Chapter 41 - 41. Can’t Remember Properly… (1/2)

When Veronica woke up from her slumber, after their intense morning exercise, it was already 11 am. She disembarked from the bed and the moment her feet touched the ground, she almost fell down but balanced herself by holding the bedside on time.

She was extremely sore and her legs felt like a jelly out of pain. She cursed Reuben in her heart and wobbly went inside the bathroom...

-----

After soaking herself in hot water for half an hour, her pain subsided and she came downstairs in search of her assaulter.

Reuben was setting the table with his handmade foods while humming some songs. His face seemed delightful with happiness and satisfaction because of the last night and also today morning's activity.

Veronica gnashed her teeth when she noticed the silly smile on his face and sat down on her chair.

Reuben noticed her and asked, ”You woke up baby? Let's eat then. I have made all your favorite dishes today.” He then placed some foods on her plate and sat beside her.

Veronica took a bite of meat and muttered angrily, ”Monster..”

Laughing hard on his new nick name, Reuben teased, ”So now I'm promoted from a beast to monster?”

Veronica gave him a death stare and continued eating with Reuben.

-----

As it was Sunday, both Reuben and Veronica hadn't any work. So after their brunch, they both strolled around the garden holding each other's hands. Both of them sat on a bench viewing the beautiful flowers of the garden, with Veronica's head on Reuben's shoulder.

They were not speaking anything, just enjoying the calmness of the nature in each other's embrace..

Suddenly, Veronica's phone started ringing and it was her father who was calling.

”Yes Dad..” Veronica answered the call, still sitting in Reuben's arms.

”Princess… What are you doing now?” Mr. Lopez asked.

”Nothing much Dad. Just strolling around the garden.” Veronica replied.
