Chapter 44 This Development Is a Little Too Fast Selena wondered if she should give herself to him later that night, but he had only just proposed to her without even any confession of love beforehand, and she did not know what he had in mind.
In fact, she didnât even know what she herself thought about this matter. Regardless, we should be taking it slow, right? Isnât this development a little too fast? After all, we have only known each other for a month.
The phone ringing broke the silence in the kitchen. At first, Pierre was a little annoyed, but the ringing kept urging his brain to return to normal, so he left Selenaâs lips and picked up the call.
When he turned around, Selena hurriedly wiped her lips, which felt numb, raw and even a little sore. This is my first kiss, right?
She hadnât even kissed Finneas before, and as for that first time of hers, she couldnât remember it at all.
âI got it.â Pierre hung up the phone. The call was from Niall, who was waiting for him at the airport.
After the kiss, the two of them looked at each other awkwardly.
âIâll cook right away!â Selena came back to her senses and immediately prepared to cook.
âDonât do it. Your hand is injured.â Pierre paused and then said, âIâll do it.â
âHuh?â Selena looked on in amazement at Pierre, who started to skillfully cut the vegetables. As he stood in front of the low counter, his tall figure caused him to have to bend over, which made him look a bit awkward. Selena thought that men should know how to cook as well, but this was the first time she actually saw a man cooking, and it was a man with such a masculine vibe to boot.
Previously, she had always heard people say that men looked a bit girly when they cooked, but when she saw the way Pierre cooked, she thought he was really stunning. This handsome man actually proposed to me!
Soon, Pierre was done making two bowls of noodles, and they sat at the table, eating slowly in silence. After eating the noodles, Pierre got ready to leave as he was already running late for his flight.
âIâm leaving.â
âOh, Iâll send you off then.â
The atmosphere between the two people was a little awkward and strange as they walked to the door together.
âUh, safe travels I guess?â
âAlright.â Pierre turned to leave.
âUm...â Then, Selena came up to him once more, feeling like her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She could practically hear her own heartbeat. Thump, thump, thump.
In fact, when Pierre accompanied Juniper through that dark time, she had thought that she could give herself and Juniper a chance, and they could start another life together; maybe it would also be a chance for the two little boys as well.
âI want to say... I...â Selena rubbed her hands together uneasily as she tried to find her words. In the meantime, Pierre looked at Selenaâs hesitant look, his face going cold. âI forgot to tell you that Iâm going on a business trip tomorrow.â
Selena jerked her head up to look at him. âB-Business trip?â She never thought that his work required him to travel.
âYes, Iâll be away for a while.â As he answered her question seriously, he looked her in the eyes as well.
âOh... Then...â This sudden news caused Selena to feel very uneasy as she fiddled with the ring on her finger. âWhen are you coming back?â
âI donât know.â Staring at Selenaâs anxious look made Pierre suddenly feel reluctant to go again.
âThen should I get them both over here and Iâll take care of them for you?â
âNo need for that.â
âThen... Okay, then Iâll wait for you to come back.â Selena used a lot of courage to say the last few words; after all, this sentence sounded rather cheesy.
