After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 661

Chapter 661 Turn Down the Proposal

Susan stepped into her home with her shoes changed. There were several home-cooked dishes on the table, which looked appealing and smelled good.

"I'm ladling out the soup. Wash your hands, and we are going to have dinner." Henry said in the kitchen, sounding like they were a longtime married couple.

Susan nodded without a word. She changed her pyjamas and washed up. When walking out of the bathroom, she saw Henry waiting for her at the table. Seeing her approaching, Henry pulled out the chair and helped her sit in like a gentleman. Susan just sat down without a word. Returning to his seat, Henry served the soup for her at once. Susan felt uncomfortable with his over-considerate behaviours.

"You consume some food as well, Henry." Said Susan.

Henry smiled, "OK." Then he started eating.

So did Susan, silently.

"Are they good?" Henry asked.

"Yeah," Susan nodded. She had not tasted home-cooked for an extended period and was tired of the takeaways. These dishes gave her a good appetite.

"I am not sure if I'm still good at cooking. Haven't cooked for a long period." Henry muttered.

"Tastes good." Susan praised his cooking.

"I can cook for you more often if you like."

Susan paused and said, "No, thank you. I don't want to take your little spare time."

"My little fool," Henry showed a doting smile, "I am remorseful that I didn't spend enough time with you, but never again!"

Susan was about to say something, but Henry interrupted her, "Come on, eat up. You look emaciated these days."

Susan pursed her lips and ate silently.

After dinner, Henry offered to wash the dishes. Then he peeled some fruits for her and watched TV on the sofa. He had no signal of leaving as late as 10 pm. Susan screwed up her courage and said, "Henry, it is getting late now, and we have to work tomorrow. I think you should go home early."

"Well... can I stay here?" Henry asked suddenly.

Susan's heart pounded for the moment, flustered.

"I have gone out with you for a long time, but we are stuck at first base. Don't you think it is a little bit slow?" Henry asked with a smile, which made Susan hard to reject him. She remembered how much she desired to have sex with Henry before marrying Manuel; it was also true when she had just divorced Manuel. While now, she didn't want to sleep with him at all.

Henry's heart suddenly tensed because of Susan's silence. She didn't even disguise her rejection of him. Trying to conceal his feelings, Henry got down on one knee. Susan was astonished by his behaviour. She saw Henry take a delicate diamond ring from his pocket. The ring was sparkling in the lamplight.
