Chapter 96 - Confessing (1/2)

Brione stepped forward, ready to do the needful in order to check Cedric's butt.

However, Cedric stepped back and said, ”Wait, hold on…”

He looked at the contract and said, ”You really signed it. I can't believe it, I mean you really signed on it! We are married! All I need to do is sign this and have it registered tomorrow morning and we will be officially married!”

Brione sighed and said, ”You have to keep your promise. I need to see if you have the birthmarks.”

”Seriously, Sweetheart? Did you sign this marriage contract just to see my butt?” Cedric burst out in disbelief. He had confessed his feelings and asked her to marry him but she had not responded, but now she quickly signed the contract he always kept with him, simply to take a look at his butt?!

Brione replied with a pout, ”Of course not! Do you think I'm that shallow that I would sign a marriage contract so easily?” She moved and grabbed something in a paper bag.

”Here,” she said timidly and handed something to Cedric.

”Huh?” Cedric breathed unevenly as he stared at the box wrapped in wrapping paper. It was so sudden. He had expected an explanation from her, but here she was giving him a gift? She grabbed it from the paper bag that contained the presents she had bought at the boutique.

”Oh, I get a present too?” he commented, a bit amused and excited, wondering what could be inside. What had Brione bought for him?

”Yeah, go on, open it,” she whispered bashfully. She blushed as she waited for Cedric to see what was in the box. She was feeling shy and nervous at the same time.

Cedric forgot their current discussion about his butt and immediately started to remove the wrap. He did not know why he was feeling nervous. He never felt so nervous in his life as he did when he gently lifted the cover of the box.

In the box was a mug.

But what made him hold his breath were the words written on the mug…

I met you

I liked you

I love you

And

I'm keeping you
