Chapter 1328
Chapter 1328 Liam was standing in the rain, and though it hadn't been long, he was thoroughly drenched. Blake quickly pulled him close, her voice laced with concern. "Are you crazy? It's pouring rain! What if you catch a cold?"
Liam's look was subdued, his face showing signs of fatigue. "I'm okay. This is for you; | didn’t want you to have to come out in this weather."
As Blake took in his forlorn appearance, her heart softened suddenly. ‘Am | losing my mind?’ she thought.
“Now you'll have to pay more attention to me, Blake... | was just so scared of losing you. I've put everything | have into getting you to agree to marry me; the idea of you walking away is unbearable."
Overwhelmed with emotion, Blake locked eyes with him. "Did she teach you to say that too?" she asked, her hand moving on its own to brush away the raindrops from his hair.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Amaid nearby, observing the scene, rushed over with a blanket and an umbrella. However, Grace, fully grasping the gravity of the moment, halted her. Acknowledging the significance, the maid retreated without interfering.
Raindrops clung heavily to Liam's eyelashes, one trembling loose as he spoke.
His voice was soft. "| sought her out just three times. The first was right after we met. | was so nervous because | knew it was you. She helped me choose clothes, thinking you'd like them." "The second time was when you were at the police station; | was at a loss. She advised me to seek my father's assistance to get you out, but only if | agreed to take up his position afterward.
"Blake, | can't stand returning to the Xander estate; it's like they've erased me from their lives.
"That snowy day, | couldn't stand the thought of you being alone inside. Knowing how much you despise being confined, my only option was to wait outside, staying by your side was my choice.
"The last time was during your pregnancy. It wasn't the baby that worried me, but the fear you might leave because of it. I... | feel so insecure.”
Liam's words, blending with the rain, struck a chord within her, pulling at Blake's heart.
Overcome with emotion, her voice faltered. Her hand shook as she touched his face, her thoughts swirling. ‘He did all this for me?’
Blake lowered her head, struggling to control her emotions. "Liam, why do you always have to be so considerate toward me?"
She had never had anyone other than family show such dedication. With Kevin, she was always the one putting in more effort from the start. Seeing Liam's sincerity, she recognized a reflection of her own selflessness in him.
She pressed on, "Liam, why didn't you just explain all this earlier? It's not that you were in touch with Olivia that bothers me; it's that you discussed our private matters with someone outside.” "I'm sorry, | really shouldn't have done that," Liam admitted with regret.
"I'm grateful that you're ready to embrace this child, Liam. But make me a promise, that from now on, no matter what challenges we face, whether we're upset or at odds, we'll discuss it openly," Blake implored. "Let's vow to maintain transparency with each other. | never want US to fall into such misunderstandings again. The day | decided to marry you was the day | chose to stand by you through everything."

She took a moment before voicing another thought, "Liam, would you think about leaving Ventropolis with me? Just the two of US, away from everything else."
Liam's eyes, now shimmering with unshed tears, met hers with a spark of hope. "I'll go wherever you want. Just say the word.”
