Daphne bit her lips tightly, her eyes rimmed red, her face full of apologies and guilt.
Chen Fan's words had spoken her heart.
For her, making this decision was just too difficult… too difficult…
After receiving the call earlier, she had debated for half an hour before finally choosing to tell Chen Fan about the Knell Family's tragedy.
"Silly woman, you are my tulip, a tulip that blooms only for me. Protecting the tulip is my unquestionable duty!" Chen Fan said with a smile as he stroked Daphne's head softly, adding, "Besides… even if your family hadn't encountered this misfortune, I would still be going to Europe. It's just that I have to leave earlier now. Don't worry, everything will be taken care of."
Without a response, the astute and strong-willed Daphne cried silently.
Chen Fan reached out his hand, gently and slowly wiping the tears from Daphne's face without saying anything more, but offering her a confident and clear smile instead.
