Grace stared at him helplessly with complicated emotions as he goes away. As she lived alone, she was used to making breakfast herself. However, since Arthur come into her life, she had literally never made breakfast or done anything much.
She went to the kitchen and started working on it. However, she hadn't done anything much when Arthur come back. His hair was still damp and messy. He was wearing casual jeans and a t-shirt. He was really handsome in his casual clothes.
He took over everything against Grace's will. In the end, she helplessly went inside the room as Arthur continued cooking.
The days continued like this. They were just like an old couple. They eat together, discussed important matters before taking action, went through everything together and relied on each other.
Just like that one more month passed away. They had been together like this for almost a month. Finally, Nicole informed them that Eliza is actually cured right now. However, for 1-2 years or maybe more, they have to be very careful about her health, her diet and etc. They should not exhaust her, let her eat anything harmful or junk food, let her be relaxed and happy. These factors can affect her life. The worst that can happen is that her Leukemia may reoccur.
However, the situation right now was really better. It was in their favour. They only have to be careful about these little things. They can go back to work and also resume their regular life. They don't need to be on edge anymore.
Nicole also told Grace that they are very lucky. Eliza's treatment was done at the perfect time. Because of her young age and luck, she had more than 80% chance to live normally. She will be able to live like any other child.
Arthur planned a celebration between families for such a happy occasion. Of course, he was very careful about Eliza's health and made sure to take care of everything carefully. He told Grace about it. Grace was shocked and she felt that she wasn't ready for it. After all, Alex, Lisa, Robin, Zayn, Lee and all the others will be there.
For a common citizen, to meet the royal family, anyone would feel pressurised. Moreover, she always felt guilty for not accepting Arthur. She feared what they would think of her. Would they think she took advantage of Arthur and kept him hanging? That she is not a good person.
Moreover, she was all alone. Her family was not there. She felt like an inferior stranger among them. Therefore, when she heard about it, she was quite flustered about it.
Arthur understood what was going on in her head. His eyes flashed with a hint of sorrow as he said.
" Grace, don't worry. My family, they are really warm. Please don't feel pressurised. I am not that despicable to use this method and pressure you to be with me. Let me tell you, even if you never thought of me as a man, as long as you aloud it, I will be by your side as a friend. If you don't want me as a lover, then I will be your friend. If you don't want me to be your friend, I will be with you as a relative. If you don't want me to be your relative, I will be with you as a stranger.
You protect your secret, I will protect you...
If you are really not comfortable then I will cancel it. I haven't told anyone yet. I just wanted you to stay by my side. I don't care about the status as long as I am able to be by your side. I just wanted to share my greatest happiness with you. My family is my greatest happiness. I dare not be greedy."
" ..... " Grace couldn't explain her feelings. She felt very conflicted.
" ...It's okay." She was trying her best to abstain from falling into the poison of love but she was completely helpless every time it comes to him.
