"You're overthinking. I don't care about these things."
Arabella shook her head, "But I care."
Her eyelashes trembled gently, "I never wanted to be your burden, but now, because of me, you've given up the Russo Financial Corporation, haven't returned to the Russo Family at all, and tonight, those people treated you so differently..."
"Arabella." Joel's voice sounded softly, "No one can influence my decisions. I love you, you know?"
Arabella's eyelashes, shimmering with tears, trembled slightly.
These three words, among our people, even between two people deeply in love, are not easily spoken.
Because their significance is too special.
These three words are never spoken lightly.
For they represent a promise, sincerity.
Perhaps in a lifetime, saying them just a few times is enough, even once would suffice.
Saying them too often becomes a habit, and once habitual, they become mere words, like "I'm just saying it" and "Sounds nice, but I don't believe."
