Chapter 38

"You sure you want to eat here?"

"Yes," Scarlett answered.

Anastasia shrugged. "Okay then. You stay outside with Lumos and Nox, I'll buy it."

"You know my favorite, right?"

"Yes. A chocolate flaky pastry."

She waited in line for about fifteen minutes, which was quick. She ordered two pastries and a coffee for herself.

Since there was no place to sit inside, the cashier said she can sit at the outdoor tables. They also said her order would be at her table after five to ten minutes.

"So what book were you reading before?" Anastasia asked.

"Oh… the name I forgot it." Scarlett sheepishly smiled.

"Okay then, was it that emotional?"

"Yes, the leads were being separated for the world's sake. And I don't know why I kept crying for it." Scarlett's eyes got teary remembering the scene.

A portal had been created because of the FL's floor being reincarnated into the ML's world. The ML assaulted the FL (which was unacceptable) and because of that; she became his wife.

At first, he didn't want her to be his wife, but slowly he falls in love with her and gets overprotective of her. His family gets angry because in their eyes she was unworthy, but slowly they accept her.

Then they get married for sure and have kids, but the FL has to go away to her world because she caused great trouble to the world and Scarlett didn't read the next part. Hope it doesn't make her cry more.

(I'm describing this novel called the dragon prince's wife is a translator. It literally made me cry so much in the end. It's your wish if you wanna read it. Go get your heart broken bitch!)

Anastasia panicked and gave her a tissue. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm okay. It happens, I always cry for like a week after reading heartbreaking scenes." She blew her nose.

"Yeah, I used to hear you silently cry while I was pretending to be asleep. But I didn't know what to do."

"I know. Oh look, the food's here." A waiter placed their order on the table and Scarlett gasped. "Oh my god. It's so cute!"

"Enjoy your… What was the word again? Please enjoy your food! If you need anything else, I'll be around here."

"Thank you."

The waiter nodded and left. Anastasia looked at her pastry. It was bigger than a usual one and was shaped like a bunny, dipped in white chocolate.

It was decorated with chocolate cream as the eye, mouth, and outline and strawberry cream as the ears and nose.

It was so cute that she suddenly felt bad about eating it. It was just too adorable to eat!

She looked up and saw Scarlett taking a picture of her food. It was shaped like a hello kitty, dipped in white and dark chocolate. It was decorated with strawberry and chocolate cream.

Pink for the ears and nose, chocolate for the outline, eyes, and whiskers. Both of them kept staring at their food, feeling bad that they had to eat it.

"Oh well, here goes nothing." Anastasia took a piece of her food and Scarlett whined. "Why did you eat it!? It was so cute!"

"What? Do you want me to keep it for the flies so that they can spoil it? Or do you want me to give it to Lumos and Nox? I'm hungry."

Scarlett pressed her lips into a straight line and nodded. "Okay, I'll eat it. Even if I don't want to. Goodbye pastry, I'll miss you."

Anastasia rolled her eyes at Scarlett dramatically crying and eating her pastry. Once in a while, she took a sip of her coffee as a change of taste.

They left the cafe after Anastasia secretly tipped the waiter. They aimlessly roamed around the busy streets.

"I'm bored now."

"Me too."

"Should we go to a park or something? Maybe there is a carnival around here."

"Nah, let's just go to a public park. I know one around here."

"Okay then, m'lady, lead the way."

The park was near them, just two minutes away from them. By the time they reached the park, the lights were lit. Kids were playing and chasing each other. People walked around, some sat and quietly did something.

Anastasia and Scarlett sat on the nearby benches talking about nothing that made sense. After a few minutes, a few kids came up to them.

"Umm, can we play with your dogs?" One of them shyly asked.

Anastasia smiled. "Sure."

Lumos and Nox ran up to them and played with them. Anastasia watched the scene with a fond smile. Scarlett noticed it. "You really like kids don't you?"

"Yup. When my sisters were adopted, they'd cry very easily. My parents would get tired, so I used to calm them down. But they'd calm down very easily when I'm around them. If my siblings try to do so, they'd throw up on them or maybe even shit on them."

Scarlett laughed. "They hated them a lot."

"Yup. If I ever do get married, I do want kids like at least five." I hope I get married to you.

"What!? Your wife would die!"

"I can't impregnate her! I'm a girl!"

"But what about sperm donors?"

"Nah, we'd just adopt five or seven. Maybe even more. It would make me not feel that lonely."

"So you want kids to not feel lonely?"

"What?!"

"I'm just teasing. Whoever is going to be your wife, she's going to be very lucky." She patted her shoulder and gave a thumbs up to her.

Anastasia stared at her like bruh, I hope I get married to you. You'd be the luckiest girl on Earth, hmph! "Yeah, I know."

After a few minutes, Scarlett spoke. "I have a confession to make."

Anastasia panicked inside. A million questions ran through her mind.

Confession! To whom?! To me?! Okay, be cool, be cool. Don't pass out and then disappear like the last time when someone confessed to you, Anastasia. But what if she liked someone, and she's telling me about it? Noooooo! This can't be happening!

Anastasia had a mental breakdown inside but remained cool on the outside. "What is it?"

"In a few days I have this surgery to do."

Anastasia breathed out in relief inside. "Oh, that's great then. Where is it?"

"In another city. It takes at least two-three hours to reach there. I just wanted to let you know about it that I would be gone for a few days."

"Okay, if you need something, you just ask me. Okay?"

"Okay."

"Alright then. Do you want to go home?"

"Yes"

"Okay. Ayo kids give me back my doggos!"
