Chapter 29 - 29. Love-Paradise… (1/2)

A luxurious car stopped in front of a big mansion. Two people were seated inside the car - one was a man and the another was woman.

Inside the car…

”I have to go now. Thanks for dropping me.” Lucinda thanked Henry shyly.

”Hmm.. take care.” Henry said.

Lucinda smiled at him and raised her hand to open the door but suddenly stopped when Henry called her name, ”Lucy…”

She turned to him and said, ”Yes?”

”Actually, about the things that Reuben and Veronica said today, don't mind them. You know they were teasing, right?”

”Hmm.. I know.. Anything else?” Lucinda looked at his eyes expectantly that she might hear something more from the man beside her, which she was eager to hear for many years.

”Ummm.. Nothing more. Good night.” Henry wished her.

Lucinda's face fell as she thought that she had really expected too much from this man. Without answering him, she opened the car door and stormed outside fumingly and then shut the door forcefully, creating a 'bang' sound.

She then got inside the Wilson Mansion and went up to her room, without looking at the back for even a single time. Then she peeked through the window and saw that Henry's car was still there.

Being annoyed with him, she cursed, ”Humph!! Idiot.. Stupid.. Can't even have the strength to propose me and now waiting in front of the house for me.. Humph!!”

On the other side, Henry was puzzled that why the girl suddenly became so angry. ”Is it for the reason that she expected something else from me to say??”

Then he knocked his head on the steer wheel three times and cursed himself, ”Ah.. you bastard!! How can you be a coward..? What if the things that Reuben said comes true... If.. If someone else really marry my girl off, what will I do then..! No no no.. I really have to do something now. I have to confess my love to her as soon as possible. I can't see my girl in any other man's arms. Gosh!! I need Reuben's help in this.” He harrumphed and after making sure that the light of Lucy's room turned his car's engine on and left.
