Chapter 464: Celebration
It feels... peculiar," Olivia murmured, her gaze lingering on the casserole dish Seb had just set in front of her. Seb, noticing her apprehensive expression, raised an eyebrow as he discarded his mittens and settled into the seat opposite her. "You haven’t even tasted the dish and you are calling it peculiar. You hurt me Olivia Brown-Frost!"
Olivia rolled her eyes as she watched him put a hand to his heart and pretend to be wounded. "Stop with your theatrics! You know I am not talking about the casserole!"
Seb chuckled, feigning innocence," Olivia Brown, are you saying that I feel peculiar?"
"Shu* up, Seb!! I am not talking about you! Stop doing that to distract me! I am talking about us!" Olivia grumbled as she took the serving spoon and helped herself to the casserole.
"Since when did you adopt such a pessimistic outlook? What are you worried about?" Seb asked quietly as he stood up to get the surprise he had prepared for her. Though he too, was worried about what she would say.
"Don’t you think that things are going too well for us? I mean, just a few months ago, we were avoiding each other like the plague. But now, we are together, married no less. And happy. Something just doesn’t seem right..."
"So, us being happy together is peculiar?", Seb asked as he returned with a bowl of her favourite baked mushrooms and babycorn dish, placing it next to her plate.
She was about to say something, irritated with him purposely misunderstanding everything when she caught a glimpse of the food in the bowl. The next second, she started crying, shocking both herself and Seb.
Hurriedly, he rushed around the table and knelt down in front of her, gathering her in a hug," Don’t cry, Olivia! Okay, okay. I won’t try to make this humorous. I know you are worried about us but everything will be alright! We’ve known each other a long time and can face everything together! Don’t cry!"
