Henry didn't stop smiling at all during his journey with Louisa to Lux's restaurant. Of course, Henry also couldn't even let go of the grip of his palm from Louisa's palm. For several times, Henry glanced at Louisa who was focused her gaze on the street. Those two sea foam green eyes really seemed to sparkle with a happiness that he couldn't even say out loud about in there. He felt very happy. It didn't even matter if the smile on his face started to look like a silly smile. Isn't that one of Henry's characteristics all along? Silly and cheerful, but great and amazing love. Louisa, who caught Henry's glance at her for several times, was made even more confused. Even though she herself couldn't stop herself from smiling at all, every time she saw the smile that was plastered on Henry's face there. Louisa looked ridiculously at Henry. "What's wrong Henry? Why are you staring at me secretly like that?" Louisa couldn't stop herself from asking Henry right now and then. Henry widened his smile. "There is nothing. I really just want to look at you. Like a beautiful painting, although there are wounds that are not clearly visible. But when you look at it more, there is only happiness that appears in the heart. That's how I feel now, before, and forever, when I see you, Louisa." Henry answered at length. He managed to say the words and things he should have said a long time ago. It's just that his nervousness really messed up Henry's focus right now. Louisa suddenly chuckled a little when she heard Henry's answer. "You silly bastard..." She mumbled. But in her heart, Louisa secretly confirmed what Henry said about her. Louisa turned her gaze to look out the car window. Of course, in everyone there is a wound that can never really be seen directly. What's more, if the wound has been hidden for years to still be able to fight and also be strong in the face of all the things that happen in that life. Louisa took a deep breath and turned back to look at Henry, who was still holding on with a smile on his face. Louisa was sure that now everything would be fine. *** "Okay, you have to just wait in the car, okay?" Louisa asked while tidying her appearance there, just as she and Henry arrived at the car park section of Lux's restaurant. Henry, who was still sitting in his driver's seat, suddenly frowned slightly there. "Are you sure? I could have waited for you in the restaurant too right now. Of course if you want too." Henry answered offering himself there. Louisa looked at Henry with a gentle smile on her face. "No need, Henry. I can do it by myself. After all, this was a work-related meeting. Then there will be nothing for you to worry about. Also, I'm in a public place, if something happened to me, everyone would know about it. Okay? Don't worry too much about me, Henry." Louisa tried to explain to Henry. Henry was silent for a moment before finally nodding his head there slowly. "In that case, okay. Anyway, if anything happens, just call me, okay? I'll come to you right away..." Henry promised that. 'Yeah… er, well, I have to get into Lux's restaurant right away. Otherwise, I might be late." Louisa slightly bent her body there, and came closer to Henry's face. Louisa gave Henry a small peck on the lips, which instantly made Henry pensive. Too shocked by what Louisa had just done to him. Louisa immediately put a big smile on her face when she saw Henry who was pensive. And when Louisa started to turn and walk, that's where Henry's consciousness started to return again. 'Just a little peck, Louisa? No hot kisses for me???" Henry asked in a tone of voice that sounded a little screaming there. Of course, with his lips pursed. Louisa without turning her body there immediately raised her right arm and waved it. "You can get them later at home, Henry." Louisa answered loudly. Though in the end she could feel how embarrassed she was when she said all of that. And immediately accelerated her footsteps to enter Lux's restaurant. Leaving Henry grinning widely. Kring The restaurant door rang as Louisa stepped inside. In both hands, Louisa carried a bag and documents containing important documents regarding the novel that would be published by Mr. That Cole. Louisa walked closer to the cashier. "Excuse me, I've made a table reservation on behalf of Tomkins House." Louisa said with a faint smile on her face. The waitress who was guarding the cashier also returned a faint smile towards Louisa. "Wait a minute, I'll check it first." Answered the cashier's waitress, starting to type things on her computer. It didn't take long, the cashier immediately looked at Louisa again. "Table in the name of Tomkins House, at number twelve. Come on, I'll take it." She said it once again and started to lead Louisa to the table that had been ordered in advance. After they arrived at the table, Louisa immediately sat down there, and put the things she was carrying, right on the other side of the chair. Then the waiter immediately gave Louisa a piece of paper that listed what the restaurant had on the menu for food and drink. Immediately, Louisa ordered a drink in the form of a cup of cappuccino coffee with ice cubes, and whipped cream. Then the waiter immediately went and prepared Louisa's order. Louisa took out her cellphone which was in her bag. Wondering why there hasn't been any information regarding Mr. Cole in that restaurant over there. Louise sighed. 'Should I call him? I thought, it would show if I was too hasty. No, I won't. After all, at Tomkins House, all the work was done well. So, I don't have to worry about anything…" Louisa muttered to herself. Then decided to put his cell phone right on the table. Not long after that, Louisa's drink order was ready and the waitress brought it to her table. "Thank you." Louisa muttered with a faint smile on her face, having received her drink order on the table. As soon as the waitress left, Louisa slowly started drinking the cappuccino iced coffee with the whipped cream she ordered. Louisa didn't even notice that she was now starting to close her eyelids to enjoy the taste of the drink in her throat. Louisa smiled widely, and several times drank it through the existing straw. "Sorry I'm late. Busy streets are really bad luck." Louisa fell silent and straightened her body there. The expression on his face began to harden, but with a feeling in her heart that felt doubt. But Louisa remained silent and waited. The voice came from behind her right now. Louisa was unable to turn her body or turn her head there. The sound of the footsteps of someone behind him seemed to indicate how many beats were happening in his heart right now. "Well, I see you still love cappuccino iced coffee with whipped cream, LoLo." The voice continued. Louisa began to dare herself to lift her head and look at the person who was now standing right in front of her. Louisa's eyes widened, her body seemed to tremble faintly. 'Julian…" Louisa mumbled. The man who was now in front of Louisa immediately began to show a smile on his lips. Not just a smile, but a grin. His two eyes stared intently at Louisa who was still sitting in front of him there. "Well, finally we can meet again after so many years, LoLo." Louisa stood up from her seat, staggering slightly when she realized how trembling her legs were at this very moment. Her eyes widened, she couldn't believe that he was there. Right in front of her right now. 'This can't be happening…" Louisa muttered in disbelief. Julian who heard that immediately frowned faintly. "And why not??" He challenged Louisa. "Because you should still be in jail for many years later, Julian."
