My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1455

Hearing Vanessa's gentle words, Julien wrapped his arms even tighter around her. Although he had not said anything, Vanessa knew that he heard every word she said and had kept them in his heart.

Vanessa snuggled closer in his arms and continued, "You know, Julien, when I was younger, my mother often told me that each of us has a guardian star. And that after we die, we would rise up and become one of the countless stars in the sky."

Julien had also heard of this story when he was younger, but it was listened to with disdain at the time as he felt that only fools would believe in such a childish, naive story. However, having heard Vanessa retell the same story this time, he suddenly thought that it was actually pretty romantic.

Romance had little to do with the activity or place involved; rather, it was about the person one is with. Anything can be romantic as long as it is done with someone we truly like and love.

Vanessa poked his chest, which attracted his attention. She then pointed to the sky again. "Julien, I think the two stars that are together must be you and me. You are the bigger and brighter star while I'm the smaller one. In the future, one of us will surely leave first. The one who left first will go up to the sky first, and wait for the other person, okay?"

With his knuckle, Julien lightly knocked on her head and said, "We're still so young and our lives have just begun. What nonsense are you thinking about?"

"It's not nonsense. I just want to be with you till my dying days," Vanessa said, scratching her head with a pout. "Julien, don't you want to be with me forever?"

Julien answered, "I do now."

Now?

What did that mean?

Did he mean that he only wanted to be with her now, but not in the future?

Vanessa huffed angrily, "You do now, but not in the future?"

Julien replied, "Nobody knows what will happen in the future."

Their lives had just begun, and the future was far ahead. No one knew what the future held, and he refused to make Vanessa casual promises, or promises that cannot be kept. He only wanted to let her know in the most practical way possible, that he wanted to be with her.

Upon hearing that, Vanessa continued pouting discontentedly as she said, "You really aren't romantic at all, Julien. In moments like these, even if you didn't know what would happen in the future, you should still say something sweet to make me happy." Julien said solemnly, "I don't want to say things to make you happy."

Vanessa shoved him away angrily. "What do you mean, Julien? You don't want to say things to make me happy? Who do you want to say things to to make them happy then?"

Julien pulled her back into him again and explained, "I don't want to make you happy just by whispering sweet nothings into your ears. I want to do things that make you happy, truly happy."

He wanted to give her the kind of happiness that stuck, the kind of happiness that was real.

It was amazing, how this man never failed to anger her but would also cheer her right up afterwards.

Vanessa pursed her lips in an attempt to hide her laughter, but alas, she was not able to help herself. "Humph, you sure have a way with words."

Julien smiled, "As long as you're happy."

Vanessa thought for a moment, then said, "Julien, since you've made me happy today, I want to do something that'll make you happy too. Let's go to the movies - my treat. We're the only couple in school who haven't been to the movies together."

Julien shook his head no.

Seeing his rejection, Vanessa unhappily asked, "What's wrong? You don't want to?"

Julien pulled her to her feet. "If we're going to the movies, it'll be my treat. Why would I want a woman to pay for me?"
