But Arabella heard it from his thoughts.
[What if you suddenly realize that you cannot be with me?
That they are more precious to you no matter what?
What if after seeing them again, you change your mind and no longer go to Estrella with me?
What if you realize you wanted to stay there for the rest of your life instead of here or Estrella?]
Ferdinand had his fears that Arabella might change her mind on the decisions she had already made.
Arabella looked at him in deep in the eyes and said, "Ferdinand, I love you."
Ferdinand gulped at her words and a blush colored his face. His face turned red and she felt his heartbeat drum in his chest loudly especially since he could not avert his gaze from her this time with how she looked at him.
"You believe me, right?" Arabella inquired and Ferdinand nodded.
"Then, please trust me. And believe in me. Believe in my feelings for you, Ferdinand," Arabella asked.
