Chapter 35 The happiness deserved
LUNA’S POV
I woke up , perceiving the sweet smell off something extraordinary delicious.
Gray wasn’t on the bed with me either . I smiled broadly recalling last night event. Then I raised up the duvet to check myself out knowing fully well I was still naked .
I grabbed my night wear close to me and wore just the robe , then I headed towards the bathroom to take a quick but proper shower .
I was certain Gray was still somewhere in this house , afterall he had promised me he wouldn’t be going anywhere today and would cancel every business he had today .
I couldn’t wait to go see father , and the more I thought about it , the more I had to stare at myself.
I wasn’t happy all that happy at the fact that I hadn’t grown that much , because I wanted to be a completely different lady to my father .
I was still young, and though I didn’t want the little girl , his little queen my father sees in me to just vanish . At least not untill I get to see him again .
He might have done so many bad things in the past , but still , I couldn’t help but love me all the way , because I was starting to understand him .
They were all the pains if loosing my mom early , and now that I have Gray, I think I finally get to understand how he felt .
Gray would completely go nuts if anything were to happen to me , and yes I would also the same way .
I couldn’t blame dad completely anymore , but I only hated the fact that he neglected his only daughter and left her in the care of that witch .
No matter how hurt he was , I was the last thing mom left for him on Earth , he should have cherished it better .
I was able to walk on my own , this time I didn’t need Gray’s assistance in helping me walk because I had gotten used to the pain . Though it wasn’t as bad as the first time , but it was quite bearable.
I came out of the bathroom , opened the wardrobe and make sure to take something simple to wear .
I took out my furry slipper and wore them , then walked out of the room heading downstairs where I was sure I would. see Gray and if I didn’t, I would go check the training room .
I badly wanted to first see where the aroma of something delicious was coming from , or maybe something special might be going on or something.
” Gray !! What the ….” I couldn’t complete the words because I didn’t know what to say at that moment.
I stood frozen at that spot , staring at the image right in front of me .
“What the … seriously?” Gray are you on an apron?” I questioned him with eyes widely opened and beyond shocked with what I was seeing.
” Good morning baby” Gray greeted but I didn’t even give him an answer . I just stood still frozen and short of words .
Did something that wonderful suddenly happen to Gray .
He came closer to me and pecked my lips , then used his hands on my shoulders holding them both .
” Why the look ?” He asked me properly freigning the ignorance that I wouldn’t be shocked . I blinked my eyebrows countless times and we both stared at each other .
I suddenly recalled the first day I had seen Gray, the first day he spoke. to me . That heartless and cold person is standing right in front of me , with an apron tied to his waist . I wanted to burst into great laughter .
” Do I look that bad in an apron”. He said using his hand to cover up my opened jaws .
” No , no Gray,. It looks super cool on you . Do these all the time okay ” I replied him
” But Gray, do you cook? I asked
Gray looked at me , and began taking off the apron, he handed it over to a maid standing close to usBelongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
” Only for my mom , but now , it’s you I’ve got ” He replied me
When I said this , I couldn’t fathom the joy that pass through my body that moment . It made me feel so special being loved again .
Gray slowly took out a seat and made me sit .
He took his and sat close to me .
” I really hope it tastes as good as it smells “. I said taking out a fork.
He fixed his gaze at me and smiled half way probably nervous.
” Wait !! I heard Gray’s voice before I could take a little portion into my mouth.”
” Incase you don’t like the food , don’t force it on yourself. I can always have the maids cook something nice ” He said with anxiety in his eyes .
” You aren’t even confident Gray, Alright if you say so ” I replied .
Even if it tastes bad , I wasn’t even planning on letting him know .
I would never let his efforts go to waste because of my preference.
Then , he closed his eyes not even willing to see the expression on my face .
I took a spoonful into my mouth and chewed on it properly.
” Gray , it’s really delicious ” I complemented giving him a thumbs up .
When he heard such words , he opened his eyes and smiled at me .
” Seriously? ” He asked and I nodded while he took a bite .
” Seriously Gray, this is great . You’re a great cook , maybe better than me . I’m truly impressed” . I said and continued munching on the food .
He leaned closer to me and held cheek.
” Glad you liked it ” .
Minutes later , we were done.
” Gray , you haven’t forgotten what today is right ?.” I asked him , hoping he would definitely recall it .
” Of course baby , why would I ” Gray replied me .
” We’ll be leaving soon , so let’s get ready ” Gray said
I was about standing up on my feet , when I suddenly felt the urge to puke again . I wanted to hold it in so badly but when I couldn’t, I rushed towards the kitchen as it was the easiest place I could get to and emptied the whole content in my mouth .
Gray had followed behind me , rushing as he kept calling my name .
I held my chest and began hitting it a little, trying to digest properly when Gray stretched a glass of water towards me .
I grabbed it and poured half of it’s content inside my mouth before spitting it out .
” What’s wrong ? ” Gray asked patting my back little by little.
“Nothing, I think it’s just a slight fever ” I replied him with my eyes closed ..
” I’ll get the car ready, first we’re going to an hospital” He said and turned to leave but I held him back .
” No Gray , it’s nothing serious that I can’t take care of , I’ll be fine once I get proper rest okay “. I said
I really felt weak and dizzy, but I didn’t want to admit it else Gray would forcefully take me to the hospital.
I hated such places so much , going wasn’t even an option for me .
” Come on , I’ll take you upstairs ….. we’ll go meet your dad some other time okay ” He said to me while I nodded.
” Thanks ” I replied and as he swooped me off my feet, in his arms I closed my eyes and rested my head on his chest .

Lisa spranged her eyes opened and gently sat on the bed .
When she could finally see properly, she checked beside her , but saw no figure of him close to her .
She scoffed as this made her a bit angry and disappointed.
When she had lifted herself up , she found a letter sitted close to her on the bed.
She grabbed it and opened it up reading what had been written on it.
••Sorry to leave this way , you would be disappointed but tonight was beautiful , and I hope to see you again some other time ••
••Johhny ••
His name was written at the bottom with a heart drawing beside him .
Lisa smiled when she was done reading and gently placed the paper close to her heart .
She couldn’t help but think , maybe this was the happiness she truly deserves.
