"What?" Aileen is puzzled, she gazes at Aaron weirdly, she looks a bit hopeful and she doesn't even
notice it herself.
Aaron is going to say something when he suddenly notices that she is in a formal dress, her white and
smooth shoulder exposed, his heart tickles. He then takes off his jacket impatiently and puts it over her
shoulder.
"You're wearing so little even when it's so cold."
Aileen feels happy hearing him even though he is scolding her.
"I thought you have something important to tell me, are you here to chew me out instead, telling me
that my dress is too exposing?" Aileen feels a bit bummed out, hence she purposely teases him.
Aaron can't think of a good comeback, he then says, "I always thought that I like to fool around and
women are nothing to me, but I felt it the moment I knew about your engagement, I think I really like
you. I was never willing to admit it all these times because you are also fooling around with other guys
all the time."
"Does this count as a confession? Why does it feel like I'm getting reprimanded instead?" Aileen is
agonized and upset after hearing him.
Aileen isn't expecting this, she thinks that maybe he is just fooling around as always. But upon hearing
him she feels happy, images of Aaron come flashing in her mind. She was elated too when Richard
proposed to her back then, but the feeling of happiness is different in this regard.
She has made her decision, her love towards Richard is just gratefulness and admiration, he rescued
her before and hence she thinks that she likes him. But with Aaron, things can be more down-to-earth,
maybe he is the one that she can entrust her life with instead.
"I am confessing to you, I'm sincerely telling you how I felt for all these times," Aaron is getting
excitable, which is natural, as the words flowing out of his mouth are feelings that he has been hiding
for a very long time.
"How should I know if you're being serious or not, how should I know if this is not another one of your
pranks? You prank me all the time."Aileen is happy but she isn't prepared to fully believe him.
"What can I do for you to trust me?" Aaron becomes jittery, he confesses but she doesn't believe him,
he feels dejected.
Aileen looks him up and down, "You have a lot of scandals surrounding you, there's also always a
bunch of women around you, how would I know if you would never…"
At this moment, Aaron can't hold it in anymore, he forced a kiss on Aileen's lips.
If his words cannot reach her, then his action can speak louder than words
It isn't Aileen's first kiss but she feels ecstatic, she then kisses him back deeply.
It feels like they are the only two people left in the world, the happiness she is looking for is always just
right next to her.
They kiss for a very long time and finally let go longingly.
"Aileen, do you believe me now?" Aaron gazes at her fondly, Aileen suddenly chuckles. Aaron is
confused, "What are you laughing at?"
"It's just that I've never seen you so serious before, and that you actually confessed to me in the
washroom," Aileen covers her mouth and chuckles continuously.
Aaron feels awkward, "I'm doing this for you, after tonight you'll become another person's woman, that
cannot happen, I will go crazy."
"Why didn't you tell me sooner if you like me so much?" Before this, Aileen thought that they couldn't
stand each other's guts and that they would never be together.
"You never gave me a chance. I also only just realized my feelings recently, you stole my heart away,
you thief," Aaron complains but he proceeds to hug her in his arms.
Aileen is all immersed in happiness when she suddenly remembers something, she immediately
pushes him away. Aaron is baffled, he asks, "What's wrong?"
Aileen's expression is heavy and serious, the jubilation from just now has now disappeared.
"I'm sorry, we cannot be together," it only just occurs to Aileen that she is already engaged to Richard,
how can she just call it off like that?
"Is it because of your engagement with Richard? Well, it's just an engagement, we are truly in love with
each other and I trust that we can overcome anything in our way, "Aaron inches closer to her and
clasps her hand tightly, but she pushes his hand away again.
"It is not that simple," Aileen feels like her head is about to explode.
"Why? I confessed to you and you kissed me back, that's enough to show that we loved each other.
Just tell him the truth," Aaron continues saying.
"We can also run away together, I am willing to let go of everything just to be with you," Aaron goes all
out, he cannot bear the thought of the woman he loves being with another man.
Aileen is shocked, she can't believe that Aaron is saying something like that, she is deeply moved, but
she is still hesitant.
"Are you really going to give up on your acting career just like this? You just received a major role in a
good movie, no? Do you really want to kill your career like this?" Aileen thinks that it is impossible that
Aaron will give up everything for her.
"Back then, I was a cold person. But now, I only want to be with you, I am willing to throw away
everything else," Aaron says decisively.
His every word deeply move Aileen.
"You…" Aileen's eyes are filled with tears, "Why are you suddenly so nice to me?"
