Chapter 1481 – What am I afraid of?
“Bah!” Samantha immediately dismissed him, “Who needs your money, I myself am very capable of earning money, okay?
Well, since you are so generous, I will put more dowry then, I won’t take it away from you at all!”
Even if it was a marriage, there was no reason for one party to pay all the money, and Samantha was very clear on this point.
Luke, on the other hand, frowned slightly when he heard this, but unfortunately Samantha did not care anymore and simply pulled him into the store, “Let’s talk about our ideas first and then put them together, how about that?”
“Good.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
It took the two of them about two or three hours to finish, and only when they left did Samantha realize that the store was closing and that they had delayed closing time by more than half an hour.
But big brands are important, and even though they were late in their hours, their service attitude was still excellent.
It was Samantha who was so hungry that she threw her arms around Luca and said, “It’s cold, let’s go eat something hot.”
“Okay.” Even Luca did not expect it to take that long; for boys, shopping was the quickest and most appealing.
But girls were another story, and following Samantha, Luca realized there was a lot to learn.
Although it was late in the evening, there were quite a few people eating stew, and luckily Luca and Samantha were early enough to take the last seat.
When they were seated, the next people were all in line.
As they waited for the food to be served, Samantha suddenly saw the ring on her hand, shining in the light, and waved her finger at Luca, “How much did you pay for this ring, why don’t we go and return it?”
Luca froze for a moment, as if he did not think it was possible, and said, “How can you return something that was given to you? Unless you don’t want me anymore, that is.”
You don’t want it anymore?
Such words could lead to bad luck.
Okay, so Samantha quickly covered the ring and said with a precious look, “Then forget it, I will put it away if I cannot wear it and I will never return it to you.”
After saying this, Samantha even walked over and pricked Luca’s finger.
“Hey, I tell you once you make a decision, there is no turning back, oh, when the marriage is final, you can’t get rid of me even if you don’t want me anymore.”
She said this to provoke him, to show Luca that marriage was not child’s play, it was a lifelong affair.
Luca was silent at first and after about a few seconds he took hold of Samantha’s finger that was poking him, “As long as you want me, then I will never cheat on you in this life.”
He rarely made promises, but if he did, he kept them in this life.
The atmosphere would have been so good that Samantha would have jumped on him and kissed him if he had not been in a hotpot restaurant.
However, by this time, the waiter had already started serving food, interrupting the atmosphere between Samantha and Luke.
Samantha withdrew her hand and waited for the hotpot to open, and the two ate their dinner in earnest.
As they ate, Samantha found that the stew was quite good and the soup base was not much different from what she had mixed.
Luke took care of the hot dishes and gave Samantha food to eat, paying special attention to her whole body.
Samantha had nothing better to do than to ask him.
“We have decided everything, when are we going to tell our parents?”
“Anytime, you decide.”
Probably because the two were already talking about marriage, Samantha thought differently, and without asking him, she simply decided for herself.
“Then we’ll talk tomorrow after we wake up?”
“Good.”
Samantha was in a good mood and thought n mind what the wedding ring would look like once it was made.
Only that night, Samantha lost sleep and spent the first half of the night tossing and turning, beside her, even Luke could not fall asleep. But compared to her, he was calmer, and Samantha tossed and turned every which way.
Until later, when Luca clutched her arms and shaken legs.
“What’s wrong?”
Samantha shook her head, “Nothing, I’m just excited and my tummy doesn’t feel too good.”
“Tummy ache?” Luke half-closed his thin lips and his hand came down to cover her belly, “Did the critical days come?”
Samantha’s face turned a little red in the darkness as he asked this, even though the two were already close, some things were still private after all.
Samantha thought for a moment that her critical day was indeed approaching.
But she had never been so sore before.
“Can I have a cup of hot water?”
“Okay.”
Samantha drank some hot water and went to sleep, but in the middle of the night, her stomach suddenly began to hurt so much that Samantha woke up in a cold sweat.
Luca, who was holding her, could even feel her cold sweat.
Eventually Samantha was so sick she lost her strength, so much so that her legs were weak.
Luca brought her coat directly to her and put it on, then took her in his arms, “Let’s go to the hospital.”
Samantha didn’t have the strength to speak or resist, she was so weak that she couldn’t even open her eyes, so she just squinted her eyes and leaned on Luca’s arms.
When we arrived at the hospital, the doctor examined Samantha and found that she had eaten something dirty and had food poisoning, so she was put on fluids.
While the IV was flowing, Samantha was lying in a hospital bed covered by a hospital blanket.
It was only after the IV bottle went down that Samantha regained some strength and opened her eyes to look at Luca standing guard beside her, her lips still pale she asked, “Am I ugly like this now?”
Luca paused and reached out to stroke Samantha’s bare forehead, “What are you thinking about? Close your eyes and sleep tight, I’m here to keep watch.”
Samantha obediently did not close her eyes, but stared at Luke.
“Why was I poisoned by something we ate together and you weren’t?”
Luca thought for a moment and replied, “Maybe I am invulnerable to all poisons?”
Hearing this, Samantha raged, “I’m so tired, I just proposed in the evening and this happened, do you think God is punishing me? Did the soothsayer make him calculate correctly that we are actually not suitable?”
He leaned forward and approached her and warned her in a low voice, “If you don’t want people to see me kissing you in public, then stop talking nonsense.”
He came so close that Samantha could see the tiny pores and hairs on his face, and she could not help but smile and whisper, “Do you think I am afraid? I have nothing to fear , except that I am so ugly now, so if you feel like it, then go ahead.”
Luke said nothing, just stared at her, then slowly lowered his head and gently pressed his thin lips against her pale ones.
