We are poles apart

Bella's POV

The dinner is going on quite well. I was worried about his likings but to my surprise, he is devouring it with delight. I know this meal can't pay back whatever I owe him, but it can atleast convey my gratitude for his help.

Come to think of it he is helping me whenever I'm in trouble. But in the news articles, he is portrayed as cold and stern CEO who only knows how to pull long face and stay gloomy. Strange....he looks just fine to me.

Our conversation are also quite normal. He didn't seem egoistic to me except when I asked him for money. He really compared me to his bed partners at that time. But I think after knowing my situation he never misjudged me.

Heck he didn't even made me feel inferior to him. We are poles apart in terms of money and status. But it seems like he didn't mind befriending someone like me.

Everything was going fine until my daughter breaks the silence. How many time I have told her to not talk while eating? And what is more she even suggested him to marry me! That too because I cooked good food.

This is not right. Cooking can't alone decide happy married life. Also she is too young to play the cupid here. She don't know the complexities of emotions yet. But who can make her understand?

I looked at him and keep looking at him while I thought intensely how marriage and cooking are not related. He looked cute with those doe eyes. But here, my mind also got frozen from the question so I didn't think of doing anything other than looking back at him wide eyed.

No Bella this is not the time to stare at him. So I broke the eye contact and looked at my daughter. She is blinking her eyes so cutely, totally unaware that she made it so awkward right now.

This situation is making me embarrassed and I'm sure my face has started to turn red by now. I glared at her to make her understand her mistake. I don't do it often as she is sensitive to this.

She looked at me apologetically. Seriously if she pouts like that then who will have the heart to scold her.

Rachel: I just want him as my daddy. He liked my mumma's food also. He is handsome too..

Again just because he is handsome I can't marry him. Now I know. According to her if a woman cooks good food and a man is handsome, then they should get married. I'm going to cut down her movie time.

I wanted to shout the reason but I can't as the girl is still little. I don't usually like to scold her. Kids are really delicate and also shouting affects their emotions.

But when I looked at Lucas, he signaled me with his eyes. Guess he also want to get rid of the uncomfortability. This topic need to be dropped here. So I made my little girl realise her mistake.

Bella: Rachel you are still small baby right? Let mumma make such big decisions. You only focus on your food... remember we should not talk while eating.

I don't know if she understood the situation. Atleast I reminded her to eat her food quietly.
