Chapter32 Thoughts On The Future

Elena

After our shower, I wrap a towel around myself, and Sebastian grabs one as well. I dry my body

and suddenly feel very self-conscious while doing this normal thing because his eyes were on me.

Willing him to look away, I dry my hair and hear him sigh.

“You know, there is no need to sleep in separate rooms any longer,” he muses as he dries himself

off and my eyes go to him. It made me think, though; was I ready to sleep in the same room as him,

share everything including a bathroom and closet?

Heck yes, I was.

I smile. “Can we arrange for my things to be moved over to your room today unless there’s a room

in this villa with a larger walk-in?” I ask him as a joke but then catch the naughty smile on his face and I

raise my eyebrow. “Oh my gosh, there is, isn’t there?”

He chuckled. “Of course there is. We can have the staff move things over today unless you would

want to wait for a while?” he asks, a little defeated, but I shake my head. “I am ready for this marriage,

Sebastian, and to start my life with you. There’s no need for us to be separated,” I answer and catch

the shy smile on his face. Oh, Sebastian can get shy? I shall file this little tidbit away for later use.

I give him a peck on his cheek and head towards my walk-in, contemplating what I would wear

today. Eternally thankful for the heat in the closet as it was pelting down with rain and it just looks

miserable outside.

Sebastian stands at the doorway and looks at me, “I law truly what you want to study, Elena?” he

asks me and this question caught me off guard. I never really thought about it since Nicholas brought it

up. He had always said since I knew how to debate well, I should consider studying law. Then he

mentioned Harvard, and it just stuck.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“I am not sure, entirely. Nicholas was the one to broach the law subject, and it just stuck with me. I

think I wanted to impress him so much that I allowed him to mould me into something I wasn’t. Harvard

was his idea as well.” I say as I slip on my bra and panties before walking up to my thick black

stockings and sliding them on.

“Then I suggest you think long and hard about your real future, love. Not the future Nicholas chose

for you. I have the means and capital, all I need is your dream and I will bring it to fruition. I know you

will never be the socialite type and I do not expect you to be. You are ambitious and I will not allow you

to stay at home and do nothing when your soul yearns to be free.” He says as he crosses his arms

over his chest.

This truly made my heart melt, and I was close to tears. What did I truly want to do with my life? I

will most certainly need to think this through. He’s correct in saying that I was not the socialite type. I

couldn’t stand the formality of being an heiress of noble blood. So what should I study?

“I will think it over for a while, think I’ll visit the coffee shop again today to contemplate my choices,”

I say, the coffee shop would be perfect. The quiet there would definitely help me clear my mind, not to

mention the sumptuous smells.

Sebastian nods, “Then I will see you this evening and we can discuss it,” he starts and walks over

to me, planting a kiss on my head. “Enjoy your day, love.”

Then he turns around and walks out as I slip on my thick black button-down, wrap dress and thigh-

high stiletto boots. Today would be a day of reflection then. I was completely stumped as to what I

wanted to do with my life. After being set on Harvard for so long, only to realise that it wasn’t even my

dream at all.

I head over to my dressing table and grab my hairdryer. My wet hair was giving me the shakes,

and I needed to get this day started. Afterwards, I flop down on my bed and sigh, really contemplating

what I wanted to do with my life from here on. Nicholas suggested law. The subject never had a pull for

me before, but the more he talked about it, the more he won me over. He was also the one to suggest

Harvard, so if I did not want to be a lawyer, what was my passion?

It was then that I realised that Nicholas had a say in almost every aspect of my life, something I

had never thought about until now. I was so blindly in love with him that I let him decide my entire

future.

Well, I wasn’t going to get anything done on an empty stomach, so I hopped off my bed and

headed out of my room for breakfast. As I walk towards the stairs, I catch Sebastian on the landing,

and he turns around when he sees me. He was dressed, as usual, in his Tom Ford attire and looking

more gorgeous than ever. Then a grin crosses his face and he picks me up, spins me around and

plants kisses on my cheeks.

This made me giggle so much that my stomach hurt. “Sebastian!” I call out, but he continues to

kiss me. I catch Ilse as she runs to the staircase, but when she sees us her hand flies to her chest and

she beams at us looking close to tears. I think she was the one who rooted for this relationship more

than anyone. Bless her.

“Would you like to join me for breakfast in town, Elena?” he asks me after kissing me silly. I gently

push him away, but he pulls me closer, and I drown in the scent of his yummy cologne.

Oh, my. I will never tire of this man.

“I would love that, but first we’ll need to run it past Ilse. I would hate to have insulted her if she

cooked breakfast already.” I saw as I cock my head towards the woman who doubled as our mother.

“Don’t worry about it, lovies. Go out and enjoy yourselves!” We heard the little eavesdropper yell,

and it caused us to chuckle. Sebastian then takes me by the hand and leads me out into the chilly

morning.

This would be our first day out as an actual couple, and it had me completely giddy.
