Eugene couldn’t possibly let her get up. He pressed her down and said fiercely, “I’m incapable, huh? Well, don’t beg me to stop later!” Olivia pursed her lips and tried to hold her giggles back…
With that, a feast of love unfolded in the quiet night when everything was silent. The air was filled with a suffocatingly sweet scent as if it could overwhelm and kill. Alex got up bright and early the next day. Though he barely slept, he was full of energy and excitement.
He brushed his teeth, washed up, showered, and changed clothes, unable to contain his excitement like a young lad. Once he was done, he checked the time. It was only 7.00AM.
It’s too early. I’ll scare Jewel. He sat on the bed with wide eyes, waiting eagerly while devising a plan to show up at her house at 8.00AM, so as not to appear too abrupt. The morning traffic was light, and he had more than enough time if he left home at 7.30AM.
He glanced at the time repeatedly, upset that it wouldn’t move. Why does it seem like it isn’t moving at all?
He waited anxiously, feeling restless, but only five minutes had passed. He couldn’t wait any longer. Maybe I should wait at her doorstep instead. Let them laugh all they want. I just want to see her now!
At that, he drove straight to Muse Peninsula and arrived at her doorstep at 7.30AM. Then, he started considering whether to ring the doorbell. Two little figures fought in his head, one like an angel and the other like a devil.
The angel said to wait. Jewel was probably still asleep, and ringing the doorbell then would wake her up. However, the devil tempted him to wake her up. Don’t you want to see her? It’s okay to sacrifice a little sleep.
Alex sighed and rubbed his forehead, secretly despising the angel’s lack of fighting spirit! He raised his hand and pressed the doorbell, thinking he would have to wait for a while since it was so early, and she probably hadn’t woken up yet.
However, the door suddenly opened, and the woman stood there, looking fresh and clean. There was none of that sleepiness he had expected, nor was there any surprise at seeing him. She just stood there, looking very pristine.
The sunlight streamed in through the window, shining on her, making her look pleasant. He took a step forward without saying anything and held her tightly in his arms, marveling at the fact that he could still hold her.
Jewel didn’t resist either, she leaned against him in his embrace, feeling completely at ease. It wasn’t after a long while that Alex finally released her. “Why are you up so early? I was worried about waking you up.”
“I couldn’t sleep,” Jewel answered. “Why did you come so early?”
“I wanted to see you as soon as possible.” Alex didn’t hold back his true feelings. “If I hadn’t been afraid of disturbing your rest, I would have come last night.”
A chuckle escaped Jewel as she moved aside, inviting him in. “Come on in.”
As soon as Alex stepped inside, he smelled the aroma of food, and he was surprised by the feast on the dining table.
“Why did you make so many dishes?” Jewel said nothing as she took a gander at him. She pulled out a chair, asking, “Do you drink? I don’t have any liquor at home, but if you want, I can buy some.”
It finally struck Alex. She had anticipated his visit and prepared all this food just for him. She always showed her love through actions. At that, he hurriedly pushed her to a seat. “Don’t worry about it. I’m good. Sit down. We have so much delicious food here.”
“I don’t know what you like to eat, so I made a bit of everything,” she said while sitting down. Alex felt touched. “What time did you have to wake up to be able to make a whole table of food?”
“I woke up at 6.00AM!”
Alex squatted down, took her hand, and said, “Jewel, you don’t have to do so much. I don’t know how to do anything. You’ll surpass me if you keep doing this. How about you teach me someday, and once I learn, I can cook for you, hmm?”
“Sure,” Jewel giggled. “Come on, sit down and try them.”
However, Alex didn’t let go of her hand. He felt that she seemed much gentler on this day.
