Chapter 134 I Never Doubted You
The fear that had once consumed her body still hadn’t subsided.
He’s afraid of… losing me.
“Quinn, I… I’ve really fallen for you.” He confessed softly, his voice reaching her ears.
A sudden stiffness overtook Quinn. What is he saying? In love? He’s in love with me? I must have misheard him.
However, Julius’s next words reached her ears with undeniable clarity, assuring her that she hadn’t misheard.
“I love you even more than I thought I could!” He murmured, “So, could you please stop making me so scared?”
“What?” Quinn said, taken aback.
Julius slowly lifted his head, his gaze meeting Quinn’s directly.
He was drenched from head to toe, with water droplets continuously sliding down his wet hair and face.
His pale complexion made his eyes appear even darker.
Contrary to his usual indifferent silence, at that moment, his eyes were filled with unease and, more than that… a fear of losing something precious.
“From now on, whoever you want to save, I’ll help you save. Whatever you want to do, I’ll help you do. You don’t need to put yourself in danger. Whatever you desire, I’ll help you achieve!” Julius said.
His voice was hoarse and deep, like a solemn vow.
Quinn stared blankly at the man before her. He was dead serious.
He lowered his head, gently pressing his lips against the back of her hand, kissing it with an almost reverent devotion.
“Quinnie, don’t leave me, no matter what,” he murmured, his words gently dissipating into the air.
Not far away, all color drained from Trent’s face. In that moment, it felt as if he was on the verge of losing something truly precious.
The sight of Julius holding Quinn was so glaring to him that he had the urge to rush over, to pull Quinn away from Julius’s embrace.
“Trent!” The sound of Sidonie’s voice brought him back to reality.
Show off? Who would dare to risk their life, rescuing people amidst the raging sea, just to show off?
