Chapter 4 - Dinner with him

Serin and Arya were deeply engrossed in painting when Arya's phone rang. "Ah, Serin, please wait, the professor is calling me," Arya said.Just as I was about to complete the painting, my concept was to depict a girl gazing at a boy through a window. The boy, engrossed in reading a book, and the girl were both lost in their own imaginative worlds yet existing in the same realm.Numerous additional details were included in the painting, making me wonder if anyone can truly grasp all the stories it holds.Serin completed the painting before Arya arrived, so she covered it and informed Arya that she was leaving.As night descended, I stepped outside and spotted Rowan in the hallway. The thought struck me, "Should I invite him to have dinner?" Feeling hungry, I pondered the decision. Before I could act, Rowan approached me and simply said, "Come to my place."Rowan stood before me and invited me to come to his house, "huh?" I have no idea what to say to him now." my mother want to see my girlfriend" Rowan told with a serious expression that his mother want to meet me , leaving me stumble just hearing the word girlfriend.I nodded hesitantly, feeling anxious about whether his mother would approve of me or not Rowan realized she was still, he walked closer to her and gently taking her hand, with his smooth tanned rough palm, a sudden shock occurred when he touch he hand .she looked at her hand that were now grabbed by a him , a red blush appear on her cheek .After completing her tasks, Arya walked into the hall and was not so surprised to see Rowan with Serin. She was smiled sweetly before making a shock face "Is this real? Why did she keep it a secret?" Arya pretended to cry, clutching her heart. "I wish I had a partner too, my lonely single life."Arya already knew that Serin have crush on Rowan since the first time they met Serin and Rowan got out of a car that parked in front of a massive building, then entered the building.Serin clutches Rowan's bag due to feeling anxious.Rowan observed her through the mirrored reflection of the elevator. He slowly move near Serin letting her know that its okay In no time, they arrived at the top of the building. The decoration was lovely, with a couple conversing and enjoying tea. Serin knew that they were the parents,Rowan introduced his parents, when they heard his voice ,they looked at the direction, Serin became anxious and quickly said hello to them. The elderly lady strolled in front of the peaceful scene and gazed at her before giving a smile."Oh, my goodness, you are absolutely beautiful. Rowan's selection of you is not surprising. I can now relax knowing my son, who has a cold heart, has someone who cares for him," she welcomed with open arms, Serin felt a weight lifted off her shoulders knowing that Rowan's mom approved of her.Rowan sat beside his father as Serin was close to Rowan's mother, who was occupied feeding all the mouthwatering dishes."Your mother always yearned for a daughter, and now this household finally has one. Make sure to look after her," Rowan's father warn him while he was engrossed in gazing at his girlfriend's chubby cheeks filled with food.Tonight, Rowan's mother and Serin had a good relationship. Serin didn't realize it was already 8 o'clock. "Oh, Serin, why not spend the night here?" Rowan's mother suggested. Serin was about to decline when Rowan said, "Serin, stay here tonight."His father added, "It's not a stranger's house, but your boyfriend's house, Serin."Upon hearing those words, Serin's face turned as red as a tomato, and she almost fainted when he grabbed her waist and pulled her close to him.She gazed directly into Rowan's eyes, which were already fixed on her, feeling as though they were urging her to remain."This is Rowan's floor , you can choose his room but if you want space there is a guest room"Rowan's mother told,Serin was surprised by the unique design of the floor compared to others."Wow," she exclaimed in awe, "do you guys own this building?" Serin inquired with interest.Upon hearing Rowan's voice saying, "hm, we own it," Serin turned around and saw him standing directly behind her."Okay bye, sleep well" Rowan's mother said before leaving , Serin didn't know that Rowan was from a very rich family even after knowing him for so long .I was jolted from my thoughts by the sound of someone clearing their throat, just as I was about to retreat, but I unexpectedly bumped into something solid and slowly glanced upward.I was being watched by a set of eyes, accompanied by a slight grin."your smile is so pretty" i mumbled, it was really gorgeous, my eyes were fixed on it
