FORBIDDEN TO FALL IN LOVE

41. Surrender

Daniel turned his face again. He was clearly avoiding Valeda's gaze. This even made Valeda more convinced by Celine's words. If Daniel is not jealous, Daniel should answer firmly and should not feel uncomfortable mentioning the name of Rangga.

"Really, huh? Are you jealous of Rangga?" valeda was impatient.

"You're so fucking hungry, are you?" ridicule Daniel.

Valeda came forward and looked up right in front of Daniel's bowed face. Valeda could feel the pounding of his hard heart and hunt when he saw Daniel's reddened face. This was the first time that Valeda had seen Daniel from this angle, and Daniel's expression stunned him for a long time.

"I'm just enjoying my role too much" Daniel leaned over until they hit his forehead. "Don't tease me! I could have been possessed by a demon and tempted you back" Daniel warned. "Forgive-" Daniel added as Valeda opened her mouth, "-we're just the two here." Daniel took a step forward and wrapped his hands around Valeda's waist.

Valeda swallowed his saliva with great difficulty. His legs became limp and he fell in Daniel's arms. He felt annoyed when he saw Daniel smiling mischievously.

"Well, well, well, look at you" said Daniel. "It turns out you're this easy to fall into a man's arms."

"Don't make fun of me!" great-grandson of Valeda while pushing Daniel. Instead of releasing Valeda and moving away, Daniel pushed Valeda into a corner of the wall. "Daniel!" Valeda hit Daniel's arm, panicking himself. He had never been in such a difficult position and it frightened him.

Daniel bowed until their faces became aligned. Valeda could feel Daniel's breath on his cheek. "You're so sweet like this, Val," Daniel's voice softened.

Unknowingly, Valeda is bewitched. He lost the energy to escape. His eyes were fixed on the blackness of Daniel's beautiful eyeballs. He had never felt so weak like this in front of a man. But Valeda does not hate the conditions he is in right now.

TING! VAT!

The sound of the doorbell echoed throughout Valeda's room. Daniel looked towards the entrance. "Who's coming in these nights?" muttered.

"I-I'll see who's coming" Valeda tries to escape from Daniel's arms.

Daniel hurriedly catches Valeda before Valeda is far from his reach. "Don't I tell you not to see anyone in these clothes?" daniel warned.

"But there are guests..."

"There I am here. You go into the room and change clothes for more..." Daniel stopped. He could not find the right words to show his excitement. Valeda was wearing a covered T-shirt, there was no way Daniel would have asked her to wear a more covered one. If Daniel asks Valeda to wear a jacket, it will look strange. "Wear thicker clothes" Daniel continued. "Then, wear trousers too!"

"You never comment when I wear a skirt at work. Why bother yourself now?" ask Valeda.

"That's for your own good" Daniel answered briefly, then forced Valeda to return to her room.

Valeda let out a long breath of time to enter his room back. All along, no one had paid so much attention to her clothes when she was already at home. In fact, when she was still living in the main house, Madam Emely never commented at all. In the past, it was Valeda's nannies who prepared clothes, so it always fit their lifestyle.

But now it's different after Daniel suggested Valeda wear a T-shirt. Valeda became comfortable with the tee shirt. The silk pajamas he used to wear were even less comfortable.

Valeda grabbed the phone she put on the bed. He did not immediately change clothes as Daniel instructed, but instead opened an internet browser. He was too curious about Daniel's unclear attitudes.

'WHY ARE MEN ANGRY WHEN THEIR PARTNERS WEAR SHORTS?'

Valeda typed that sentence in a search and started reading the article quickly. The more he read the article that appeared, the more red his face became.

"God! It seems I was too confident to type the word 'pair'," he grumbled.

Valeda threw his phone back on the bed. Although she did not believe much in the writing on the internet, she still chose to change her clothes. Valeda spent ten minutes picking out clothes that Daniel thought he would like.

"Oh, you guys are coming" Valeda said as she watched Celine and Kris sit in her living room.

"We want to see how you are" Celine replied. "Am I interrupting?"

"Val, is your tumben wearing formal clothing like this?" Celine looked at her watch for a moment. "Usually have you changed your clothes in your pajamas?"

"Ah... That's..." Valeda bit her lower lip. Valeda hasn't told Celine that all her pajamas are gone.

"Do you guys want to come to dinner?" take Daniel out of the kitchen.

"I'm coming" replied Kris quickly.

Celine turned to Kris who reacted quickly about the food. "Tumben you answered so quickly? You starving? Two loaves of bread wasn't enough?"

"Cel, you should try Daniel's cooking! He's an amazing cook!" Kris is excited himself.

"Have you ever tried Daniel's cooking?" ask Valeda to Celine.

"There's no reason for me to try the cooking. That boyfriend is you, Val. The one who brought you was Kris. I'm too busy with the office" Celine said.

"Well, I'll also cook for you both" Daniel said as a savory scent began to fill the room.

"Do I need to order something as our food companion?" tawar Kris's.

"There are a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator. Give me thirty minutes" replied Daniel.

Valeda stood up from his seat and immediately approached Daniel in the kitchen. "I want to help something" said Valeda.

Daniel stroked Valeda's head while smiling. "We have to cook together often" Daniel replied. "Then, can you fry the eggs? I'll cultivate meat."

"Consider me! I'm not very good yet" Pinta Valeda.

"Yes, yeah..."

Celine and Kris looked at each other. They were astonished by the attitude of the two people in front of them who were impressed like a real couple. Celine could not comment because she saw Daniel respond to Valeda with a gentle and sincere look.

"So, we're just sitting here and watching our boss make dinner with his girlfriend?" fashion Celine. He actually had a hunch that there had been a change with Valeda's feelings. But he didn't want to ask her blatantly. Celine enjoys how Valeda's cheeks are met red whenever Daniel accidentally nudges Valeda's shoulder.

"Yes, right! This is an opportunity for you to make me a chef" replied Valeda.

"Don't be offended, Miss," Kris responded. "I believe in Daniel, but if Miss's making her dinner, it looks like I'll be on leave tomorrow."

"I'm not that bad, Kris!" valeda's protest was upset, inviting the laughter of Daniel and Celine.

"Kris's right. You can't even tell the difference between sugar and salt" Celine supported Kris.

Valeda could only sneer, as everything Kris and Celine said was true. He turned to Daniel for help. "You're gonna teach me until you can, right?"

Daniel smiled wryly. "That means you admit your defeat?" ask Daniel.

"Yes, yes! I lost!" Valeda surrendered.
