Chapter 52

I stared at Oscar, shocked. When did he learn how to speak like that? The people around us were completely smitten by his pitiful look and were moved by his speech.

I really felt like a villain. If I refused to accept Oscar's proposal, wouldn't that make me a 'real' villain?

"Oscar, I... I..." I bit my lip, feeling regretful. I just didn't know what to say.

"I'm ready to wait till you fully open your heart to me so," he kissed my hand and rested his cheek on it. "...can you give me a chance to make you fall for me?"

That was it! There were no more words needed. I nodded and covered my mouth feeling teary all of a sudden.

"Yes!" I said and everyone cheered. The lights came back on as I helped him to his feet. "You're too much!" I said and our eyes locked.

It was as if everything around us had slowed down. The noice was no longer heard, only the beating of our hearts.

"Are...are you okay?" I asked with a slightly flushed face. He hugged me.
