Chapter 53: Chapter 53"So that’s why you looked so sad yesterday..." Henry muttered.
"Eh? Was it that obvious?" Kate asked, surprised that he had noticed so much. "I thought I hid it well."
Henry smiled apologetically, "You do. But I’ve come to know you quite well. So it’s obvious only to me."
"You’re so cheesy, God," Kate couldn’t help chuckling, "We’re not that close, Henry. You can just say that I looked like crap yesterday so you assumed I was depressed, no need to lie."
’But I’m not lying...’ Henry insisted in his heart, but he knew that she wouldn’t accept it. Kate was a tough lady who rarely showed her true feelings.
He doubted that anyone else could tell her true emotions. But Henry’s full attention had always been on Kate these days, and the more he watched over her, the more he learned to read her body language.
But he knew that Kate wouldn’t believe him, so all he could do was to assure her that everything would be alright.
Henry took a step forward and wrapped his arms around Kate’s waist. He pulled her closer to him until there was no space between them. They looked into each other’s eyes,
Yet, at the same time, both were scared that they might have crossed the line far too often, to the point that things might actually get too serious between them.
So Kate tried to shift the topic, "You know, with the long drive to San Francisco, golden sunset, the sea, and also the wind. It makes me feel like we’re on vacation right now."
Henry chuckled, "Your standard of vacation is a bit low, don’t you think?"
Kate giggled in response, "Well, I don’t really know what vacation feels like. Never had one before."
Henry’s eyes widened, "Wait, seriously?"
"Mhm, I’ve never been on a long and far vacation before. I came from a small town with little to no entertainment around. And after I got to California, the best I got was a trip to the nearest restaurant or spa," Kate replied. "Whenever I leave the country, it’s just a busy business trip that doesn’t give me much time to enjoy life."
Kate saw that Henry was actually astonished by her answer, which was quite understandable. After all, Henry was born with a diamond spoon. He could go on a long vacation without any repercussions.
"Well, Mr. Grant, if we have more free time later on, can you take me on a long vacation somewhere? It would be nice if it’s only you and I."
