This girl was really too cute.
Finally, without holding back any longer, Yael raised his hand and rubbed Beata’s head, saying, “Let’s go help it digest first and come back for the cake later.”
“Okay.” Beata obediently nodded, but her gaze remained fixed on Yael without blinking.
This was not the first time she looked at Yael like this, but at this moment, Yael’s hand was still on top of Beata’s head, stroking the top of her head.
Beata felt her whole body go numb, a numbing electric current came from her scalp and spread to her limbs and bones, making her feel as if she had been electrified, and she only wanted Yael to touch her more intimately.
Yael’s gaze intertwined with Beata’s, and he actually wanted to do more than just act. In fact, what he really wanted was not to be human at all.
However, at this moment, he can’t do anything yet.
Yael said, “Let’s go out and play for a while.”
Beata obediently nodded and followed Yael out of the house.
They came with four dogs which were led by Yael, while Number Four was carried by Beata.
As soon as they came out of the building, they attracted the attention of many people who were taking a walk.
Apart from these four dogs, the most important thing was that both of them were dressed very formally.
Walking the dog dressed like this may cause a lot of controversy if it were an ordinary person.
However, because Beata and Yael were so strikingly beautiful, this directly led to people thinking that they should have dressed like this all along when they saw them in such attire.
After Beata walked a distance with Number Four in her arms, Yael asked, “Do you want to put Number
Four down?”
Beata nodded and said, “If she walks too slowly, will the other three brothers be annoyed with her?”
“No,” Yael replied.
Beata felt relieved and put Number Four down.
The four dogs walked together. Beata looked at Number Four she was holding and then at the three dogs that Yael was holding. Suddenly she felt like it wasn’t fair.
Yael’s dogs were so cool while hers seemed fake in comparison.
Beata pouted and said, “I want to hold onto those three.”
Yael didn’t have any objections. The three dogs had all been trained by him to be very obedient so there was no need to worry about them misbehaving if Beata held onto them instead.
They switched leashes with each other. Yael said, “Let me know if you get tired.”
Beata nodded and told Yael, “Yael, don’t underestimate me. I’m pretty strong.”
Of course this was just talk as her strength would not be enough against an excited dog but Beata wasn’t worried because she had Yael by her side, which made her feel completely safe.
As they continued walking forward through the quiet neighborhood, they noticed quite a few people out for a walk. That surprised Beata since there weren’t usually that many people around when they went for their walks together. But then again they usually went out much later than this time of day so encountering more people now made sense.
Livingwards Mansion was built along the river, and Beata and Yael were walking along the riverbank.
The night had fallen, making the scenery along the river particularly beautiful. In this atmosphere, it seemed like confessing one’s feelings was the perfect arrangement. However, Beata stared for a long time but didn’t see any movement from Yael.
She secretly glanced at him again and again but he remained motionless. This made Beata feel uncomfortable because she didn’t necessarily think that Yael should be the one to confess first. To her, it didn’t matter who confessed first as long as there was some kind of signal from him.
Now in this situation, even if she wanted to confess her feelings to Yael herself, she had to consider whether or not she might misunderstand something.
However, Beata wasn’t someone who would give up easily like that. Since she had made up her mind that today was going to be a day where they took their relationship further than before with each other;
if Yael wasn’t going to take action, then it would have to be her who did so instead.
When they arrived at an empty place on their walk together, Beata stopped walking and stood still on her feet while Yael followed suit by stopping beside her with his gaze softening as he looked at her face.
Beata had done a lot of mental preparation beforehand, but at this moment she couldn’t help feeling nervous about what was about to happen next.
After taking a deep breath in order calm herself down somewhat, Beata said, “Yael… I turned 18 today.”
“Hmm.” The look in Yael’s eyes softened even more as he lowered his gaze towards hers; full of indulgence.
Beata licked her lips lightly before continuing, “What I mean by turning 18 is… I can do whatever I want now… like liking whoever I want…”
As soon as those words left her mouth though, she was feeling bolder like how she thought it would make herself appear.
Yael nodded slightly before saying, “So you’ve found someone you like and want to date?”
Beata hadn’t expected such directness from Yael’s question which caught off guard completely, leaving no room for any prepared response whatsoever!
Blinking rapidly several times over while staring intently into Yael’s eyes, a sense of injustice welled up inside Beata.
