The following day, Beatrice woke up without Nate in their room. She walked down to the kitchen and saw that the maids were standing outside, and their expressions were unreadable.
“Good morning. What’s with those faces?” Beatrice asked and was about to enter the kitchen when the head maid stopped her, so she suddenly frowned.
“Ma’am Margarett, Sir Nate was inside, and he informed us not to let you in the kitchen.” The maid said, which made her forehead frown.
“Why?” She asked. She was so clueless and, at the same time, curious about what Nate’s doing in the kitchen. “I’m thirsty, I need to get water,” Beatrice said. The head maid shook her head.
“I will get your water, Ma’am.” The head maid said and signaled one of the maids to go inside. Beatrice rolled her eyes and walked back to the table and waited for her water, she also noticed that there was no prepared food on the table, so she turned her head again to the head maid.
“Clavis, did you cook breakfast already?” Beatrice asked, Clavis, the head maid shook her head in answer.
“Why? Nate will get mad if he sees that-” Beatrice didn’t continue what she was about to say when she saw Nate walk out from the kitchen and noticed that his forehead was frowning and his clothes had been stained, and she also suddenly smelled a burning food from the kitchen.
“Ms. Clavis, the stove!” One of the maids yelled, so Beatrice suddenly stood up and walked closer to the kitchen, when she finally entered the kitchen, she saw the mess the kitchen was and some burned eggs from the side of the trash.
“What happened here?” Beatrice asked if she was about to help Clavis when she stopped Beatrice.
“Don’t help us, Ms. Margarett, Sir Nate will surely get mad at us if he sees you helping us,” Clavis said, so Beatrice’s brows raised.
“Sir Nate volunteered to cook the breakfast today because he wanted to make you impress with his cooking skills, we also volunteered to help him, but he insisted that he could do it alone and instead, we should just stand outside of the kitchen and guard you from the outside,” Clavis said and started to get the cleaning material. “But we don’t know that Sir Nate didn’t know how to cook, and I think he’s mad now,” Clavis added, which made Beatrice stop and laugh.
“Shh, Ma’am Margarett, If Sir Nate hears you laughing, I’m sure he will be mad at you,” Clavis warned Beatrice, but she didn’t listen. Instead, she walked to the exit of the kitchen and went to their room, and as she expected, Nate was sitting on the bed with his brows frowning.
“So, how’s the burning food practices you did earlier?” Beatrice asked, which made looking at her bad. She laughed in front of Nate, which made Nate annoyed.
“Can you stop laughing and leave me alone,” Nate said to her and rolled his eyes.
“You volunteered to make the breakfast, but what you did is just a disaster in the kitchen.” Beatrice annoyed him even more, which made Nate feel shy because he suddenly remembered how confident he was earlier that he could make breakfast for the both of them.
“Stop laughing. You’re so annoying.” Nate said, which made Beatrice laugh even more, Nate watched how she laughed because of his actions until Nate suddenly smiled as he saw how happy Beatrice was. This was the first time he saw her laughing hard because of his dumb actions.
Beatrice realized that Nate was smiling at her, so she stopped laughing.
“What are you smiling for?” Beatrice asked, so Nate smiled at her even more.
“I just realized how beautiful you’re when you’re smiling,” Nate said, which made Beatrice stop and blush, Nate smiled even more when he saw how Beatrice blushed because of what he said.
“I-I know that already, Dumb ass,” Beatrice said, keeping herself cool even though she was pleased to hear that from him.
This is the first time someone tells her she’s beautiful without trying it hard.
“Fix yourself. We’re going to eat breakfast outside.” Nate said, so Beatrice looked at him.
“Why?” Beatrice asked. Even though she knew the reason, she was just annoying him again, and Nate knew that.
After a few hours, Nate and Beatrice were headed to the most popular restaurant in town, Nate decided to eat there to give Beatrice the best view he witnessed every morning when he ate breakfast there.
As they arrived at the restaurant, Nate ordered the most popular food and looked at Beatrice again, who was looking at the view in front of them.
“This is amazing,” Beatrice said as she watched the bird flies from the sky.
“Beatrice,” Nate calls her, so Beatrice looks at him with a smile, she’s enjoying the place, and Nate is glad to know that she was amazed by the view.
“Can I ask a question?” Nate asked, so Beatrice nodded in answer. Nate took a deep breath before he spoke again.
“I am just curious about you and your sister.” Nate said, so Beatrice suddenly stopped as he mentioned the word ‘sister’ “How close are you to your sister?” Nate asked, Beatrice smiled at him and looked at the sky.
“Very close,” Beatrice answered. “She was my only best friend, the only person who believes in me, and the only person who is always at my back,” Beatrice added. Nate watched Beatrice’s expression. This time he knew that Beatrice was not that hard to deal with, he knew that there was a little girl inside of Beatrice seeking love and attention, and affection. And looking at her, he knew he was willing to give that love, attention, and admiration for that little girl inside of Beatrice.
“Would you like to meet her?” Beatrice asked Nate, so he was shocked when Beatrice suddenly asked him if he wanted to meet her sister.
“O-of course,” Nate said. Beatrice smiled at him, and at the same time, their food arrived, and the waiter served it to them, Nate saw how happy Beatrice was now, and he was also pleased to see her smiling.
“Beatrice, would you like to meet my parents?” Nate suddenly asked when the server walked away from them. Beatrice was stunned for a second as she heard Nate’s question.
“I just wanted to introduce you to them as my wife,” Nate added, which made Beatrice’s heart beat fast.
