"What? No... ceremony?.."

Alex shouted at Crystal with his wide-open eyes after what Crystal said. She said she'll just have a registry marriage, no ceremony.

Rayan pressed his lips together and took a glance at Crystal innocently who was sitting beside him on the bed as if trying to say something but didn't have the courage to spill it out, afraid she'll get angry.

As Crystal nodded, Alex, crossed his arms and shook his head thoughtfully. "I have an objection." He narrowed his gaze at Crystal and then at Rayan.

Crystal sighed. "Alex, I have a six years old daughter. I'm her mother. What will people think?"

Rayan now opened his mouth, glaring at her. "From when did you start to think about people? You are being unfair. I want to see you in a bridal dress." He said in a demanding tone.

A wide smile appeared on Alex's face, he showed Rayan his thumb up. "Okay, dude. You're in my team.

    "Why should I lie?" Finally, a voice came out of Alex's mouth. He looked at Rayan who was looking at him calmly. "You know it. I liked her. No, actually I loved her." Alex said with his expressionless eyes that made Rayan chuckled."Alex!" Crystal glared at him, she thought he was joking. But no, when she looked at his eyes, her face went pale. He wasn't joking.Alex heaved a deep sigh and turned his head to Crystal. "I'm not joking. You were too blind to notice that! I really did. A past tense. But... not in high school. It was when you gave birth to Anne. I don't know how that happened when I knew it clearly that you'll never be mine. I tried to move on silently. Because you'll not love me. Because I don't have a secret like Rayan. I'm Christian! I do still love you. But..." He paused.Taking a glance at Rayan, he continued. "But I can't love you the way Rayan does. His love for you will beat anyone's love in this world. I swear i

She quickly put some rice on his plate and then curries. Alex's face went puzzled. He was full! Crystal winked at him before looking at Rayan who was sitting beside her. "Thank me later."

The one to find both rings first wins the round- and bragging rights for the rest of their married life. They say whoever finds both rings will have the upper hand in the marriage."

    Crystal parked the car in front of the Han river park and took her phone from her purse before getting down from the car. It's still dark, and so cold. She wrapped her scarf around her and rolled her eyes around.The pathway was dense with rows of cherry blossom trees.

Obviously, who will come here now?Her phone beeped. She opened the chat on her phone.From: RayanWalk straight and then turn your left.Crystal sighed, inhaling the cool spring air, the fresh scent of flowers passing through her lips and into her lungs.The petals were almost covering the ground in irregular clusters.
