A Beautiful Misunderstanding

"Really?" A glimmer of hope shone in Hanson's eyes.

Essie nodded. She desired nothing more than freedom.

He took her face in his palms and placed an affectionate kiss on her forehead. Looking at her with his loving eyes, he said, "From now on, I will be with you all the time. Even for a second, I won't leave you."

"Okay." She tried her best to force a smile. But there was something unnatural about her expression. He noticed that both her lips and face were pale as a white sheet. It seemed like she hadn't eaten anything for days. With sincere concern, he said, "Haven't you eaten yet? How about I take you to eat steak?"

She shook her head. In the past two days, she had lost her appetite. She was very upset and felt repulsed by the sight of food. Even the tastiest food seemed to have lost its flavor.

Her mind was always busy replaying her memories with Zac. He was a drug that had her addicted! She hoped time would heal this pain.

"If not steak, what do you want to eat?" he asked.

"I'll cook some noodles later," she replied, but there was no enthusiasm in her voice.

With a smile on his face, he teased, "Do you want to try my special braised noodles?" He was the man every girl dreamed of! His talent extended to the kitchen as well. In the past, Florey had been busy and was compelled to work overtime. Ever since he was five, he had been cooking for himself.

There was a glimmer of admiration in Essie's eyes. She would love to eat his hand cooked food. "I don't know if everything you need will be there in the kitchen. I have neglected grocery shopping," she said.

"Let me check." He smiled and stood up, taking out noodles, tomato, eggs and ham from it. "Yes! Everything I need is here," he announced happily.

When he went into the kitchen, she was waiting for him like a little greedy cat.
