Selena unconsciously took a bite.
Osvaldo smiled, "Is it sweet?"
Selena nodded her head.
"Really sweet," she said.
The sweet taste soothed her tired nerves and washed away the negative emotions like receding tide.
Selena bit into the chocolate, afraid that Osvaldo would run away again. She reached out and grabbed his wrist, and said vaguely, "I have something to tell you..."
She should have said it last night.
But like he was deliberately avoiding her, she failed to catch him twice.
She couldn't let him run away this time, no matter what she said.
Osvaldo seemed to see what she was thinking, and he stuffed a chocolate into her mouth again and smiled, "I promise not to run away this time."
Selena said nothing.
She looked at the way he acted and remembered the scene of being fed before.
Osvaldo never interfered in her affairs, but he was very strict in many details, such as one box of milk every day, no staying up late, never forgetting to eat even when busy, and eating even if the taste was not good, all must match her appetite...
She looked at the box of chocolates, nine in total. He wouldn't feed them all to her, would he?
Selena was worried. She took out one from the box, opened it, and fed it to Osvaldo, "I bought a box exactly like this today, intending to give it to you, but I accidentally lost it..."
Osvaldo looked into her eyes, chuckled softly, and obediently bit the chocolate.
Selena smiled and opened another one, placed it by his lips, and fed it to him as soon as he finished the first one.
Osvaldo's deep black eyes sparkled with joy, and he indulged her. He took out another one from the box and tore it apart slowly.
Selena took one as well, with a clear threat in her eyes.
If he fed her again, she wouldn't be polite either.
Osvaldo looked at her widened eyes and cautious expression, and a hint of warmth appeared in his eyes. When she had just finished eating the second one, he fed her another one.
Selena immediately returned the favor.
The two of them finished the box of chocolates in this way, leaving only one last piece.
Selena grabbed it first, "I got it first, so it's yours!"
Osvaldo looked at her as she peeled the chocolate, and when she handed it over, he snatched it and divided it in half, stuffing one half into her mouth.
Selena was speechless.
Do they really need to divide a chocolate so precisely?
But she still obediently took a bite.
The two of them, connected together, had eaten nine pieces of chocolate, and even the air seemed to carry a sweet chocolate scent.
The light outside the window slowly dimmed.
Night fell.
Selena took a deep breath, grabbed Osvaldo's hand, and looked into his eyes, "I have something to tell you."
Osvaldo's slender fingers inserted into her hair, gently combing through it, and said softly, "Okay."
Perhaps because the chocolate was too sweet, all the confusion and reluctance in Selena's heart seemed unusually calm at this moment. She looked at the man's delicate and almost unreal face, and heard the pleasure in his tone. Her eyes slightly curved, and then she bent down to pick up the divorce agreement that had fallen on the ground at some point and handed it to Osvaldo.
