Chapter 147
Liv didn’t know why he wasn’t telling her he loved her. Perhaps he didn’t know his own feelings, or there might be some other reason. But the important thing was that Emmett clearly not only trusted Liv but loved her.
A person’s eyes don’t lie. And Emmett’s eyes were speaking of clear love.
Before she knew it, tears were flowing down Liv’s cheeks. Liv thought she had been crying quite often lately. But these tears were different from before. Liv now fully understood human emotions. These were tears flowing from joy and happiness.
"Emmett..."
His name felt sweeter than ever before. It felt like walking on clouds rather than in a forest.
Liv always felt like only unfortunate things happened to her. When one misfortune left, another came. She thought she would have to live struggling in misfortune like that forever.
But now Liv was no longer afraid of life. Just knowing that Emmett loved her made her feel like she could overcome any adversity.
’I thought it was okay to just love alone.’
Yes, in fact, it seems Liv wanted to receive as much love as she gave. Although she learned love from the gods, in the end, Liv was only human. She needed love too.
As if reflecting Liv’s emotions, fireflies suddenly floated up beside Liv. They lit the way for Liv.
Liv would end up living a life victorious through love, just like any character in the legends she had heard until now. Love completed Liv.
Liv walked through the forest with her head held high, tears flowing but a bright smile on her face.