Beata said, “I have consulted with my brother and he agreed.”
It was not exactly lying to say that River didn’t have much of a reaction when it came to dating.
Yael said, “I know.”
Beata choked again, and instantly felt some heart attack.
She wanted to wave her little fists at Yael. What did it mean? Did he still want her to confess her feelings or not?
Yael saw that Beata was getting upset, so he quickly said, “Beata, how about dating me?”
Beata’s surging temper instantly fizzled out.
She stared at Yael for a long time and finally confirmed that Yael was not joking with her.
Beata grunted, and finally said, “I was cut off by you like this. This is what I wanted to say.”
Yael said, “You might not be happy to hear this, but when it comes to confessing our feelings, I still hope that I can go first.”
Beata couldn’t help but burst out laughing at Yael’s words. She looked at him and said, “I didn’t know you were such a male chauvinist.”
Yael didn’t defend himself, as he knew that he was indeed one in this aspect. Or maybe it was just his dominance that made him think like this.
Beata wasn’t uncomfortable with it though, probably because she really liked Yael now. So anything he said automatically sounded sweet to her ears, as long as it didn’t hit any sensitive spots.
And this kind of dominant talk actually suited Beata quite well.
“I do like you,” Beata said with a smile.
Yael had to restrain himself from pulling the girl into his arms and hugging her tightly. Of course, what he wanted to do was much more than that. But Yael was afraid of scaring Beata away so he refrained from doing so.
Beata blushed and kept staring at Yael until something soft touched the back of her foot which drew her attention away from him. She lowered her gaze towards Number Four who had stopped walking and lay down on the ground instead.
“Yael, Number Four seems tired,” Beata said softly.
“Then let’s go back,” Yael replied calmly.
Beata nodded obediently while still holding onto the leash for their biggest dog while Yael held onto two other dogs along along with Number Four who refused to walk anymore and demanded someone carry her instead.
When they arrived home after their walk together, Beata felt thirsty so she went straight towards the fridge without hesitation, but before she could drink any water, Yael took away the bottle from her hand saying, “Drink something warm.”
Beata frowned at Yael, obviously unhappy about not being allowed to drink cold water but Yael explained, “It’s too hot outside. Drinking cold water will give you a headache.”
She stared silently at Yael, feeling like maybe they shouldn’t be dating each other if all he did was to treat her like a little sister rather than girlfriend. It wasn’t surprising then why River hadn’t objected when she told him about dating Yael.
River must have already known that being together meant being under constant supervision by Yael’s watchful eyes.
Drinking the warm water that Yael handed her, Beata said, “Did you and my brother conspire to have you take charge of me from now on?”
Yael looked at Beata in confusion, not knowing where she got this idea.
Beata continued, “Otherwise, why didn’t you give me ice water?”
Yael sighed and chuckled softly. “Before, you were the young lady and I had to obey your every command. There were many things I wanted to manage but couldn’t. Now that you’re my girlfriend, I need to take responsibility for your well-being.”
“Oh,” Beata said with a hint of disappointment in her voice. “So all this time you only saw me as a young lady? I thought we were good friends.” She deliberately made a sad face to show how hurt she was.
Yael knew she was acting but still felt tugged at by her words.
“Of course not,” Yael replied quickly. “I don’t really want to control you. You can do whatever you want and be free. But I’ll always be there for support.”
Beata was just teasing Yael and wasn’t really upset.
After hearing Yael say this, Beata didn’t really mind anymore.
She took another sip of water and said, “So what you just said was that I am your girlfriend now, right?”
“You haven’t answered me yet,” Yael said.
Not only Beata wanted a sense of ceremony, Yael also needed it.
The sense of ceremony for this promise cannot be omitted.
Beata put down the cup and took Yael’s hand, saying, “Let’s take a picture.”
As she spoke, Beata took out her phone and snapped a photo of herself and Yael.
When she was about to send it out, she suddenly thought of something and looked at Yael, asking,
“What about my cake? Aren’t you going to give me some?”
Yael took out the cake and asked, “Do you want to make a wish?”
“Not yet, let me take a photo first,” Beata said.
She took several photos of the cake and then picked it up, asking Yael to take a few more pictures.
Beata chose two that she thought looked the best and posted them on Twitter and Facebook social media feeds.
