust, okay?”
What she heard today from the man on the computer rocked her very foundation of trust.
