Chapter 8

I made dinner at home and waited for her to return.

As usual, I wore a gentle smile.

I put Chloe's bag on the rack.

"You must be tired from accompanying your friend. I've made your favorite dishes."

She half-closed her eyes, enjoying my shoulder massage.

On the dining table, the dishes were arranged neatly and cleanly.

I smiled with narrowed eyes.

"Chloe, do you remember what I said to you when I proposed the second time?"

"How could I forget, you said you would never let me down, or else you'd die. You were too harsh."

"Then do you remember what you promised me?"

"Huh?"

"You said very seriously that if you ever let me down, you would never have peace for the rest of your life."

She seemed a bit dazed, avoiding my eyes.

"Really? Did I say that? I can't seem to remember clearly."

I chewed the meat bite by bite, smiling broadly.

"It's okay if you forgot, as long as I remember."

"Why are you bringing this up?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking, you'll definitely love me for a lifetime, right?"
