Chapter 424 - She doesnt love me (2/2)

He brought both boxes into her house, grumbling under his breath about his failure of creating romantic supper for both of them. Sigh. It seemed like the steaks would get reheated and being eaten tomorrow morning as breakfast.

He moved the steaks into a smaller container before he placed it into the refrigerator. He also put the dessert into the refrigerator as well. He yawned loudly when he was done. What was the time now? He checked the time and frowned.

It was already late. No wonder he was getting drowsier by now. He supposed he should go to sleep if there was nothing else to do.

*~*~*~*

Harry woke up when the light hit his face hard. He groaned loudly and turned around backing the light. He even used the pillow to cover his face.

”My dear son, why aren't you waking up yet? You're not sick again, are you?” his mother asked cheerfully. She was the one who drew the curtain open to let the light brightening up the room. The sun has gone up in the sky but her only son still refused to get out of the bed.

Has he gotten sick again?

She checked his temperature by placing her palm against his forehead despite his groan. She frowned. His forehead felt normal. She meant, his temperature felt normal. It was not hot like last time. She let out a relieved sigh but quickly snapped out of it. She gripped the blanket and pulled it off him.

”Mother,” he groaned but she ignored him. She did not want him to keep himself in the room all the time. He was still young and should go out and spend time with his friends and just having fun. If he was too bored, he could just go to the office to help his dad or go do what models always do. Why would he just stay at home, no, just stay in his bedroom?

”Tell me, why you keep hiding here in your room? Shouldn't you go out having fun? No wonder you get sick last time,” she started nagging.

He closed his eyes and pulled a pillow to cover his face. He was tired of hearing her nag. He just wanted to be left alone.

”Or why don't you ask Ryn out? That poor dear must be tired of working as a model. You should go cheer her up,” she suggested Her eyes brightened like diamonds at the thought of the woman whom she already regarded as her daughter-in-law. She believed that by spending time together, both Harry and Catherine could nurture their feelings, and soon enough they would announce that they were boyfriend and girlfriend.

”She won't go out with me,” he muttered without thinking. He always kept his feeling inside but this time he was too heartbroken to control himself.

Her eyes widened. Why wouldn't she agree to go out with her handsome and brilliant son?

”Why... why not?”

”Because she doesn't love me,” he cried.

She blinked her eyes, could not believe what she just heard.

”Wh...what?”

”She doesn't love me. She loves someone else. Do you understand? She doesn't care about my feeling. She only takes me as her junior in modeling,” he cried loudly. He threw the pillow away and looked at his mother in frustration. His eyes reddened from his emotion.

Her face paled. She even stumbled backward as she placed both hands against her chest. She shook her head in denial. No, this can't be happening. No...

Her son must be bluffing. Her future daughter-in-law, the beautiful Catherine was not in love with her son? That Catherine did not have any romantic feelings toward her son?

”Tell me you're lying, Harry. You're just telling me your nightmare,” she choked out desperately.

Yes. This must be just his nightmare, her heart decided. Just a nightmare.
