It All Started With Hatred-Chapter 134: Sense of guilt

Pulling the seat for her like a gentleman. Ethan waited for her to sit down before he sat on his seat. The atmosphere was warm and cozy in the restaurant. With many people around them eating and chatting it appeared to be normal. The two of them were normal people.

Petal glanced around taking in everything around her before her eyes met Ethans. She noticed that he was looking at her the entire time but different from the usual. He looked at her with warm eyes.

"The place is beautiful." Petal said signaling.

Ethan reached his hand for hers on the table and she accepted it."The only beautiful thing I see here is you." He said not minding other people hearing him.

Petal blushed by the sweat words but didn’t look away from him. How could she? His face was enough to make her heart race and her body temperature rise. Enough to make her mesmerized by him.

Petal removed her hand only to start drawing letters on his palm. Ethan watched as her beautiful and elegant finger slowly drew the letters and he focused on each letter to guess the words."Y-o-u t-o-o l-o-o-k h-a-n-d-s-o-m-e."

Petal didn’t remove her hand and placed it in his again after she finished drawing the letters on his palm. Ethan’s hand warped around hers bringing her hand to lips kissing her knuckles." I feel flattered by your words. I’m glad that you view me as a handsome man." He said, dropping another kiss on her soft tender knuckles.

Petal smiled at his words. It was a different one. A smile full of happiness filled his own heart with warmth and fuzzy feelings. Ethan felt like a teenage boy with his hormones all over the place.

Their romantic moment was cut by the waiter who came to take their orders. Petal quickly retreated, embarrassed. Ethan on the other hand wasn’t. He pushed the menu towards her as he opened his own. "What do you like to eat?" Ethan asked as he was looking at the menu.

Petal appreciated being open for food tonight. Though she was aware that she gained weight easily. Especially if she ate too much at night. But for tonight she decided to not care.

Placing the menu on the table. She pointed at the dishes. Ethan was impressed by her choices for the food. For dinner. She chose Caprese Salad with Pesto Sauce and Mushroom Risotto. Two famous Italian foods. As for dessert she chose.Pistachio Panna Cotta. Panna cotta is a dessert made with gelatin, cream, and milk. Chilled and served with chopped pistachios garnishing. A perfect dessert to end your night with. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Good choice." Ethan praised her as he waved for the waiter.

Ten minutes later. Their food arrived and the delicious smell immediately filled Petal’s nostrils. She couldn’t wait to start eating.

Ethan watched as PetaI ate her food smiling with every bite she took. They had eaten together many times but he never saw her eating with this open appetite until now."Is it good?" He asked, sipping on his wine.

Nodding her head. Petal continued to eat but then she stopped noticing that he wasn’t eating. "Why are you not eating?" She noticed that this was his second wine glass since the food arrived.

Petal reached for the wine cup in his hand and put it on the table. Picking his fork. She stabbed the soft marshmallow piece and brought it to his lips. Forcing him to eat.

Ethan watched with amusement as Petal dearly took the glass of wine and offered to feed him. He knew he was being a super pervert but he was turned on by her innocent action. Ethan opened his mouth and let her feed him. The well-cooked marshmallow melted in his mouth. The food tasted delicious with her feeding him.

"If you keep feeding I might get used to it." Ethan said, taking the fork from her.

Petal didn’t say anything and shook her head hopelessly. Her boyfriend is a big pervert.

The couple enjoyed their dinner. The chatter in the restaurant added to the warm atmosphere. Now they were eating the dessert as they chatted.

"Do you want to go for a walk?" Ethan asked after they finished their food."The place here is nice." He suggested.

"I would love to." She replied, signaling.

Helping her to wear her coat. The two of them walked out of the restaurant holding hands. "It’s a beautiful night." Ethan said, looking at the dark clear sky. The darkness of the night always reminded him of Petal’s dark hair.

Petal felt him slip his hand around her waist pulling her closer to him as they walked. Just like Ethan said. The place here was beautiful. She had never been to this side of the city. The place was filled with the scent of orange trees. It was strong but pleasant.

She looked up at Ethan who was already looking at her. A smile formed on her lips. Tonight she’s very happy. She had never felt this amount of happiness in her life.

"May I know the reason for this breathtaking smile?" Ethan asked, reaching to cup her face. They had stopped near one of the orange trees Leaning against it.

Pointing at him. Petal replied to him. He was the reason for her happiness Tonight.

Ethan chuckled, feeling relieved."Then I am the happiest man on earth today. To know that I caused you to smile after I caused you sadness made me feel a little relieved of the sense of guilt I have been feeling all this time." He said.

"No need to feel guilty. It’s all in the past now." Petal said, signaling to try to make him feel better.

"I know. It’s all in the past." Ethan repeated. pressed his forehead on his.

Getting carried away by the romantic moment. Petal tiptoe and pressed her lips against his. The strong scent of wine was strong but she loved it. He also smells and tastes like the finest wine.
