Chapter 147 Not Just Anyone

The waiting was unbearable. James couldn’t take it anymore and started typing again.

Just as he typed out her name, her reply came: “I have plans tomorrow. I can’t meet you then.

She didn’t want to see him…

James felt his heart drop to the bottom of a canyon.

But this was the woman he wanted to walk through life with, all the way until their hair turned white. He wasn’t about to give up so easily.

Just as he was about to lower his pride and try one more time, another message popped up. “I’ll be back in Capital City the day after tomorrow. Can we meet then?”

The winter night was still and cold.

But in that moment, James saw fireworks explode in full bloom across his heart.

The man who was normally calm no matter the storm, the unshakable heir of the Luke family, now had the corners of his lips tugged up high in a smile. That refined and noble face even held a rare trace of youthful foolishness.

He stared at the screen, grinning like an idiot for a long, long time. Then, with all the gravity of a vow meant to last a lifetime, he typed: “Okay. Day after tomorrow. I’ll be there–no matter what.”

Once they confirmed the exact time and place, James’s face flushed so red it looked like he’d caught fire.

He held his phone carefully, as if he were holding her hand instead.

He was finally going to meet the only girl who’d ever moved his heart.

He would give her the best of everything.

Forever and always–he would never let her down.
