Chapter 225 - Special day
On the next day both of them decided to take a day off. Scott planned to spend some quality time with Jean and take her to date, but after coming back to the city and getting exposed with their identities, they didn’t get a chance to enjoy like a normal couple.
After giving some thought they are obvious that it will be quite risky. If they are sighted together their whole plans will be disrupted. So, Scott took Jean to one of his farm house. Not too far from the city but enough far so others would not disturb them.
It is quite a scenery with trees decorating every nook and corner of the farm. It also have a small artificial lake at the south end of the house, given with the perfect weather it felt even more refreshing and romantic.
As soon as they got there, she changed into some comfortable clothes while Scott discreetly phoned his mother to ask about Jean’s favorite recipes which Raymond’s mother suggested. Those dishes are indeed her favorites prepared only by her mother when she was alive.
He decided to give her a experience of another romantic dinner. When they use to be in their previous country, they often use to indulge in enjoying all these incidents.
After getting order from their master, his staff started preparing a cozy little venue for his sudden date near the lake. Jean is oblivious of what is happening and just thought it as a normal day off.
When Jean pleaded with him not to leave her alone, his heart ached for her. How can she still feel insecure, even after he showered her with all his love and life. No one can deny that he pampered her beyond rotten, but for Scott it is still not sufficient. He started to feel that she should be pampered and loved even more than this. He is adamant to shove some sense into her silly mind that he would never ever let her go away from him.
Not even when they die.
Little did he knew he misunderstood her words. She didn’t mean it in that way. What she wants to tell him is not to leave her alone when she will be meeting his grandmother, how could he forget that she was all alone to herself when she met both his parents. He didn’t accompany her, but everything went well because they already love and cherish her. But now it is not the same scenario, she needs all the support she can get from him.
Anyway, he still decided to pamper her more and more till she starts to totally rely solely on him. He wants her to trust him with her life and soul. He desperately wanted to show her how much he loves her.
At morning they went for horse riding and also roamed around the garden. Holding their hands and leaning into each other, they have never parted even for few seconds. It is like they are part of one body and same soul.
As like always Jean is greatly moved by his simple gestures, she never expected anything more than this. All she wanted is simple and happy life with him, though she knows that it is highly impossible.
After sun rises high in the sky, both of them went back in the villa. They cuddled and enjoyed their favorite movie like old times. Talking about old times they do really missed it, cherishing moments and all alone to themselves.
No one to pester them nor any surprising visits from the parents. Both are the mysterious CEO’S with low profile, they use to have very beautiful week days and happy get together at weekend. But sunday is exclusively for their private time. Waking up late, Scott cooked their lunch while Jean cleaned their room. After seeing some good movies in afternoon they roamed around the city aimlessly and before the day ended, they decided to have a romantic dinner and a peaceful night.
In evening Scott and Jean went to near by tourist spot, it is local carnival and was unusually busy and bustled with people. After playing some silly and childish games Jean was so delighted, honestly her mother had never allowed her to do all these adventures.
She always wanted her daughter to be soft, delicate and lady like, she didn’t wanted her daughter to become like her.
Scott held her in his embrace, he is very happy to see her like this. It has been almost half year, when they acted this carefree and ordinary. He knew this is the life she wanted... yet, If isn’t for Jean’s revenge they would have still continued to stay low key.
They freshened up for dinner and Jean wore the white long gown Scott has asked her to wear. But when Jean is about to enter dinning hall, he scooped her in his arms and carried her out of the house. She squealed but stayed silent after seeing his twinkling eyes, he is grinning like a child who found his Christmas gift.
Jean only concentrated and stared at his mesmerized face and failed to notice the candles and colorful lights decorated on either sides of the lane. If she would have seen these, she probably would be gaping and drooling all over his shirt.
When she came back to her senses, she was already sitting in the chair across him. It is the table only for two with candles decorated on it, from the place where she sat she can see the lake with artificial waves hitting the shore. The soothing music and warm breeze gave her instant calmness and cherishing moments.
Scott chuckled and ordered the staff to bring the food he exclusively cooked for her. Grinning at her, he served her wine and food like a gentleman, his eyes shone with love and compassion while he saw her dazed yet madly alluring face.
Jean took one bite while staring at his twinkling eyes. As soon as food touched her tongue she momentarily froze. These are some of the dishes only her mother knows how to cook, she once told that these were the same recipes her own mother use to cook for her.
Scott smiled excitedly and stood up from his place. Slowly yet elegantly he walked up to her, his eyes never leaving her teary eyes. He took her hand and escorted her to the platform decorated with flowers and lights while the artificial snow showered on them from the low ceiling.
They melted into each other like a perfect couple. Both of them moved rhythmically to the melodious song. His lips grazed on her neck and bare shoulders as he gave her some butterfly kisses.
Jean is so occupied to notice anything, Scott is indeed romantic but he is not a kind of person who would just do all these without any special occasion. But what is so important on this day that he prepared all these things for her.
While she is still in daze, he suddenly stopped dancing as the music changed into even more calm and slow pace. As the clock tick twelve, the whole sky lit up with fire crackers.
Before she could understand what’s happening he kneeled on one of his leg and took her cold hand into his.
"Scott, what are you doing?" Jean asked him all surprised with his sudden gesture.
"Proposing you again wife," he grinned at her dumbfounded face. And took the diamond ring out of his pocket.
Jean looked at him confusingly and yet her brain didn’t work on the fact and importance of the day.
"It’s exactly been two years since I proposed you. But the vows I recited then are out dated. So, I am taking advantage of this day and is going to propose you again very elaborately," Scott said in his deep and emotional tone.
Tears just rolled down her face with this sudden surprise...
