Chapter 250 - Piece of my heart... (2/2)

Henry's apartment...

At night...

Henry and Lucinda were having their dinner as they planned to spend the night together at Henry's place..

While eating, Henry suddenly remembered something and looked at Lucinda before saying, ”Honey... I forgot to tell you something.”

Lucinda took a spoonful of her food in her mouth and asked in an unclear voice, ”What is it?”

Henry chuckled looking at her face which was filled with food and said, ”No one is going to snatch your food away from you. So finish the food in your mouth first.”

Glaring at him, Lucinda gulped everything in one go and said, ”Firstly, I don't trust anyone with food. And secondly, now tell me what you have in your mind...”

Grinning at her comment, Henry said imitating Lucinda, ”Firstly, I don't want food cause I have more tasty thing to eat.” He eyed her body which made her blush.

”And secondly, Amy called me few days ago.” Henry said.

The spoon in Lucinda's hand fell on her plate making a noise and her eyes widened in shock as she asked, ”Who.. who called you?”

Henry sipped the wine and said, ”Amy...our Amelia.”

Now all the colours from Lucinda's face had worn out as she asked once again, ”Why did she call and what had she told you?”

”Nothing much. We just talked randomly about our current lives. But why are you reacting like this babe?” Henry asked when he saw Lucinda's weird behavior.

Lucinda kept the spoon on her plate and got up from the chair before sitting on Henry's lap, making him perplexed of her sudden change in behavior but he still encircled her in his arms.

She cupped Henry's face in her hand and said, ”Henry... Promise me one thing. Whatever may happen in future, you'll not break up with me.

I love you very much Henry and I can't bear being away from you. If you leave me one day, I'll be completely devastated and my soul will be gone out of my body.”

As she muttered all those words, pools of tears started dropping from her eyes like a flowing river.

Shock was an understatement to describe Henry's expression after seeing Lucinda's this kind of vulnerable side...

Cause, whenever he had seen her, she was with all smiles everytime. But this was the first time when he had seen Lucinda as a broken girl who was hiding many of her lone emotions in her heart from everyone.

Without thinking anything, Henry just hugged her tightly and console her with his sweet words, ”Sshhh baby.. Don't cry please. And why are you saying about me leaving you. I'll never do this in my life...

You have become my everything from the past two months honey. I find solace in your arms. I can never think of breaking up with you...

I love you so so much that I can fight for you with everyone but never let anyone to hurt you. You are the piece of my heart which I was missing from so many years and finally I had found it. So...how can I live without the most precious gem of my life. Don't you dare to ever think like that... Okay?”
