289 NIGHT OF ANNYVERSARY

"What do you mean?" Giana dodged lightly, while continuing her makeup.

"If I asked you not to go, would you listen to me?" asked Dillon, a note of hope in his voice, even though he knew what Giana would choose.

"Didn't I already say that I would put in my efforts in this relationship? We have come this far, are you still going to dwell on the past?" Giana asked softly and then she frowned when she saw Dillon was silent in response to what she said. "Are you still doubting me? After all this time? After everything we have been through and came our way?"
