Walters · Answer 2

He will try to win her love for as long as they are both alive.

Explanation:

He doesn't care about how reluctant she is. As long as they both exist, meaning, as long as they are both alive, it is enough for him to chase her. He will never give up on her love, because he will love her always and pursue her for as long as it is possible.
