Chapter 261 - Eros's Hurdle

Selene had a good night's sleep last night. Their Project Launching and Kick-Off was a success. Aside from that, she and Eros confessed their feelings to each other. They were now an official couple.

When Selene opened her eyes, Eros was no longer beside her. She heard the sound of running water inside her bathroom. She assumed that Eros was taking a bath right now.

Selene hugged her pillow while smiling from ear to ear. Her heart was still fluttering whenever she would remember last night's confession.

She raised her hand, watching the beautiful diamond ring given by Eros. He made this ring using his magical power. Eros was also wearing a silver ring that matched her own ring.

They looked like they were already husband and wife who got married. The love was overflowing inside her heart. Now, she couldn't think of how she could live without Eros.

Selene looked at her bedside table. She took her grandmother's photo and started talking to her.

"Grandma, I hope you can see how happy I am because of Eros. Don't worry about me. Eros is here to make me smile and he promised to protect me."

Selene caressed Grandma Elysa's face in the photo.

"I'm sorry, Grandma. I can't be with Renz. But I will be his friend. I hope you will accept Eros as well just like how you rooted for Renz. Grandma, you know how loving Eros is. He took care of us and showed us his love."

"You can rest assured that Eros will never make me cry…"

After she was done talking and greeting Grandma Elysa in her photo, Selene put it back to her bedside table. 

She decided to get up and prepared breakfast for both of them. She was about to leave the bed when she noticed some white feathers scattered on her bed.

Selene picked one feather and observed it carefully.

"Huh? This looks like Eros's feather. Did he sleep last night without hiding his wings?"

Selene smiled at that thought. She felt like she was still in euphoria. Who would have thought that she would get a handsome angel as her boyfriend? 

And most likely, he would become her future husband because she could think that she would not want anyone in this world aside from Eros.

She had sworn to love him forever. Her ring was the sign of her promise. They made a new contract last time. And it came from the bottom of their hearts.

Selene collected Eros's feathers. She kept it inside her empty jewelry box. She loved Eros's wings. They were so soft, warm, and fluffy. They were also beautiful and magical.

After fixing her bed, Selene came out of her room to cook breakfast. Eros was still inside the bathroom.

Eros didn't know that Selene was already awake. He planned on cooking and serving her breakfast in bed after showering but Selene already went downstairs.

Eros was done bathing but he still remained standing in front of the wide mirror, just staring at his reflection.

He should look happy today since he finally told Selene about his feelings. He didn't need to worry about Renz anymore since they were now a couple. He heard from Selene that she loved him.

However, Eros was feeling down today after knowing that his wings were slowly disappearing. This was part of his punishment for breaking the rule. This was the hurdle he needed to overcome from now on after choosing Selene and their forbidden love.

He didn't regret his decision but he couldn't help but feel sad. For an angel, losing his beautiful magical wings was too painful for them.

But thinking that he would be with Selene, it was enough to ease the pain of losing his precious wings. For him, this sacrifice was all worth it.

But this was not the only punishment that he would get. He had to give many more sacrifices. And Eros had already decided to hide this from Selene because he didn't want her to worry about him. Aside from that, he didn't want to talk about those punishments.

After gathering himself, Eros left the bathroom with a bright smile painted on his face.

He was about to check Selene's sleeping figure when he was surprised that Selene was already gone.

'Oh God, Don't tell me she is already awake. I planned on serving her breakfast in bed but I ended up wasting lots of time inside the bathroom.' Eros smacked his forehead.

Because he was bothered and his mind was occupied by so many things, he failed to notice the time.

Eros put some clothes on before leaving the room in a hurry. He wanted to assist and help her in the kitchen.

Upon reaching the kitchen, Eros saw Selene washing some vegetables in the sink.

'I wonder what is on her menu today. What is she planning to cook?' Eros smiled inwardly, slowly approaching Selene.

He wanted to surprise her by hugging her from behind. And Eros didn't fail. Selene almost jumped from surprise when she felt Eros's hands encircling her waist.

"Hey, I didn't sense your presence. Did you fly over here? I didn't hear your footsteps," Selene said jokingly.

Eros fell silent after hearing that. He realized he could no longer fly since he was losing his wings. That was the reason why Eros decided to bring Selene last night while flying above the sky.

That was the last time they would be able to do that so he made the most of their time just flying around last night.

"Eros, is there something wrong?" Selene asked him when he didn't get any response from him. 

Eros quickly concealed his emotions and put on a charming smile before answering her.

"Nothing, sweetheart! But I would prefer to hear you calling me by our endearment," Eros said, his mood back to normal.

Selene giggled and she put the vegetables on the tray before facing Eros.

She cupped his face, giving him a peck on his lips.

"Good morning, my Baby! My handsome angel!"
