"Ouch!" Arthur cried out in agony while frowning, and I, too, had a frown on my face. "Do you want me to get hurt? and I'm talking about my heart, which you've already broken into tiny little pieces?" He continued, sounding like a small child who has been hurt by his best friend."I don't care whether you're hurt or not. Besides, why are you in my room in the first place, and if you knew what you did to me in my.... I mean, you're trying to take advantage of me by sneaking into my room while I was sleeping. Are you trying to do something that is inappropriate to me while I was asleep?" I declare, my brow furrowed, while staring at Arthur.I had intended to mention my dream, but I realise that if I do, Arthur will make fun of me.Mentioning my dream to him would entitle him to tease me for the rest of the day, which I'm not cut out for."What makes you think that?" Arthur quickly responded, raising his hands in the air. "I'll never take advantage of you, Cornelia, and the idea of sleep
I didn't see Arthur's next moves coming, because he walks up to me and messes up my hair like I'm a kid before saying, "Good morning, pumpkin!" Before walking away, Arthur greeted me with the most sexy and hypnotic voice.I'm not sure if he's aware, but his voice alone made my knees weak and my cheeks extremely hot.I didn't see this coming, and despite the fact that I wasn't even smiling before, Arthur had the audacity to play with me like that.He knows how to tease me, and I am always taken in by him.As I recall how his voice sounded, I couldn't help but blush, and my entire cheek turned strawberry pink.I turn around and remove my clothes before entering the bathroom with a pretty smile on my face.I took a cold bath, and something strange began to occur to me while I was bathing. My conscience began to judge me, and it felt like a string was pinned to my chest and then pulled away, only to be struck by a hammer.'You must inform him of your illness, Cornelia; he deserves to know
"I'd like you to pay a visit to my parents." Arthur declared as he finally released the bomb from his mouth.As I stared at Arthur, I arched my brows. "What exactly did you say?" My brows were slightly arched as I interrogated. My voice begs for an answer, and I hope Arthur responds honestly.He breathes out. "I believe you should pay a visit to my parents, Pumpkin, because they are dying to see the girl I'm in love with." Arthur explained to me.I was taken aback by his statement, which has rendered me immobile. "Why should I pay a visit to your parents? It makes no sense, Mister handsome, and we're not getting married, so why should I?" I inquired of Arthur, who was already staring at me with a puzzled expression.Arthur put his hands on my shoulders and forced me to sit on the couch. "Cornelia, I love you, and you love me as well. My parents called me last night, shortly after you made your way upstairs. They want to meet you, and believe me when I say my parents are fantastic…" "
"Can you please tell me who Alexander's father is?" Arthur asks, causing everything I was feeling to vanish into thin air.I let out a hoarse breath and looked at him with a puzzled expression. Arthur is not seriously asking me such a question right now.I breathe out. "I... why are you asking?" I stutter, unable to maintain a calm voice.Arthur leant away completely. "I just want to know; I slept a night with you, last five years ago, so it's strange that Alexander is only four years old; I have a feeling I'm his...""Fuck off, you psychopath," I curse, interrupting his statement.What does Arthur think of himself that he's so quick to assume things. Does he think that accepting him as Alex's father is easy? pftt. "Does this mean that my instincts are correct?" he asked, and I had no choice but to force myself to burst out laughing."Hahaha!" I laugh, and because I'm very good at acting, I make sure my laugh doesn't sound forced.Arthur arched his brows, but he couldn't say anything
"What do you mean when you say you looked through my profile and couldn't find my husband?" I asked Arthur, my gaze intensely serious and fierce on him.My big brown eyes were fixed on him, and I refused to blink because I was dead serious. "Hmm... I also thought it was strange because he couldn't be seen anywhere, and I tried digging in but it was still impossible. It was almost as if you were married to a ghost or something." He said, and for a few seconds, I couldn't help but think that Arthur is a crazy psychopath.I scuffed, and my gaze is still ferocious. I'm not sure if he sees my deadly stare as a game right now. "Are you serious?" My voice was as cold as ice when I asked.Arthur finally realised I was more than angry after my outburst, and he instantly became immobile after hearing my statement. "H.. huh?" He stutters, blinking several times because he's never seen Cornelia give him such a lethal stare.I scuffed, grinning my teeth so hard that it felt as if I was about to co
"Arthur. I'm not who you think I am, and I'd like to make a change and start over." I said before pausing for a moment and placing both hands on Arthur's cheeks. "Arthur, I only have a few......."*Beep*. The bark of karma was followed by the sound of the microwave.I wanted to tell Arthur about my cancer while also informing him that I had decided to start over and enjoy the life that I had left. I wanted to tell him that I agree to go and see his parents because I don't have much time left on this planet.I hadn't planned on telling him about Alexander's biological father because if Arthur rejects me because of my cancer, I guess I'll just have to keep the rest of my secrets to myself.Arthur quickly moved away from me, dishing the meal he was preparing on the dining table."Pumpkin, our microwave butternut squash risotto is now ready." Arthur yelled from the kitchen in a beautiful amusing voice that made me literally smile."I'll be there in a minute." I replied before closing my e
"You're not upset that I'm going to die soon. You know I'm not joking, right?" I asked before pulling away from Arthur, tears still streaming freely from my eyes.I blow my nose and stare at him intently. "Shhhh!" Arthur mumbled as he placed his hands on my lips to keep me quiet. "Don't ever talk about death casually, okay? You have cancer, but that doesn't mean you're an animal who shouldn't be afraid of death." Arthur advises as he wipes the tears from my eyes before pulling me closer for another warm-hearted hug.Everything that is going on right now feels surreal to me. I'm not sure if this is a dream or reality.I wasn't expecting Arthur to accept me so easily because I'd been keeping it from him for a long time.No man, I believe, would readily accept a cancer patient, but Arthur was an exception.He cried with me, advised me, confessed his love for me and he even coaxed me, making it seem like a dream.Everything feels surreal, and I have to pinch my cheeks. Everything that hap
Mister handsome next move is predictable, and the way he's currently behaving indicates that he's about to seal my lip for a kiss.I can't deny that Arthur tasted so good five years ago, and I'm still craving that incredible flavour.I want his lips to meet mine and give me that tingling sensation I never knew existed.I want him completely. His warm breath on my thigh, lips, and even in my sensitive area.I want him all, but I have to be careful about what I want. I need to make sure he's truly in love with me before I take things to the next level, because if I do everything my body wants to do with Arthur and he later abandons me like he did five years ago, I'm going to die of depression.Arthur drew me closer to him by putting his hands on my hair.His head is slightly bent to the side, but I quickly grabbed Arthur's hands on my hair and pushed it away."Back off, Mister Handsome," I said, rolling my eyes.Arthur awkwardly drew his hand besides him, an awkward smile on his face.
