My Deep Affection Needs No Reason

"You can reject me with all the thorns in the world, but I won't give up embracing you because of that."

The raindrops pattered on the tiles, creating a chaotic rhythm that completely disturbed Cynthia's heart. Her eyelashes trembled gently, and she finally closed her eyes, resignedly saying in a low voice, "Tristan, I don't have the courage to gamble on a love without considering the cost anymore."
