Chapter 416 - We need to talk (5) (2/2)
”Do you miss me or miss s.e.x?” she asked bluntly with her eyes narrowed suspiciously. Her anger was increasing with the thought of he only wanted her for her body.
”Love,” he gasped in shock at her blunt accusation. How could she even think of that? How could she even doubt his love toward her? He truly loved her. He loved everything about her, inside and out.
She c.o.c.ked an eyebrow. She did not think she has to use words to express her displeasure toward his shameless thought. He should learn to control his thought better, especially when they're in the middle of a serious discussion!
He sighed. He did not have to think longer. He stood up and went to her side. Without warning, he pulled her to stand and toward him.
She cried in shock but did not have the chance to avoid his action. Of course, she tried to escape from his embrace. She struggled and struggled but he was stronger than her puny self. She groaned and cried, even hitting his shoulders with her fists. But to no avail. He still refused to let her go.
”My love, remember. I love you. I love everything about you. Your mind, your energy, your smile, your heart. I love even your lack of skills in sports. Your face and your body are just a bonus to me.”
She closed her eyes, shaking her head. She tried to believe him but... with the way he was eyeing her, was he telling the truth?
”Of course, I want your body, Ryn. You are my lover, my heart. The only woman I want past, present, and future. I only want you,” he said, confessing his love toward her from the bottom of his heart.
”But...”
”You are the only one who can make me in l.u.s.t. I want you... almost all the time, but I know that s.e.x is not the only way to express our love. Everything I do to you, to us, is for our future.”
”But...”
”I know the way I spoke yesterday hurt you. I didn't mean to make you sad and angry. I just...”
”You can't even control your jealousy,” she pointed out dryly, pursing her lips.
He groaned under his breath. It was his flaw. His only flaw. He knew he could not control his jealousy. But... it was because he loved her so much. He did not want to lose her again. Once was enough.
”It feels like you don't trust me. You don't trust our love,” she said with a small voice. She hated this flaw of hers. It made her could not breathe when he was in his jealous mood. He would not even listen to her and understand what she was saying. It felt like she was talking to a wall!
He wanted to reply to her accusation but they were interrupted by a knock on the door and a waiter announcing that their food is ready. Jeremy simply walked back to his chair and sat there. He called for the waiter to enter.
The door opened and a waiter gave them a bob. She then pulled a trolley into the room. Once she was closed to the table, she picked up the cover to reveal the still steaming steak. She placed the plate in front of Ryn. The second cover revealed a plate of Spaghetti Alla Puttanesca. It was for Jeremy.
Jeremy's eyes widened at the sight. He immediately looked at Ryn but his girlfriend just shrugged. His mouth opened but nothing came out. Lastly, he sighed and thanked the waiter when the girl placed a glass of water, which he asked, in front of him.
”Anything else, Sir, Madam?” the waiter asked politely.
”Nothing. You can go now,” Ryn said quickly.
The waiter excused herself and pushed the trolley out of the room. She then closed the door, leaving the couple alone.
Jeremy looked at the pasta sadly. He did not expect that the dish he ordered has capers in it.
He hated capers!
”Eat your food. Don't waste it,” she said, holding her laughter desperately. All her anger and frustration were gone seeing how miserable he was right now in front of his most hated enemy.
”Can I just... pack it?” he asked, a bit childishly, but he really did not want to eat it.
A small laugh slipped from her lips. Luckily she still hasn't started eating her steak. She put down the cutleries she just held and pulled the plate from him. Without another word, she handed the steak to him. She also exhanged her knife with his spoon.
His eyes widened. He looked at her in shock. Was she... serious?
