Chapter 53: Just Watch It With Me
But now it wasn’t the right time to think about that. She raised her head and looked at Clint, who was just staring at her. “Do you mean that Jennifer is more important to you than me?” She asked coldly.
“No, no. It’s just an example.” Clint realized that he was about to get into trouble.
“Why did you choose her as an example? Was that a Freudian slip?”
“The women in my past have always surprised me with their meanness and scorn.” Clint helplessly threw his hands up and sighed in defeat.
“Yes, I’m mean and terrible. If that’s too much for you, then you’re welcome to leave.”
At this moment, Clint couldn’t tell if she was serious or not until she finally cracked a smile. He then knew that it had been only a joke.
He pulled her to him so that she was sitting on his thigh. “Not going to happen. In fact, I’m also mean. I can’t help but feel uncomfortable knowing that my girl lives very close to her male best friend. You’d better move back to our home.”
“This is my home.” Selene glared at him.
“I mean my apartment; that’s our home.”
“We’ve divorced. How could we call that our home? At best, it would be the place where we live together.”
“We could get remarried.”
“I’ve made a mistake in my marriage before because of my impulsiveness, and I’ll never make the same mistake again.”
“I agree. We should take it slowly this time.”
“Take it slowly? You didn’t even buy me flowers before we had sex last night.
“You told me that you also wanted to skip that kind of stuff.” Clint laughed.
“Did you really think I meant it? Women are hard to read, aren’t they?”
After finishing her words, Selene stood up and went into the bathroom to wash.
Clint saw Selene’s slender back and raised the corner of his lips, smiling. Arrogant, childish, and stubborn- this is Selene.
Selene had finally shown Clint her true self, which meant a lot to him.
He felt touched but a little sad.
Selene hadn’t really considered that Clint would take the mention of flowers seriously, but, to her surprise, the next day, when she finished her work with her assistant, Mandy, someone came and knocked at the door of her store. “Is Miss Morris here?”
“Yes, she is.” Mandy ran over.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“I’m Mike from the Butterfly Valley Flower Shop. One Mr. Denovan asked us to deliver flowers to Miss Morris.”
“I’m Miss Morris,” Selene said. ”Where are the flowers?”
“We will bring them here soon.”
Then Mike took out a bunch of red roses from the trunk and handed it to Selene.
Selene took the flowers and smelled them. They looked very fresh and beautiful. Before she could react, Mike took another bouquet of pink-red roses to her. “Please take them, Miss Morris.”
Selene looked shocked and felt stunned. She just stood there without saying a word.
One bouquet, two bouquets, three bouquets…
Red, pink, white, purple, yellow, blue, and so on.
There were ten bouquets of roses, each with an individual of 99 flowers. When Mike finally left, Selene was still too stunned to say anything.
Mandy happily arranged the flowers in the shop with a big smile on her face. “Mr. Denovan is very generous. These flowers must’ve cost a lot.”
Seeing so many roses around the shop, Selene rolled her eyes speechlessly. Right then, the door to the store opened, and Clint stepped in.
“Do you like them? I wasn’t sure which color to pick, so I ended up buying ten different colors.”
Selene found his act both funny and annoying. “It’s romantic to receive a rose, but what you did is quite excessive…”
Mandy heard this and quickly chimed in, “Selene, how can that be? It’s also very romantic. If my boyfriend would send me so many flowers, I’d marry him on the spot.”
“It seems that I did something wrong.” Clint frowned and smiled helplessly.
“Yes, you did.” Selene nodded. “It would have been better to donate the money to someone in need.”
“Okay then. Let’s donate money tomorrow.” Clint could not help but laugh.
Selene finally did not know what to say.
Clint kept silent for a while, then took out two cinema tickets from his pocket. “I have two tickets for Lost In Love; let’s watch it tonight.”
“What? I’m not interested in watching that movie.”
“Just watch it with me. Couples are supposed to do this kind of thing together, right?”
Hearing this, Mandy started laughing.
Selene glanced at Clint, who seemed very serious.
“I’m leaving. Please take care of things.” Selene said, looking at Mandy.
“No problem. Have an enjoyable night!”
“Thank you!” Clint smiled.
When Selene and Clint arrived at the cinema, the film they were watching was a very emotional movie about love. About halfway through the movie, they could hear girls weeping in the arms of their boyfriends.
“The plot is fake and boring. I feel sleepy.” Selene said.
“Okay. I won’t invite you to the cinema anymore.” Clint whispered into her ear. ”I’d rather we just have sex at home.” He laughed.
“I agree.” Selene smiled.
Though now they were intimate with each other, Selene insisted that she would not move into Clint’s apartment.
In order to sleep with Selene every day, Clint took his night clothes and toiletries to her house. He even took his laptop there so he could do some work.
Selene’s house suddenly became more crowded but remained cozy.
She had never thought that she could live so harmoniously with Clint. He made her laugh, and they talked to each other like they were in love.
Selene now felt that she truly fell in love with him.
Lately, Selene had been too busy to take even one day off to relax. She had planned to work during the weekend, but then she remembered that the factory her father ran would close for several days. After deep consideration, she decided to go back home to keep Harry company.
This time, she went home by herself. Austin was too busy, so he asked Selene to give some gifts to his mother, Dora.
