"Let me help you with that." Stanley stood up.

Stanley offering to help with clearing the table was something Tia did not see coming. She was so shocked that she

almost dropped the plates she was holding.

"It's fine. I can do it myself," Tia declined, figuring that it would be inappropriate to let Stanley wash any of the

dishes.

"Don't worry. I can help." Stanley said, holding the dirty cutleries and plates as he made his way to the kitchen.

Seeing that, Tia could only follow him from behind. "Just leave them there. I'll wash them."

Stanley, however, did not leave when he saw Tia rolling her sleeves up to wash the dishes. Instead, he simply

stayed put and stared at her.

Naturally, his gaze made Tia feel uneasy, which in turn made her clumsy. Even the clattering of the dishes in the

sink became louder as she inadvertently struck them against one another. Stanley, however, was nothing short of

happy. He could not help but smile upon hearing the clinking of the dishes.

'If we ever get together in the future, will our home look just like this?' he wondered to himself.

"Are you done, Tia?" Stanley asked.

"Yeah, l-l am," Tia stuttered, overwhelmed with nerves now.

After putting the dishes back in place, Tia wiped her hands and said, "They're all done now."

"Come with me then." Stanley grabbed Tia's hand and led her to the yard.

"l-ls there something that matters?" Tia's face flushed, her voice lowering to a faint whisper.

Her heart was racing as she did not expect Stanley to grab her hand and hold it just like that.

After a brief stroll, Stanley stopped, but he did not let go of Tia's hand.

Instead, he lowered his gaze and looked at her earnestly. "I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" Tia asked without the courage to look him in the eye, feeling inexplicably nervous.

Taking a deep breath, Stanley's gaze softened into an affectionate stare, and without so much as a second of

hesitation, he gently asked, " Would you like to be my girlfriend?"

"What?!" Tia raised her head in astonishment, looking at Stanley as her mind blanked out for a moment.

'What did he just say?! Did I mishear, or was it real?' she panicked.

"There's something I've been keeping to myself for a long time, and now, I feel that I must come clean and say it to

you." Stanley held onto Tia's hand tightly, his gaze intense

and solemn as he looked Tia in the eyes. "I like you."

Tia's mouth was wide open when she realized that she had in fact not misheard him. She was speechless and did

not know how to respond. If anything, she felt as if she could not muster a single sound.

"I've liked you for a long time, but I thought you had someone else in your heart, so..." Stanley clarified, since he

had already come this far in his confession.

Upon hearing Stanley's words, Tia immediately shook her head in denial. "No, there’s no one else in my heart."

After she had told him the truth, a realization dawned upon her, and her cheeks turned even redder.

Stanley immediately hugged her when he saw her trying to explain herself even when she was anxious and shy.

"I'm sorry. It's all my fault."

If he had not misunderstood her and jumped to the hasty conclusion that she had someone else in her heart, he

would not have made her wait for so long. Perhaps they could have been together much earlier.

"No, you didn't do anything wrong to me," Tia explained in a hurry, not understanding why Stanley would say that.

He had not done anything wrong, at least not to her.

"I'm really sorry. I was an idiot." He shook his head.

Standing up straight with his hands on Tia's shoulders, Stanley looked at her seriously. "It's my mistake. I thought

you liked Martin, so I figured I would just stick around and look out for you in secret."

However, little did he realize that five years had passed, and yet there was still no progress between Tia and Martin.

Indeed, he had made a huge blunder assuming that Tia had her eyes on Martin.
