294 Their romantic dinner 1 (1/2)

However...

He looked at her sitting on the couch, hugging her knees so close until it touched her chin. Her eyes were staring at the wall blankly.

He knew when he saw her when they first time met back after broken up, her holding everything in even tighter than ever would one day be her timebomb. Once it was too big for her to handle, she would crumble... just like this.

He wondered what ticks her off this time. It would not be him, right? If he was the reason, she would refuse to let him in. She would refuse for his touches and kisses. But she allowed him to do that; touching and kissing. So he was not the reason behind her sadness.

Phew...

But still, he needed to do something to make her feel better.

”Baby,” he started. Carefully planning his next words.

She did not reply. The drink he offered was not taken. It laid on the coffee table, untouched.

He again pulled her into his arms. And again he kissed the top of her head gently.

”Are you ready to tell me what made you sad?” he asked. He watched her every reaction carefully and prayed she would be honest with him.

She shook her head. But there was no sound coming out from her mouth.

”Baby, you have me now. You can share everything with me,” he coaxed gently.

Still, she refused to speak.

He sighed. Then, he frowned when he heard something. He pulled back and looked down at her slim stomach.

”You haven't eaten anything?” he asked.

She shook her head.

He sighed. Without warning, he stood up and scooped her up into his arms. She screamed a bit but he ignored her. He carried her into her bedroom and put her gently on the bed. Then, under her puzzled look, he walked to her wardrobe and checked all her outfits.

He could not help from frowning seeing her rather casual and inexpensive clothes. She was a supermodel and even spokesperson of his company. Where were the dresses and jewellery from his company? He knew Mika would make sure she would send the latest designs to her.

”Where are the dresses and jewellery?” he asked. Although he came to her house often, he did not dare to venture into other rooms while wooing her. He did not want to be kicked out by her. Hence, he did not know the room she used to contain all the clothes and accessories she received from all the brands she worked with.

She looked at him blankly. Why would he ask that question?

”Baby, we are going out for dinner. You need to wear a pretty dress,” he explained patiently.

”Do... do I have to?” she finally spoke.

His eyes blazed with coldness. Who dared to bully his love?

With a sigh, she stood up and walked to the door without speaking. She suddenly stopped at the door and turned to look at him.

”Follow me,” she said.

He followed her. They went into another room. His eyes widened seeing it full pack with designer brands. Of course. Why did he not remember about her habit of ignoring the brands but focus on comfortable clothes instead? All the clothes in her wardrobe just now were casual and comfortable clothes she always wore whenever she went out, even when having lunch or dinner with them.

He realized she never changed despite being so popular. She was still the Catherine he fell in love years ago. And it made his heart even beating so fast now. He loved her even more by every second.

Without another warning, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips passionately. At first, she struggled a bit before her body leaned forward as she replied back to his kiss.

Once their kiss ended, he carried her back into her bedroom and placed her on the bed gently. She blinked her eyes, still drunk from the kiss.

”Wait here,” he told her and gifted another light kiss.

Then, he went to her other closet. He glanced at his watch. They still had time although it would be a bit late. He quickly contacted the restaurant to push the time for the dinner to another half an hour. The manager agreed after he promised to pay double for it.

He sighed after ended the phone call. Luckily he still managed to save their romantic dinner although the rest of the plan he had to unwillingly cancel. Ah... they still had a long time to share their life with. He could plan another romantic date with her.

The thought of planning another romantic date somehow cheered him up and he quickly focussed on choosing the perfect dress for her to wear for their romantic dinner. He even chose the accessories and heels for her. For hair, he decided to ask her to let it down and there was no need for make-up. He loved seeing her natural beauty.
