Chapter 16

Eun's POV

Singapore is also a tropical country like the Philippines, however, Philippines is warmer than Singapore and I am not used to such a warm weather. Fortunately, air conditioner existed. It helps life to be comfortable than decades ago.

I know that our life is more comfortable than a normal household, there are times that I wish to live like a normal citizen. A life where you can enjoy simple way of life, away from hypocrisy of people, away from all the stress I experience from dealing with ladies who have "princess syndrome" and people who are members of the elite society who loves to brag with each other.

After finishing what is to be done, I closed my laptop and put back all the documents in my briefcase. I took my phone in the bedside table and open my spotify app to play a song that will lull me to sleep.

As Long As You Love Me by Backstreet Boys

" Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine

I'm leavin' my life in your hands

People say I'm crazy and that I am blind

Risking it all in a glance

And how you got me blind is still a mystery

I can't get you out of my head

Don't care what is written in your history

As long as you're here with meh

I don't care who you are

Where you're from

What you did

As long as you love me

Who you are

Where you're from

Don't care what you did

As long as you love me

Every little thing that you have said and done

Feels like it's deep within me

Doesn't really matter if you're on the run

It seems like we're meant to be

I don't care who you are (who you are)

Where you're from (where you're from)

What you did

As long as you love me (I don't know)

Who you are (who you are)

Where…"

After playing I put it back in my bedside table and close my eyes to start my journey to my dreamland.

Eric's POV

After the dinner, I send Yen back to her condo before I drove myself back to my place. Although, I have been wanting to sleep by her side and spend the night with her, the situation we are in right now won't let us. We both have a very hectic schedule and we can only have free day on weekend.

I can't wait for Saturday to come but for now, we can only rely on video call or messages. I understand that we are doing this for our future and for the unborn children that we planned to have when we get married. Speaking of marriage, like what I said, I am planning to propose to her on our ninth anniversary.

I already asked our family and friends to help me plan and prepare for that day. To be honest, the owner of the cruise ship that we are going to use is one of our friends who specialize in water and air vehicles. He is Yan Lin, an marine engineer and he also studies aeronautics. He is a traveller that is why he wants to market something that can help him travel around the globe.

He is also the oldest in our group, he is twenty eight years old and is a candidate for the top 10 Best Bachelor Businessmen of the Elite's Magazine. Elite Magazine is one of the big and famous magazine company in the world.

I also asked Hannah Lim, also a friend of ours, she is twenty six years old, she is one of the famous event planner in Korea. She is the owner of Fête, a shop that handles everything for any kind of occasions. I asked her help to organize for a party and design the place and invite the guests.

The guest list would include all the important people in our lives. I asked Hannah to make it a masquerade so Yen won't recognize the attendees of the party. It would be a proposal and engagement party and anniversary party for us. Triple celebration that is why I have been working hard to have enough to spend for the event.

I am also the one who will pay for the travel expenses and food allowances of the guests. I will basically pay for everything. That's how much I love her, to the point that I will spend a fortune for her, I don't mind to lose everything as long as she will stay with me.

Everything is almost ready, whenever she decided to have the wedding ceremony, we can do it. The plan for the wedding, I will let her handle it together with our mom because I know that girls have their dream weddings. The marital house that we will be staying after marriage is almost finish, that house is enough for a big family that we are planning to build. It is also a kid friendly and complete with the amenities that we need.

I already asked our parents' permission before I went through with my plans. Even though we are both in the legal age and can be wed anytime we want, it is still different if we have the elders' permission.

All I want is to have a wonderful life with her and our big happy family. I want to grow old with her, for better or for worse and in sickness or in health, as long as we are together, I am contented with it. I want a harmonious married life with her like our parents, especially my mom and my dad's relationship that even if they are both busy, they make sure that they catch up with each other's life and they won't forget to show their love for each other even for a simple gesture.

I know that married life is tough and a lot of changes will be done. We will experience more challenges and problems to tests us, teach us lessons in life and mold us for a better version of ourselves. We will make tough decisions, but I am sure and I believe that we can surpass everything. As long as we work together, understand one another, keeping the love and trust that we have for each other and stay to be loyal, nothing will break us apart.
