A joy for Harry. In his mind he thought about the pain Louisa's hard clap would have landed on his cheek. In fact, he got a reply that was more than his expectations. The lips he wanted all along were now colliding with hers. Chasing each other. Harry didn't even want to let go of Louisa's intoxicating soft lips for a second.
His eyes closed, absorbing every bite and sharing breaths to stay afloat. Slowly their lips began to stop crushing and adjust the distance. Louisa pursed her lips inward, her eyes moved restlessly, there was a feeling of guilt for having given this man so little hope. However, if she doesn't try, she will never know, could her heart be linked with this handsome man.
Harry, on the other hand, was cheering inside. Louisa has given access and the answer 'YES' so they can become lovers. Without asking whether his prejudice was true or not, he chose silence and did not demand much.
"Is this payment enough for lunch from you?" Harry shook his head "No, because I also want to take you out to dinner, the two of us while gazing at the stars." he said
"But I like the beach with the melodious sound of the waves and the little lights hanging, romantic," interrupted Louisa and Harry nodded, "On another occasion Princess, because there is quite far and I don't want you to be tired for tomorrow." Harry insisted.
"Hmmm, it so bad, I thought that with someone you like, you will be given whatever she wants." Louisa said pretending to be sulky and Harry coaxed her by holding Louisa's hand and then kissing the back of the hand gently.
"Whatever you want I will do, but I don't want you to get sick because of forcing yourself," said Harry with a wink and a charming smile. Louisa pouted her lips, "Okay Master, see you tomorrow then," she said.
Louisa got out of the car, waved goodbye then entered the house when Harry's car had reached the exit gate. She thought the occupants of the house had finished eating lunch, but it turned out that lunch was in progress. "You went out with the Mayor dressed like that?" chirped her father as she took one step towards the top.
"It's because of him!" Louisa said as she pointed at Marshawn. Not accept being accused by Marshawn he widened his eyes. "You didn't wear those clothes when we left my dear sister. Don't blame me because you forgot our family rules here on the principle of decency," said Marshawn while expressing the firmness that she as an older brother had reminded her of what was appropriate for Louisa.
Louisa chuckled lazily, climbing the stairs with a sour face. Her father still calls her. "Louisa, here is something I want to tell you."
She remembered Harry saying that they would meet again tomorrow. There is an event what makes them meet. Louisa went down the stairs and walked closer to the dining table. Sit and listen to what Father says about Carnival. "Because you and Harry are getting engaged, you are the representative of the palace to accompany him there."
Louisa took a deep breath, she didn't like crowds. Her eyes glanced at her mother for help. "Was the show long, baby, " Ella asked to Louis.
"You know Carnival can't be only 1 hour and--" Louis said and quickly interrupted by his wife "Your child is pregnant, in case you forgot."
Louis is a man of tough character, arrogant and coercive. His nature applies to anyone who is around him, including his own wife. But still he has a conscience that really loves his family. Protect, so that others are always respected because they are a noble class who cannot act freely or will get bad judgment in society.
"Call the doctor to ask for vitamins to keep her body healthy," said Louis casually while his wife stared at him. "You talk as if you've had a pregnancy," said his wife and their eyes met. A spark of emotion and anger begins to intertwine.
The three children don't want to see the commotion of their parents, who are always affectionate all the time. "Mom, Dad, let's take the middle ground. What if Louisa is given an excuse not to be able to attend the event for more than an hour," said Hayden while glancing at Louisa and Marshawn one by one.
"I'm going to pretend to be injured during practice and Mommy panics and calls Louisa," Marshawn said with a brilliant idea without any preparation. Both their parents nodded and that meant agreeing even if they had to lie. Instead of forcing Louisa whose condition does not allow her to appear in front of a crowd.

"What! It's not like I always accompanied the Queen Mother why now her!" Amora gets annoyed when her father tells her about the Carnival celebration. Previously, she had been feeling happy because it must have been her who was appointed as the escort. Standing beside Harry was her dream, so that people would see the compatibility between them and set them up.
Amora tries to attract sympathy from the wider community. "You have to swallow your disappointment because she is indeed in a position above you, Louisa is the matchmaker, not you. Don't be too ambitious to get Harry, there are many other better men," said his father soothingly but the mother did not accept because she was still trying to make Harry be her son-in-law.
"You should defend your child, not give up. Amora is better than Louisa. Amora knows her better than Louisa. Look at Louisa's behavior today, she is wearing golf clothes at lunch with Harry, is that good?" said the woman with passion.
"That depends on Harry, you can't accuse Louisa of not being good. Because Amora's behavior doesn't escape the attention of other people. The more that person always appears in society, the more they are known by people and they have to always put themselves in a perfect position even in an emotional state that is not fine. You forgot about the tragedy how many years ago," said the father, reminding the two women not to insist on defending themselves anymore because of power and material things that kept Amora out of the grip of the law.
"Make that a lesson and I'm grateful that he didn't choose you because of what? Because I'm embarrassed if later your bad deeds are found out one by one. Harry's parents, there's no way they agree with you marrying their child," continued this bald-headed and stocky man. He stood up after finishing the food on his plate and his wife rushed after him who would take a short break before returning to the office.
Amora tightly clenches her hands hitting the table lightly. Her jugular vein stretched, her eyes narrowed and her lips trembled with anger. She wanted to know which man had impregnated Louisa and akan drag it to the public if the man is a commoner without rank. Louisa and her family would be ashamed not to dare to defend themselves. "You will never marry him Louisa, I will reveal your rotten secret!" She muttered.
