Sharing Love: True Love
Recognition Stage

"Then marry me."

Stella's eyes immediately widened. "Haaaaah...??" Stella looked surprised. A few moments later, he changed his expression. "Marriage is not a toy, Doctor Dion," said Stella with a serious face.

Dion was silent for a moment. "I knew. I also have no intention of playing with marriage."

"I don't want to sacrifice your future just for my sake. Thanks for your offer."

Despite being desperate, Stella does not want to take advantage of Dion's kindness. He doesn't want to depend on anyone else anymore.

"I seriously want to marry you" Dion said.

"How can we get married if we don't love each other? We didn't know each other before."

"We can get to know each other after marriage. Think of it as dating after marriage" Dion said quickly.

Stella breathed her smooth breath. "Doctor Dion, you don't know me much. You don't know my true nature either. What if after we get married it turns out you're disappointed with me for not living up to your expectations? You're the one who will lose Doctor Dion" Stella said with a serious face.

Dion smiled faintly. "Stella, I've met a lot of people with all kinds of different characters and personalities. At least I can slightly judge which woman has a good personality and not even just a glance," said Dion with a confident face

"Dave couldn't possibly love a woman like Stella, there must be a special reason why she could love you so much first, which is definitely not just because your face is beautiful, because there's still something prettier than you out there."

"But still. I'm not a good woman to you. There are plenty of women out there who deserve you. I'm a one-child woman, Doctor Dion. It is not easy to live a household with conditions like mine. Marriage wouldn't last long without love."

Dion turned the corner of his lips. "Do you know, there are many who get married for love and then divorce for cliche reasons, which are not in love with each other. Love can come with Stella's time. You see Dave, he didn't love Jeslyn at all, but look now, Dave loves Jeslyn very much" Dion said.

"They can pass through various storms in their household. Dave didn't even falter in the slightest with your arrival, the woman he loved so much first. That means, depending on the purpose of life and personality of each. Loving each other at the beginning of marriage can not be a benchmark for a marriage will last long and end happily. Household cannot be forever smooth Stella, there must be small ripples that color the journey of one's household. It all depends on the person of each how to react to it."

Stella looked stunned listening to Dion. He was a little amazed by the man in front of him. "alright. Think of it that way, but you don't forget, the parents' blessing is also important in Dion's marriage. Maybe you can accept me, but what about your parents? You're a single man who's never been married, and I've never been married and had a child. Your parents couldn't possibly agree with me."

Stella is still unsure of Dion's intentions to get her married. He just didn't want to take a decision that he would regret later.

"We can see my parents first, then you'll know, how my parents really are. My parents aren't a shabby parent who's going to impose his will on his child."

Stella breathed back. She was somewhat astonished why Dion seemed to want to marry her so much. There are a lot of girls out there who like it. A good looking face and a good job are the dreams of all women. There must be a lot of women chasing him. That's what Stella had in mind.

"Honestly, Doctor Dion. I'm not a woman who falls in love easily" Stella said firmly.

"I am Stella too. I think you already know that I like Jeslyn. Before you interrupted me, I investigated you first."

Stella's eyeballs instantly enlarged. "So, you know I've been investigating you?"

"of course. I also know you're investigating Dave and Jeslyn's lives" Dion said casually.

At the time, Stella was only investigating Dave's life initially, after which Jeslyn. As she finds out, Jeslyn is close to someone, Stella then investigates Dion as well. Stella thinks that Jeslyn betrayed Dave and has a special relationship with Dion. That's what made him investigate Dion, too. Unfortunately, Stella does not investigate Felicia, because Stella thinks she already knows Felicia and knows her nature because they are from the same school.

"So you finally gave up on your feelings? Are you planning to step down?" Stella seemed curious about the answer that Dion was about to make.

"of course. There is no reason for me to expect it anymore. He was happy with Dave. It's time I took it off. I'm sure Dave will take good care of her."

Stella nodding. "It turns out you're the good guy."

"of course. What, now, do you want to consider marrying a nice guy like me?" seductive Dion with his mischievous smile.

Stella smiles too. "One thing you should know about Dion. I'm older than you" Stella said confidently.

"I know" said Dion, nodding his head. "Then where's the problem? You're only 2 years older than me" said Dion casually.

"Do you doubt me because I'm younger than you? Older age does not guarantee the maturity of a person Stella. Many people are older, but behave childishly. You can't peg a man's maturity just based on his age. So can I, too, be that I'm more mature than you."

"I give you a real example. Felicia. She's 5 years older than Jeslyn. But look at Felicia's attitude, it doesn't reflect at all that she's older than Jeslyn. Jeslyn is able to respond wisely when Dave decides to marry Felicia, but Felicia is the opposite. He did stupid things to get rid of Jeslyn. He should have been nice to Jeslyn so Dave could have liked him, too. She herself ruined her life, but she blamed Jeslyn for her power breaking Dave's heart" Dion said.

"You and Felicia are the same age, but you're older than her. You're not doing useless things like Felicia did to take Dave. Despite the fact that you still love Dave, but you chose to let it go even if your heart would hurt from it."

"alright. We can try it, but never regret if later I do not match your expectations," Stella said firmly.

Dion smiled immediately. "Are you sure you want to try it? You can't back off, if you've decided to start with Stella. Because I never messed with my decision" Dion said with a serious face.

"Heeeemm." Stella cleared her throat to relieve her nervousness. Instantly he felt intimidated by Dion's gaze. Stella turned her gaze to the side for a moment and then turned to Dion again.

"alright. I concur. We can start by getting to know each other" Stella said steadily.

"alright. From now on we can be lovers first" Dion said, nodding. "After you meet my parents, we'll continue with our engagement."

"Haha? Isn't that too soon?" stella asked with a surprised face.

"I told you. We can get to know more after marriage. No need to delay too long. I'm ready to get married. I'm not as rich as Dave, but I can guarantee you won't live a life of deprivation by marrying me."

"I don't judge a person by Doctor Dion's wealth, because I can make my own money. I'm not used to relying on men's gifts."

"But I can't let a woman work just to make ends meet. If you marry me, I will meet all your needs and your child. I won't forbid you to work if you want to keep working, but giving you a living is my duty."

"You'll regret saying that, Dion."

"We'll prove it later. I'll regret it or not" said Dion casually, "you better change your clothes after you go to bed. It's late at night. You can sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the couch."

"no need. Let me sleep on the couch," Stella refused quickly.

"I am a man, how can I let a woman sleep on the sofa while I sleep comfortably in bed." 

"But you've been.."

"Do you prefer to sleep with me in bed?"

"I'm..."

"You don't want to, just follow my words Stella."

Stella seemed to think for a moment. "Alright, thank you, Doctor Dion."

"Call me Dion from now on. Don't ever call me with a doctor's appendage. If anyone else hears it, they'll think you're my patient. I'm your lover Stella, not your doctor."

"Hheeem." Stella is back. Stella seemed misbehaved when stared at continuously by Dion. "I'm sorry, Dion" Stella said softly.

"alright. Quickly change your clothes, after a break."

Stella nodded. After that, he took the clothes that Dion gave him and went into the bathroom.
