"Wait! what did you just say?" Arthur inquired, his brows slightly arched, and I immediately felt embarrassed.I had to bite my lower lips as I turned away. 'Whoa, cornelia. When did you start saying cheese words?' I had to question myself because I never imagined myself in a situation where saying cheesy words seemed normal to my strange brain.Arthur chuckled, exposing his white beautiful teeth, which were extremely sparkling in my beautiful eyes. "I never thought you'd be able to say something like that." Arthur stated.I exhaled as I prayed inwardly for the ground to open and swallow me whole. 'Gush! This is extremely embarrassing.'"Do you want me to take care of how you're feeling right now?" He inquired.I'm embarrassed, and Arthur didn't mind embarrassing me even more. "I... I'm not sure I understand what you're saying." I lied.He chuckled."I can rephrase my previous statement for you, so don't be concerned." He said this before closing the distance between us.Each step he
"Let's visit my parents." Arthur declared.He'd just made his point with a solemn expression and a firm gaze."Why's your gaze like that?""Like… like what?" Arthur responded to my question with another question.I let out a breath."Why are you looking so serious?" I inquired because I couldn't figure out why Arthur was staring at me so intently.When he said we needed to talk, I was afraid he was going to break up with me.I'm not sure why I had that thought, but I was scared.'What if his mother had called him while I was outside and told him not to return to his mansion with me?' 'What if his mother had suddenly hated me and she had realized that if Arthur spends time with a cancer patient it would do him no good.'I have a lot going on in my head, but after hearing Arthur's statement, I felt a little better.I didn't feel entirely better because Arthur has a mighty frown on his face, and I believe that there's something behind his frown. "Aren't you annoyed that my mother wants
As I forced my eyes open wide, the sun kissed my delicate skin. The sound of the birds singing could be heard from across the hotel building.I was finally able to take in my surroundings after blinking my eyes several times, and that was when I realized I was the only one sleeping on the bed.'What the hell happened to Arthur?'I yawn, stretching my hands upwards, before finally deciding to wipe the sleep from my eyes.I got out of bed and went to the kitchen because a hotel suite has everything, including a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, sitting room, and even a personal swimming pool.I came to a halt as I was walking towards the kitchen because my eyes caught a glimpse of something.It was none other than Arthur.'What exactly is he doing on the floor?' I posed a rhetorical question to myself.I rushed towards him, placing my hands on his shoulders and gently shaking them. "Arthur. Are you okay?" I inquired because I was concerned about him.His long lashes fluttered a few times befo
"Would you two please stop that right now?" Miss Astrid, Arthur's aunt, uttered as she rolled her eyes from a distance.It was almost as if she was jealous of me and Arthur, which made me smile even bigger.She entered the dining room and placed her right hand on Arthur's shoulder. "Seriously! When did you two realize you were in love?" Astrid inquired, interrogating both I and Arthur.I was expecting him to turn his gaze to his Aunt in response to her question, but he didn't.Arthur fixed his gaze on me, his hazel eyes piercing through my lovely brown eyes. "Recently! I recently fell in love with Cornelia, and what I had for her over the last five years was more of a crush, or perhaps you could call it a fling."Arthur's voice trailed off as he grabbed my hands and gently rubbed them. "My pumpkin, on the other hand, is a tough cookie who has recently come to believe in my love for her. She's more akin to a dramatic queen from a sopa opera." Arthur elaborated.His words gave Miss Astr
"Not at all, Aunt!" Before closing the sitting room door, Arthur exclaimed.I had finally had the opportunity to laugh. "Hahaha." I burst out laughing. "Why do I get the impression you're avoiding her?" I questioned Mister Handsome because I had noticed a change in Arthur's behavior shortly after Astrid suggested they have some fun by drinking wine."I don't want to spend time with her, and I'm fully aware that she misses me, but she's a drinking freak, and I don't think I'll be able to stand a drinking competition with her." Arthur explained before leading me to the car garage.He sat me beside the driver's seat and immediately accelerated the car engine after taking his seat.The weather was nice and beautiful, so I looked out the car window as we drove through town. "So you're afraid that if you drink with her, you'll end up drunk, right?" I asked Arthur as I continued to stare at passers-by, most of whom appeared to be on their way to work.Arthur nodded his head in response to my
"Cornelia... just go inside and get your bucket list." As Arthur led me to my room, he turned off the gas cooker.He wanted to just send me to my room, but seeing how sad my face is right now, Arthur had no choice but to accompany me to my room."Aren't you going to make lunch?" I inquired out of curiosity because I wasn't satisfied by just eating that toasted bread.He approached my front and put his hands on my shoulders before commanding me to stand firm. "Do you want something to eat?"In response to his question, I nodded firmly. "I'm starving, mister handsome." I responded honestly.He laughed with delight. "I'll prepare lunch later; besides, it's still too early for us to be in a hurry." Arthur responded before assisting me in opening the door to my room.I entered the room and sat on the floor, my hands spread wide open.I bend down and drag a brown carton beneath my bed after taking a deep breath.I decided to blow the dust out of the carton because it was overflowing with it
I spread my hands wide on the bed and stretch them out.I had a wonderful nap, and when I slowly opened my eyes, I was greeted by a smiling Arthur who was sitting beside me on the bed.As I stared at him, I slowly rose to sit down properly and I placed my hands on my chin."Don't you feel sleepy?" Arthur all of a sudden questioned me. I immediately shake my head sideways. "I'm not in the mood to fall asleep again." I responded with a smile still on my face.He nods and then returns his attention to his laptop.Currently! Arthur had his laptop on his lap, and it appeared that he was working on some business matters.He was enraged in his laptop, but he would occasionally shift his gaze to me to check on me.I sense he doesn't want me to be lonely, so I decided to reassure him. "You don't have to be concerned about me. You can continue with your business, and I'll just go downstairs so I don't bother you."I stepped out of bed, intending to go to the sitting room, after making my decla
I shut my eyes wide open as soon as I heard his statement because I hadn't expected him to say anything like that.My cheek turned red, so I put my hands on it to hide the redness. "Hey. You have to quit acting like that all the time." I said as I lifted my head from where I had rested it before striking Arthur's hand. "Huh? By the way, do you realize how spoiled you are becoming with each passing day? Besides, I enjoy being genuine, which is how I am right now." He declared. I can tell Arthur is teasing me right now, and I'm not going to fall for it.As I looked up at the sky, I rolled my eyes at him. "Mister handsome, please keep it down, and why don't we look at the star? In addition, I've always hoped for the day when I'll be able to gaze up at the sky with my boyfriend by my side."Arthur's eyes shone with joy.This is the first time I've ever addressed him as my boyfriend. "Woah! I suppose that day has finally arrived." He replied with a smile on his lips before taking my hand
