Chapter 27 - 27. No Turning Back… (1/2)

While driving, Reuben played some romantic songs in the car. Veronica also hummed with the song as it is one of her favorite song, ”CLOSER” by Chainsmokers.

Near the end of the song, Veronica noticed that the route they were taking, were not the way to their house. So she asked Reuben confusedly, ”Bennie.. This is not the way to our home. Where are we going then?”

Reuben just smiled at her and said, ”You are right Ica. We are not going to our home. We are going somewhere else.”

Veronica frowned and became more puzzled, ”Hmm.. That I understand. But exactly where is the place, you are taking me now?”

Chuckling slightly, Reuben held her hand and replied, ”Did you forget that both me and Henry were out of the country for so many days?”

Making an irritated face, Veronica tried to take her hand back but to no avail. So she stopped struggling and glared at him, ”Do you think that I'm dumb to forget such a little matter?”

Reuben turned his face towards Veronica, as he feigned an act of seriousness, ”Ica?? Baby.. now you come to know that you are dumb? *sigh*.. I have to change my word then, you are not dumb, but dumber.” Saying this, he burst into laughter.

”What? You bastard!! I will kill you.” Veronica roared in anger, as she snatched her hand forcefully from Reuben's grip and started hitting him on his shoulder.

”Ah…Baby stop and let me focus on my driving.. I don't want to kill myself in this young age.” He caught hold of Veronica's hand again to stop her from hitting him more and suppressed his laughter to the maximum level.

Veronica didn't argue with him more and turned her head to look outside of the window, totally ignoring her boyfriend...

Reuben chuckled seeing her reaction, but didn't possess the power to make fun of her again. So he focused his eyesight totally on the road, still holding one of her hand.

Hearing his chuckle, Veronica moved her face back to him and glared at him furiously. She then smiled naughtily and leaned towards him.
