"Excuse me? What do you mean?"
Kevin gave a thought to Ally's words and rubbed his eyebrows. "Just do it."
Then he hung up the phone.
It would be better if Ally didn't know how he and his family handled things in case she worried.
True to his words, he went to sleep in the living room that night.
The next day, it was nearly noon when Ally woke up.
She wandered around the whole villa but didn't find Kevin, assuming that he must have left for work.
Alone in a gigantic and empty villa, she felt a bit sad, so she went back to her room to wash her face. Her phone suddenly rang before she could dry her hands, and it was Kevin.
As soon as she answered the phone, Kevin's low sexy voice came to her ears. "Are you up?"
Ally blushed because she didn't mean to sleep till noon. Usually, she doesn't need much sleep. She didn't know why she had such a good sleep last night.
She stuck out her tongue and replied.
"What do you want for lunch?"
Hearing what he said, Ally thought he would come back soon. So she said, "whatever. "
"Just pick something, I'll have someone delivered to you."
Only now did she know that he was not coming back for lunch. She was a bit disappointed.
"I prefer something light, but I'm not a fussy eater."
Kevin said OK and went silent.
So there was an awkwardly long silence. Just as she was wondering if she should hang up, Kevin suddenly said, "Some daily necessities and clothes will be sent to you this afternoon. Just open the door when they come."
Ally nodded. Then she realized that he couldn't see her nodding, so she said. "Okay."
Then they lapsed into silence again.
Ally began to wonder if he was too bored at work. But why was he so quiet on the phone?
After a long pause, she finally asked tentatively, "Do you have anything else to say? Should l hang up?"
However, there was still silence on the other side of the phone. After a while, Kevin said in a low voice, "I'll take you to dress up at 4. Come with me to our family dinner tonight."
Ally took a moment to catch on. What family dinner?
Was he going to make an announcement about their relationship?
She could feel herself blushing. She hesitated for a moment and then went on, "Is it too soon?"
Her words surprised Kevin.
He cheered up immediately, with a big smile on his face.
It surprised him that she admitted to their relationship!
It seemed that she knew his feelings towards her.
Elated, he said primly, "We're married now. It's only a matter of time for people to know."
