Athena was at a loss for words. She was overwhelmed by Vladimir's sincere words. She thought after her failed marriage with Dominique, she couldn't open her heart once again to someone.
But now, Vladimir was doing his best, showing her the importance of loving someone again. It might be different from her feelings toward Dominique, but at least she was willing to try again with Vladimir.
'Dominique is only part of my past. Now, I can finally move forward and accept Vladimir wholeheartedly.' Athena thought to herself, her eyes tearing up.
She accepted the flowers from Vladimir and brought them close to her nose.
"Thank you, V… for patiently waiting for me. I was so focused on my revenge that I tried to ignore your feelings. But now, I have no reason to avoid it. I'm so grateful for your love. You made me feel so special."
Athena turned around to face him. She reached out, cupping his face.
