Chapitre 71: Wanting Him Forever

With a small smile, Carissa pressed on, expressing her gratitude for his enduring love despite everything that had transpired between them. But David remained silent, his gaze fixed on her with an inscrutable expression.

"Thank you for still loving me," Carissa said softly. "I know I hurt you, and I just want to make things right."

David's silence stretched, his face a mask of calm. Despite his reassurance, Carissa couldn't shake the feeling of uncertainty that lingered in the air, casting a shadow over their reunion. But she pushed aside the creeping awkwardness and widened her smile.

"So, what's next on the agenda, boyfriend?" she asked, trying to lighten the mood.

David's mouth twitched, and he shrugged, adopting an innocent expression. "Eat up first, girlfriend," he replied with a toothy grin.
