“Come on, let’s do this, you’ll never see me after this.”
Deacon halted and turned around again. His eyes met Oriana’s red eyes. Oriana’s eyes had already became watery and she was about to cry.
Deacon strode over and pulled her into his arms.
“I had used all my strength in pushing you away. You should be in Imperial by now.”
Oriana lowered her head and buried her face in his neck. She hugged his waist and whispered, “I want to go as well, but Mr. Armstead, I can’t bear to part with you.”
Deacon tightened his arms and hugged her tightly to himself.
“Oriana, you should forget about me. Don’t let me see that you’re still in love with me, else I’ll be tortured.”
Deacon took in a deep breathe and forced himself to let her go. He held her hands in his palm and dragged her forward.
“Let’s go back to the city. Let’s go to the airport. I’ll take you to the airport to book another flight.”
Oriana stag gered behind him and didn’t want to go with him. She looked at his cold back and sobbed softly.
“If I leave, what are you going to do? How many more sleeping pills will you take?”
Deacon shook his head slightly and replied,
I’m already sick. It has nothing to do with you. Don’t waste your time on me.”
“Oh.” Oriana nodded slowly.
“Give me five days, just five days, I promise to fly to Imperial city in five days. After that, you’ll never see me again. Just five days. Mr. Armstead, do you want this honeymoon trip?” Oriana’s tender and pleading voice questioned.
Deacon slowly stopped. He had used all of his strength and self-control to push her away, but she was still adamant and requested for a honeymoon trip.
All the barrier’s in Deacon’s heart had collapsed, and he was defeated by Oriana.
He had lost.
My
He admitted that her coaxing had rekindled his selfishness and possessiveness. He suddenly envisioned about the five days that she spoke about.
How could he resist her?
After a while, Deacon’s h oar se voice replied,
“Yes, I do.”
Oriana stood in the kitchen preparing breakfast.
“Mr. Armstead, how about we eat noddles for breakfast? You just woke up, you should eat something lighter. “Oriana suggested.
Deacon leaned on the door frame and looked at Oriana who was busy in the kitchen. He still felt like he was dreaming.
“Okay.” He responded calmly.
“Mr. Armstead, get me a bowl then.”
Deacon walked over to get the bowl, but when he grabbed the bowl, his attention seemed to be caught by the logo on the plate.
The bowl had two colors, blue and white. It was a royal bowl in the Imperial. It had now become a privately owned antique. The bowl was priceless.
Deacon raised his eyes and saw that there were not only bowls from Imperial here, but cutleries and mugs.
Deacon had just woken up, and he hadn’t noticed the interior initially. The house design was low-key yet extravagant.
“Mr. Armstead, why are you holding the bowl? Do you like the bowl? If you like it then I can let you have it. You can keep it.” Oriana’s voice sounded as she looked over at him.
Deacon’s handsome face didn’t convey any emotion. He only lightly h ooked his thin lips and asked calmly,
“Who bought the bowls and utensils here?”
“I don’t know. I had all of these since i was first sent here.”
Deacon looked around the place that Oriana had grew up in. In addition to the place being a simple and ordinary house which was filled with luxurious appliances, there was also a large garden outside. was situated away from the materialistic city, this place was quiet and beautiful like a fairyland. The garden outside was very big and stretched as far as the eyes could see.
“Did you grow those vegetables and fruits outside?” Deacon asked in bewilderment.
“Huh?” Oriana exclaimed shyly.
“Do you think that I can handle all that alone? The neighbors helped me take care of it.” Oriana added with a smile.
Deacon could see some middle-aged women in the garden. They were diligently wedding and fertilizing the plants.
“Now that you have vegetables and fruits, what would you do if you want to eat some meat?” Deacon questioned in a bid to satisfy his curiosity.
My neighbor’s husbands have a farm where they rear livestock and birds like pigs, ducks, chicken, cattle and sheep. If I want to eat meat, they’ll give me some.”
“What if you want to eat seafood?”
“The men will go out to the sea. There are fishes, shrimps, shellfish, and all kinds of seafood in the sea.” Oriana’s soft voice explained.
Deacon was speechless. He came from a wealthy family family, and he grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. Being in a place like this wasn’t just new to him, but also left him awestruck.
The water that Oriana grew up drinking was from the mountains. The vegetables and fruits that she ate were all natural. And if she craved for meat, she would kill a pig or sheep.
Deacon focused his gaze on Oriana. He always felt that he was far from knowing whom she was. There were lots of steries surrounding her.
“Oriana, was it your father’s agreement for you to come here?”
“Yes.” Oriana responded, but she suddenly thought of something. She looked back at Deacon and said,
“Not really though. It’s related to Derrick Domino.”
Derrick Domino? Her ex-fiance?
Derrick Domino had quitely nurtured Oriana in the most delicate way.
Deacon pondered about Derrick Domino for a moment. He was not impressed by Derrick Domino. As a son from one of the four great families in Los Angeles, Derrick had a very low sense of existence, and was the most low-key. Deacon concluded that there was something mysterious about Derrick Domino. Deacon felt that he had seriously neglected Derrick Domino and should have paid more attention to him since Derrick had played an important role in the incidents leading up to Oriana’s resentment from the Hendrix family.
Deacon handed the bowl to Oriana.
“I heard that you and Derrick grew up together. And that you both were childhood sweethearts.” “Yes, my mother likes Derrick Domino very much. Derrick is my mother’s closet student.” Oriana replied as she collected the bowl from Deacon.
Your mum…” Deacon made to say, but had suddenly halted as a thought flashed through his mind. He realized that he had never asked about her mother, and she had not also mentioned about her.
Oriana wanted to say something, but then Mrs. Kathy walked in and muttered with a smile,
“Miss Oriana, I heard that you want to eat noddles today. I just grinded some flour, and now I’ll make you a handmade noodles.” Mrs. Kathy offered happily.
“Aunt Kathy.” Oriana quickly held Mrs. Kathy’s arm and blinked embarrassingly.
“No need, aunt. I’ve already bought some packaged noddles.” Oriana rejected.
Mrs. Kathy frowned and insisted,
“Those noddles are not delicious. Aunt will make a healthy and fresh one right now.”
Mrs. Kathy poured the freshly grounded flour into the bowl, and then she added milk, eggs and a small amount of water, and started to make a noddles for Oriana.
Deacon glanced at Mrs. Kathy. If he wasn’t mistaken, Mrs. Kathy was just as skilled as a star chef, and she also deserved to be the kind of chef hired by wealthy families,
“Wow, aunt Kathy, I haven’t seen you for so long. I must admit that your craftsmanship has greatly improved. “Oriana praised in astonishment.
Mrs. Kathy was done preparing the noodles in no time and went on to prepare a saure for the duo. The aroma of the sauce was very delicious that one could drink the sauce alone.
“Miss Oriana, I did nothing. You prepared all this yourself.”
Oriana looked at what was left for her to do, and it to only boil the water for the noodles.
Did that equate her preparing the meal?” She pondered inwardly.
“Aunt Kathy.” Oriana called out, her face expressing an immense i gratitude.
‘Miss Oriana, don’t be so thankful okay? There’s a large garden outside, we cat your vegetables and usefulness?”
fruits all year round, If we don’t help you with chores like this, then what’s u Vegetables and
Oriana waved her hand in dismissal.
“No, no, that’s not what I meant.”
“It’s fine, Miss Oriana. I’ll leave you two.” Mrs. Kathy quickly excused herself.
However, Mrs. Kathy moved over to Deacon’s side and asked.
“Miss Oriana, who is this?
