The Emperor who loves me dearly - Chapter 96

“I’m ready!” Her voice like a chime on a good windy day made Hannibal stop from reminiscing the past.

The lady’s golden hair is flowing nicely through her petite body. The green tank top was covered in a white blazer partnered with a black pencil skirt. A stiletto that was given by Hannibal matched her bag and lipstick which are in color red.

Looking at her from afar, anyone would turn their heads to see this gorgeous lady, a beauty that can captivate anyone’s heart even his…

“Let’s go, shall we? We will at least wait 30 minutes for the bus to come” he said like a mentor to his student.

Helen will be going out today, far from the forest she lives right now, today, she can see the world outside the shadows of the trees.

Her arms found its way into Hannibal’s, squeezing it slightly, she cannot contain her joy! How many days, months and years she has been living on this mansion with no one to talk to?

A bright smile never left her face as they went out to walk towards the bus station which is a 5-kilometer walk from her house.

The soft rays of the sun welcomed the two dazzling people outside the white gate, the breeze of air much colder than usual days, it is already November after all…

Humming different sounds she learned before, Helen is happily skipping, almost jumping because of joy. Her heart is too happy right now!

Who wouldn’t? After two years of therapy and isolation from the world outside, she can now freely go out! Her happiness is so contagious it even caused Hannibal to smile softly as his eyes darted towards the woman more beautiful than any sunrise.

“Be caref–Helen!”

The man in a well-tailored suit sighed in relief, it’s a good thing he is quick to catch this mischievous woman!

His heart still beating fast from nervousness but now… looking directly at her glistening emerald eyes at those long lashes and pointed nose, and Oh man! Those red luscious lips…

He wants to kiss her right then and there!

‘Damn Helen’ he cursed inwardly.

“H-Hanibal” the lady’s voice croaked as her fair skin started to show signs of redness, he is too close for Pete’s sake!

Her right heel who is slightly bent from getting tripped at a stone started to hurt.

“A-Ahh, it hurts Hannibal” she got teary from the pain yet why does it seem to come out wrongly?

Helen blushed even harder, sure, she lost her memories, but reading tons of books, made her catch up to reality.

How shameless of her voice to go out like that!

Hannibal gently lets go of her waist, even the man’s ears are blushing from the sound that came out from the lady. The back of his right hand blocking his mouth to slightly cover the redness of his cheeks, a habit he developed whenever he’s embarrassed or feeling shy.

“L-let me see,” the young adult man said as he bows down to see Helen’s ankle. The two are already young adults yet they act as if they are teenagers!

Well, who cares? This is their life anyway, their world…

Yes…Hannibal’s and Helen’s.

Twisting it slowly, Hannibal decided that it’s better to go to a nearby clinic to have Helen’s ankle examined, although he already applied the first aid he learned from some books he had read before, it’s still better to be sure.

Turning his back on her, Hannibal gestured for Helen to lean on him.

“Come on, get on my back”

Is this man serious?

If only Helen knew that Hannibal would carry her, she would’ve not eaten those big blueberry pies the night before this and would not have decided to eat a heavy meal for breakfast earlier this day!

“I don’t want to!” she protested, eager to escape from this unprepared war. She crossed her arms in front of her, seldom does she act like a spoiled kid, but surely, she knows how to play her cards well.

By hook or by crook! She will never ev–

“KYAHHHHHH!”

The birds flapped away hurriedly from how her voice resounded throughout the forest.

T-this Hannibal!

“Okay, okay, I will get on in your back, j-just not this!” she said, admitting defeat.

Well, who wouldn’t forfeit?

Hannibal just carried her in a bridal style! The man will not only feel her weight but also see her face, she might faint before even getting to the bus station.

This stinky CEO!

Sometimes, Helen questions if this man is really rich, she never saw him bring in a car. This means that Hannibal walks five kilometers every day just to see her. Yes, it melted her heart away, but it also made her wonder if CEO’s have small salaries.

Although he looks like a king, Celestia can’t help but be curious where Hannibal’s money always goes…

‘If ever we will have a family in the future, we must budget for our future kids!’ she thought giddily.

Living a simple life sure is a nice thing…no noise, no drama, just her and Hannibal.

This made her smile wider.

“It seems like you are getting healthier” the teasing voice of the man who is carrying her broke Helen’s daydreams.

“Just eat everything I bring you, it will aid you to get better quickly” he added, now more serious as he walks down on the bumpy road.

Helen just scoffed a bit although she is grateful that Hannibal always gives her delicious and superb food, she can’t get over the fact that she’s getting fatter!

Then…that time, with his hands supporting the weight of her body, Helen realized one thing…

Hannibal’s money goes in her!

Now, she regrets eating the blueberry pie in one seating, it tastes expensive…

Burying her face on his back, his scent entered Helen’s system.

“I’m sorry Hannibal” she mumbled, enough for the CEO to hear.

The man chuckled a little bit, amused at how the woman is acting also…trying to hide the butterflies on his stomach.

“For what?” he asked as he continued down walking under the beautiful weather.

“I’m always eating your food! You buy me books, clothes and even placed me in a house with a pool, now you don’t have the money to buy a car” Helen argued, now resting her cheek on Hannibal’s broad shoulder.

The man just laughed heartily.

‘I did not bring my car today because, by this, I get to spend more time with you’

The day is only starting, yet their hearts already began beating on the same rhythm and the same intensity.

Two years with each other, who would not feel love when it’s just around the corner?
