Her figure started trembling in fear as she was feeling her legs were getting weak. She tried to loosen his grip on her wrist but it was like if he was made of pure iron.

"W-hat?"
Her voice was almost a drone as a soft feather. Her ears felt numb for a second and so as her brain. She was beyond bewildered. Noy understanding Ivan's words, she asked again.
"I..I, What do------"
"You heard me, right? I said that I wanted to give us a chance," spoke Ivan, his voice was humble, genuine for the first time. As if he knows very well, what is he doing and whatever is he speaking. His eyes were screeching authenticity.
Anna was speechless, bewildered completely out of words that she wasn't even able to speak out a single word. The tension on Anna's face didn't go unnoticed by Ivan.
"Do you have to say something?" he asked, she frowned looking away. Not knowing what to say.
But one thing for sure that all of this was something new to her. Something inexpressible and something distinct. An unusual feeling was slowly embedding inside her making her shiver.
"I.. don't know what to say?" the words came out as a murmur from her wet, shivering lips. A slight smile left his lips seeing the impact he has left.
"I know, Maybe because I never say something like this before," He said back.
"Huh Uh! Ivan, I...I think I need some time," She whispered back nibbling her lower lip, not sure how will he gonna react. She can just hope for positivity. Ivan nodded completely agreeing with her situation and feelings.
"I know, And I respect your choice. I won't force you into anything. I will try to fix everything that I did and has hurt you in the past. And, just because I want to start a marriage with you doesn't mean you want the same. And, I whatever you will choose, I will appreciate it,"
Anna was wordless with his statement. thinking that he might get angry, she was petrified but no, the man proved her wrong. He always has the advantage of keeping himself calm during the worst situation.
"Thanks," Anna muttered slowly making Ivan chuckle. He nodded. Leaving the pool, he came out wearing his robe.
"It's cold, we should sleep," He said.
Nodding, Anna too, got out of the swimming pool. She was almost shivering because of the cold. It's been almost midnight.
"Get yourself change to something warm. You might get a cold," he said as they both entered their bedroom. she nodded before he left for the bathroom to change as Anna changed into the room. wearing a PJ with a loose top, she wore a sweater on top of that since she was almost shivering because of how long they have stayed in the water.
