Chapter 150: A Bouquet of Roses
Marcella waited by Tony’s office in the evening. He should not think that he can be the only one giving her a surprise. Joey was with his nanny back in their house. The entire evening was open for her.
She almost barged into his office when he was late but she didn’t want to disturb him while he was working. He didn’t tell her much but he was busy with something.
In the blinking lights and the sea of red around, Marcella watched the couples walking hand in hand. She used to get jealous of them in the past; she even got angry when she heard the giggles and laughs.
But this time is different, isn’t it?
After waiting for almost an hour, Tony stepped out of the office. It was snowing that day and Tony stood with his hands in his pockets and looked up the sky, letting the snowflakes fall on his cheeks.
Marcella’s heart clenched to see him so weary. He was getting home tired a lot these days and she thought that was worse. She didn’t know that was him after trying to gather himself before getting home.
My poor baby!
If it was her, she would have wanted to go to bed after a warm bath. But she didn’t think Tony would like that kind of refreshments. He was not letting her rest in the nights these days even though he was tired. He said that their togetherness energizes him like the water of a spring after a tiring hike.
She covered herself with her coat and got out of the car and walked to him. In the sea of people, he was still standing still like an immaculate marble statue. The snow collected on his shoulders and some of them melted on his forehead.
"Tony," she stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek.
"Birdie?" He raised his brows out of shock and his lips curved up out of glee. "What are you doing here?"
Marcella wiped his face with her handkerchief. "I wanted to take you on a date," she said. "Will you do me the honor?"
