Truth be told, Cindy was just speaking on impulse. Sometimes, emotions really couldn't be controlled.
After she finished speaking, she felt that she had gone overboard.
Just as she was hesitating to take the ring from Charlie's hand, a big pair of hands had already grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into his arms.
"That's what you said!" Charlie spoke into her ear.
Cindy was stupefied. If it wasn't for his strong heartbeat in her ears, she would have thought that it was just a dream.
When she finally came to her senses, she felt a little awkward and pushed Charlie away.
"I-I'm leaving!"
"Where are you going?" Charlie grabbed her once again.
"You were the one who said that you liked me. You were also the one who wanted to be with me. You can't just leave as you wish now that I've fallen in love with you. That's irresponsible!" he continued.
Cindy was surprised by his words, "What did you just say?"
Charlie's brows knitted, "Why are you so stupid? Aren't I being clear enough? You've given me this custom-made ring, so you have made me your 'Only One'! Now that I can never find another wife, shouldn't you take responsibility for that?"
"I've told you I can explain it to the shopkeeper!"
Exasperated, Charlie said, "Cindy, you are such a fool. How many times do you want me to repeat myself? I'm willing to be stuck with you, forever! I don't want you to be with someone else!"
Cindy continued to pretend like she didn't understand him, "But, this isn't what you previously said!"
"That's because I didn't know..."
Charlie continued, "I was blind. I failed to notice that the woman I truly love was always by my side all this while. I only realized it when I finally lost you. Do you know how sad I was when I saw you with someone else? I don't want to lose you anymore, Cindy."
Suddenly, everyone around started to cheer and applaud. Only then did Cindy notice that she and Charlie had come under the spotlight in the airport.
She was extremely embarrassed. She struggled and said, "Let go of me!"
Charlie refused to let go, "No, I won't! If I do that, you'll run away with someone else!"
As he was saying that, he casted a cold glance at Ivan who was standing beside Cindy.
Ivan started trembling again as he thought to himself, "Out of the three of us here, I'm obviously the victim!"
He then said, "Th-This is just a misunderstanding. I swear I have nothing to do with Miss Cindy."
Charlie stared at him, looking more fierce, "What's wrong with Cindy? Why are you so quick to explain yourself?"
Ivan was confused, "It's really not what you think...Actually, we..."
"What do you mean by that? Then, can you explain the honeymoon vacation ticket you're holding? If you dare throw her away now, I swear I'll kill you!"
Ivan almost cried. "Then what if I don't?"
"I'll kill you too! How dare you go on a honeymoon vacation with her?! Cindy is mine!"
"Have mercy on me!" Ivan was already crying in his heart.
What a pitiful position he was in!
"Sir, may I say a few words before you kill me? It's really not what you think. Everything that has happened is just a coincidence. I promise you I'm telling the truth."
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Miss Cindy! Help me!" Ivan was so nervous that he almost betrayed Amos and spat out the truth that he was there for a task.
Fortunately, Cindy intervened.
"Actually, we really met by chance! He's telling the truth."
Only then did Charlie start to believe him. He asked, "Really?"
"What else could it be?" Cindy frowned.
"I believe you!" Charlie stepped forward and took Cindy into his arms.
Ivan heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's great! Here, you can have this ticket! It hasn't been registered yet. You can just go over there and get it registered under your name."
Charlie held the ticket in his hand and looked at Cindy.
