THE HEIR'S BEDMATE
Chapters. 24. Dinner.
That night, as Edward said earlier this afternoon, he took Laura for a walk outside the villa. Not far from the luxurious villa they occupied. Just walking on the beach. Enjoy the beautiful view of sea water decorated with moonlight.
Laura walked while carrying her shoes. He uses a long-sleeved shirt made of rayon, white in combination with black hot pant.
Laura didn't know what to wear. She also has no evening dress. But the girl did not run out of ideas, she asked for the help of her smartphone. And here's the result he got, pretty good. Not too bad.
Laura ran small to the beach, when the waves came she would run away. Like a kid playing at the beach for the first time.
The grown man who was not far away from her, gave a smile. Seeing her girl so happy, she also felt happy.
“Have you never been to the beach before?” Edward asked as they walked back.
“Why?” Not to answer, but Laura asked again.
“You're like a kid who's first time to beach”. Answer the man.
Laura breathed out a rough breath. It is not that he has never been to the beach, it is just that for a very long time he has never set foot in the water that has a natural salty taste. Last time when his mother was healthy. Maybe when he was 13 years old, he himself had forgotten.
“Why daydream? Let's get to.” Edward grabbed and clasped Laura's hand that wasn't toting her shoes.

“I want dinner with Korean specialties, dear.” Monica tells Johan who is busy driving.
“Korean Food huh?” Johan muttered. Honestly, he did not really like the typical food of the country that is famous for the Boys & Girls band.
“Why? You want to refuse again?” Monica already knows her boyfriend doesn't like her.
“How about we eat, Balinese food only? There is chicken betutu, sate lilit, fried duck with sambal matah, there is also duck-lil
“No, babe”. Not done yet Johan spoke already cut by Monica. “Last time I made sure you ate Korean food you also refused. Now no more rejection!” Strictly the girl.
“But baby, I-I
“Rejecting me means reducing your allotment touching me!” Monica pointed her right forearm towards Johan and then pointed in front of her own chest.
“Jeez, babe. Okay.good my love. Tonight we eat Korean food as much as you”. Johan was forced to give up for his survival.
“So dear dong, if you don't want to, also no problem for me. So I don't bother to-”. Said Monica.
“Sure I want dear.” Sela Johan was quick.
Moments later, they arrive at one of Monica's favorite Korean restaurants. The girl hummed ria, because her lover complied with her wishes.
“Honey, is the boss not heard?” Ask the girl while choosing what to eat.
“Why? Wouldn't it be good for us if he didn't have any news?” Johan closed his menu book, he had no choice for this one meal.
“Not so dear, it just feels strange if a day does not get interference from that person”.
“Maybe she's busy with Miss Laura”. Johan pressed his shoulders.

“You like this place?” Ask Edward to Laura. Now they sit in a restaurant on the beach, for dinner.
“If I say like, will you buy this restaurant for me?” Again, Edward's question was answered with a question by Laura.
‘Wah.. this man is so cocky’ inner sneer Laura.
A waitress came to interrupt their conversation. Various dishes from processed Seafood neatly arranged on the table.
Laura's eyes sparkled to see the amount of food and drink presented in front of her. There are grilled carp, grilled shrimp, fish head soup, sweet sour crab, kale stir fry, flour fried squid, white rice, fresh fruit, fruit juice and mineral water.
If you look back, the food was enough to eat four people. Laura wasn't sure she and Edward could finish off that much.
“Ed, do we just eat this alone?” Laura asked as she pointed at the food on the table.
“You want me to call Johan here? She really likes to eat Seafood.”
“Ah, no. You're not cut out to make jokes, Ed”. Laura took the plate available in front of Edward and filled it with a spoonful of rice.
“That's it first, Ra.” The man prevented Laura from wanting to fill her plate again.
Laura put the plate in front of Edward, he then brought the plates closer to the other dishes.
“Already let it in place, later we take one by one.”
“Hmm, welcome to eat, Ed.”

“Ma, why didn't papa come today, ma?” Devan asked the mother. Now they are relaxing on the bed after dinner.
“Hah” Felisha sighed, “sayang, papa last afternoon contacted mama, he said papa was having work out of town.”
“Why didn't papa invite us, ma? Usually papa will take us, if going to Bali.”
“Papa says, he has another job after his work visit, baby. So papa can't take us”. Answer Felisha.
“Ma, will Devan also work in papa's place?” Ask the 8-year-old.
“Surely, someday you will replace your papa working in the company.” Felisha stroked her son's head gently.
“Then from that, Devan must be diligent in learning. So Devan can be as good as Devan.” Another imbibing.
“Iya ma, Devan will be diligent in learning.”
“Well now let's sleep, it's already night”. Felisha kissed Devan on the forehead, then covered her beloved son.
“Good night, mama”.
“Good night, too. Baby”
‘Thank you for giving me a very handsome and smart son like you, dear’
