Bab 53: The day he matured
After the kissed they just stood and stare at each other's face. Jade could not help but be amazed by her husband's good looks. Up till now, she is never bored from staring at him. His square face, sharp jawline, cleft chin, beautifully curved eyebrows with a tiny sexy mole just above his left eyebrow, long, pointed high bridge nose, high cheek bones, sexy, seductive lips and a set of deep dimples will be displayed when he smiles. Her gaze on him made him burn with desire. My lovely wife. Everyone who was watching the whole drama unfold, breathe a sigh of relief but at the same time they are now wishing that they get a room but did not voice it out loud because they did not want a repeat of incident.
The BBQ party went on harmoniously. Sarah introduce her partner to everyone, making those who didn't know her sexual orientation surprised but not disgusted. In this century, many of them are no longer close minded even the strict Master Lee. Sarah's partner was a petite girl, short and red fiery hair, one look at her, definitely not plain but not extremely beautiful either but very pleasant to look at, and has a very dazzling smile. It was her bubbly personality that made her very attractive. She asked them to call her little Q. Her real name is Seah Kwi Shan, and she had known Sarah since they were abroad and had been together for nearly 6 years now.
The weeks also past well for April, she had been going on dates with Adam, she feels they are compatible but the only thing that is holding her back is his status. He didn't really talked much about his family except they are in the sales and she did not want to delve deeper. Plus she kept comparing his status and Derek. Adam did not know his status played a big role in this relationship plus he did not want to reveal that he is the heir of the most popular brand of perfume in the whole China. He is in actual fact comparable to Derek. He wanted her to fall for him not for what he is worth. Even though things were going great between them he kept feeling there is a wall between them.
"I like you very much April and I can sense you like me too but there is something holding you back, what is it, if I may ask?" "My heart still has him. I'm sorry." "Do you think you can find a space for me in there?" "I don't think so. I like you enough to at least tell you I don't think you will ever have a place in it. He must really have pampered you to a degree that even I have lost, I guessed." Adam said with a sad sigh and his words hit April hard. "I have thought that if I can have at least a chance. Let's stop this at this then, from today onwards, I won't disturb you any longer. We are free to date anyone we like. The past one month, surprisingly I survived just dating you exclusively. I can be considered a playboy in the past, maybe aged have catched up with me and I find dating the same person for the rest of my life doesn't seem to be a bad idea. I hope you get to move on or get together with him. I sincerely wished you happiness. Can I kiss you one last time?" Adam leaned in when he saw her dazed nod. He gave her last kiss, a gentle one at first then it became a bit more passionate on the lips. With self control, he pulled away and gave her a peck on her forehead. "Take care." Adam walked away leaving the daze April.
Adam decided to return home and start his training early, this experience had made him grown up with some maturity. He was surprised by his own attitude towards April, he didn't know he could be gentle, considerate, respectful to the opposite sex, previously he just saw women as sex buddies, no string attached, once only never to be on a repeat list. He sighed again. At least I have tried, I can't seem to force myself on her. His heart felt heavy to leave her and stop the pursuit, but maybe, by withdrawing she'd realised his real worth. People don't realised what they've lost only till when it's gone. Adam's thoughts wandered off to his his childhood friend, who clinged on to him like crazy but one day she just left without a word, and then reality sets in, he kind of missed her, the next thing he knew he was changing women like he was changing clothes. He tried investigating what happened to her but he last heard she married a Russian guy. This must be retribution, I have hurt one genuine heart in my lifetime, and now mine hurts. So this is how it feels.
Adam went home and his arrival caused shock to his parents. "My son, you are finally home." His mother started to check him out from top to bottom, "I am fine, Ma. I miss you." he gave her a hug. "Finally, my son still remember he has a mother and father." His father gave him a hug while receiving a glare from his wife. Adam was lucky to have been brought up in a loving home. Hence, his playboy ways was a disappointment to his father and his carefree way of life also caused his parents headache but they still doted and respected his decision. "You didn't bring back...." his mother's question was interrupted by his father warning cough. "Oh, I am already so old, yet I am still working so hard to provide for my family causing my health to be poor." his father lamented while giving his wife a signal. Adam rolled his eyes at their antics. "Things didn't work out. She had someone in her heart. Oh well, don't look shocked Pa, I know you send people to monitor my movements, your lungs should be better if you smoke less and worry Ma less." "You brat, you dare lecture me, your father, it seems someone missed my caning." "Ma.... save your son" The usually quiet house was filled laughter.
"I am back for good. I am willing to learn the ropes of the business, Pa." Master Ho's eyes became wet and teary, "Never thought this day will come that my son had grown up. Good. Good."
April on the other hand, was really depressed, she felt empty, suddenly there is nothing to look forward to, no more messages to wake up to or to read before sleep, no flowers deliveries, no one to pamper her endlessly, no Adam. He is the one guy, who didn't ask about her family background, did not compare her to Jade and treated her with genuine respect and not lust after her body. She could tell he. wanted her body but he had always respected their boundaries and he is such a gentleman to her that he asked for her permission before he does anything that could be seen as inappropriate. Why does my heart feels so empty? She could not help but wonder how is he doing. It seems he had disappeared and she was the reason.
