"I'm pissed that you don't believe me," Ernest replied in a low voice.
"No, it's not that I don't trust you. I just can't believe that I would have such good luck." Leah looked at the sour expression on Ernest's face. He looked angry, so she hurriedly tugged on his sleeve. Her tone was placating as she said, "Fine, stop being mad! I'm sorry, okay?"
Ernest glanced at Leah, as if he didn't want to talk to her.
Leah whispered, "Okay, I was wrong. Don't be mad, okay?"
Ernest took a deep breath and looked at her. "You didn't want to have too much sex, so I kept it all in to go on a date with you. We're going to dinner and a movie and you're asking if I have feelings for you?"
Leah nodded. "You do, you really do."
"I do what?" Ernest asked.
"You do have feelings for me, you also desire me." Leah blushed when she answered. "You have to have feelings before you have desire. Having one
without the other is abnormal."
Ernest gave her a look. Obviously, her answer pleased him.
The angry haze on his face faded and he looked at Leah more gently.
Leah saw it and she tried placating him more. "All right, stop being mad okay? Let's go, we can't stop here for too long."
Ernest stared at Leah with a fierce expression.
Leah shook his arm like a little girl. "Don't be mad, please?"
Ernest was in no rush to leave.
Faced with no choice, Leah went forward and gave Ernest a chaste kiss on the lips.
Ernest's eyes flashed with happiness and he smiled faintly.
Nevertheless, he kept his cool and said, "Stay away from me. I'm scared you'll say that I'm using you for s*x. You kissed me first this time."
He meant that this was all Leah's idea.
Leah was stunned and she blushed. She retreated and said, "Then just drive. People are honking because we're holding up traffic."
Ernest started up the car and continued driving to the restaurant.
However, there was a gentle smile in his eyes as he drove.
It seemed that Leah was almost at her breaking point.
Perhaps his efforts were not in vain.
When Leah kissed him earlier, Ernest wanted to take her right there and then.
However, he stopped himself when he remembered their previous agreement.
Leah was going to be the one who caved first, not him.
Meanwhile, at the restaurant...
When they arrived, Leah realized that Ernest had booked a themed restaurant.
This was a restaurant that catered to couples. Almost all their customers there were couples.
Moreover, he'd booked the entire upper floor.
There weren't going to be any interruptions to their date.
Leah couldn't help but whisper to Ernest when she saw the deserted restaurant. "This is weird. The internet says that this is Northern City's best restaurant for a romantic night out. It's supposed to be full every day, why is it empty now?"
Ernest just smiled mysteriously.
At that moment, the waiter came over and said, "Hello, Mr. Jones, we have cleared the floor for you as per your instructions."
Ernest nodded. "Let's just proceed as planned."
"Okay. Mr. Jones and Miss Winston, please come in." The waiter led Leah and Ernest to the table right in the center of the second floor.
Leah was dumbfounded.
There was a large bouquet of red roses on the table.
At a glance, she guessed there were 99 of them.
She was taken aback by the romantic scene.
Leah felt a little flattered.
What was Ernest doing?
She looked at Ernest suspiciously. Meanwhile, he'd walked over to the table and pulled out the chair for her. He acted very gentlemanly indeed.
"Please sit," said Ernest.
Leah was shocked and lowered her head to look at herself. She felt that she was underdressed for the occasion.
They were eating at such a beautiful restaurant.
She heard that the couples who visited this restaurant needed to wear something fancy.
Leah sat down. It all felt very surreal to her.
Ernest walked to the opposite side and sat down, not taking his eyes off her.
