The waiter standing at the door smiled at her respectfully. "Greetings, Miss Edwards. Here is your food."
Raelynn replied, "Thank you. I'll push the cart in by myself."
"Alright, Miss Edwards. What would you like to eat for dinner, if I may ask? Mr. Alwynn said that a big lobster has just been delivered by air. If you want to eat that, the kitchen will immediately prepare it. If you have anything else you'd like to eat, you can call the receptionist beforehand to notify us."
At the thought of the lobster, Raelynn's appetite was whetted considerably. Was Kenneth such a caring person?
He was not there, but she could still feel his concern for her.
"Then please prepare the lobster for me and send it here at seven o'clock. Don't make it too spicy. I'd like a light meal."
"Noted, Miss Edwards. Enjoy your food!"
After the waiter left, Raelynn slowly pushed the cart in.
She left it at the side of the table and set the dishes on the tabletop. The portion for each dish was small, but there were a variety of dishes. All the eight dishes on the table were exquisite and expensive, special meals and desserts. There was even a bowl of rice pudding.
Raelynn was taken aback. How did Kenneth know that she loved rice pudding?
Raelynn picked up the spoon and stirred it gently. The whole room was filled with its sweet fragrance.
She smiled and lowered her head to take a bite. Then, the phone on the bedside table rang.
Raelynn got up again to get her phone, but she walked a little stiffly.
She picked up her phone and saw the contact name: Future Husband.
Raelynn was shocked.
Was it Kenneth?
She slowly pressed the accept button.
"Hello."
"You're awake?"
Sure enough, Kenneth's deep and pleasant voice came from the other end of the line.
"Yes." Raelynn was a little embarrassed, peeking down at her toes.
"Are you upset?" Kenneth was a man of few words. He wasn't good at cheering people up. The only reason he took the initiative to speak up was because he thought that he had to be more proactive in pursuing a girlfriend.
He had never been in a relationship, but he had seen people around him fall in love, such as the playboy, Nathaniel.
To make a girl happy, there was no limit to what Nathaniel would do. His master was another skirt-chaser. In recent years, when he was with them, he could occasionally appreciate the thrill of chasing girls. But there wasn't any girl he really liked or wanted to pursue.
He was only interested in a love which would last.
He had a female junior, a very gentle and lovely girl. After a brief period with her, he was left with the impression that girls liked more proactive men.
Raelynn was indeed somewhat unhappy. Only then did she realize that a woman in love would become an idiot who wanted to be together with her lover regardless of the circumstances.
"That's right, I'm not happy. The man who confessed his love to me this morning was gone when I woke up. How am I supposed to be happy? Have you seen a couple in love acting that way?"
The more she talked, the angrier she became. As a girlfriend, she had the right to be angry, didn't she?
"I'm sorry! I'll be more thoughtful in the future. This business trip is very important. The last time I went to the wrong room, that was all schemed by the daughter of the Myers Family. I'm on this trip to discuss cooperating and help avenge you." A sincere apology came from the other end of the line.
Raelynn wanted to scream.
What was that about helping her? Why did she have to be dragged into it?
"Well... well, because you've clarified it, as your girlfriend, I forgive you." After Raelynn finished speaking, she blushed a bright red.
When Kenneth heard her calling herself his girlfriend, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Thinking of the fact that they were a couple, he couldn't help smiling.
"Rae," he said tentatively.
Raelynn was taken by surprise. That was the first time he had called her that. It was such a sweet and endearing nickname.
"What... what is it?" She became tongue-tied.
"Wait for me to return"
"I will."
