James's POV
"James, how about we have lunch? I'm really hungry, do you want to find food here? Or at a restaurant?" Thea asked, trying to change the subject.
"How about we go to the mall first, is there anything you want to buy? I'll pay, how about it?" Thea, who heard it, immediately nodded enthusiastically.
Currently, Thea and I are in a shopping center. Thea is, of course, very happy about this.
How come? Walking with a handsome and established man, isn't that a sign of good luck for her?
Thea certainly seems to have found a diamond when she is close to me. I am loyal to Thea.
Just like this, I have become a noble, what if Thea can become my wife? Isn't it certain that Thea's life will be happy for seven generations? How can that be?
Since I had offered Thea expensive goods, of course, Thea didn't want to waste the golden opportunity.
"It's not a loss for me to ask me out," the woman muttered happily.
In her hands were now several shopping bags; of course, Thea didn't spend a penny.
All the shopping was in Thea's hands, and I paid for it. What woman would be happy if it was like this?
"Is there anything else you want to buy?" I offered to Thea.
No matter what, Thea had to steal the man's attention, yes, Thea had to win my heart, no matter what!
"In the end, it's quite a lot," said Thea answering my question.
"It doesn't matter if I want something; just take it," I said with a thin smile.
Thea wanted to take all the things she wanted to have, but the woman held herself back.
No, because now was not the right time. Thea had to keep her name a secret so that I would not accuse her of doing something unreasonable.
"Nothing, I am very grateful to you because you are willing to pay for all my shopping; I am very grateful for this," said Thea while holding up her shopping to show me.
"I told you, it's okay," I said.
"I can even buy what is in this store," she continued arrogantly.
But Thea didn't mind it; moreover, what I said was true.
I could buy all the expensive things I wanted no matter how much it cost. This actually made Thea even more determined to find a way to get closer to me.
"Yes, that's for sure! Seeing you succeed like this," said Thea praisingly.
I chuckled hearing Thea's words. Meanwhile, Thea stared at me with a very unpredictable gaze. I didn't know what the girl was planning. I didn't know either.
"Can't we eat now? I'm so hungry," said Thea carefully.
Going around the mall did make her stomach feel hungry. How could that be? Thea had walked from end to end to find what she wanted. Of course, it drained her energy.
"Upstairs at the fast food restaurant, do you want to go there?" I offered Thea.
Thea was silent for a few minutes, the woman did not immediately answer my words but thought about it first.
The mall we visited was indeed complete; there was a cinema and also restaurants, but Thea thought first, ah, more precisely, thinking about what she wanted to eat right now.
"If you don't agree, you can choose your favorite restaurant, where do you want to go?" I asked again when I was interested in Thea's confused face.
It was no longer surprising to me, yes, women are always confused about thinking about small things, choosing food, for example.
"I suddenly want to eat seafood, do you want it?" she asked.
"What kind of seafood?" Thea immediately nodded firmly. While I immediately put my arm around Thea's shoulder to leave the mall.
Of course, she would find the food Thea wanted. Thea looked so happy when her request was immediately granted easily.
"Do you have a regular place? Or where do you want to eat?" I asked as I left the mall.
“Nothing. I don’t have a regular place, and I just suddenly wanted to eat seafood. Do you have a comfortable and convenient place?” Thea said.
“Well, let’s eat.”
After that, they headed to a restaurant that provided various types of seafood. Thea beamed when she saw the many mouth-watering foods.
Thea wasn’t stupid, I took her to an expensive restaurant where only certain people could enjoy this seafood dish.
How did Thea know? Of course, from the prices listed, the prices were fantastic!
“Order what you want to eat, Thea,” I said while handing Thea the menu.
“Um, this looks good, I’m confused. Do you have any recommendations for good seafood here?” Thea asked while flipping through the menu in front of her.
“If you want everything, then just buy it; I don’t mind as long as I’m happy.”
“Ah, James! I can’t buy everything. I just want your recommendation, how do I do it? What’s delicious?” Thea said while looking at me spoiledly.
I took out the menu in front of Thea and showed her the food that she thought was delicious. “This.”
“Wow! It looks delicious if that’s all,” Thea said.
We immediately ordered what I showed us earlier.
While waiting for their orders to be cooked, the two chatted happily with each other.
“James,” Thea called suddenly.
I, of course, immediately looked at Thea in confusion.
“What’s that?” I asked when Thea was silent.
“What if you meet my parents later?” Thea asked suddenly.
“What do you mean?”
“Come home with me, and you’ll meet my parents.” I was silent for a few seconds while staring at Thea intently.
“Aren’t we going home together? Do you want to take a taxi home from here?” She asked.
Ah, actually I knew what Thea meant, but I was just pretending to be stupid. I still want to have fun without the bonds of marriage.
“That’s not what I meant, James! After this, you will come to my house, okay? Meet my parents.”
“What’s wrong? Is there something important, Thea?”
“I just want our relationship to get closer. I also want you and my parents to get to know each other well, so I want you to come home with me after this, okay?” Thea asked with a chuckle.
The woman looked at me with a pleading gaze. “See, can you do it? I hope you can. So after this, you come to my house!”
