Chapter 160. Trust Me

Dave clenched his fists. He couldn’t wait any longer.

Bianca, unaware of Dave’s thoughts, thought he was upset about being teased. She held his head gently in her arms, feeling his uneven, helpless breaths against her chest.

“I’ll keep you safe,” Bianca said, her voice gentle and reassuring. “I’m not just saying this to comfort you. It’s a promise.”

Dave held her tightly, burying his head in her embrace.

Bianca sensed Dave’s doubt but continued earnestly, “Trust me. I’m not afraid to defend myself. If Stacey and Sheila try anything, I’ll stand up to them. And if anyone messes with you, they’ll regret it. I’m here to protect you, so don’t worry.”

Dave hugged Bianca tightly, feeling her slender back against him.

This day will never be forgotten. Bianca had just faced danger, got hurt, and now lay in bed. But she bravely promised to keep him safe.

Her promise made him feel warm inside, like ice melting in the spring sun.

“Okay.”
