Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father

S3 127. As Sweet As Chocolate Ava’s eyebrows rose high. Her blinking implied embarrassment. “Why did you ask that? Isn't what's important now that we're together?” Jeremy shook his head slightly. “I already admitted when | started paying attention to you. Now it’s your turn. If you don’t want to, then obviously, you were the one who noticed me first.” Ava let out a small laugh. “Your confidence hasn't changed, hmm?” “It actually increased because you were willing to accept me. So, when? Was it the first time we passed each other in the hallway?" “The first time | saw you?” Ava took a quick breath. “Of course not.” “But you secretly glanced at me.” “That's because | thought you were their bodyguard. | had to be wary of you. At that time, we were enemies, remember?” Jeremy narrowed his eyes. “And then? Was it when | captured yo Ava shook her head. “At that time, | was annoyed to death with yo Even to the point where | had to stay at your house, | still thought yo were annoying.” “On New Year's?” Ava pursed her lips. “I'm still annoyed with you too.” “You glanced at me in the gazebo.” “That's because you were secretly looking at me cynically. | noticed it. Your eyes were hot.” “But that night, you held my hand.” Ava’s eyes widened. “I did?” 1/6 “When your mother just woke up, you told her the holding my hand. Did you forget?” good news while Ava grimaced. “It must be a reflex from being too happy. It doesn’t mean anything.” Jeremy's lips moved forward. “So when did you start paying attention to me?” His tone was heavy, as if weighed down by disappointment. Ava let out a laugh at that. “I think | started to be interested in you when we took your grandmother to the airport.” Jeremy's eyebrows pressed against his forehead, not expecting it. What happened at that time?” Ava shrugged. Her lips curved gracefully. “I feel like | found myself in you. And to be honest, I'm a little jealous and touched to see you reconcile with your grandmother.” Jeremy blinked stiffly. “Are you interested or feeling sorry?” “Maybe both?” Ava joked. Jeremy wore a disappointed look. Then, | have to thank Grand She made you feel sorry for me. Otherwise, | might have escaped yo notice.” “Yes, do it. Who knows, your relationship might get even closer.” After the waiter came with the dishes, Jeremy painstakingly took care of Ava. He spread a napkin across her lap, tell her which spoon to use, and make sure food stains didn’t stain her lips. Their laughter occasionally floated lightly. Jeremy and Ava kept their eyes wide, amazed by the information they were exchanging. “Are you serious?” Ava covered her mouth as she chewed the last bite of the main course. “No one would believe that your favorite food is chocolate.” “What's the harm? Chocolate is delicious.” Jeremy raised his hands with widened eyes. “And the ingredients in it make us relax.” “Yes, but it doesn’t suit your physical appearance and character. You're too fierce to carry chocolate candy everywhere.” Jeremy blinked stiffly. “I always have it ready in the car.” “Yes, | know. | saw it in the drawer. | thought it belonged to Louis or Emily.” Ava’s voice sounded lighter between laughs. She didn’t realize that Jeremy's expression was starting to become clouded with doubt. “So, you seriously don't like chocolate?” Ava calmed her amusement. “Yes, chocolate is too sweet for me. But if chocolate is bitter, maybe I like it.” Hearing that, Jeremy's shoulders regained strength. His eyes turned bright. “Actually, our dessert is chocolate. | was afraid that tonight would be ruined because of the wrong menu choice. But it was dark chocolate. You don’t mind, right?” Ava’s cheerfulness instantly disappeared. She just realized that Jeremy was worried because of her joke. “You don't need to worry, Jeremy. | eat everything. It's not that | hate chocolate. It's just that it's not at the top of my list of favorite foods.” Jeremy nodded lightly. “Yeah, | know. Apples are number one. But especially for tonight, | hope you can put chocolate on the top top.” Ava’s lips curved again. “Indeed, what chocolate did you order?” Jeremy raised his right hand. Two waiters rushed to take away the empty plates then another came with a large chocolate ball that almost filled the whole plate. The sprinkle of strawberry slices around it looks like rose petals at first glance. 3/6 “Wow, this is very beautiful! But why is there only one? Do we have to share?” Ava raised an eyebrow. Jeremy lifted the corner of his lips. “This is a special chocolate ball. There is only one in the world. Pour this hot chocolate on it. Later the ball will melt and show what's inside.” Ava watched the brown ball, nodding. “It must have been difficult to make. It's natural for you to call it special.” “Come on,” Jeremy handed Ava the cup, “pour it now. It's going to get cold.” Ava nodded casually. “What's in it? Is it ice cream?” “Just do it then you'll know. Pout it right at the top, slowly, but don't let it spill onto the inside. Just melt the dome.” Ava chuckled. “Okay. The twins should see this. I think they'll be happy. Or have they already try it themselves?” “The one they poured on is different from this one,” Jeremy whispered. Then, he carefully watched the chocolate start to melt.

Not only was the ice cream there, but also a sparkling diamond reflecting the light. “Jeremy?” She gripped his arm, but her eyes remained fixed on the transparent stone. “You prepared this for me?” Ava turned around with teary eyes. Witnessing her emotion, Jeremy's smile became perfect. “Yeah. Is it too cute?” Ava let out a sigh of disbelief. Her lips trembled out of the turmoil in her heart. “You've bought a lot of things for me today, but you still give me a ring.” Smiling faintly, Jeremy pulled the ring from the ice cream. He cleaned it with a special cloth then stood up. The waiter swiftly moved his chair away. Then, in front of Ava, he bent his knees. “Sorry that only now can | give you a real ring. With this, people won't think you're crazy anymore.” Ava sighed heavily. As best she could, she controlled herself not to cry. “Then how about this one?” She showed Jeremy her ring finger. “I don’t want to throw this away.” Jeremy snorted a laugh. “You can move it to another finger or stack it with this one.” Tilting her head to one side, Ava put her hand into Jeremy's begging palm. “Then just stack them. Let them blend together.” Sighing in amusement, Jeremy squeezed her fingers. His head hung low, thinking about how lucky he was to hold that hand. “When Kara said that a proposal was just a formality, it slapped me hard. | realized that every woman deserves an impressive proposal because they are very valuable, especially you.” Jeremy looked up, letting Ava soak in the sincerity in his eyes. “You've let me have you. Of course | have to give you the best. This ring is a witness to my promise to you, until | put another, stronger ring on you-our wedding ring.” 15/6 Jeremy took a deep breath and exhaled quickly. Ava’s shady gaze made his heart beat even wilder. “Ava Connor, finding you is the beginning of a new chapter in my life. Being with you is how | want to live the rest of my life. Therefore, would you be willing to be the main figure in my life?”
