Chapter 71

Richard laughed out loud that's why I couldn't stop laughing as I covered my face again because of what he did.

"No, I'm sorry. Go ahead. I won't laugh at you again. I promise. You are just so cute to handle.” He said as he continued laughing.

I glared at Richard as I slowly took my hand away from my face. I can imagine that my face right now looks like a rotten tomato because my cheeks are so hot.

If I don't want to leave a memory of this place, I won't push myself to take a video. I also want to remember this happy place because Richard is right that it's not every day that we can go here and spend time together.

"Uhm, okay..." I said softly as I cleared my throat. "Hi, I'm Cattleya, and today I am here in the happiest place that I have ever seen." I stopped for a moment to take a deep breath and then glanced at Richard who was grinning behind the camera. "Well, today, I am with Richard Sol and look at what I am wearing today. It's so adorable but it feels very… very odd. We will go together inside that little chicken house right there and join us to fetch some fresh eggs.”

I laughed out loud as I couldn't contain my laughter any longer.

"Hello, I'm Richard. And today I am with Cattleya and believe me, she is just so adorable. The cutest person on earth, I would say. I hope to remember this day no matter what happens to us." He said as we both laughed together. He turned off the camera after we waved our hands to say our goodbyes.

"Let's go and pick some fresh eggs!" I said excitedly as I went straight to the little chicken house and didn't wait for Richard to pick up the bucket of food for the chickens.

I can't believe that picking fresh eggs can cheer me up like this.

My feet came to a halt as my hands slightly moved wide open. I closed my eyes as I raised my head a bit and felt the fresh air caressing my face.

It is so rare to breathe fresh air especially in the city where I grew up. This simple thing to unwind and have a little fun is a big deal. I know I can't run from what is my reality. But there is nothing wrong with resting for a bit.

When we finally got inside the chicken house, I was shocked to be greeted by chickens almost fighting us.

"Aaaah!" I shouted in a shrill voice and then quickly ran to Richard's back but I was scared when the chickens followed me. "Can you please stop laughing at me and do something!?" I screamed but Richard didn't help me and instead just laughed at me.

"You have to put down your bucket, you crazy little cat."

I stared at him for a while as I tried to fight for my life because I was not stopped from cockfighting. I immediately dropped the bucket I was holding and then jumped because of the fear of the chicken's beaks.

“Oh, god! They are so scary!” I screamed and eventually I was freed from the cockfighting chickens. "Can you stop laughing at me?" I raised an eyebrow at Richard. He didn't do anything other than laugh at me today.

I rubbed my palm with each other as I wandered my eyes around the chicken house. The smell inside is also quite unpleasant.

"So, where do we start? Should I just pick this egg from their nest— OUCH!” I screamed loudly when a chicken pecked me. I was out of balance as I backed away quickly. "Ahhh!" I growled as I fell into the mud, my ass first. I continued growling as I looked at my hands covered in mud and chicken poops. “Gross…”

I glared back at Richard when he did nothing but just stare back and laugh at me.

From frowning my face I burst laughing because of how funny it is. I just stood up from my crouching as I wiped the mud and poop from Richard's clothes to tease him and retaliate for what he did to me.

"Holy bucket of chickens—" His jaw left open as his eyes left on me. Still in shock of what I did.

I stuck my tongue to tease him more as I tilted my head left and right like a child.

I quickly picked up two eggs and then put them in the pocket of my jumper before leaving him and started running away from him because I saw him planning to make me pay back for what I did.

I am laughing as I go out of the coop when all of a sudden I feel like my feet are being torn causing me to stumble and walk on the floor. The next thing I knew was that my face was facing the ground.

"Oh... how many times do I have to stumble on the ground today..." I keep growling as I slowly lift my body from the ground and look at my hands that are covered with eggs that hatched from my pocket. It was so sticky and very uncomfortable to feel.

"You are so clumsy, and adorable."

I raised one of my brows as my lips twitched because of what I heard. "Richard, how many times do you have to call me cute today?" My lips parted when I saw the person that was standing in front of me.

“Richard, huh?”

I was lost for words as I stared into Jaxson's face. He is standing in front of me as my eyes become jittery. I don't know how to react. I am not ready to face him yet. I am not ready to hear his voice and talk to him. Why is he here? What is he doing in this place if this is a sacred place as what Richard just told me?

I took a glimpse of Richard and saw him stunned as he stared straight into my eyes.

I shook my head as I walked past Jaxson and then quickly walked away from him. I thought he couldn't follow me here? I am not trying to run away from him. I just need a little bit of time to unwind.

"Cattleya!" I heard Jaxson's voice following my quick steps. "Cat, please, talk to me! Cattleya, I said stop and talk to me!”

My feet deliberately came to a halt when he raised his voice to me.
