"Does that mean that you're planning to pursue me now? I'm letting you know that I'm not that easy." Anna tried to tease him back.

"Woah. I wonder how you can be so confident? I just talked about philosophy, and somehow you linked it to how much I wanted to marry you?" Noel looked at her as if he was disgusted.

"It is not that simple. What I wish to do is something that comes with a huge price… I'm not going to let someone shoulder that burden for no reason." Noel shook his head. "I have my own responsibilities, you know."

Anna smiled. "As expected of Noel Ardagan, I guess?"

"I have a lot of time. Besides, I might have a question and we can even create a road map about everything that has happened so far, connecting the dots."

"Haha. Do you know it will take at least a week to do that?"
