Chapter 72: Pinch Me

They arrived at their destination in the shortest time of an hour, and Alex slowly drove the car into a dark area that was only visible with the support of the bright light of the car. He packed the car, and the men following behind them in the SUV also parked and hurriedly climbed down to open the door for them.

Adrik stepped down and gestured with his hand to Leia to help her out of the car.

Leia's brow furrowed a bit as she stepped down from the car and looked around their area that was filled with darkness. "Adrik..." She turned her head to question him, but when she saw his gestured hand, she held back the question.

A deep breath escaped her nose, and she interlocked her arms with his, then slowly, Adrik began to lead her somewhere that she couldn't see properly as a result of everything being enshrouded by darkness.

Adrik had just led her up a staircase, she had no idea was there when, unexpectedly, hundreds of small bulbs that emitted luminous light came on, leaving her motionless and dumbfounded.

A wooden bridge that led to a place she couldn't see properly yet, as she was still a distance away, came into view, and she raised her eyes to glance at Adrik, only to see him without a mask on his face and smiling at her.

"Adrik-"

"Come with me." He took her hand and, together, they stepped onto the bridge. They walked down, and another staircase came into view. 

As they walked down the last step, another, almost hundred bulbs that emitted both red, yellow, and green lights came on, revealing a vast garden that looked more beautiful than anything she had ever seen in her entire life.

The greatest thing about it was that there were different flowers around, especially her favorite, which were lily flowers, and a tall fountain with the sculpture of a mermaid spraying water. In the middle was a white, lovely canopy that was decorated with flowers and light bulbs. Under it was a white round table that had white chairs on either side of it.

Where was this? She had never seen or heard of this place before. Her jaw fell, and she slowly turned her head to look at Adrik with dilated eyes. "This..." 

"Don't say anything, but just come with me." Adrik smiled at her and led her towards the canopy. He pulled out the chair and Leia sat down, her face still blank in shock. Yes, he told her he was taking her on a date, but she honestly wasn't expecting this at all. It was all just so lovely and romantic.

Adrik walked over and took his seat, then, men from nowhere emerged with food and bottles of wine in a shelf trolley and professionally set them on the table.

"Bon appétit, monsieur et madame Avalanzo." The chefs took a deep bow after they set everything up poured wine into their glasses and took their leave. 

Leia fluttered her eyes in shock and glanced down at the delicacies on the table. A breath of amazement left her mouth and her lashes blinked vigorously. 

"Enjoy yourself, little wife." Adrik smiled at her and proceeded to fill her plate. He handed it over to her.

Leia received it with a dumbfounded expression still visible on her face, and Adrik couldn't help but chuckle at her behavior. Has she never experienced this before? I mean, surely she must have dated back in high school.

Leia slowly enjoyed her food together with Adrik, and her heart couldn't stop bubbling with happiness. She raised her eyes to stare at Adrik, only to see him gazing at her with folded arms and a smile on his face.

Her eyes darted around and she smiled awkwardly.

"When is your birthday?" Adrik abruptly asked, causing her to draw her head back in surprise. "My birthday?"

"Yes, your birthday." He nodded at her with a smile still apparent on his face.

"Well... It's..on November 25." Leia smiled as she said, but when she glanced at Adrik's face, she found it to be blank, devoid of any emotion.

Her eyes blinked in confusion, and she couldn't help but call his name. "Adrik..."

Adrik raised his eyes to glance at her and parted his lips to say something, but not a single word came out.

Leia became more worried and reached out her hand to place it on his. "Adrik, did I say something wrong?" She asked in a low tone that he had never heard her use before, and as though snapping out of a twisted thought, he gazed at her with a less expressionless face. "No, no... you didn't say anything wrong." He grabbed her hand and rubbed it softly. "It's just that I was lost for a bit because I just realized that we have the same birthdate and birth month." He smiled sweetly and caressed her hair.

"Th-the same birthdate and birth month?" Leia stared at him in a questioning manner, and when he nodded at her, she chuckled in disbelief. "That's... impossible."

Adrik raised his brow at her and laughed softly. "Would I lie to you about something like that?" He smirked.

"Well... no." She shook her head and flickered her eyes in surprise. "So that means... we celebrate our birthdays on the same day and month?

"Yes." Adrik tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and caressed her cheek.

Leia parted her lips to speak, but an abrupt, slow classical music resounded, and she hurriedly turned her head, only to have her eyes widen in shock.

Near the fountains, under the beautiful lights, were composers clad in matching outfits, playing their instruments, which were producing romantic classical music.

Leia's jaw fell and her head shook in doubt. Is all this real or is she dreaming? She hoped it wasn't a dream, but if it was, then she didn't want to wake up.

She slowly turned her head to stare at Adrik, and her head shook in amazement and disbelief. "Pinch me." She said to Adrik, and he fluttered his eyes in astonishment. Why is his little wife asking him to pinch her? Does she think she is in a dream? He chuckled inwardly and cleared his throat to say something, but Leia told him yet again to pinch her.

He darted his eyes around, and having no choice, he pinched her and an "ouch" left Leia's mouth.

"It isn't a dream.." An expression of happiness emerged on her face, and she turned to Adrik to see him standing up with his hand gesturing to her. "'May I have this dance, little wife?
