Chapter 97: Chapter 97

"The dinner is so good. Isn't it honey?" Mrs.Hutson looked at her husband.

While he nodded and said, "Yeah, especially the dessert. The chef did a great job."

When Both husband and wife are busy talking. Edwin saw Rebecca finally complete eating her dessert but soon his eyes captured the cream on her lips corner.

"Miss Rebecca…"

Rebecca turned to look at Edwin.

"You got a little cream on your lips." Edwin pointed at himself to show where the cream was.

Rebecca immediately took the napkin and tried to wipe the cream without touching her lipstick, but did not succeed to catch the cream.

Edwin saw her little action and abruptly said," Let me do it."

Rebecca's eyes met his and she awkwardly nodded. But soon her eyes widened to see him getting closer to her face while his hand went to her cheeks only to make her feel frozen in her place while her eyes were always on him who never looked disturbed by her expression.

He used her thumbs to wipe her cream softly while his eyes went from her lips to her again.

"It's done." He softly said only to make her heart flutter more loudly.

But before they could get more into each other. The coughing sound made them immediately get back to their straight position. While Edwin's parents felt laughing to see how both people went to their position. Don't want to look awkward.

"I think we should join the party again." Mrs.Hutson teasingly said.

"Yeah, you are right! Honey!" Mr.Hutson responded with a grin.

"Son, you come with Rebecca. We are going first." Saying this both husband-wife stood together.

"Yes, Mom!" Edwin immediately nodded and stood from his chair.

Rebecca awkwardly stood behind him while her cheeks completely heated up to realize Edwin's parents saw their close interaction.

"Honey, I think, they both liked each other." Mrs. Hutson's eyes turned sparkling to guess that.

"Yes, Honey! I also think that. Did you see how close they got to dinner time?" Mr.Hutson asserted.

"Yes! And I can't help but feel too excited for them to be together." Mrs.Hutson can't stop her thrilled voice.

Mr.Hutson chuckled and nodded," You are right. I'm also waiting for them to get together. And I hope they both confess their love soon."

"Yeah, that's true. They need to be true to their feelings." Mrs.Hutson agreed to her husband's words.

"Let's just pray for them." Mr.Hutson gave a small smile.

"Yes, we should. If we want a grandchild soon from them." Mrs.Hutson added with a big smile only to hear a laugh from her husband.

"Honey, don't you think so? You are going too fast…" He raised his brows.

Mrs.Hutson frowned and said, "No. I think correctly. I just hope everything goes perfect."

Mr.Hutson sighed and nodded.

"Yes, that's true. Future never gets the way we expected."

"Mr.Edwin, Now, I think I should return home. Julia is alone in the home and her health is also not good." Rebecca clarified.

Edwin looked at the watch and it was already midnight. As a pregnant lady, she already stayed for a long time.

"Yes, it's already late enough. Let's go." Edwin commented to look at her.

Rebecca nodded.

Both of them started to walk and soon went to the entrance.

"Good night, Mr.Edwin." Rebecca bid a bye.

Edwin's brows raised as he asserted," Why are you saying this right now? I'm coming with you."

"What?" Rebecca could not help but be surprised.

"Yes, do you think? I'll let you go alone at midnight!" He turned serious.

"But this is your party, Mr.Edwin. You can't leave your party. And for me, I can go back home, by booking a cab."

"No, it's not going to be like this. You come with me. You will go with me."

"But…" She wanted to argue.

"No. 'But'..." He immediately added to make her shut.

"You will go with me. And this is your boss's order." He knew, only this way, he could stop her arguing.

Rebecca's lips which parted to say more shortly closed to hear his last sentence, and nodded helplessly in front of him.

Edwin wanted to smile at this moment but managed to built a serious bossy look before going towards his car, letting her follow him in slow motion.

The driver came out of the car and opened the back door for him. But he ordered him to lend the key and go back home.

The driver immediately gives the key from his pants pocket and left him alone.

Rebecca noticed the driver going somewhere but soon she saw Edwin standing in front of the car.

"Mr.Edwin, I saw the driver going somewhere."

"I told him to go back home because I'll drive today." Hearing him, Rebecca nodded.

Edwin turned to walk toward the front passenger seat and opened it for her.

"Get in."

Rebecca lightly nodded to him and went in his direction to get in the car while Edwin closed the door for her.

He moved around to the driver's seat door and got on shortly.

He put on the seat belt and Rebecca was still trying to pull the seat belt but it was not working, so Edwin asked her to stop doing that. He gets closer and pulled the seat belt for her.

Rebecca's heartbeat turned faster to get him closer to herself. She doesn't know why it's happening again and again but today she felt her heart going to play the drum for her. The way it beats every moment to feel Edwin closer to her.

After securing the seat belt, Edwin moved to his place but it doesn't mean he didn't notice her little flush face. He loved her cute reaction whenever he got closer to her.

He starts the engine and drives out of his house.

The car turned silent as they both were awkwardly silent halfway. But when he can't take this silence anymore, he starts the conversation.

"So…"

Hearing him, she turned her eyes from the outside view to him.

"Do you like the party?" He asked, while his eyes focused on the road.

Rebecca thought about it and finally nodded, "Yea, it's good. I never attended this type of rich party before but it's good."

Edwin glanced at her for a moment and smiled before landing his eyes again on the road.

"That's great." He asserted.

Rebecca gave a small smile and moved her eyes outside again.

Edwin felt they talked so little. But he was still happy to remember their long spending day tonight.

The dance, the dinner, the family reunion. Everything was perfect. He was already happy enough to get a chance to spend time with her. While he thought of thanking his dad for organizing this party in the first place.

If there is no party, how could he get the chance to dance with her and get her cute reaction all the time.
