Chapter 136 Do I Stand A Chance

Julius’s body stiffened slightly. His head, previously bowed, gradually lifted. Their gazes met in that

moment.

“I wouldn’t joke about something like this,” Julius said, his thin lips slightly parting. In his deep, dark pupils, Quinn’s face was reflected. “Quinn, I’m not sure if what I feel qualifies as love in your book, but if there ever comes a day when I realize I can’t bear to lose someone, then I would call that love.”

Quinn was taken aback. So, what he meant was, he couldn’t lose her?

“Perhaps at first, I found you intriguing, simply because you never abandoned me in times of danger, and that’s why I wanted you by my side. But the moment I saw you plunge into the sea to save that child, everything changed.”

Julius murmured softly, gradually leaning in, his face drawing even closer to Quinn.

“I was scared, terrified even, at the thought of losing you like that. It’s a feeling I never want to experience again in my life. By the time I realized it, I had already followed you into the sea.”

His voice, it echoed softly in her ears, his phoenix eyes filled with longing.

“So, Quinn, could you give me a chance? Let’s be together. I’ll treat you really well, I’ll give you my all!”

His voice was hoarse, almost enchantingly so.

Julius, who usually held himself in high regard, was pleading in such an almost humble tone.

Quinn even felt as if her heart had skipped a beat for a moment.

“We’ve barely known each other for long, and you’re already professing your love for me, promising me the world. Don’t you find that a bit absurd?” Quinn suppressed the brief flutter in her heart, speaking with a calm demeanor.

“How long we’ve known each other doesn’t matter when it comes to love,” Julius said, “After all, there are plenty of people in this world who fall in love at first sight, aren’t there?”

Quinn looked up. “So–called love at first sight is nothing more than a euphemism for lust!”

“But for me,” he said, “if I fell in love at first sight with anyone, it definitely wouldn’t be based on their looks alone, but rather a commitment for a lifetime.”

“You’re being too absolute,” she said.

“People from the Whitethorn family have always been like this when it comes to love,” Julius said quietly. Even though he despised his father, he couldn’t deny the lifelong love his father had for his mother.

As long as his father was alive, he was forever in love with his mother, in love with a woman who had already passed away.

Till death do them part.
