"Honey, never be a prisoner of the past, it was just a lesson, not a life sentence...It's okay, Im alright now."
"You didn't mean for it to happen. We just need to be careful next time...."
Then she gave Ian a light kiss on his cheeks as she wiped his tears away.
"Thank you for telling me all this.. I forgive you. Don't be so hard on yourself."
"Don't dwell on what I said before, I was just being dumb Ian, I'm a coward for not acknowledging my feelings for you...
We can work together so you can be healed, there's no reason for us to not to see each other, I will feel really sad when that happens so please let me help. "
She coaxingly said then she flashed a sweet smile.
She's not doing it just because she pity him, but the thought of him being alone makes her feel so much pain and agony. It breaks her heart.
She knows how difficult it must be for him, how hard it is to accept your flaws and talk about it.
She admire Ian's courage for being honest with the reason for her fainting.
If he didn't tell her, she would be completely left out in the dark with the incident.
Hearing what she said, Ian's heart finally relaxed. It's as if a huge weight has been lifted off of his chest.
Ian looked at Tia so tenderly and adoringly.
"Tian-Tian, thank you for saving me back then, I didn't get to thank you properly before. Thank you for giving me hope and the will to survive that incident. Thank you."
Truth be told, he really felt that he would die in that forsaken place, but after that little cheeky girl Tian-Tian kissed his cheeks and declared that he's her "boyfriend" he didn't know why but he felt motivated to fight and stay alive.
He hold on until someone came to rescue him, and when he found out that it was her who sent that man, he finally relaxed.
He had put his trust in her and he felt glad that she didn't abandoned him.
Tia softly giggled hearing his cheesy lines. She stood up and went to the bedroom dragging Ian behind her.
"Say, CEO Lee, may I ask for a one week vacation?"
She playfully asked as they both lay down. These past few days have been an emotional roller coaster ride for the both of them. They could really use a holiday and enjoy themselves.
"As long as I'm with you then I approve it."
Ian replied then he kissed her.
"I love you Tian-Tian."
Ian said, looking at Tia with eyes full of love and care and devotion. As if she was his entire world.
"I love you too."
Tia replied, her heart was beating so fast due to euphoria and elation that she's feeling right now.
Indeed, there is only one happiness in life and that's to love and to be loved.
They shared a passionate kiss and things started to get hot and excited.
