Chapter 209 - Why are you doing this?

"It's not like that, I cannot wait to see the place you grew up in. But What if your mom doesn't like it?" lowering her head, she added, "I don't want to complicate things and—" 

Cutting her off, he cupped her face, "Nothing will happen, you trust me right?" When she nodded her head, he smiled, "That is all you have to do honey, trust me." 

Kissing the back of her hand, he guided her inside the mansion. 

….

Inside. 

As soon as they entered the mansion, the helpers quickly approached them. 

"Sir, you are here," Mr Oster politely greeted them. 

Placing his hand on Ellie's back, Sebastian explained, "He is Mr Oster, he has been working here before I was born and he is in charge of everything around here." 

Giving Ellie a respective bow, Oster inquired, "Will you be staying for the night sir? Shall I ask someone to open your room?" 

"You don't have to, aunt Rosy invited us for dinner so I decided to show my lady around." Looking at Ellie, Sebastian smiled, "Let's go." 

"Do let me know if you need anything sir." 

After Oster left, Ellie wrapped her hand around his arm and chuckled, "My lady, that was new." 

"I know right? Wanted to say this for a really long time but I was looking for a perfect moment," he chuckled. 

"Hmm, I like 'my lady', you should say it often," she exclaimed before tightening her grip around his arm. 

Wrapping his arms around her waist, he whispered, "There are many things I wanna call you, just waiting for the right moment." 

Looking around, Ellie chuckled and pushed him away, "Stop being sly and show me around." 

Without saying anything, he guided her upstairs. 

….

Inside Sebastian's room. 

"So this is my room, it's not anything special, just a normal nerdy room," he explained. 

Looking around, she exclaimed, "It's beautiful." Walking around, she chuckled, "It's almost double my room size, how can you call this 'not special'?" 

Hugging her from behind, he kissed her nape, "As long as you like it honey." 

Running her fingers through the books that were neatly arranged in the bookshelf, she inquired, "You read them all?" 

"Each and everyone," he replied. 

Taking out a random book, she examined the cover, "Wow this is as good as new." 

"I read this when I was in high school," he informed. 

Widening her eyes in shock, she snapped, "What? You are kidding me right?" 

"No I am not, what makes you think that I am?" he chuckled. 

Looking at the clean intact book cover, she frowned, "Were you not familiar with the concept of turning the book that you read into a disaster? I mean scribbling on random pages, writing on the book cover, tearing a few pages and then the bind wears off, the pages are just falling around like dry leaves in autumn." 

Scrunching his brows, he retorted, "Why would anyone do that? Books give us knowledge, we are supposed to keep them clean." 

Placing the book back, Ellie turned towards him and placed her hand on either side of his shoulder. "Normal students sweetheart, normal students do that." Without waiting for his reply, she added, "You can even sell them off for the same price." 

Thinking for quite some time, he stated, "Our kids need to keep their books the way I keep them, they won't be allowed to scribble on them. Maybe we can gift them something if they keep their books neat and—" 

Cutting him off, she snapped, "No restricting my kids for something as unnecessary as this." 

Left with no other choice, he sighed, "Alright, we will do as you say." 

"Your room is beautiful Seb," she remarked. 

Pulling her closer, he grinned, "The bed is super soft too." 

Slapping his cheek, she chuckled, "Show me the garden first and then maybe we can test how soft it is." 

"Why do you wanna see the garden? It's just grass and trees everywhere, how boring," he frowned. 

Grabbing his hand, she dragged him out of the room. "Ava told me that I should see the garden because it's beautiful." 

.....

Garden. 

Looking down, Sebastian explained, "Look at the grass." Without waiting for her reply, he slowly lifted her cheeks up. "Trees, plants and fresh air. I told you it's nothing so special." 

"Wait, why are you in a hurry? Let me look around," she stated. But before she could take a step, he scooped her into his arms. 

Squealing in surprise, she smacked his chest, "What is wrong with you? You scared me." 

Walking forward, he answered, "I'll give you a tour like this because if you walk on your own, you will take your own sweet time." 

Hooking her arms around his neck, she chuckled, "Sly Sebastian is very bad and you should put me down before someone sees us." 

"And what makes you think that I care? Let them see and be jealous, I wanna flaunt my love and beautiful girlfriend," he proudly exclaimed. 

Looking at the beautiful flowers, she smiled, "These are so beautiful, you know back in Seattle, dad and I were in charge of the garden. We used to spend our weekend taking care of it and mom used to make snacks for us." 

"You miss them, right?" 

Fidgeting with his collar, she nodded her head, "I do and this is why I was planning to visit them next week—" 

Cutting her off, he scoffed, "Hold on young lady, what now?" 

"Young lady? Who are you, my dad?" she chuckled. 

"I don't know, this just felt like a 'Young lady' kind of a moment but that is not the whole point, why are you doing this to me Ellie? Why?" Without waiting for his reply, he whined, "First you tell me that there is no limit in our relationship and then now you want to go to Seattle? It's like giving a kid candy and then taking it away, you are taking away the kid's happiness which is not good."
