"I don't know since when you started to enter my mind, making me think of you day and night. Anya, I am willing to live forever with you and die beside you. That day, when you saved me, I vowed to give my whole life to make you happy."

When she heard this, Anya had tears in her eyes.

​​

She once told Aiden when he was still in a coma that she had recalled their past. She remembered the time she got kidnapped together with Aiden.

She remembered how Aiden had protected her from those people. Willing to take all the punches and kicks from those bad guys just to protect Anya.

She remembered when she saved Aiden and warmed him with her body.

She remembered when Aiden took her out of the room and tried to save her.

After Aiden woke up, Anya never brought up the matter again. She also doubted whether it was just a mere dream or a repressed memory of something that really happened in the past.

But Aiden's words made her even more convinced that indeed, they had met before.

And fate brought them back together now…

"Destiny will always bring us together. Maybe you're part of me, the woman destined for me. I'll fight the whole world just to be with you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, take care of you and love you. I want to spend my last day holding your hand, sharing the warmth with you. Will you live this life together with me?" Aiden asked sincerely.

Previously, he told Harris that he was too embarrassed to propose to Anya. He couldn't put together good words, like how Nico proposed to Tara.

But while kneeling before Anya, all the words naturally came out of his mouth. That sentence came from the deepest part of his heart.

Maybe it's true what Harris said, everything would run smoothly as long as he trusted his heart.

Diana was moved as she witnessed all this. "Anya, have you ever asked me why I accepted Aiden after he talked to me as soon as I woke up from a coma? Aiden told me about your kidnapping incident. He really is a man who is willing to do whatever it takes to protect the woman he loves. As a mother, there is nothing you need to doubt about Aiden's love for you," said Diana.

After that, a faint sound of music could be heard. It was Shane Filan's song, 'Beautiful in White', played in a melodious piano chime.

"So as long as I live, I will always love you and hold you close. You look so beautiful in white. And from now, til 'my very last breath, I'll always cherish you. You look so beautiful in white. Tonight…"

For the first time in her life, Anya heard Aiden's voice while he sang a song for her.

Anya could hear the stiffness in the man's voice, it was clear that Aiden wasn't used to singing like this. But his voice sounded sweet and warm to her ears, like a cup of warm chocolate on a rainy day.

"Our love is timeless, my love is endless. And with this ring I say to the world. You're my every reason, you're all that I believe in. With all my heart, I mean every word. So as long as I live, I will love you and I will keep holding you. You look so beautiful in white. And from now til 'my very last breath, I'll cherish the day I met you. You look so beautiful in white. Tonight…" After singing it, Aiden looked at Anya with a smile. "Anya, marry me!"

Anya was speechless. She received flowers from Aiden and stretched out her hand.

Aiden immediately welcomed her hand and put the diamond ring on her finger. Then, he rose from the ground.

Anya felt that Nico's proposal to Tara was memorable in its own way. The proposal felt funny with Tara proposing her own conditions. Meanwhile, Aiden's proposal was more romantic. The man even knelt down and sang to her.

Actually, a proposal like this was not something very important to Anya.

But she just didn't want Aiden to feel that he could get her easily, without having to bother chasing her and proposing to her like other men.

She was worried that Aiden would no longer appreciate her someday.

She wanted Aiden to experience how complicated it could be to win a woman's heart. From meeting, getting closer and finally proposing. That way, the man would also learn to respect others.

This proposal was just her little wish as a woman, a desire to be appreciated by the man she loved.

Anya was really touched by Aiden's proposal. But even without this proposal, Anya knew how much Aiden loved her.

Aiden's extraordinary love made her unable to stop crying.

The man carried her with a smile and then kissed the tears streaming down her face, as if trying to calm a sulking child. "Are you happy or sad? Why are you crying like this?"

Anya reached out and hugged Aiden tightly, "Can you sing for me again?"

Diana and Hana were seen smiling broadly at the happiness of this couple, as did Nadine.

"I am deeply moved. I want to cry, but I'm afraid my make-up will be ruined and I'll be ugly later," Nadine waved her hands trying to fan her face and took a deep breath to hold back her tears.

"Impossible. Even if your make-up wears off, you are still beautiful," Harris stepped forward and embraced Nadine's shoulder.

Nadine leaned her head on Harris' shoulder and let her tears flow. She tried to wipe away the tears, but unfortunately the eyeliner on her eyes had worn off. If there was a mirror in front of her, she might've screamed so loudly.

"Do you think I'm still beautiful?" Nadine asked, looking at Harris.

"Beautiful," Harris lowered his head and stole a kiss from Nadine's lips when no one else looked their way. "Let's clean up and go home."

Diana went home first to rest and Hana immediately helped to tidy up. While arranging for the servants to clean up the garden, she said to Nadine and Harris, "You two must be tired too. Hurry home and rest. Let me take care of it."

"It's okay. If done together, everything will be finished faster," Nadine said as she continued to move her hands nimbly.

Hana really liked her. Although she was the daughter of the Atmajaya family, she was not arrogant and did not think of Harris' family as lower than her.

But Hana was actually worried that the Atmajaya Family wouldn't be able to accept her son.

After all, Nadine was a member of the Atmajaya Family.

Maria was the one who raised her since childhood, so that Nadine could grow up into an elegant and classy woman. One day, she would marry into a rich family and become a socialite.

Nadine and Harris looked very harmonious when standing side by side, but unfortunately their backgrounds were simply incomparable.

This was the first time Hana thought of a heartless man— Harris' father. If the Atmajaya family disagreed with the relationship between Nadine and her son, should she come to Harris' father?

For the sake of her son's happiness, even though she had to meet the man she hated, Hana wouldn't waste a chance.

"Mother, what are you thinking? I called you several times," Harris patted his mother gently on the shoulder. "It's late. Nadine and I are going home first. You also need to rest."

"You guys be careful on the road," Hana smiled at them.

"Good bye, Mrs. Hana!" Nadine waved her hand with a smile and then walked away holding Harris' hand.

The man's house was not far from Aiden's so they went home on foot, hands intertwined.

On the way home, Nadine told Harris irritably, "Harris, don't tell my aunt. Today, Iris released a new product and it's the perfume that aunt made during the competition. But Keara also released her perfume at one-third the price so visitors preferred to buy from her store."

"Keara won second place in the competition. You can't blame her. This is a marketing strategy," Harris said calmly.

"But they shouldn't do that. They made a perfume similar to my aunt's perfume and deliberately lowered the price. Iris sales were very bad today. If my aunt finds out that her perfume is not selling well, she will definitely be disappointed," Nadine said with the same disappointment.

"Don't worry. Madam isn't someone who will give up just because of a small matter like this. She had experienced difficult times during her career. She will find her way." Then, Harris turned to Nadine and asked, "Has Keara returned to Indonesia?"
