Chapter 1035 - The Warm Dinner (1/2)

The kiss could have lasted longer if only they didn't hear someone opened the door to the terrace and chirped, ”Ahh.. here you are!”

Terry stood rooted in his place with his hand pressed on his lips when he realized that he was interrupting a kiss between Rune and Rose. He felt so guilty for barging in without knocking.

After he arrived back in his suite, he was looking for them everywhere. The terrace balcony was the last place he went to, thinking Rune and Rose might already leave or something.

That's why he didn't knock.

Right then, he knew he had just interrupted something special that was going on between Rune and the girl he liked.

Terry loved gossip and he was mischievous, but he would never ruin his brother's chance with a girl. So, this incident really made him feel guilty. However, it was too late to step back and close the door, pretending that he wasn't there.

”Ehehehe.. I'm so, sorry for interrupting such a beautiful moment. I didn't know you guys are here,” he said with a nervous laugh. ”You can go back to doing whatever it is you are doing. I will be waiting in the living room.”

Rune and Rose had instantly let go of each other's lips when they heard Terry barge in. Now, both looked away in the opposite direction with blushing faces.

”Ahem.. okay, we'll see you shortly,” Rune coughed and took his wine glass and downed its content.

Rose did the same. She drank so fast that she almost choked on the wine. Rune quickly put down his glass and checked on Rose.

”Yeahh... I'm fine.. hahaha.. That was awkward,” she said sheepishly.

”He really didn't mean it. Pierre would never intentionally bother other people,” Rune explained to Rose. ”Hmm... that was indeed awkward.”

They looked at each other in knowing smiles and, with a silent agreement, they took their glasses and went inside to see Terry and JM in the living room.

When they arrived, Rune and Rose saw Terry and JM sat on the couch pouring wine for themselves. They all pretended like nothing happened earlier and sat together to chat.

”How is your work today?” Rune asked Terry as he sat across from the guy. He lifted his glass and made a sign, asking for it to be refilled.

”Oh, it was great! We found many beautiful locations and inspirations came flowing in. I am really happy that I chose this city to do my project,” Terry admitted. He poured wine into Rune's glass and then lifted the bottle to Rose's direction. ”Would you like more wine, Your Grace?”

Rose quickly waved and corrected Terry, ”My name is Rose.”

She didn't like it if Terry stood on ceremony with her just because she was a noble.

”Ah, I'm sorry. I didn't want to be presumptuous by going on a first-name basis with the country's future king's sister,” Terry said. ”When we met the first time, I didn't know who you are, my brother here didn't tell me anything.”

”Oh, please just call me Rose,” Rose shook her head, looking upset. ”I will leave if you still call me by that.”

Terry liked Rose even more. He thought Rose was really down-to-earth even though she was actually a girl from the high nobility. He had seen and witnessed so many other socialites, who were not even from her level, acting snobbish and annoying.

”Please, don't go.. I am sorry. I will call you Rose from now on.” Terry quickly stopped Rose by pouring wine into her glass and gave it to her. ”Let's cheer for our second meeting.”

Finally, Rose smiled and raised her glass. ”Cheers! Welcome to my country!”

The other three people followed suit. They clinked their glasses and then drank their wine merrily. After he sipped his wine, Rune told Terry and JM that he had introduced Rose to Aleksis and her family, and now Rose knew who he really was.

”Please tell her that I am really Rune Schneider from the Schneider family and that I don't have a secret wife,” Rune said with a laugh. He glanced at Rose and smiled so broadly.
