THE REASON

"I'll leave all this matter to all of you. I know she's still a little sensitive if I talk about marriage. I think we also need another approach." Said the man in the navy suit.

Meanwhile, the two husband and wife who sit opposite him smiled proudly and agreed to the man's proposal.

"Of course. In fact, mom actually planned all this. Mom will ask her to stay with you first." Said a middle-aged woman excitedly.

"Good idea. Take it easy, we will do our best. We'll make sure all this will be done before Christmas." In reply another middle-aged woman linked her hands together hopefully.

Felix laughs at the enthusiasm of his mother and future mother-in-law. Even their husbands only agreed to the wives' plans by nodding their heads and laughing in return.

"Roxanne?" called Felix from his bedroom. Felix has just taken a shower and can't find Roxanne in bed.

Before taking a bath earlier, Roxanne and Felix were watching a television program while hugging on the bed. However, suddenly Roxanne asked him to take a shower because she smelled a bad smell from Felix's body.

After changing into his warm clothes, Felix comes out of her bedroom, looking for Roxanne. Felix thinks maybe Roxanne is in the kitchen cooking dinner for them.

"Mon bébé, aren't you sleepy?" Felix asked when he found Roxanne who was standing in front of the glass window and hugged her from behind.

Roxanne slightly turned her head back, gave Felix a light kiss on the lips, and smiled. "I just made cream soup. Are you hungry?"

Felix seemed to be silent for a moment, before tightening his arms, and burying his head in the recesses of Roxanne's neck.

"Can't we just sleep?" asked Felix.

Roxanne turned around.

"No, Felix. We have to eat first, okay?"

Because Felix didn't answer her invitation, Roxanne was forced to drag her big, super spoiled baby to the pantry table. Roxanne immediately prepared a bowl of hot cream soup along with hot chocolate for her and Felix.

"Aren't you coming to eat?" asked Felix when he saw that Roxanne was only carrying a cup of hot chocolate.

Roxanne shook her head. "I ate earlier." Roxanne replied. Felix just nodded his head before he gobbled up the hot cream soup. Without comment.

"Isn't it still hot? Your stomach could hurt later." Roxanne said, staring in horror at Felix who was eating his hot cream coup like a hungry person.

Felix shook his head and swallowed. "Don't worry, Mon bébé, I can endure it all. It's not that hot anyway."

"So, the soup is cold already? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Do I need to reheat it first?" Roxanne panicked a little.

Felix raises his eyebrows after receiving a few questions from Roxanne. He got even more confused when Roxanne took the bowl of cream soup quickly. Even so fast, Roxanne didn't think that the bowl still felt hot in her hand and made her drop it and moan in pain.

"Aww." Roxanne groaned when she saw several small glass shards of the bowl stuck in the soles of Roxanne's feet.

Together with Roxanne's moaning voice, Felix jumps from the pantry table chair and approaches Roxanne who is sitting on the floor. "Hey, hey, are you okay? Why are you in such a hurry. Are you hurt? Let me see your feet."

A moment later, Roxanne forgot her pain and sobbed. Makes Felix look up at Roxanne and immediately calms her down.

"The bowl broke, Felix."

"Roxy, ssshh, it's okay. It's not your fault, okay. Come on, your leg needs to be treated." Felix said softly and carried Roxanne to their bedroom.

Felix lay Roxanne on the bed and let her lean on the head of the bed. After that, Felix immediately took the first aid kit and treated Roxanne's injured foot. Felix carefully picked up the remains of the glass bowl. Then, he smeared the wound with antiseptic medicine before bandaging it with gauze.

"Done. You can endure the pain, can't you?" asked Felix, worried. Roxanne smiled and shook her head. "I'm fine."

Felix put the first aid kit on the nightstand beside the bed and kissed Roxanne's forehead. There, he can see traces of Roxanne's tears on both cheeks.

"Please, don't cry anymore, OK." asked Felix, rubbing Roxanne's cheeks and kissing them both cheeks, trying to get rid of the trail of tears.

"Don't be careless anymore. I didn't ask you to heat up my cream soup but you took it in a hurry. You made me panic when suddenly crying. Don't be like that again, understand?" both Felix's beads stare at Roxanne.

Roxanne just smiled and nodded her head.

"Good girl." Said Felix and briefly kissed Roxanne's lips.

"I'll clean up the shards first. Get some rest, I'll catch up, okay?" said Felix as he took his first aid kit and pulled the blanket over Roxanne's legs.

Roxanne nods. "Hurry up."

"Hey, why aren't you sleeping yet?" asked Felix when he saw Roxanne playing with her cell phone. Felix climbs the bed and lies down beside Roxanne.

Before long, Roxanne turned off her cellphone and pressed her body against Felix's. "I am waiting for you."

Felix chuckled. "What's this? I still remember you forced me to shower because I smelled bad. You even left me right away." chuckled Felix.

"No, now you smell good. I like your smell. In the past, you also said you like my body smell." Roxanne replied.

"I still like your body smell. Very good." Felix sniffs the top of Roxanne's head and hugs her tightly.

"Felix?" called Roxanne later.

"Hm?"

"Felix?" call Roxanne again.

"What's the matter, xyxy?"

"Why do you insist on marrying me?" Roxanne asked - tilting her head.

Felix also looked Roxanne's eyes. "Why are you asking that all of a sudden?" Roxanne shrugs her shoulders. "I just want to know why."

"Didn't I tell you before?"

"Felix, come on. You just have to answer my question. Why is it going around like this?" annoyed Roxanne. Felix laughed with amusement. However, soon he fell silent and looked back at Roxanne.

"I'll answer. Later. It's already late, we better go to sleep." Said Felix as he pulled the blanket over their bodies.

At first, Roxanne was about to protest. However, Felix had shut Roxanne's lips with his good night kiss and forced Roxanne to close her eyes.
