Chapter 427 The Breaking Point

Lily remembered the day John recorded her voice.

It had been when they had just made their relationship official. Sometimes, he would grow insecure and ask her to say she loved him, that she would never leave him.

Back then, she had truly loved him. Her whole heart and mind had been filled with him, so of course she’d said it.

But saying it wasn’t enough–he had insisted on recording it.

He’d said that once it was recorded, it would be proof, and she could never go back on her word for the rest of her life.

They had even made an agreement: whenever he played that recording, no matter how badly they fought, they had to make up. They could never break up.

Lily had once believed they truly never would.

But after Elsa returned to the country, she had realized there was no such thing as “forever.”

A relationship needed both people to nurture it if it was to be happy and lasting.

When only one person gave everything, while the other repaid it with betrayal and mistrust, even the deepest love would eventually be worn away.

And in its place, resentment would grow.

“Lily, you said it yourself–whenever I play the recording, no matter how angry you are, you won’t leave me.”

John knelt on one knee by the bed, clutching the recorder in a death grip. “These words came from your own mouth. You can’t go back on them.”

“Let’s make up.”
