My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 1140

Chapter 1140 Everett felt tense, and his expression darkened when he said it.

'I didn't dare to approach her because of my illness. That's why I suppressed my passionate love for her.

'Well, in the end, she's the one who took the first step.'

The woman that I love so much confessed to me hesitantly, afraid that her feelings would burden me.'

Whenever he recalled it, he felt his heart ache.

'How can I be such a coward and let her be the first to confess her feelings to me? 'The more she tried to approach me, the more I tried to escape from her. She must've felt extremely hurt and disappointed. 'How can I let the love of my life go through so much pain?!

'I'm such a horrible person!

'She bravely took the first step and confessed her love for me. Her love for me shines so brightly. How can I not embrace it?

'So, what if I'm ill? I can control myself. I will control myself. I won't let it hurt her.

'She's God-sent. I'll cherish her and our relationship together. 'I'll show her all my love for her and make her happy.

Confessing my love for her is just the beginning.'

Ninian, who was on the other side of the line, was still stunned. She could not help but tear up.

'Everett said he... loves me...

'I've saved this number for a long time. Does that mean he loved me back then as well?!

'Does that mean our feelings are mutual?"

Tears streamed down and moist the back of her hands as she said in a choked voice, "Everett, I love you too."

'I really do.

'Even though it took me so long to realize that I love him, he didn't make me wait long for his love, either. He put in more time and effort for our love.

"Ninian, I love you too," Everett said. 'She's mine. She's the woman that I've longed for, the love that I thought would merely be a wild-goose chase.

"So... does that mean that we're together now?" Ninian asked tentatively.

"No."

"Huh?!" She could not help but feel disappointed.

Before she could dwell on that sadness, Everett said, "I've just confessed my feelings for you. I've not made any effort to make you mine yet. I can't get together with you just like that, can I?" There was a hint of cheekiness in his tone of voice.

Ninian was confused, but she gradually came clear of what was happening. She could not help but smile and said cheekily, "And... how are you going to do that?" "Time is fleeting and life is short. I want to use the rest of my life to love you, protect you, pamper you, and make you happy. You will never have to worry about a single thing anymore," Everett said solemnly, from the bottom of his heart.

'So, Ninian..." He said, "Would you like to be with me?"

Tears instantly welled up in the corner of her eyes when she heard this.

She was happy and sad at the same time.

She covered her eyes and could not stop smiling.

"Yes," she said unwaveringly. 'Oh, Everett. My charming Everett. The boy that I've longed for, for three long years.'
