Chapter 351: We Belong

Chapter 351: We Belong

Noah brought Luo to a restaurant in a park. This was his first time coming to eat in that kind of restaurant which did not have a five star ranking and catered to all kinds of common people.

Craig suggested him to do so saying Luo, who used to live as a common person, would appreciate it if he would try different things that were normal to her lifestyle be it, unlike his usual style for her sake.

"Are you sure it's okay for you to eat here?" Luo hesitatingly asked because she was aware Noah always ate at fine dine restaurants and not in crowded places like that.

"Yeah… I heard they have some real nice dishes here…" Noah responded. Luo's smile brightened as she excitedly nodded.

"Yes, they have, Oh, how I miss going to crowded places like this. Let me order food for us. You should try them all out and I bet you will love it." Luo enthusiastically beamed and called out for the server, yelling.

Noah smiled, seeing her enjoying while she gave the order to the server.

Noah creased his forehead, seeing the server serve chicken feet. Luo picked one in her hand and handed it to him.

"Here, try this. That's why I asked you to wash your hands. It's much better eating it while you're holding it… Like this… See me…" Luo instructed as she began to eat the marinated chicken feet because she missed eating those ever since she started living with Noah. It had been a while since she last ate them.

"Whenever I used to be at the field, I often ate this and quail eggs… You know street foods…" She commented.

She laughed, seeing the look of hesitation on Noah's face as he looked at the chicken feet in his hand.

"It's not gross. That's clean. Go on, try eating one, and I'm sure you will like it." Luo encouraged with a grin.

"How about we just order chicken drumsticks and I'll eat it like this with my hand," Noah whispered, still not convinced. He had never had chicken feet his entire life.

Luo pouted her lips and mumbled, "Okay, don't eat if you don't want to. Give me that."

Seeing her sad expression, Noah did not give it back to her and quickly bit it. Luo smiled, watching him eat reluctantly.

"How is it?" she asked.

"It's good," Noah answered and then even picked more to eat. Luo ordered more food that she thought was really tasty and good and was not eaten by Noah before.

"Let's have some beer now," she said next and called the server to give them a pitcher of beer.

She poured a glass for Noah and babbled, "Cheers, for your new experience in food."

Noah chuckled and raised his glass.

"Bottoms up!" Luo wailed and drank all the beer straight down her throat. Noah gulped, watching her because he couldn't drink like that.

"What? I usually drink like this. Are you turned off?" Luo mumbled with pouty lips. Noah winked at her and said, "Nah, you look adorable. I like it that you're just yourself with me. Stay like that…"

After some more drinks, Luo pulled him out so they could stroll and walk to the park.

"Ahh… I feel so full. We need to walk a little to burn what we ate easily…" she murmured as she hugged Noah's arm and leaned her head on it. She felt so blissful with just a simple walk with him like this.

She wanted to confess to him how she felt already, but somehow she was scared. She could feel Noah cared about her, but she was not sure if she had already penetrated her way into his heart.

She snapped out when Noah grabbed her hand and clasped it firmly with his fingers.

"Thank you." she heard him whisper.

Luo halted from walking and looked at him, confused. Why was he tanking her? For what?

Noah smiled as he read her questioning eyes. He flicked her nose and murmured, "Thank you for barging into my life like an uncontrollable typhoon. Before you, everything was just a routine for me. I mean, I used to wake up with the same things to do all over again, every day, just work and expand my empire. Except for taking care of Brione, of course… Everything actually felt so empty that I used to feel like there's something that I am missing out… Until you came…"

"I know I'm not the perfect husband for you Luo because there are things that I'm not sure how to deal with while we are having this relationship. But I'm trying my best to fix everything. I'm trying to fix myself and be a better man for you, Luo. But I want you to know that I wish to keep you by my side forever… I can never picture myself with any other woman except you. It's only you who is fated for me… We belong to each other." Noah sincerely added.

For some reason, he could not utter the words that he knew he should be saying. But he wanted Luo to understand how he felt at that moment and how important she was to his life.

Luo's face blushed so hard… She suddenly became speechless hearing those touchy words from Noah. Though all his speech lacked those three magical words, she was longing to hear, for her what he said was more than enough to feel the security in their relationship.

Her eyes started to get wet, and she leaned herself on him and hugged Noah as tears began to fall from her eyes.

Noah gently pushed her to look at her, but Luo hugged him more tightly and didn't allow him to see her face.

"Let's just stay like this for a while, hugging each other for a while. I will feel embarrassed if you will see me crying. I'm just so happy that you came to appreciate my presence in your life." Luo mumbled, stuttering.

For her, it was a big thing to have such a tremendous impact on Noah's life. She would wait until he finally said the words she wanted to hear. She could understand his feelings… Noah could not trust his emotions, not until now, because he was still scared. Especially now that he still could not forget how his mother died. Noah was scared to fall in love… And Luo could read it all.

She was willing to wait how much ever long it would take him to understand all this, she would patiently stay with Noah and give him as much time as he needed to let him understand how it felt to be loved, so all his doubts and fears regarding love would soon disappear until he learned to trust his own feelings...
