Chapter 96 - Part 1: Daybreak (2/2)

"I don't want to!" she protested, eager to escape from this unprepared war. She crossed her arms in front of her, seldom does she act like a spoiled kid, but surely, she knows how to play her cards well.

By hook or by crook! She will never ev--

"KYAHHHHHH!"

The birds flapped away hurriedly from how her voice resounded throughout the forest.

T-this Hannibal!

"Okay, okay, I will get on in your back, j-just not this!" she said, admitting defeat.

Well, who wouldn't forfeit?

Hannibal just carried her in a bridal style! The man will not only feel her weight but also see her face, she might faint before even getting to the bus station.

This stinky CEO!

Sometimes, Helen questions if this man is really rich, she never saw him bring in a car. This means that Hannibal walks five kilometers every day just to see her. Yes, it melted her heart away, but it also made her wonder if CEO's have small salaries.

Although he looks like a king, Celestia can't help but be curious where Hannibal's money always goes...

'If ever we will have a family in the future, we must budget for our future kids!' she thought giddily.

Living a simple life sure is a nice thing...no noise, no drama, just her and Hannibal.

This made her smile wider.

"It seems like you are getting healthier" the teasing voice of the man who is carrying her broke Helen's daydreams.

"Just eat everything I bring you, it will aid you to get better quickly" he added, now more serious as he walks down on the bumpy road.

Helen just scoffed a bit although she is grateful that Hannibal always gives her delicious and superb food, she can't get over the fact that she's getting fatter!

Then...that time, with his hands supporting the weight of her body, Helen realized one thing...

Hannibal's money goes in her!

Now, she regrets eating the blueberry pie in one seating, it tastes expensive...

Burying her face on his back, his scent entered Helen's system.

"I'm sorry Hannibal" she mumbled, enough for the CEO to hear.

The man chuckled a little bit, amused at how the woman is acting also...trying to hide the butterflies on his stomach.

"For what?" he asked as he continued down walking under the beautiful weather.

"I'm always eating your food! You buy me books, clothes and even placed me in a house with a pool, now you don't have the money to buy a car" Helen argued, now resting her cheek on Hannibal's broad shoulder.

The man just laughed heartily.

'I did not bring my car today because, by this, I get to spend more time with you'

The day is only starting, yet their hearts already began beating on the same rhythm and the same intensity.

Two years with each other, who would not feel love when it's just around the corner?
