"Really!. "Shouldn't I just pick whatever I want?" I inquired, hoping that I had heard him correctly so that I wouldn't end up in a sticky situation when I discovered he was joking.

"Yeah! "But only if you want to." Which makes me flush, Arthur remarked.

I've been smiling since today, and all I want is to keep smiling like this forever.

I grabbed the shopping cart and began filling it with everything I needed.

I chose a lot of things, including those that were less significant to me, because free stuff is always nice.

I don't care because I'm not the one who has to pay the expenses. Arthur has told me to pick whatever I need, so I'm following his instructions.

I followed Arthur to the cashier, where I calculated the bills and presented him the receipt.

Arthur has a strange look on his face while staring at the receipt. "Ohh. Pumpkin "I left my wallet and phone at home." He frowned as he proceeded to search his body to see whether his phone and wallet were inside his garments, but th

    "Hahahaha!" Queen Mulan laugh aloud. "I'm a queen, and of course I need to look young so that those in my kingdom don't panic when they notice I'm getting old." Arthur's mother stated while smiling, but I have no idea what she's trying to express. "Could you please explain in a way that I can understand?" I asked because what Arthur's mother had just explained confused me.She nodded and began to explain herself. "As a queen, I have to look good for my subjects." She provided a straightforward explanation.Hearing her explanation, I smiled warmly since it now makes perfect sense to me.I moved my sight to Arthur as I exhaled a sigh of relief. "Do you think my mother is odd?" Mister handsome asked, grinning. I hate admitting it, but I had to confess the truth because I had felt my mother was odd. When we initially met, she seemed nice, then after a while she grew cold, and now she's nice again. It's strange how people change their personality, but I understand Queen Mulan because

Arthur prepared several types of meals that he might use for dinner and made certain that they were beyond beautiful.He had to put his mind and heart into making the meal because it was for a date.Because he doesn't want Cornelia to leave the house for a date, he prepared a variety of dishes for her so that she wouldn't feel the need to go to an expensive restaurant. While Cornelia was still sleeping, Arthur arranged the meals in her chamber.He also went ahead and lit some candles because it was getting late and he wanted it to be more romantic.I cautiously opened my eyes at eight o'clock in the evening, only to feel a muscular arm wrapped around my waist.

    "You are too cheesy, Cornelia." Arthur stated as he lightly tapped me on the shoulder.Now that I've fully explained things to him, he understands what my previous statement meant. I licked my lips and winked at Arthur. "You are the one who thought I was cheesy, so you should blame yourself for teaching such nonsense." I answered with my cheeks up following my words. Arthur's brows raised upwards as he stared at me. "Are you attempting to entice me?""If I say yes, will you give me feedback so I know if what I'm doing now is turning you on?" Still acting cheesy, I said. Well. I've learned from the greatest, and I'll be extraordinary with cheesy words in no time. Maybe I'll make it as a pro.Arthur shakes his head sideways while rubbing his bald hair in a circular manner with his right hand. "You need to go to bed right now."

I added, but I was a little shy.I tried to appear brave, but Arthur could detect a tinge of embarrassment in my voice. He was relieved when I eventually turned around since it gave him the opportunity to dress me up so I wouldn't catch a cold. Truely! I want to dress myself and I don't need his help. He took my hand and tucked it inside the long sleeve. He's suiting me up right now.Mister handsome was going to fasten the dress when I whirled around in an instant. I was only wearing my pink bra with a black net design the entire time he was trying to fit my hand inside the long sleeve.Right now, as Arthur was going to button his shirt, his fingertip accidentally touched my breast, causing an electrical surge to pass through me.

    I'm aware that if I die, Arthur will cry a lot. When something awful happens to me, he usually cries a lot.If I ignored him, his eyes would fill with tears.If I yell at him, his eyes will be filled with tears.If I am harmed, his eyes create a lot of tears. He cries a lot for me for the simple reason that he is a cry baby. As I continued to stroke Arthur's cheeks, I cast a soft glance at him. "I want you to promise me something, Arthur." I muttered. He lets out a breath. "But... but I can't make a promise like that." Let's just shift the subject, Cornelia. Hmm. You should also get some fresh air." He said this as he swiftly changed the subject. He had dismissed the concept of being a cry baby. Before hauling me out of the home, Arthur grabbed the three winter coats and two long sleeves. "So, where exactly are we going?" Do you have a specific location in mind for the two of us to visit?" Mister handsome inquired. "I don't have a specific destination in mind, but I just want t

