Chapter 197: Her Promise
"You promise?" Leander asked hugging her closer.
She never gave the impression that she liked living. This probably is the first time she is giving something of a reveal of her desire to live. How can he not be happy about it?
This truly is a wonderful day! The best birthday he ever had.
"I’m going to hold you to your promise," he kissed her head. "You cannot take it back...ever..."
Viviana only then realized the weight of the words she spoke.
"You make my foundations shake just with your eyes, Leander," she said. She spoke that words without thinking much and yet those were words that would cause impact.
He chuckled. His voice heard through his chest was more majestic. And knowing that she’s the only one who could get this close to him to hear it gave her a mysterious feeling in her heart.
There might have been some before there might be some after... But now, this moment, this birthday, belongs to her. Her alone.
She closed her eyes leaning on his chest.
She just didn’t know how big of an impact she had made on him. But she did not regret those words. Maybe, if she was allowed to live, she will make him a cake each year for his birthday, as long as he accepts it.
He sounded sincere when he said that he will hold her to the promise she made. But how long will he be interested in her? He says he loves her and she believed him.
But there is an end to everything. Certainly love. She was not delusional to think that someone like Leander would love someone like her forever.
