Chapter 655: He Loves Me
At The Yang Globals Hospital
Kenzie sighed when the medicine the doctor gave to her father finally started to take effect. She gently removed his hand from her wrist that he had not let go of while he was awake.
She stared for a minute at his peaceful face as he was sleeping, before she stood up and told Butler Mark, "Daryl is waiting for me at the cafe. I will just go and check on him."
When Butler Mark nodded in understanding, Kenzie immediately went out to go to the cafe where her husband waited. She smiled seeing how his eyes were fixed at a distance and he would sigh once in a while.
Leaning over to him, she whispered in his ear, "A penny for your thoughts, my darling?"
"Oh you're here…" he said as he moved up the bench so Kenzie could sit beside him.
"I'm just worried. It seems like your father doesn't like me currently," Daryl voiced out loud.
Kenzie giggled and hugged his arm. "Don't worry, I'm sure he will start liking you soon. Just show how sincere you are to his daughter and you will definitely win his trust."
"Of course, I will do just that," Dary could not declare his selfishness of having to part from his wife because he knew that his father-in-law needed his daughter, especially at a time like this. He wondered how and when had he become this possessive of Kenzie where he could now not imagine sleeping alone on their bed.
"Just that?" Kenzie asked.
"Never mind. Let's just eat together and I will head home first. I will pick you up tomorrow morning for work," Daryl said.
"Alright, let's eat,? I'm starving," Kenzie went along with his suggestion and called the waiter to order food since the cafe also had main dishes on their menu.
The couple had a hearty dinner together and Kenzie walked her husband to the entrance where their driver was already waiting with the car. But Daryl was not letting go of Kenzie's hand.
Kenzie looked at it and whispered, "Let go. I have to go back. Dad will look for me, for sure, once he opens his eyes again."
Daryl pulled her closer and sighed deeply as he kissed her forehead.
"I feel so clingy for the first time in my life and I don't want to leave just yet nor do I want to sleep alone on our bed," Daryl confessed. The confession caught Kenzie off-guard.
He was now hugging her tightly as if he was never going to let go. She was squealing in happiness inwardly because it felt so good, that Daryl was becoming more attached to her now. She did not mind him being this clingy because she loved it.
"Hmm, go home, for now, darling. Tomorrow I will be with you, okay? I'm sure father will be more stable tomorrow and will be willing to let me out of his sight once I have explained the current situation, especially pertaining to the company." Kenzie said and felt Daryl loosen his hug.
She raised her arms and hooked them around his neck and leaned forward and gave him a breathtaking kiss.
"Good night. Sleep well, okay and dream of me," Kenzie whispered on his lips and then pushed him into the car.
"I can feel that he loves me deeply already," she whispered as she gazed at the departing car. She then turned around and walked back inside the hospital with a bright and sparkling smile covering her face.
*****
Back at Brix's Apartment, Brix caressed Cris' face and stared at her for some time. It looked like he had tired her too much that she dozed off to sleep.
He gently and quietly rose up from the bed to go to his kitchen and prepare dinner. It was almost time for dinner and he wanted to cook something special for Cris. While he was cooking, he was also busy thinking of how he should open up to Cris with regards to everything connected to his mother. He wanted to be honest with her because Cris had been honest about her feelings for him.
Cris loved him and although he was not sure about his feelings for her, one thing that he was sure about, was that he had feelings for Cris and he could picture being with Cris for a lifetime. He had a bashful smile on his face. Who would have thought that his life would change like this? He was starting to think of a future with Cris and that got him all excited.
He had been overwhelmed upon hearing Cris' confession of love earlier and he honestly thought Cris was too good for him. He was already having doubts if he deserved someone like Cris.
In an hour, he was almost finished cooking and was about to walk back into his room when his mobile phone rang.
"Where are you? Come home right now, Brix! You're really testing my patience, huh?" he heard his mother shouting. He suddenly regretted turning on his mobile phone.
"I want some space right now, mom, please. I won't come home for the time being. I will have someone come to check on your health. If you threaten me again about your health then I will do the same, mom. I'm not kidding. I have already had enough and losing my life will be nothing compared to being a puppet for your? greed."
After saying his piece, he immediately turned his phone off and heaved a long sigh. He was startled when he felt arms encircling his waist and felt a soft body brush against his back.
He smiled knowing that it was Cris.
"Hungry? I was about to wake you up for dinner, but I suddenly got a phone call," Brix whispered as he turned around to face Cris.
"Hmm, are you alright?" Cris asked, touching his cheek lovingly. She had heard him on the phone and looking at his expression, she could tell he was not in a good mood.
"I am now, seeing you and holding you like this in my arms," Brix answered as he leaned down to capture Cris' still swollen lips with his own.
Cris wrapped her arms around his neck as she answered his kisses hungrily. Brix was so aroused that he wanted to take Cris once again right there, but he controlled himself and gently pulled back.
"I will let you have dinner first," Brix said as he moved to set the table.
"I have to go after dinner," Cris informed Brix because she had not yet visited Master Jack at the hospital. She wanted to see him tonight so she had planned a quick visit to the hospital after dinner.
"Alright, I will drop you off," Brix said with a smile.
"No!" Cris suddenly answered, making Brix crease his forehead.
