Stella Sterling's tone was neither serious nor cold as she spoke.
Her face held a hint of a smile, and her tone was light, as if she were discussing something utterly ordinary.
However, once you truly heard what she was saying, you could sense the profound detachment in her words.
It was as if she had seen through everything and, as a result, didn't believe such words in the slightest.
Gordon Ford stared at her for several long seconds.
'She didn't used to be like this.'
He didn't know why she had become this way. He looked at Stella Sterling, but instead of offering more assurances, he spoke with a grave seriousness. "Since you don't believe in promises, you can just watch my actions from now on. I'll show you that I'll spend a lifetime fulfilling the words I speak."
