Chapter 162 - dont you love me anymore?

Her pair of jet black, almond-shaped eyes pierced through his deep, sharp alluring gaze. Their eyes both squint as the atmosphere turned more pressing, while the ticking sound of the wall clock resonated across the penthouse suite.

Currently, they were having a meal. While eating, Dragon kept on putting different dishes on Seraphina's plate. At first, she didn't reject and happily eats them. Alas, she already had her fill but his action seems to not stop any minute.

"Baby? Don't you love me anymore?" She frowned as she retracted her gaze from him.

Dragon calmly put down his chopsticks. It's been a week since she moved in. Sometimes, he felt that instead of being a newly-wed couple -- it is more like he adopted her.

She likes being petted and pampered yet, she also doesn't want to. Just like today, he was just putting the same amount of foods she consumed last night but now she was complaining.

Moreover, she was questioning his feelings for her. Though he never admitted that she was the only woman in his heart -- for him, treating her exceptionally different and special is enough for her to know.

"I'm sooo full~!" Seraphina murmurs as she put some dishes on the side of her plate. Still not hearing a response from him, she cupped her cheeks and added,

"Baby, are you afraid I'd run wild again?"

"No,"

"Then why are you not working?" Seraphina probed further. In her seven days of stay in his place, the man always stays in his room.

Actually, at first, the only bond they have is their meal time. But since Seraphina's hate for foreboding boredom always lurks around her, she pesters him the whole day -- which somehow made them a little closer.

Though it was surprising that he doesn't seem too annoyed about it, alas, she remembers that he seemed to be a busy man. Thus, she was baffled when he wasn't going anywhere and joined her hashtag bum life.

"On a leave." He lied professionally. Though her first question was indeed correct -- he'll better keep this little secret to his grave.

"Till when?"  

"Why?"

"Hmm..." Seraphina rubs her chin as she pondered about something. After a brief time, she answered,

"Well, I only have a week left before going back to country y." Seraphina's mood suddenly became sullen realizing her short remaining days.

Dragon wasn't surprised about her statement because he already knew about it. "What do you want to do then? Drink?"

"Baby! Is that how you see me?" Seraphina spats out, dispirited. She added,

"It's not fun anymore. I only need my baby's company. Let's drink together, hehe!"

Though he was used to her finger curling lines, he was somewhat accustomed to her. But still, deep inside him, he felt flattered.

"Why do you always drink?" Before he knew it, Dragon spoke his mind. It always intrigued him regarding this behavior of her -- to the extent of asking some of his close officials in the organization the reason for a person to drink so much.

Seraphina kept her silence as she stared down with her plate. She then plays the food left without uttering a word. She murmurs in a solemn manner,

"because I'm sad..."

Seeing that her mood drastically change, Dragon did not probe further -- respecting her silence. Whatever the cause of her sadness, he secretly swore to make her happy.

Alas, Seraphina finally decided to give him details about her reason for running wild.

"My friend fell deeply in love with my another friend. Though they rarely agree in one thing -- I think the phrase opposite attracts suits them well. After years of nonstop bickering and misunderstandings, they finally confessed their real feelings and starts their bittersweet love story. They should be married if only…" Seraphina halted -- not finishing her sentence.

Dragon never sees her so lonely with the short amount of time he spent with her. She was always cheerful and crazy.

In his perspective, Seraphina must've been too attached with her friends for her to be depressed like this.

"But they broke up. Hehe. So, I want to experience everything while I'm young. No regrets," From the sullen mood, she instantly transforms to her bright usual self.

However, Dragon saw through her lies and didn't buy the ending of her story but, he could only pretend he understood.

'What happened?'
