“It’s not the weekend, so there won’t be that many people in the first place. You’re wasting money.”
Mireya sighed. “Moreover, isn’t the atmosphere the main point of watching movies? If it’s just the both of us, we might as well just watch it in the theater room back at home.”
“Yes, yes. My wife is right. I won’t spend money rashly in the future. I’ll seek your approval every time I spend.” Rodney was smiling from ear to ear. The way she said “you’re wasting money” made her sound like a bossy wife, and he liked it a lot.
It turned out that having someone in charge of his money felt so good.
No wonder Shaun liked to be bossed around by his woman.
Mireya wanted to tell him that was not what she meant. However, seeing Rodney being so self- conscious made the corners of her lips curl upward.
Besides, it felt pretty good to have Rodney suddenly kissing up to her.
It was as if she finally tamed the disobedient husky.
Especially during the movies, she finally did not have to twist the bottle caps open herself.
She also did not have to use her own hands to eat popcorn or tear the opening of a packet of snacks.
That feeling was pretty satisfying.
No wonder so many people liked to be in a romantic relationship.
Since she had not dated in a long time, she almost forgot how awesome it was to be in a relationship.
However, Rodney was too fidgety. He would be squeezing her hands in one moment, then coming near to kiss her in another. It was never-ending.
“Stop it. Can you please? I want to pay attention to the movie?”
“Watch it, then. I’m not covering your eyes anyway.” Rodney pecked her cheek again. “Mireya, I used to find it boring when I watched movies with Shaun and the rest. But now, I realize that it’s quite fun. No wonder so many people like to watch movies.”
“Haven’t you watched movies with Sarah before?” Mireya asked.
” I have never. Why do you keep mentioning her?” Rodney blinked. “Whenever you bring her up, I feel like I’ve had a fake relationship with her. I’ve never interacted with her the way I do with you.”
“What way?” Mireya raised her eyebrows.
In the dark cinema, Rodney began to blush. “I can’t put it in exact words. I only dated her for a short time, and I was quite cautious when I was around her. However, I feel very relaxed when I’m with you. I can do whatever I want.”
Mireya understood him.
It was the same when she was dating Patrick back then. Whenever they went to a movie, they always had to bring Linda along.
She often saw other couples making out in the cinema at that time, but she and Patrick had never done that before. Sometimes, when she wanted to kiss Patrick, Cindy would be at the side saying that she could not open a bottle cap or that she wanted to eat popcorn.
Mireya felt like she was an extra back then.
However, her situation might have been better than Rodney’s. Rodney must have treated and respected Sarah as a goddess, but maybe that was precisely why he had never experienced the passionate relationship that many young men and women had. It was quite a pity.
Anyway, Mireya and Rodney did have some similarities in some aspects.
Moreover, they were now in the phase of falling head over heels for each other.
Mireya could finally experience it herself. Otherwise, she would always be envious of others.
When the movie ended, it was already 9:30 p.m.
Mireya was in a hurry to go back home, but Rodney was not. “Don’ t worry. My mom is there tonight. She said Dani is behaving well, and she doesn’t miss us at all.”
“But I miss her.” Mireya glared at the man beside her who was driving. “Dani is your daughter, but why do I feel like you don’t care about her anymore?”
Rodney widened his eyes from being wronged. ” Mireya, although I know that you’re quite unreasonable, you can’t be too unreasonable, right?
If I care about Dani, you’ll say that I’m only pretending to say I love you because of Dani. If I want to spend more time with you, you’ll say that I don’t care about Dani.”
Mireya harrumphed. “Women are just that unreasonable. Do you have a problem with it?”
“I don’t dare to, ” Rodney muttered. “I just want the both of us to have more alone time together. This means that I love you as much as I love Dani.”
A hint of a smile flashed in Mireya’s eyes. Then, she glanced at the “paw” on her leg. “I think you’re just trying to take advantage of me.”
