Chapter 30—Breakfast with ex-hubby, Fiancé, and childhood sweetheart
Before she could enter the building, she turned to William for once. He was still staring at her and attractively leaning against his back to his car. His smile drew to his firm lips thru staring into her eyes which seemed suspicious.
She finally entered the building with the cat she found. She will bathe it and feed it later. It was obvious that the cat feel vulnerable due to hunger. As she walked down the hallway toward her unit she noticed a man squatting on tiles in front of the door.
She halted. It was Wyndell patiently waiting for her while holding a romantic bouquet.
It's him, again!
She sighed annoyed because of his persistent attitude.
When will he stop to come here?!
Wyndell noticed her immediately so he stood up for a moment while holding the flower.
" What are you doing here?" she idly asked.
" Lilian, I just want to let you know that I'm serious and I'm sorry for what I did against you. Hopefully, you'll accept me even if it's just your friend," he pleaded while handing her the bouquet. She stared at the expensive bouquet for a moment.
She decided to accept the flower.
" As a friend? I don't have a problem with that. But, I hope this is the last flower I will receive from you." Wyndell got nodded while smiling.
She finally entered the room and laid the flower on the center table. She gently brushed the bushy fur of the white feline. She will bathe it later after taking off her breakfast. When she entered the kitchen, she almost jumped in shock when she saw a man inside the kitchen.
" D-Demetri?" she asked, looking in shock. He was stripped off his top and only a white apron covered his masculine body.
She smiled as he faced her holding the ladle and the frying pan.
" Hey honey, good morning! I prepared our delicious breakfast for today," he greeted enthusiastically and served what he had cooked on a saucer.
Really?! What's going on with him? Why does the wind seem to have shifted this week?!
She soon realized everything. So, their action defining of asking consideration and forgiveness from what they've done. They're covering up their guilt and mistake.
" Do you think that when you feed me some delicious dishes, I will be forgiven for what you have done to me?" she asked Demetri seriously.
Never in her life has a man prepared food for her. She was happy with the part that what was Demetri performed but the fact that he made a romantic favor just to cover up his guilt and mistake was annoying.
Will they do nicely just because they hurt someone? That's ridiculous!
" I just want to cook. Today is my off day," he said as an alibi.
She unlooses her cute laugh.
" It's Wednesday, you're day off is on Friday, Demetri " she retorted.
She looked at the table with a lot of food preparation. They're only two and he cooked a lot.
" Why did you cook a lot of dishes?" she asked in wonder.
" I want to eat a ton of tasty food," he replied. She just nodded hesitantly.
She went to the sink, looking around the kitchen. It was messy like a storm siege her quiet and scented condo unit.
Gosh! He looks hot while cooking but he's chaotic in terms of how to cook in a neat method.
" We can't consume that all," she said and put down the cat on the floor.
She thought of a way for them to finish the food. Funny idea but she just wanted to try it. She has never been invited any other man to come in on her unit except for Demetri because he bought it for her.
She left Demetri in the kitchen first and she went outside the unit. She caught Wyndell walking away so she called her idea an even favor.
" Wyndell!" she named as he turned around. He immediately returned and approached where she was.
" As a friend, come get inside and join me to eat breakfast," she gladly invites him. He was startled by her sudden invitation.
She raised an eyebrow at him.
" Why? Don't you like to come in?" He shook his head and agreed to what she wished.
He voluntarily entered the unit when she was about to follow she saw William approaching.
This is crazy! But it seems she's excited to invite him in inside. She knows it was crazy to invite her ex-husband for having a late breakfast besides with those two guys that were involved on her side.
" William," she calmly uttered his name. His eyebrows furrowed.
" Maybe you want to have breakfast with me. My roommate has prepared a ton of food, you want to join in? If you like to... " she said with a bright smile. William didn't hesitate to concede.
At a glass table, the three men sit abreast while countered for her side sitting next to her big brown teddy bear. The teddy bear is her faithful companion when she's alone in her unit.
She smiled as she looked at the 3 gorgeous men in front of her. They behave and look like obedient kiddo because of the position and serious expression on their faces. She wanted to laugh because he was glad to see them that way.
They look cute and charming.
“ So, let’s start”, she mumbled. When Demetri was about to start eating, she immediately stopped him.
" Demetri, we haven't prayed yet. William, can you lead the prayer for thanking God for providing such abundant food," she requested. William looked at her unbelievably.
Why me, Lilian!?
" I-I'm the one to pray?" he asked incredulously.
" You heard her right," Demetri reacted in coldly stare.
" Go ahead, brother," Wyndell whispered. William seriously looked at her eyes.
" Let's close our eyes for the prayer," Lilian said and voluntarily closed her eyes. The three stared at her dumbfounded.
" William, hurry up. I'm hungry," she added while closing her eyes. The three of them imitated Lilian's posture and William began to pray for the foods served.
It's obviously defining that he doesn't know how to thank God in a simple prayer.
*Deep sighed.
Handsome man with no one knows but widely accept blessings from above without saying thank you back from heaven.
" Amen!" Lilian enthusiastically concluded after the prayer and cheerfully took a plate and cutlery.
She was about to take the food but suddenly all three of them reached for what she could possibly eat.
Awkward...
