Chapter 2488

Anox turned around to look at Teresa. She had not left; instead, she stood there, staring blankly at him. Their eyes met, and at that moment, fireworks lit up the sky. Bright, dazzling explosions illuminated the street, casting light on the two of them. Anox's lips moved as if he were trying to say something, but with the noise from the fireworks and the distance between them, Teresa could not hear him.

Seeing that she did not respond, Anox ran over to her.

Teresa asked half-jokingly, "W-What is it? Are you here to take your scarf back?"

"No!" Anox replied with a serious expression. "Teresa, I have something to say to you."

"Okay, go ahead."

Anox, who had been hiding something behind his back, suddenly revealed a bouquet of beautiful flowers.

"Teresa..."

Seeing the gesture, Teresa immediately understood what Anox was trying to do. Her heart raced with panic. Just as she was about to turn and flee, Anox firmly grabbed her hand.

"Teresa!"

"Huh?" Teresa's face flushed red. Her eyes revealed happiness, but she was still nervous inside.

Anox shouted, "Maybe I'm self-centered and a bit stubborn. My temper isn't the best either. I'm not like Kalo, who's liked by everyone, and I'm weak and insecure...

"I... I haven't done much in life that's worth remembering, except the moments I share with you...

"I'm a complete fool. All this time, I've avoided facing myself, and I've avoided facing you. I'm terrified that I'll lose you without even realizing it... So... So..."

Teresa's eyes widened as she listened.

As his voice was strained and full of emotion, Anox shouted, "Please stay by my side and help this useless guy!"

At that moment, joy flooded Teresa's face, but she still asked with a smile, "What is this supposed to be?"

"It's a love confession!" Anox replied.

Teresa chuckled softly. "That's a funny way to confess... You said so much, but I hardly understood any of it."

"I... I..." Anox lowered his head, feeling embarrassed. He had just wanted to express his feelings, but the words had come out so awkward and confusing.

This was one of the reasons he had always hesitated to confess he was more of a man of action than words.

However, just when Anox thought he had failed, Teresa took the flowers from his hand and said, "Let me show you how it's done. A confession should be like this... Anox Dune, I like you."

"What?"

Teresa smiled brightly at him.

Anox still could not believe what he was hearing. "What did you just say?"

"I was just showing you how it's done... So, do you want to try again, using the method I just taught you?"

"The method you just taught me..." Anox, still in disbelief, looked at the girl in front of him, who was blushing and waiting for his response.

"Teresa, I like you. Will you-"

"I will!" Teresa threw her arms around Anox.

At last, the two who had always struggled to express their feelings and had been weighed down by insecurities finally revealed their true emotions to each other.

At that moment, both Anox and Teresa were grateful they had not run away from their feelings. As a result, they found happiness together.

Fireworks burst into the sky again, as if celebrating their love.

Teresa held tightly to Anox's warmth, and he embraced her just as closely. When

the fireworks faded, they slowly let go of each other, only to intertwine their hands once again.

"Teresa..."
