I pushed his face away and said, "You haven’t told me when we’re going to visit Grandmother."
"Kiss me and I'll tell you." His eyes were gentle, and there was a trace of a faint smile on the corners of his lips.
I went on my tiptoes, reached out, and held his face. Then, I firmly planted a kiss on his lips as I looked up a t him. "You can tell me now, right?"
People could easily become accustomed to being cheeky.
He was startled for a moment before smiling the next second, revealing the two rows of his white teeth. It was my first time seeing such a bright and pure smile on him. It was so dazzling that it was comparable to the colorful skies. It was as pure as a field of flowers i n spring. I could not pull my gaze away from it!
"Good. We’ll go the day after tomorrow!" he said. I was happy to hear that too.
We had our dinner harmoniously. It was such a rare scene that we were talking and laughing over dinner.
After dinner, we cuddled on the sofa and watched a movie together. Theo waited until the sun went down before pulling me out for a walk.
That night, I slept soundly with peace of mind.
When I woke up in the morning, Theo had already left home. He must have gone to work.
I was feeling refreshed and energized after a good night's sleep. When I thought about going to Whaldorf City in a few days, I decided to visit Cecilia and see what her plan was. Would she be going to Rosella City or was she going to Whaldorf City with me?
When I went down the stairs, I heard Cecilia and Miss Woods talking to each other.
I had no idea what the both of them were talking about. They were talking and laughing, sounding very happy. They did not even notice me when I came downstairs.
"Why did you wake up so early? Aren't you sleepy?" It was only eight o’clock in the morning, but she was already here. She must have woken up extremely early, then. I was worried about her health.
"I couldn't sleep anymore, so I came here. I thought that you might need your phone. That’s why I came here to pass it to you." Cecilia took my phone out of her bag and handed it to me.
