Autumn Frost

Chapter 15

Qiu Shuang's pov

Jeremy placed the duck meat on my bowl using his chopsticks. "Eat more. "

I took the duck meat to my mouth. "You sound like my mum now."

The aroma of the meat filled my mouth as my tongue tasted the delicious taste of the sauce. I closed my eyes in satisfaction.

It's been a long time since I've ate Chinese food. I've missed the taste of it.

He grinned. "I told you my cooking skills ain't bad. "

I nodded in agreement as I stuffed more rice into my mouth to chew along with the meat. I hadn't regret the decision of accepting Jeremy's invitation to eat over at his house.

I've called him for help, wanting to ask him a favour to fetch me back home but instead, he had brought me out to see the city view. I've never really got the chance and time to admire it so I guess the day was well spent with him.

Then we went back to his house to eat dinner.

And the food is DIVINE.

Using my chopsticks, I took a few more glass lettuce, duck meat and steamed fish onto my bowl. I had to eat all of this.

"Where did you learn all of these? " I asked him between my chomps.

"I lived in China before." he winked. "For 5 years."

"所以你会说华语？"

"Yes. Even Hokkien, Teochew, Guan Dong and other dialects. " he told me as he drank his soup.

I was in awe. Such a man of many talents.

The dessert was black sesame paste with peanut butter ball-like treats in it. The Chinese call it "芝麻糊". Zhi Ma Hu was one of the traditional desserts we eat when it was winter solstice, and the whole family had to gather around to eat some sweet dumplings.

Mum makes this for us once every year.

My eyes welled up with tears at the thought of her. I complimented Jeremy once more, and sensing my homesickness, he asked if I would like to talk about it.

I smiled. And I started to tell him how I signed the contract and ended up with Grayson.

Jeremy's pov
Qiu Shuang is the kindest, sweetest woman I've ever met.

The first time I saw her, I was absorbed in her alluring, enchanting brown orbs. The way it glinted in amusement, the way it dimmed with sadness, the way it looked in love when she talked about him.

I envy him. He had so many, why not let her go? He couldn't give her his full attention, even if he do love her.

Having six wives meant having to divide his heart into six parts. I could give her my whole heart. She don't have to share.

She always finds the best things in a person. She doesn't judge. She's quiet; reserved, always keeping her thoughts to herself whenever she purse her luscious lips. She's constantly thinking and planning.

She's a mystery. A much more complicated mystery than him. She's a Mona Lisa.

I would like to be the one to solve her. Open her heart, show her things she's never seen before, give her the love she can never have.

But she's in love with him. I could tell.

Her eyes tells everything.

Her lips are moving; she's talking about how she got here. Why do it though? Why still marry her? Love at first sight?

I don't believe in fantasies of love at first sight. But the moment I laid eyes on her, I was dumb struck.

How I wish I was the one that met her first.

I wish I get an opportunity. When I get one, I swear I'll cherish her like no one does.

I'll love her with my heart.

"Jeremy?" she waved her hand in front of meme and I was instantly snapped out from my thoughts.

"Yeah sorry. Just zoned out a bit. You were saying?"

"I was saying I should go home now. I'm feeling quite tired. " she tilted her head.

"Right. " I stood up and grabbed my car key from the wall. "Let's get you home."

I have a feeling God would grant me my wish.

Grayson's pov
"Mr Blythe? Congratulations." I was given a broad smile by the doctor as he shook my hand firmly. "You have a son."

I nodded solemnly. "How is she?"

"Both mother and son are safe. Would you like to go in to check on the mother?"

My phone rang. Whoever it is, I thank him/she for calling at the right time. I needed time to think.

"Just a minute. "

The doctor nodded and walked away, still smiling like he had seen the happiest thing on earth.

I answered the phone call, not even bothering to check the caller id. "Hello?"

"From the other side." Qiu Shuang's voice came answering. I laughed at her attempted joke. At least I knew she was back to her delightful self.

"The baby's out. "

She went silent once more. "Want me to go over?"

"No. I can deal this myself. You get some rest. It was a busy day for you. " I mumbled.

"Okay." she paused. "Love you. "

"Love you too."

Glancing warily at the waiting room where Tovi would be in, I could only pray and hope that this conversation would go as planned.

所以你会说华语= so you can speak mandarin

BA DA BUM BUM BUMMMMMMM!!!! A JEREMY POV! Such a sweet ice cream man huh ;)

I guess Grayson has to look out for Qiu Shuang, if not she'll get swept of her feet any moment now.

And BOOM THE BABY IS FINALLY OUT. FINALLEHHHHH.

After months of torture, it came out. But hey there's another baby ;))

The following chapters would be quite short, please bear with me, I'm trying to have more ideas so each chapter won't be boring for you guys and I wanted to leave you guys hanging at the end of each chapter HAHAHAH

But alas no. Unless it's really something exciting, or nerve wrecking, or whatever it is, you get the point.
