Chapter 325 - Warm touch of his cold lips... (1/2)

Reuben had no bounds for his happiness as he didn't waste his time anymore and engulfed Veronica in a tight hug before muttering sensuously in her ears, ”I love you too Ica. Wait! I can call you Ica from now on, right?”

Veronica chuckled seeing his curiosity filled eyes and pretended to be thinking something, ”Uhmmmm… Yeah, you can call me Ica but I have one condition..”

Reuben scrunched his eyebrows together and asked, ”What kind of condition? I'm ready to fulfil your every wish.”

Veronica arched her eyebrows playfully at him and asked, ”Really?”

”Yup.. Really..” Reuben affirmed.

Giving him one of her brightest smile, Veronica replied, ”Then… You have to let me call you by a nickname also.”

Reuben sighed in relief and smiled at her before saying, ”If you give me a nickname too…then I'll be the happiest person of the world. Now tell me what kind of nickname you have in your mind for me??”

Veronica observed his face very closely and said, ”You know what? Just like you, I also had the urge to call you by a different name from others but never found the confidence to do so. Now that we're a couple, I don't have to think about anything...

So, I'll call you with the nickname 'Bennie' from now on..”

Reuben's face lit up in a beautiful smile when he heard his new name which was only available for his Ica and said, ”I just loved it.”

He then slipped his hand into his pocket and took out a long velvet box and handed it to Veronica, saying, ”It's a gift for you. Open it..”

Veronica took the box in confusion from his hand. But the moment she opened it…she was awestruck with the beauty of the gift.

It was a simple gold plated pendant which had a beautiful design in the middle part of it. Small leaves made with diamonds were carved through gold branches. It was really simple but beautiful.

”This is so beautiful..” Veronica whispered eyeing the pendant.

Reuben smiled and said, ”Not more beautiful than you, my love. But can you guess, what is the reason of me giving you such a simple pendant, leaving other extravagant ones…”

Veronica shook her head in denial, so Reuben narrated, ”The leaves are the evidence of our pure love and the branches are our heart which is binding us together...

I want our love to travel through different kinds of emotions while experiencing all kind of burning feelings...so that it can always stay together like the leaves are bound with each other with the help of these thin brunches..”

The meaningful description of Reuben, made Veronica teared up again. She was really pleased with the thoughtfulness he had showed for her.

She didn't say anything but just handed the pendant back to Reuben making him confused as he thought that she wasn't accepting his gift...

But his confusion got cleared and a bright smile lit on his lips when Veronica said, ”As you're the one who had gifted me such a lovely pendant…then you'll be also the one who'll make me wear it..”
