Alex turned to see Amelia rushing towards him, her face alight with joy. She threw her arms around him, her embrace tight and filled with emotion.
"You're back!" she exclaimed, her voice choked with tears of relief. "I was so worried..."
Alex hugged her back, his own eyes stinging with unshed tears. "I'm okay," he reassured her, his voice gentle. "I'm back, and I'm not going anywhere."
"Hey... I saw the news that you've become the number one strongest mankind... so..." Amelia blushed, hesitating to say the word 'marriage'.
Alex chuckled and nodded. "Yes, yes, I'm a man of my word. We'll get married, as I promised."
Amelia's face lit up with a radiant smile. "Really?" she asked, her voice filled with a mix of joy and disbelief.
Alex nodded, his own smile mirroring hers. "Really," he confirmed, taking her hand in his. "I meant every word."
