Leo, always concerned about his image and wanting to maintain his aloof facade, couldn't bring himself to admit his true feelings. Despite feeling over the moon, he stubbornly claimed, "I was just impulsive that night." "Well, I don't care. You said it, and I agreed," Anya retorted, standing her ground. "I'm someone who keeps my word. If I agreed to be your girlfriend, I'm not backing down."

Feeling the gazes of curious onlookers, Leo hurriedly unlocked the passenger door. "Get in the car, quick."

Anya, beaming with joy, settled comfortably into the familiar passenger seat, watching Leo maneuver through traffic, her heart swelling with happiness.

Once back in the driver's seat, Leo glanced at Anya's cheerful face and teased, "You're grinning like a fool. Can't tell if you're laughing or crying." "Chad, I've missed you so much," Anya admitted openly.

Leo tried to feign annoyance, but his smile gave him away. "Just a few days apart and you already miss me? Women are such a handful."

Anya replied, "Chad, I know you're straightforward, so I'm not mad."

Starting the car, Leo drove towards his place.

On the way, he asked, "How did you get to school in the morning while I wasn't home?"

"My aunt and uncle dropped me off. I felt bad, so I planned to wake up early and take a cab. Chad, I've even found a cab driver who can wait for me outside our house every morning." Leo raised an eyebrow, "We have plenty of drivers at home. Can't they drop you off?"

"It's not the same," Anya countered, defiantly.

As they conversed, Anya mentioned, "Chad, I've already talked to my parents. I insisted on being with you, so we can get married now."

Leo slammed on the brakes, stopping the car abruptly at a traffic light, causing Anya to lurch forward. "What did you say?!"
