Henry planned and prepared everything today, all on his own.
The design of the gown, the decoration in the cruise, the rings, the surprise in the evening, he did everything without anyone’s help.
Even though he was not so good at showing affection, but it would often turn out exceptionally well if he put in some effort.
Soon, Zoe was done with her make-up.
The stylists helped her up and helped her change into the gown.
Zoe just stood there as they put the dress on her. In the end, she couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What are you guys doing? Why am I dressed up so formally? I don’t think today is some special day.”
The stylist smiled at her mysteriously, not planning to tell her the truth.
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Han. We are not allowed to say anything. Otherwise, Mr. Han will get angry at us.”
The other stylist also laughed as she said, “Don’t worry, you will find out real soon.”
Zoe agreed, she would find out soon.
And they weren’t going to tell her even if she wanted to know. She helplessly brushed off the questions she prepared in her head to extract information from them.
After changing, she looked in the mirror. She was surprised when she saw the girl in the mirror with delicate make-up.
The stylist said, “You look very good in this gown. Mr. Han has good taste.
Natalia was shocked, she asked, “He chose this?”
“Yes! It’s made by the top designer Frank. Mr. Han presented him a draft and Frank improved it. He then handmade the gown.”
Zoe was aghast.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
She remembered that not long ago, Henry was constantly on business trips. Even when he was in Julio, he would stay in the compan! all the time. Anyway, he had been extremely busy during that period of time.
When he finally got back, he said to bring her on a trip. How did he manage to find time to design a gown and decorate everything?
The stylists weren’t going to say anything more and Natalia stopped asking.
She was done changing and the stylist added a necklace on her. They then guided her out.
Henry was already waiting outside.
His eyes sparkled when he saw her.
Zoe always looked good in all sorts of clothing.
She was tall and slender, and her skin was fair. The pink gown made her looked tender and lovely, and her cheeks were rosy. She was absolutely charming.
Henry smiled. He went up and grabbed her hand. He said to the stylists, “Thank you for your hard work!”
They smiled and waved their hands, “No need to thank us, it’s our job. We will take our leave if there’s nothing else to do.”
Henry nodded and they left.
After they left, Zoe couldn’t resist the urge anymore. She looked up and noticed that he changed into another outfit as well.
He wasn’t in the white suit anymore, but a more formal black suit with a swallow tail.
Henry was tall and strong to begin with. He looked even more elegant and noble in this outfit.
She was in awe, and then she asked, “What are you planning all behind me? Also, why are we in such formal outfits? Are we attending some important event today?”
Archie reached out his hand and tugged a loose strand of hair behind her ears. He smiled, “Yes, there’s an important event that we must attend today.”
Her eyes were wide open, “What event?”
He raised the arch of his brow, “You’ll find out soon enough.”
He held her hand and walked out of the area.
He grabbed her hand and she could only follow him. Archie wasn’t going to tell her anything and she was burning in curiosity.
As they were walking, she asked eagerly again, “Where are we going?”
Henry looked down and stared at her. He pointed at his watch, ‘It’s almost eight, are you hungry?”
Zoe only then realized that she hadn’t eaten anything!
It was all his fault for making things so complicated! Originally, she was waiting for him for the dinner in their villa.
She ran out of the house after hearing that he got hurt. She didn’t care about anything else.
But when she got here, she was brought into the make-up room. She was forced to stay there for more than two hours and didn’t have the chance to eat.
Now that he mentioned it, she realized that she was starving.
Zoe thought about it and eyed him reproachingly, “It’s your fault! Nancy said that you got hurt, but look at you! What happened?”
Henry looked a bit awkward hearing what she said.
He rubbed his nose and tried to explain, “I wasn’t hurt. She lied.”
Zoe scoffed coldly, “How dare you guys lied about something like that. You guys were in this together!”
Henry was also in dismal as he only told Nancy to help him pass on the message. He didn’t know that she would use such a way to get Zoe over.
But it was too late to back out, he couldn’t let this slip. He said gently as he smiled, “Sorry, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t let her use such a lie to make you come over. But I felt very happy, seeing how worried you were about me.”
Zoe was speechless. She glared at him and didn’t press the matter further.
They arrived at the restaurant. It was an open-air restaurant located on the second floor of the deck of the cruise.
It was decorated with white veils and there was a long rectangle table in the middle. The table was decorated prettily, there were vases of flowers on it. It was simple yet romantic.
They sat down and the waitresses walked over, bringing one dish after another.
The dishes were naturally prepared beforehand. It was delicious and unique.
Zoe liked prawns. Archie prepared some
and put them in front of her.
He peeled them and put them in her bowl. He said in a low voice, “It’s cold in the night. You should eat something warmer. Don’t eat too many prawns.”
Zoe nodded. Nothing happened during their meal. Archie peeked at his phone twice, and it seemed like someone was reporting something to him.
She was done eating by the time he looked at his phone for the third time.
He cleaned his hands and stood up. He reached out his hand and wanted to hold hers.
“Alright, let’s go!
It was almost ten in the evening.
It was windy on the cruise and the temperature had gone down.
Zoe asked, “Are we not going back to the villa?”
“Not yet.”
He answered. He then made a call.
“Bring it over!”
Zoe looked at him. She didn’t know what he was planning. She had a thick wool jacket on and stood next to him on the deck. She didn’t feel cold.
After a while, she heard noises coming from the sky.
She was surprised. She looked up and found a black dot in the night sky.
She looked at Henry in shock.
“Where are we going?”
Henry smiled. He looked at her and said, “Will you trust me?”
Zoe nodded.
“Close your eyes.”
She was dumbfounded. She stared at his gentle and profound eyes and decided to trust him. And so, she closed her eyes.
