Gia continued, "Luckily, Neil was out of danger. Though I felt great remorse... I also developed a special feeling for him." When she talked about this, Gia couldn't help but blush.

Jovannie laughed again. However, she didn't seize the chance to tease Gia. It was rare to see Gia so shy.

"What happens after?"

"Once he recovered, I... Ahem, I confessed to him!" Although she was shy, Gia still answered with pride. "I don't care if I was the first to confess, I've decided to love him, and I won't regret it! Even if I'll do, I won't miss the chance to love!"

"Do you know? Neil's tanned face was covered in red! It was supposed to be such a tense and awkward atmosphere, but I couldn't help laughing at his face. He even blamed me for killing the mood. Also... he was thinking of confessing to me-that was his first time confessing to someone, but I beat him to it. Since then, we're a couple!"

After listening to Gia's story, Jovannie felt happy and sweet for her.

However, Gia also brought up her worries.

"After we've been together for two months, he somehow learned of my identity. I thought that he would cower away from me, but he told me that he would give me happiness for the rest of my life. Later, I only knew that he started accepting various missions in secret from his subordinates. Though I persuaded him to stop, he promised that he would treat me better."

At this point, Gia had an angry and helpless look in her eyes. "He even gave me all his cards. If I didn't learn about his secret, I believe he'll continue to take on dangerous missions. When I saw the new scars on his body, I was really distressed! I explained that my identity wasn't something to show off. No matter what others thought of my family, I loved them forever. He was also the one I loved, so how could I bear to see him suffer? That was the first time I cried in front of him. I never regarded myself as someone special. Even if I didn't have such a glorious background, I'm still Gia!"

"When he saw me cry, Neil was shocked. He kept apologizing and promising me that he wouldn't do anything dangerous again, nor would he be affected by the rumors. He also stated that he loved me as who I am. He didn't want me to suffer and only wished to give me the best. Since then, we were honest with each other."

Hearing the twists and turns in Gia's relationship, Jovannie heaved a sigh of relief. Thankfully, the couple's conflict was resolved.

"Last month, he proposed to me! He said that I had the right to reject him. He would always wait for me even if he got married in the future. But you know... the moment he got down on one knee, I knew that he was the one, so I agreed."

Jovannie said sincerely, "I believe you've thought about this through, Gia. I trust your heart and eyes. I'm so happy and proud of you. I wished you happiness forever."

Not many people had the courage to save those children in the war like Gia.

Moreover, she was brave and active when it came to love.

Hearing Jovannie's compliment, Gia showed a proud smile. But when she thought about Neil and her brothers, she couldn't help worrying.

She could imagine that the situation must be tensed and grim. Neil must be facing a lot of pressure.

However, she was certain that the men wouldn't fight each other.

Jovannie understood Gia's concern and comforted her, "Don't worry, Gia. We know how your brothers are. As long as Neil loves and dotes on you, they'll respect your choices. They just want to test him. After all, you're their loveliest sister in the world. They can't bear to hand you over to another man."

At the same time, Luke looked at Neil expressionlessly.

His brothers wouldn't speak before he uttered a word.

Unknown to Jovannie and Gia, the four men were staring at each other wordlessly instead of engaging in a heated argument. The air was so tensed that it seemed to freeze.

A person could feel the intense pressure from one of the Miller men, let alone three. Moreover, the brothers deliberately sat together and emitted a low aura.

However, Neil remained calm and composed from the very beginning.

In truth, Luke, Zac, and Eden actually had a good impression of him. Instead of being a coward, Neil confronted them with confidence.
