Mark Reed's words made Valentine Teller feel warm inside.
She was very grateful that he could understand her.
Actually, sometimes he wasn't that annoying; he would consider things from her perspective, and being able to do this, she was already very satisfied.
It showed that he still had her in his heart.
Even if it was just a small corner for her to temporarily take refuge, that was enough.
"Thank you." She inhaled his scent as the warmth of his body passed through his clothes to her, and she smiled contentedly, "Thank you."
"I'm not used to hearing that."
Mark Reed tightened his arm around her shoulder a bit.
The hardships she had endured since childhood seemed to be conveyed through her warmth to him, allowing him to empathize with her.
Poor girl, from now on he would take care of her.
Mark's lips curled into a smile, "I said I would take care of you for a lifetime; in the future, I'll take care of you and won't let you suffer anymore."
