That night, Charlos helped Rissa to get her things from the hotel. They moved to another hotel.
Charlos and Rissa had dinner in the hotel room.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Rissa asked while wiping her lips with a tissue.
Charlos lowered his folded hands and then straightened up. I'm just glad to see you. When will I ever see you like this again?
"You've seen me eat before."
"Yes." Charlos cleared his throat. "We've been apart for almost a year, and when we meet again, you're in for a disaster. So, to be able to have dinner with you like this feels really great. If only I could have dinner with you every day."
Rissa looked down at her head. "I..."
"You don't have to think about it anymore. I won't force you to accept my love. You can get into trouble like this because of my fault too. Michael Kawijayan just wants to take his revenge on me. He deliberately tortured you to make me suffer. I'm sorry, Rissa."
