Chapter 103: Next Time
"Oh, I almost forgot. There would be more fireflies in the garden. Shall we go to the garden so you can get a closer look at them?" Ferdinand asked and he smiled when Arabella’s answer was obvious before she even said a word.
"I’d love to," Arabella quickly rose.
She’d love to see the fireflies a bit more closely. It was also about time they stopped kissing or Ferdinand would be too into it and long to go further. She was grateful he provided the distraction himself.
Ferdinand blinked repeatedly as he looked back and forth from her to his empty lap.
[Wait, she’s on my lap and in my arms just now. I could have waited until she’s stops me from kissing her again before suggesting the garden. Why did I go and stop everything myself?! We could have kissed more.]
’Too late for that.’
Arabella almost laughed as Ferdinand kept regretting and scolding himself. She kissed him on the cheek to stop his inner dilemma.
"We can continue next time," she smiled suggestively and he was wide-eyed.
[There’s a next time!] His face instantly brightened and he finally rose.
"Is that a promise?" he cupped her cheeks and made her meet his eyes.
"Yes."
