Elle was once again left stunned by Don's words. Her eyes widened in surprise and became teary again.
She looked like she wanted to reply immediately, but the words didn't come to her. Her mind had gone fuzzy, and her heart felt like it was about to explode in her chest. She found it hard to believe what she had just heard, so much so that she had to question it.
"Y-you mean that?" she asked in a soft, shaky tone.
Even through the video call, Don could see her pupils visibly trembling. He hadn't expected his words to move her so much, but her reaction didn't overly surprise him. He nodded and gave her a soft smile, keeping his gaze locked on her face.
"Of course I mean that, Elle. What? You don't like it?" he asked, sounding puzzled and showing a feigned look of worry.
