Victor had always said Vera was too independent, never giving him a chance to take care of her.
Now that they were finally together, she still acted so independently, preventing Victor from truly entering her inner world.
Vera was just worried that becoming too dependent on someone would turn into a habit. But now, seeing how devotedly this man loved her, she knew she should gradually try to change.
Vera leaned into his embrace, took a deep breath, and wrapped her arms around him. Only with Victor could she feel this warmth and peace of mind. She, too, wanted to stay by this man's side forever, watching their two children grow into adults.
"You said it, so don't take it back. From now on, I'll depend on you for everything. I'll stick to you like glue, so you'll never be able to shake me off."
"Don't worry. I wouldn't dream of shaking you off. I wish I could glue you to my side so you could never leave me, not even for a moment."
