Chapter 60

Oscar stared at me with astonishment. Bet he didn't expect me to confess so simply. Maybe he didn't believe me.

"Don't tease me!" Of course he was in disbelief. I chuckled.

"Believe me, I'm serious!" I said. "I really love you and I did for a long time but kept trying to deny it for so many reasons." I looked aside.

"Reasons?"

"I wasn't sure I was suited for a perfect man like you and I was also in love with someone else at the time. It was better to let you go and not let anyone get hurt. But now," I looked into his eyes. "...I can say it without hesitation or a single thought of regret. I love you!"

Oscar immediately hugged me. I could hear his heartbeat. It was fast and at the same time, lovely. It made mine warm.

"You...you don't know how much I wanted to hear these words from you. I wanted to be the only man in your life. The only man to stand by your side for the rest of your life."
