Jade was stunned and blurted out, "But isn't this what couples do?"
Valentino stared at Jade in front of him with his deep eyes and asked, "Aren't we a couple?"
Jade was speechless.
Jade was stunned by Valentino's words.
She had always felt that she was repaying Valentino for saving her life, but everyone else said that she was his lover and plaything.
However, Valentino said they were a couple!
"Valentino, I..." Jade stammered. She suddenly did not know what to say.
Valentino looked at her and said, "Jade, no matter what others say, you must remember that you are never a lover or a plaything to me. You are the woman I care about and love."
Jade's eyes turned red. "Yes," she said and nodded heavily.
Although Jade didn't know what would happen between her and Valentino, she was happy to hear Valentino say so.
She had recently read this in a book, "Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."