“I’ve never taken advantage of other women. My personal life is clean, ” Rodney said faintly.
Mireya had nothing to say in regards to that point.
During her pregnancy and after she gave birth, she knew that other than going to the company, Rodney would be at home by her side.
Once they arrived at the villa and parked the car, Rodney held Mireya’s hand.
However, Mireya felt so embarrassed that she avoided him. “We’re already home. Let’s not hold hands.”
“Why not? What’s wrong with holding hands?”
Rodney was like glue. He always had to be in contact with her.
“Your mom is here…”
“So what if she is? We’re a married couple. What’s there to be afraid of?” Both of them kept pushing and pulling until they reached the living room. Only then did they realize that Wendy was carrying Dani and looking at them with a smile. “You guys are back from your date?”
Mireya’s face flushed red in an instant. After all, she recently had a huge fight with Rodney at the Snow family’s and wanted a divorce. Not much time had passed since then, and they were already holding hands again. It looked as if she was spineless.
However, she could not shake off Rodney’s hand at all.
“There’s no need to be shy. You even have a child together. ” Wendy was delighted. “I’ve been waiting for this day for so long that I almost lost hope.
Luckily… You, Rodney, aren’t too stupid.”
“Mom, I’ve always been smart, okay?” Rodney snorted.
“Ha! If you were smart, you wouldn’t have passed off a bad person as good back then. I’ve said long ago that Mireya is a good girl. This is good. Your dad and I can be rest assured now.”
Wendy said earnestly to Mireya, “If Rodney bullies you in any way, just tell us. I’ll help you to teach him a lesson. If he dares to flirt and fool around outside, I’ll make him leave this marriage without any assets.”
“Mom, am I even your son? I will never flirt and fool around outside.” Rodney pouted.
Wendy rolled her eyes at him. “Well, that’s true. I believe you’re a person who knows your boundaries. Take a look at those wealthy families in Canberra. How many men are there who didn’t have an affair and an illegitimate child after their marriage? However, that has never happened in the Snow family. Your uncle, dad, and grandfather are all loyal to their wives.”
“I will be too.” Rodney looked at Mireya and said with a serious face.
Mireya’s long eyelashes trembled slightly.
This time, she did not push Rodney’s hand away.
Wendy smiled in satisfaction and said, “You two should go on more dates if you can. I’ll take care of Dani for you. It just so happens that retiring has given me more time on my hands. Also, Rodney, you shouldn’t stay at home to accompany the child during the day all the time. Snow Corporation is planning to spend a fortune on entering the electric power system industry. However, your sister has too many things to take care of at the company, so she can’t manage it. Your dad intends to leave the development of this plan to you and Carson. Do it well.”
Astonishment washed over Rodney’s face. The field of the electric power system was the world’s most competitive industry.
Of course, its potential for development was infinite too. However, the former prime minister’s people kept oppressing Snow Corporation, hence they could not expand into that industry. Now, the whole world had its eyes on it.
As long as he did well, it would be a chance to achieve greater heights in the future.
Wendy had a serious look on her face. “Your uncle plans to research and develop a technology that belongs to us and can occupy a leading position in the world. Don’t let us down. The Snow family will give you our full support as well.”
Wendy’s bombshell of news made Rodney a little absent-minded as he carried the child to sleep that night.
When Mireya came out of the bath and saw that he was still in a daze, she teased him. “Why? Are you too excited?”
“A little. My sister and Carson have always handled Snow Corporation’s matters. I thought I would never have the chance to take part.” Rodney suddenly sat up straight. “I never thought my dad would hand over such a huge project to me. Do you think… he finds me as the most capable younger generation of the Snow family? As expected, the development of Snow Corporation can’t be without me.”
Mireya rolled her eyes at him speechlessly. “Oh, please. Your mom said you’ll be working with Carson, okay?”
“Ha, I’m Carson’s elder brother. Don’t I know how capable he is? In the end, he still has to count on me.” Rodney’s expression was smug.
