Chapter 127 Would Sylvester Gomez Think I’m Crazy?

With just one glance, she had etched him into her memory.

Snapped out from her reverie, Cicery looked at Sylvester Gomez, her eyes were red and moist with tears, her lips curved in a smile, "Sylvester Gomez, that was the first time I saw you, and I fell in love with you right then and there." Listening to all this, Sylvester felt a pang of heartache growing wildly within him, coursing through his veins.

Sylvester Gomez's eyes slowly filled with bloodshot as he reached out, pressing Cicery's back against his chest, holding her tightly.

"Baby, it's alright now. I'm by your side, no one's going to hurt you again."

"Remember, carrying my name, my dear, you can walk this world with your head held high."

Beyond the ache in his heart, what followed was an overwhelming sense of fulfillment.
