True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1580

In Leah's villa.

It was eight o'clock in the evening when Ernest came back.

Seeing him enter through the door, Leah felt completely refreshed. There was a flash of surprise in her eyes, as if she had meticulously pulled herself together. Her eyes sparkled with laughter. "I thought you weren't coming back tonight?"

"How can I not? I said I'd take care of you, I won't go back on my words." Ernest smiled and walked in.

He held two large bags in his hands, inside was the light and healthy dinner he had ordered, and he placed it on the dining table.

Hearing his words, Leah was a bit surprised. After inspecting him carefully, she pursed her lips and said, "You truly live up to your promises."

Ernest nodded, "I've always felt like men shouldn't make light promises, but once you make a promise, you have to stand by it. You can't tweak or break it. This kind of self-discipline is needed when regarding something akin to a contract. It's not something anyone can do."

Ernest's words carried a hidden meaning.

Leah was a little astonished. It turned out he was the type of person who was reserved and determined to hold on to their promises.

His sense of responsibility explained his introverted nature.

Leah was constantly surprised. "Ernest is pretty great," she thought to herself and couldn't help but let out a laugh.

Ernest smiled at her. "Are you feeling better?"

Leah wasn't sure if he was asking about her mental or physical state, but her answer would be the same either way. She felt so much better.

The weight that suppressed Leah's heart was lifted, and she felt a wave of relief. She nodded happily. "I do feel better."

"That's good."

"Ernest, you're a really good person. I totally agree with you, this is how people should be to each other. Once you make a promise, you shouldn't treat it lightly, you have to see it to the end. I feel like I understand you so much more now."

A light flashed in Ernest's eyes, and he looked at her in awe. "Really? I'm honored."

Leah smiled and walked over. She looked at the bags on the table and asked, "What's inside?"

"I brought you dinner. Sorry it's a little late. My dad was talking to me when I was about to leave, so when I got to the takeout shop it was already dark. I hope that's not a problem?"

Leah quickly shook her head, it didn't bother her at all. "It seems like you haven't eaten yet, am I right?"

"Yeah, I haven't eaten yet. Let's eat together!"

"You're still taking care of me on an empty stomach, I would say you're the one who has it difficult. Besides, I'm not that cranky, I don't mind anything. I'd be a flaming fireball in that case, I'm not that kind of person," Leah said with a smile.

"Then what kind of person are you?"

"I'm beautiful, generous, and humble, you got that?"

Ernest smiled adoringly. "You're truly amazing."

He went to wash his hands, then came back to directly arrange the take-out boxes on the table. Box after box of takeout were set on the table with the sauces left on the side.

Leah exclaimed in surprise at each box that was opened by Ernest. "Wow, it looks and smells delicious. I'm getting pretty hungry, could it be that my cold is going away?"

"Your voice is much clearer than before. It's not too hoarse or nasally anymore but you still have to be careful. It still takes time for you to be fully healed, there's no need to rush." Ernest comforted her. "If you're hungry now, then it means your body is recovering."

"I'm not in a rush, I'm just worried that you're the one who will have to go back in a rush." She stuck out her tongue and said, "If you're in a hurry to go back to the UK, you can go. It's alright, I can take care of myself."

Ernest looked at Leah again, feeling like this girl was astounding. She didn't want to bother him, but she didn't say it out directly.

Leah really did meet all his standards.

"Let's eat quickly," said Ernest in a deep voice.

Both of them sat down and ate their mouthwatering dinner together.

Leah ate more than she did in the afternoon.

Ernest sighed and smiled when he saw her eating so much. "Looks like my cooking can't compare with restaurant food, you're eating so much more right now."

Leah immediately shook his head and explained, "No, it's not like that, Ernest. Your cooking is really good, your food was one of the best I've ever eaten, but I wasn't feeling so well in the afternoon. If you cook for me tomorrow morning, I'll definitely eat a lot."

Ernest laughed. He wasn't serious about it. He said, "I was just joking with you. Look at your distressed face, it's all red."

Leah's face bloomed in a blush. She looked at Ernest in embarrassment and said, "I was worried you might have gotten angry."

"I'm not that snappy," he said, looking at Leah's nervous blushing face, a little touched. "To be honest, I think the takeout is good too, it's much better than what I cooked."

"Those weren't empty praises, I was telling the truth." Leah was afraid he wouldn't believe her and explained again. "The feelings that are put into something are more important than anything else."

Hearing what she said, Ernest was a little surprised. Then, his eyes flashed with a glimmer of radiance as he stared deeply at Leah.

He smiled. The atmosphere was cozy as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years. Occasionally, they would glance at each other and see the hidden waves of emotions in their eyes. They would blush a little, but no one would say anything.

The mood was like a thin sheet of glass, no one wanted to break it.

However, Leah felt like she learned a lot about Ernest from their previous conversation. She felt like he was an extremely responsible person.

She came to see how he was the type of guy who wouldn't recklessly fall in love with girls, and it made her respect him even more, there was no resentment from her.

For most girls, a responsible man was very important.

If she found an irresponsible guy who gave her a heedless confession, then she would be in a heedless relationship, but it would also end in a heedless breakup. Would that be the meaning of love?

Her cold wasn't as intense as before, so she wasn't as drowsy. Although she still felt a little lazy, she clearly felt much better.

"How about watching a movie together?" Leah asked Ernest, feeling bored.

After a moment of thought, he said, "Sure, it's up to you."

"Don't just aimlessly go with what I say, at least give me a few pointers of what you might want?" Leah said with a smile.

Ernest pondered for a moment and said, "I prefer horror movies, but I like thrillers too." "Horror movies! Ah, what a coincidence, I like horror movies too!" Leah burst in excitement at the feeling of finding a fellow horror movie lover.

Ernest was speechless yet again.

He shook his head and looked at Leah with a smile. "Do you also like horror movies?"

"Absolutely, I love watching them because it always calms me down quickly," Leah smiled and said. "It might be scary, but it's also super intriguing, it clears up my mind."

Ernest laughed again and said, "I didn't expect you to be a horror movie lover too. I feel the same way when I watch them. It's easy to calm down when you also have to think rationally."

"Exactly, that's precisely how I feel! Let's find a terrifying one to watch." Leah beamed.

Ernest nodded. "You go look for one, I'm going to change."

This time, Ernest took a shower and changed into his pajamas instead of regular clothes. He felt much cleaner after changing.

He quickly put on his silk pajamas, which looked very luxurious and snug. Seeing him like this, Leah couldn't help but sigh at Mr. Jones' standard of living.

Leah sat cross-legged on the bed and patted on the seat beside her. She said to Ernest, "Let's sit on the bed, it's warm."

Ernest had no objections and nodded swiftly.

Leah placed her laptop on the shelf and said, "I need to turn off the lights so we can get that horror movie atmosphere. Is that okay?"

"Sure, it's up to you." Ernest had no complaints.

Leah went to turn off the light, and the vibes were set in an instant.

Ernest blinked and looked at Leah, who was smiling as she sighed. This girl was indeed different from the rest.
