Chapter 1649

"Celena, I'm aware of the pain you endured seven years ago because of me and Jovie too. Our time together may have been brief, but it's been profound.

"You and Jovie mean the world to me. Celena, I can't thank you enough. After the tragedy with the Cole family seven years ago, I was left without a home. You gave me a new beginning.

"Celena, please know this—I, Liam, promise to guard you and Jovie with my life. As long as I draw breath, I'll shield you both from any harm."

Liam's declaration was filled with unwavering conviction, his demeanor grave. Celena could see the truth in his eyes.

Moved to tears, Celena's eyes glowed with gratitude as she nodded emphatically. "Yes, Liam... I trust you, and I'm deeply thankful for all you've done. You've been my rock in the toughest of times, and you've always treated me with such kindness."

"Silly girl, you're my wife. Who else would I be good to, if not you?"

Liam's smile was a gentle balm as he brushed away the tears from Celena's eyes.
