Chapter 53

"As much as I want this to continue, Leo is waiting for you in the living room. He's probably shocked" Eva muttered

"What if he is shocked, he knows how I really feel about you, and it was rude for him, to not knock before entering, and more so he can wait" he tightened his hug.

"Wait, this isn't right, I didn't agree to be your girlfriend" she suddenly remembered, she tried to push him away.

"Oh, I am definitely not letting go now" he pulled her back into his embrace.

"So what do you say about being my wife," he wanted to see her reaction

"WIFE? What?" she almost jumped out of bed

"Relax... I meant girlfriend. For now" he followed her

"For now?"

"Oh I plan to send the rest of my life with you, which means you will eventually be my wife" he responded causally

"Who told you I want to spend the rest of my life with you?" she asked

"Well I do, so I will ask you again, will you be my girlfriend? he replied with a serious tone

"Ermm, I am still thinking about it" she answered shyly

"I think we both know how we both feel by now, what are you scared of?" he moved closer to her and hug her from behind. She had a long sigh and fell into deep thoughts

"Hmm, are you alright My Queen? you seem to be in deep thought" he nudged her

"I'm...well...I have to consider many things if I want to be in any kind of relationship"

"Things like what? I promise you my darling, I will do everything in my power to make you happy and protect you"

"But I already have a child, and you... what will people say... your reputation"

"My darling, I do not care about what people think of our relationship, and I don't care if you've had one child or twenty children, I promise I will accept them like they are mine, so please just let's be happy together"

She didn't know when tears started rolling down her face, her chest tightens, she felt so grateful, someone actually feels this way towards her. She has always in her entire life, try to prove her worth to people close to her.

"Oh babe, did I make you cry, I am so sorry, what can I do to make it up to you? I am really sorry" he felt so bad, he started panicking

"Oh silly, I am just so happy, thank you so much for showing me love, the way I never imagine" she turned around to hug him properly.

"You are not angry with me?" he asked confusingly

"No darling, i am not" she chuckled

"What a relief" he sighed and hugged her tightly

"Addy?" she called him suddenly

"Hmm"

"Yes I will," she said shyly

"You will what?" he was confused

"I will become your girlfriend"

Addy was speechless, he didn't say a word.

"Addy, did you hear me? Are you ok?" she checked his face and saw how blank his face was, she had to tap his cheeks before he responded

"I promise you from this day forward, you will be the happiest woman on this planet" he hugged her so tight she could barely breathe.

"I also promise to try to make this relationship work, no matter the condition, but first of all I need to seek my daughter's permission because I don't want to keep this part of my life from her, you know"

"I understand, if you want me to come and explain to her as well, I will gladly join you"

"No, let me do this myself, I'm sure she will understand"

"Ok, let us go eat breakfast."

"Yeah sure, but first of all I need to change, I can't wear this out of this room" he looked at the shirt she's wearing and realised it was transparent. He didn't notice that last night because it was dark, but now that the day is bright he can clearly see how transparent the shirt is.

"Hell no, you cannot wear this anywhere, but I love the shirt on you, and it is pleasing to my eyes" he teased her.

"Stop it, you perv" she smacked him before rushing into the bathroom and freshen up.

Addy left the room to attend to Leo, but when he got to the living room, he saw both Leo and Lilian, they sat far away from each other and were silent.

"Good morning" Addy greeted Lilian. She noticed he was in a very different mood this morning, he felt extremely happy.

"Good morning sir," she replied

"Oh you don't have to call me sir, just call me Addy"

"Ok, how is she this morning?" Lilian asked with a concerned voice

"She's so gorgeous"

"Oh for goodness sake Addy, shes asking hows her health?" Leo interrupted

"Ah, she is feeling better, she went to freshen up" he smiled awkwardly

"Ok, I brought her new clothes but he said I shouldn't go in or knock" she was referring to Leo. When she got to the penthouse, Leo was the one who opened the door for her, and she asked where Eva was, and he explained to her, she's still on the bed and would advise her not to disturb because Addy would be so angry. So she sat quietly and patiently waiting for them to come out.

"Let me take it to her" Addy replied as he collected the clothes from her before she could even react.

"Do you know if something happened between them, why does he feel so weird like he's the boyfriend or something?" she asked Leo

"Hmm" Leo pretended as if he didn't hear what she just said.

"Nevermind" Lilian didn't push any further

Minutes later, Eva and Addy came out of the bedroom, smiling at each other like the happiest couple.

"How are you feeling now?" Lilian rushed to hug Eva, she was worried about her despite Mark told her, she would be fine.

"Yes, I am feeling better now, thanks for the clothes. How is Rosie?"

"She's fine, she was a little bit sad you didn't call her yesterday, but she was happy this morning because she read the message you sent her, and she definitely is expecting your call."

"I will call her after breakfast, thank you so much"

Flo was observing what was going on, and her suspicion was proven right, he was definitely hiding a woman last night. She made breakfast for everyone and was about to excuse herself when Eva spoke

"You can also join us, Aunty, you made the breakfast, it wouldn't be fair to not taste and enjoy the food you made with your sweat?"

Flo was so shocked and surprised, she has never been offered to sit with her employees since the day she started working for them. Addy and Leo were also surprised.

"No madam, I wouldn't dare. Thank you for the offer, i appreciate" Flo spoke with admiration. This lady doesn't see her as a servent or housemaid but as a human being. She is so grateful and she already loves this woman.

"I insist, i wouldnt want to cook for someone and not try the food with them, i just think its not fair. Isnt that right babe?" she turned to Addy

"Yes i totally agree with you My Queen. Aunty Flo, please" he motioned to the empty chair, for her to seat.

Leo was so speechless 'oh no, shes wrapped him around her fingers, it is so good to see this side of Addy' he sudden bust out in laughter.
