How could I believe his words?<\/p>\n<p>Now, I believe everything he says.<\/p>\n<p>However, I still say, &#8220;Cut out the banana oil. I won&#8217;t believe you. You must be lying to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Unexpectedly, Frances directly admits it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s right. You&#8217;re my Achilles&#8217; heel. As long as it&#8217;s related to you, I can&#8217;t be rational.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I finally couldn&#8217;t help but turn around and hug him tightly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Frances, I really want to be with you for the rest of my life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I bury my head in his arms and say in a low voice.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll be together for the rest of our lives.&#8221; He says softly, his hands gently stroking my hair.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What if I break the law and kill someone?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I raise my head and look at him seriously.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Even so, I&#8217;ll protect you.
