"Are you going to accept your own feelings?" These are the words Ava heard him say at the end when her heart already couldn't handle it at all, especially after the previous things he had said to her.

This came out as unexpected to her, as he was directly asking her how she felt about him.

"W-What s-should I say?"

She had already confirmed him as her husband; however, she wasn't confessing her feelings because today was the day she had fallen for him. It felt too sudden, but when Aiden himself was directly asking her about this, how could she deny it?

Aiden could see she was having a little difficulty, and he understood that it must have felt too sudden for her. However, he wasn't going to give up because he could feel that just a little more, and she would tell him everything.

Without wasting any more time, he, already standing very close to her while holding both her small hands in his own, let go of her hands and embraced her small body, completely wrapping his arms around her and pulling her into a hug.

He said in a loving voice,

"It's alright, Ava. You don't have to hold back at all; let it all out. I would love it if you did that."

Ava, feeling his sudden hug, melted even further. And now, after listening to the last sentence coming out of his mouth, all her previous worries washed away. She was ready to confess all her feelings to him right now.

She didn't wait long; her face was now buried in his chest as he hugged her. She first smelled his natural scent for a few seconds to gather her courage. Even though she realized that Aiden also had feelings for her, the idea of confessing still scared her a little bit.

The addicting rosy scent coming from his body helped calm her mind.

After calming herself completely, Ava, still burying her face in his chest while tightly wrapping her arms around him, said in a meek voice,

"I-I am in l-love with y-you, Leader!"

"D-Do you a-also feel t-the same?"

In one breath, Ava said it all, as the blush on her face turned into a deep shade of crimson.

'I have really done it.'

'I really told him how I feel.'

She could have never even imagined she would fall in love with someone just a couple of hours ago, and right after that, she would confess her feelings to him. Everything felt so natural to her.

Her little body was shaking in his arms with fear and excitement after letting her heart out in the open and confessing to him.

Aiden, feeling her nervousness, slowly started to gently rub her back to make her feel much more relaxed. Just as he intended, the shaking in her body lessened quite a bit, though it didn't completely go away.

He felt honored and delighted to hear her confession. But even when she confessed her feelings toward him, she didn't forget to address him as a "Leader."

'I have to make it more memorable for her.'

He knew this moment would never come again for her, and she wanted a romantic memory of this event, which would likely change her destiny.

'But I have to reply to her.'

Because he knew that if he kept her waiting too long, it wouldn't be good for her little heart.

He replied to her in a passionate and calm voice,

"I also feel the same about you, Ava."

Ava didn't know what to say or how to act after knowing he also loved her the way she loved him. She was feeling too much happiness today—her life had become much better after coming out of the Tier 3 city, but she still couldn't remember the last time she had felt this happy.

Other than the General, whom she deeply respected, and her sister Isla, whom she cared about most in the world—she didn't have anyone else.

She felt good when she was with her sister. However, what she was feeling currently surpassed everything she had ever felt.

'This is different—nothing can compare to this.'

A silent tear escaped her eyes as she tightened her hug around him. But due to the armor he was wearing, Aiden couldn't feel that she had cried a little.

Aiden, feeling her hug tighten and seeing the shakiness in her body completely gone, felt much better now. But he wasn't done yet.

He used one of his hands to lift her face slightly so that she could look him in the eyes.

However, just when he looked at her face, he could see traces of tears coming from her light brown eyes while her face had a deep shade of crimson.

Her face looked irresistible to him. The thought of wanting to tease her a little appeared in his mind, but he quickly erased it, knowing that if he really tried to tease her now, she would likely start crying, seeing how vulnerable she was right now.

He wasn't going to ask her why she was crying earlier, knowing it must be because of her intense emotions. So, he only gently wiped the tears from her beautiful face with his hands and said with a loving smile on his face,

"My dear Ava, shouldn't you look me in the eyes when you tell me your feelings? And also, you're still calling me Leader."

He continued in a low tone,

"Looks like my Ava doesn't love me that much."

Only after hearing what he called her, Ava was on cloud nine. Her love for him was overflowing now. She couldn't even tell how much she loved him, and she realized there was no going back for her. This didn't bother her at all and only made her even happier.

A brilliant smile appeared on her crimson-red face, and now she started to directly look into his eyes without even caring about the words he had said to her, showing her love for him through her eyes.

But she was still listening to everything he was saying.

However, after hearing what he said, her heart tightened in her chest.

'How can he say I don't love him that much?'

'I love him the most in the world right now.'

'I shouldn't have been a coward when confessing my feelings to him.'

'I-I s-shouldn't have m-made such a h-huge m-mistake.'

Her mind was in disarray as she didn't even realize that Aiden only wanted her to say she loved him while looking directly into his eyes—saying his name.

A lost and depressed look appeared on her face as she didn't know what to do now.

Aiden, seeing the sudden change in her expression after asking her to confess to him again, could see the lost look in her eyes and feel her sudden depression.

'Ugh, why is every woman I fall in love with stranger than the last?'

'Well, who cares? She's mine now. It's my responsibility to take care of her.'

Aiden was about to console her and explain what he meant earlier. However, before he could say anything, he heard something even stranger.
