Chapter 0125

Violet finally showed a reaction and frantically clung to the sheet. Her eyes were red and swollen, pleadingly looking at him.

“I can promise that, as long as you stay by my side, I won’t be with other women.”

This was the best commitment he was willing to offer.

Violet managed a strained smile, tinged with sadness. “So if you grow tired of me, you’ll just let
