章 610: With Velnorah [3]

"So, I had no other choice but to prove my love to you.. in this way."

He opened his mouth to speak, but she silenced him with a finger pressed gently to his lips. "Let me finish," she said, her voice firm but gentle.

"You may not believe me now. But my feelings for you are real, Zhao Tian. They have been growing steadily, ever since the first moment I saw you."

Her hands tightened slightly on his chest, "When I told you I loved you, I meant it. But I knew my words wouldn't be enough to convince you. I felt like you're not the kind of man who believes in things so easily, especially something as fragile as love."

Zhao Tian's gaze trembled as he looked into her crimson eyes which are softening with love.

"So I had to show you. I had to do something that would leave no doubt in your mind."
