Chapter 151: In-house Cinema/Story teller
The soft glow of the evening sun filtered through the sheer curtains as Ruby stepped into their bedroom, her steps faltering the moment her eyes took in the sight before her.
Her breath caught as her eyes roamed around the room.
The entire room had been transformed.
The lights were dimmed to a golden hue, casting a warm, romantic glow over the space. Plush blankets and oversized pillows were spread across the floor in the center of the room, forming a cozy nest.
A small projector stood on a tripod at the foot of the bed, already casting playful movie previews onto the wall, while a bowl of popcorn sat on a tray alongside an assortment of candies and two glasses of sparkling water.
Her heart swelled. She could barely find words.
"Stefan," she breathed, her hand instinctively pressing to her chest. "What is this?"
She turned, her gaze searching, only to find him standing by the window, dressed casually in dark slacks and a soft gray sweater that clung perfectly to his frame.
He turned to face her and his gray eyes, instinctively locked on her hazel eyes, a small, boyish smile lifting the corners of his lips.
"I thought," he began softly, rubbing the back of his neck almost shyly, "since we never really got to have a proper movie date... maybe we could have one here. Just the two of us. No distractions. No stress."
"Wait, is this why you lied to me about the doctor wanting to see me and refusing to take me saying you needed to be somewhere else?" she asked, narrowing her eyes.
An hour earlier, Stefan had told her the doctor had requested her presence that he needed to check on her and the baby and when she’d agreed with hopes he’d be there with her, he’d told her he couldn’t take her that Martin would since the chauffeur would be taking him.
