Tell Me Again My Love - Chapter 572

Ryn was fooled by the innocent smile Jeremy had. She thought he really was serious about massaging her poor arching body but…

“I can’t believe this,” she muttered breathlessly as she glared at the same panting Jeremy lying beside her. She pushed him again when he made another attempt, this time he not only trapping her lips but also her body by placing himself on top of her.

“Don’t you feel better?” he asked as he leered. His hands rested beneath his head as he looked at her with twinkling eyes.

“Monster,” she choked out.

He leaned to the side and pulled her head closer. Before she could understand what he was doing, their lips met and he tried to deeper the kiss without asking. She pushed him away with a scowl.

“J!”

“Hmm… I guess I was not working hard enough to make you feel better,” he whispered huskily and proceeded to work harder, ignoring the cries coming from his girlfriend.

It was later that she realized how naive she was despite how older and wiser she was. She glared at him more once she managed to get out from the tangle aka him. He just chuckled and ignored the glare. He was too happy to care how angry she was right now.

Half an hour later, she found herself in the kitchen preparing lunch for the two of them. He refused to leave and whɨnėd about being hungry. In the end, she told him to do whatever he wanted while she made lunch.

“Don’t you feel guilty skipping your work this morning?” she asked when he appeared in the kitchen while she was busy cooking.

“I’ll go after lunch. Later I have to go to the practice,” he replied. He was only wrapped in a bathrobe. His hair was still wet from the quick shower he had. He wrapped his arms around her from the back without warning and rested his chin on top of her right shoulder. “Have I told you how much I miss you? And I love you?”

“Hmph…” she refused to answer. She ignored the head and the hands and focussed on her cooking.

“Why are you ignoring me? Are you still angry at me?” he asked and started to drop kisses along her nape. His naughty hands also started to move.

“I’m cooking, J. Stop interrupting me or we won’t have any lunch to eat,” she muttered, trying to push him away. Why was he being so difficult today? Can’t he see how busy she was? And he was the one just now telling her how starving he was and wanted to eat the food she cooked.

And now he was the one interrupting her from cooking with his kisses and touches.

“I love you, Catherine. I am truly in love with you,” ignoring her words, he confessed his love toward her. He really wanted her to understand that he truly wanted her. He wanted her to realize that he was not playing with her heart. His plan was to marry her and live with her for the rest of their life.

If only she truly opened her heart and accepted him fully. He knew she only accepted him on the surface but the hurt he unintentionally gave her truly left a scar in her heart and made her scared.

What should he do to cure the pain?

He sighed. He dropped the last kiss on her cheek before he left her cooking in peace.

He went to the bedroom to get his phone. He actually put it on silent secretly before he started his ‘massage’ so he would not get interrupted in the middle of the ‘session’.

He checked how many miscalls and messages he had and pursed his lips thoughtfully to see most of them came from  Jacob, his personal ȧssistant.

He read the messages quickly before he called his father. He spent just a few minutes telling the older man that he was with Ryn and he was going to work after lunch. Of course, he did not tell his father what they just did. It was a private matter between the lovers.

He talked with his ȧssistant about the plan for the evening and what he might miss this morning until Ryn called him for lunch. He ended the conversation by telling Jacob to send him the address for the evening’s meeting. He would go to a meeting after lunch. Jacob would meet him there at the location.

He recharged his phone and checked Ryn’s phone. He smiled to see the battery was full. If he did not check it for her, her phone might run out of battery again. Hmm… maybe he needed to remind that manager of hers to make sure Ryn did not forget to recharge her phone and also to carry the power bank around.

He quickly changed back into his working attire. He dropped the bathrobe into the basket she left on the floor near the door. He quickly combed his hair using her brush and even used her perfume without even asking her first. He sniffed after he sprayed it and nodded his approval. He loved smelling this on her.

He whistled as he walked to the dining table. He took his seat and smiled happily to see the food she cooked.

“What… Did you use my perfume?” she asked suspiciously when a drift of a very familiar fragrance hit her nostril. She narrowed his eyes at him.

“Do I?” he grinned innocently.

She sighed heavily, shaking her head. She gave up. She refused to fall into this childish conversation. Besides, even if she scolded him, he already used her perfume. If he was not ashamed to smell like a woman in the company, who was she to complain?

They finally started to enjoy their lunch. Again, he picked some side dishes to put into her bowl. She did not let him alone do that as she did the same.

He could not stop smiling when he received the ‘service’. She was slowly allowing him into her heart. He had no doubt about it.

He lowered his mug and stood up. And then, he leaned to lower her mug and kissed her lips gently. “I’m going now. Stop frowning at me. You’ll get older faster.”

“Don’t skip anymore,” she warned.

“I’m going to a meeting,” he told her before he stole another kiss.

“Hmm… good luck with your practice.”

“You don’t want to accompany me?” he asked after he paused.

“For the practice? What for? I’m only going to interrupt you,” she replied back. She planned to stay at home and sleep the rest of the day.

“Fine. You’ll accompany me during the tour. I’ll tell them today so they can welcome you properly later,” he decided loudly.

“Just tell them anything. I will get the application letter from the university and give it to you later. Which company should they address to?” Ryn asked.

“Our company,” he meant the company he created with Mika.

“Okay,” she nodded. She will go to the university to get that letter today. The faster she handed the letter, she would feel better. She would not feel like she was missing or forgetting something anymore.

Of course, she would not tell him that or he would cancel his plan to attend the meeting and follow her instead.

She sent him to the door and watched until his car disappeared from the road. She sighed and returned to the dining table to wash the dishes. Once she was done, she went into the bedroom and quickly washed.

It took her another half an hour to get ready. She grabbed her backpack, put on her favourite cap and took the car key.. Now she was ready to go to university.
