She looked up at him with determination and asked again, “I don't know! Mark, tell me honestly, over these years, have you ever thought of me? What kind of feelings do you have for me? Is my love for you one-sided, or do you love me as much as I love you?"

Although her voice quivered, she managed to express what was on her mind. She thought she was ready to hear his answer.

As long as Mark loved her, she was willing to give up everything. Hearing her question, Mark gently caressed her head, just as he had many years ago.

Cecilia stared at him with unwavering determination.

He understood precisely what she was asking for. She sought his love as a woman desired a man's love and she did not want him to see her as a little girl anymore. She also did not want him to see her as a responsibility to take care of because of her virginity that he had accidentally taken away. That was what she longed for.

Finally, Mark responded softly, “Cecilia, I never loved anyone before I met you. I admit I've admired beautiful women, but I've never fallen in love with anyone, I was even prepared to remain single in my whole life. But you're different. You've changed the course of my life. Cecilia, I can't quantify how much I love you. But if love could be measured, I believe my love for you would be off the charts."

Hearing his confession, Cecilia couldn't hold back her tears,

Since the time he had brought her milk tea on set, she had resolved not to allow him to deceive her again.

For their love to flourish, they needed equality.

After expressing his feelings, Mark sighed, willing to accept me?" ‘And what about you? Are you

As she continued to gaze at him, Cecilia noticed that he was still as handsome as ever.

Although there were a few more lines on his face, she remained captivated by his mature and irresistible masculinity.

She knew that many women also Liked that.

"Yes, I am," she replied softly.

After a brief pause, she emphasized again, “Mark, I am willing." Nark stood up and gently held her.

With excitement and sadness swirling in his mind, after a moment, he said, “I'LL propose to you in the coming days, alright?"

Mark mentioned that he would visit Cecilia's family to propose marriage.

While Cecilia was elated, as she grew older, she also retained some of her female reserve.

So, she responded vaguely, “What does it have to do with me if you go to propose marriage?"

After saying this, Cecilia felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head, pretending to play with her phone.

Mark gazed at her silently for a moment.

Then, he whispered, “You're the only daughter in your family. Don't you think it's your concern when I propose marriage?"
