"Hey, you can't blame me? Who knows it's poisoned? Why? Would you like it if I'm a glutton instead and eat everything offered by strangers?" Veronica reasoned seeing the change in his expression, but deep inside, she's smirking. But after another realization, she suddenly stomped on the man's foot.
Rawlf suddenly stopped and looked at his woman, confused. "What is it?"
"Yyyyyyou! Was that wasted moment in the Diamante hotel also planned?!"
Rawlf turned sheepish. Not because he was discovered but because that was the lowest tactic he had ever done in his whole life.
"Well..."
"Ugh! That is so corny!" Veronica laughed so hard she could only slap the man in the chest. "Oh goodness Rawlf! What were you doing! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
Veronica's whole face and neck flushed red from laughing so hard even the violinist stopped playing.
Since the romantic mood was now replaced by this awkward truth reveal, Rawlf silently signaled to the violinist that his service was no longer required. It would be Secretary Ryan who was waiting on the ground floor to settle the account with the violinist.
Veronica was laughing so hard, and despite the slight embarrassment he felt, Rawlf rubbed her back just in case she would lose breath from it.
"I know. I know. But it worked, didn't it? We even did another thing." Rawlf hits back teasing her just so she would stop from laughing. He was worried since she's very red now.
"Ugh. Ha, ha, but maybe because we're physically compatible with each other. But ha, ha, ugh, you, you, ha, ha."
Rawlf sighs in exasperation as he keeps on rubbing Veronica's back.
Basically the supposed to emotional and romantic night end up Rawlf trying to pacify Veronica from laughing so hard.
His face dimmed much because he was the reason of her laughter, and for once, it's not something that he could be proud of.
She even dared to teased him of telling this to their children when they slightly grow up.
Rawlf could only massage his nose bridge.
"I commend you for knowing my ring finger size. It fits perfectly." Veronica has stopped laughing and she is now on the bed, spreading her right hand, the ring suits her finger.
Rawlf's mood improved after seeing how she liked the proposal ring he gave her. He pulled her hands gently and kissed it.
"I'm glad it's to your liking."
"Yeah. This fit my taste. Simple, lightweight, and I could wear it everyday."
Rawlf smiled. He moved to pull her over in his embrace. "I'm also very glad that you accepted my proposal. I assure you, I will care, protect and love you. You and our cubs."
Veronica nuzzled in his chest and hugged him back on the waist. "And I you."
Soon, the room turned silent. What could only be heard is the even breath of the sleeping woman. The man on the other hand opened his eyes and feasted his eyes with the beautiful sleeping view of the woman he loved dearly in his embrace.
