When the kiss was over.
Rafael let go of Halo. He looked at her seriously with affectionate eyes and said, "Halo, we used to be in such an environment, and we can't guarantee that we will have a tomorrow, let alone promise the future."
"In the past, I dared to tease you, but I never dared to go any further, because I couldn't promise you a future. But now it's different, I can promise you. I will protect you for the rest of your life."
Rafael's words made Halo's heart skip a beat. She had no choice but to believe what he said.
Rafael loved her.
However...
Halo stared at him and slowly said, "Why me?"
Why wasn't the woman he called after drinking?
"Because the person I want to be with for the rest of my life is you. If it weren't you, I would rather die alone." Rafael suddenly hugged Halo into his arms, and said again, "Maybe you don't love me now, maybe in your heart..."
Rafael suddenly stopped.
