Chapter 78 The picnic (1/2)

Jeremy opened the door for Ryn after handing the basket at the maid.

The maid quickly placed the basket into the boot. Her grin went even wider seeing a bouquet of red and white roses in the boot. Guessed the gardener was working hard as well for this picnic. She quickly closed the boot and stepped backward, signalling Young Master to drive the car away.

”Do you think everyone is acting weird today?” Ryn asked Jeremy as the car slid smoothly through the big gate.

”Acting weird? In what way?” Jeremy acted dumb.

He knew what she meant. If he did not catch the good intention of the butler and the maids, he would be taken back as well. But, knowing how good their intention was, he felt happy and proud. They surely deserved the one month bonus he bestowed.

He checked the location again via his phone to ensure they were on the right way. Honestly, he had not been there before. The butler actually handed him a list of interesting places to go and several suggestions of itineraries for him to choose for today's event.

He chose a picnic.

They would have a relaxing day. Ryn could even have a nap if she wanted to. A park was a place for families (and couples) to have fun after all.

Ryn looked out of the window eagerly. She wanted to enjoy today before she went back to the real world. Despite her being a 'whatever' kind of girl, she did know the gossip surrounding her so-called relationship with Jeremy and at home, it was getting worse. Mei Li assured her that everything was under control with the help of PR from Jeremy's company. She should just focus on her work and leave everything to them, Mei Li said. Hence, she did not even bother updating her Instagram or checking the comment. She also did not answer questions from the media, just focussing on her work.

”We're here,” Jeremy announced.

Ryn looked around. She was getting more excited. To think she was so close to the palace!

”We will walk around first. Then, we will have our picnic. What do you think?” He unbuckled and looked at her lovingly.

”Do we have water?” she had already thought of the most important thing; to stay hydrated!

”We do,” he took out a huge bottle with a pink cover. It did not belong to one of the maids, Jeremy was sure about that. The maids would not dare to give their belonging to be used.

Ryn took the hat and put it onto her head. She took his hand, rather automatically, and started to walk toward the park. He did not take the basket, just wanting to focus on enjoying the time with Ryn.

They walked along the small lane holding hands. He could not stop himself from taking her photos once in a while and she actually let him do just that. She made a few poses, smiling. But she did not check them. She just made poses, making sure he took them as many as he wanted, then took his hand to move to another place. He did not ask for them to take a photo together, which she was thankful for. She was not ready... yet.

Taking a picture together symbolizing they were back together... that they had made their relationship official.

But have they... made their relationship official?