When we arrived at the mansion, I swiftly made my way straight to the bed, where I rested my head before falling asleep because I was fatigued. I assumed going for a walk wouldn't be tiring, but I guess I was mistaken.Arthur was relieved to see my sleeping face, so he joined me in my slumber. ***He jumped out of bed the next morning and went straight to the kitchen to make breakfast. He was already used to cooking meals for Cornelia, and he doesn't want to stress her out when she finally wakes up from her nap. Arthur returned to Cornelia's chamber and noticed Cornelia stroking her eyelids as I tried to rub the sleep away. I was so tired that I yawned and opened my palms wide. "Good morning, pumpkin."

    Five years later."Mister Handsome... please be careful!" I told Arthur, who was baking a cake for his one and only pumpkin, none other than me. "Are you scared that I would fall and break my leg?" He inquired, and I couldn't help but nod. I'm currently worried that Arthur will trip and shatter his legs. I'm just too worried about him to think about myself. "You should be happy that I'm caring for you, but I still don't mind if you fall, because I would end up laughing at you." I smiled and shrugged as I stated my heart.I merely stated the truth, and the truth will always be the truth. Arthur was currently atop a small stool, attempting to reach the cake knife on the higher side of the kitchen cabinet. He claims to have a unique knife that he keeps hidden in the kitchen cupboard and that he want to use it right now. He smiled as he stepped down from the stool and handed me the knife. 'Gush!

"I hope you don't mind if I look after the things that God gave to you?" I was questioned by Mister handsome. I quickly acted like an compelled individual, and I began to nod my head in excitement. "I... I... I don't mind!" I muttered in hushed tones. I'm extremely excited right now and don't know what to do to make Arthur snappy.He could clearly see my begging gaze, and as he leaned in closer, he buried a kiss on my neck, sucking my flesh as if it were honey. My hands were pinned to the wall, so all I could do was arched my brows and moan loudly. The sensation was euphoric for me, and I was well aware that Mister handsome had more in store for me. Arthur brought out his tongue and allowed his tongue to explore my body as I bit my bottom lips. The sensation was divine.Mister handsome grinn

I brushed my fingertips across the duvet, relishing the aroma of a new day. I slowly opened my closed eyelashes, and there was a handsome young man sleeping just next to me. Arthur is a handsome young man, and just glancing at him made him appear so sexy. But, then...I quickly grabbed the blanket that was keeping me warm in order to stay alert. I recall showering in the bathtub last night, but now it's morning and I'm also on the bed. I sighed with relief as I examined my body, knowing full well that I wasn't naked and that Mister Handsome hadn't done anything to me.

Alexander followed Arthur Mom as they made their way to Arthur's personal hotel room because Arthur Mom was intended to offer both Mister handsome and I some privacy. I was fatigued, so when the door to the hotel room was opened for me, I went to find the bedroom so I could sleep warmly, but I found something surprising. As soon as I stepped into the bedroom, my mouth hung open slightly. When I saw a bed full of beautiful roses in front of me, I couldn't believe my eyes. "Do you think you're going to like it?" Arthur, who was standing right behind me, inquired. I bit my lower lip and nodded quickly. "I absolutely love it, Arthur." I exclaimed. I continued walking inside the room, straight to the walk-in closet. "Can you help me with my zip code? I need to get rid of this." I spoke to Arthur.

And a wedding necessitates a well-designed and well-made wedding gown.A lovely white wedding gown with a straight pentagonal necklace and a basque waistline pattern was observed on the body of a lovely young lady with fair Olive complexion.The lady wore a tight gown that clung to her figure. Unlike A-line or ball gown wedding gowns, her gown is a mermaid-like gown that stretches below the knee rather than at the waist, creating the illusion of a mermaid-like "tail" that is totally stunning.It draws attention to the lady's contours. The mermaid dress produces an hourglass figure by hugging the chest and waist and flaring out at the bottom.It had a lace long sleeve that was meant to keep the lady warm, and a white Veil that was used to conceal the lady's face.
