The Law of Attraction

Chapter 130: You Look Ugly

Chapter 130: You Look Ugly

At Sy mansion, the head of the family released a heavy deep sigh while he looked at all the empty seats on the dining table.

"It feels so lonely eating dinner alone in such a gigantic house despite having three children and a daughter-in-law as well! How dare the two of them work till late at the same time! Are they trying to ignore this old man together?" Senior Sy mumbled pertaining to Jorge and Miley. Gracy was not back as well, saying she would have dinner with her uncle.

*Cough *Cough *Cough

Jorge suddenly started coughing, and then Miley followed.

"Father must be complaining for being left alone," Miley muttered as she drank water to ease the sudden itchiness of her throat.

"Next time let's avoid going out for dinner like this while Liam is not at home. Or maybe we can eat dinner with father, then sneak out later for a cup of coffee together." Jorge commented while he gently stroked Miley's back.

The two were enjoying a romantic dinner in a luxurious hotel, sitting on the terrace with a beautiful bird's-eye view of the city lights.

Miley pouted her lips while Jorge added, "How about we tell it already to father? About the two of us? I'm sure he will be delighted to find out."

"Not yet… Besides, I want to enjoy the courtship period and a little sneaking out with you." Miley groaned.

She knew her father well and was sure once he found out about Jorge dating Miley, he would get them married within a few days. She also wanted to get married, but she wanted Jorge to be punished first for making her wait for so long.

Now it was Jorge's turn, and she wanted him to feel the frustration that she felt. He should also wait and experience courting her as well. She heard that men treasured their women more once they go through hardship and make efforts to get her.

"Miley…" Jorge whispered after putting more fish on Miley's plate.

"Huh?" Miley breathed as she continued to eat.

"I'm thinking of shifting in my ancestral house for a while." Jorge stated. He wanted to not let Senior Sy down and sneak into Miley's room if he lost control, also he wanted to experience the real flavour of their relationship and that would only be possible if he lived separately for the time being.

"Hmm, father will feel very lonely if he hears that, but I understand you Jorge." Miley commented. She too would feel sad staying at a distance from him, but she hid her emotions for the sake of his happiness.

"We can then tell father about us once I leave the mansion…" Jorge added.

"No, not yet. We must not tell them yet. You see… We have to be sure about everything first." Miley commented, intentionally hanging up her words.

Jorge blinked several times while he stared at Miley baffled.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

Miley controlled her grin as she said, "Well… You see, a lot of things can still happen. With us being together like this is like a trial and error in our relationship before we can still confirm that we are really meant for each other or..."

Jorge's lips parted in disbelief.

'Was he hearing those words from Miley? Was she not sure about having him in her life for the lifetime after incessantly bugging him for all those years?' he silently retorted.

Seeing Jorge's expression, Miley wanted to laugh out loud. She wanted to piss him off and make him regret his bones for making her wait for so long. She suppressed her laugh and added, "Let's wait a little more, Jorge. I suddenly realized that I want to enjoy freedom some more time. If we tell everything to father and bro Liam those two will be in a hurry for getting us married."

"But I thought that's what you wanted?" Jorge shuddered. He felt alarmed. He was aware Miley was being playful, but still he could not tell if she was serious or not with what she said just then. It was like she did not want to get married yet when he was ready for it.

"Let's enjoy our relationship first as boyfriend and girlfriend Jorge. Get to know each other more at this kind of level in a relationship." Miley explained because that was her intention as well. She and Jorge had known each other for years, since childhood.

However, they were not romantically involved during those times and Miley wanted to test their relationship at this point. They did not need to hurry into marriage since Jorge had already admitted his true feelings towards her. She already felt secured.

"I feel tricked." Jorge mumbled with his sulky expression.

Miley held Jorge's hand and said, "Why?"

"Now that you got what you wanted from me… I feel you've lost interest in me, earlier you're over possessive about me but that possessiveness seems to be lost now…" Jorge muttered with pouted lips and a crumpled face.

"Of course not…" Miley defended.

"Don't overthink about it and let's hurry and finish eating dinner now." Miley said and continued eating with a grin.

Inside the car going home, Jorge was still sulky.

They finally arrived home and Jorge parked the car. Miley looked at him and said, "Stop frowning now."

But Jorge ignored her, and he went out of the car and walked briskly after opening Miley's door.

"What the heck?" Miley mumbled as she followed Jorge inside.

"I'll go in first since you don't want to ignite any suspicion in their mind, right?" Jorge grunted and went inside the door.

Miley could no longer hide her mischievous grin while she silently followed Jorge. She looked around first before going towards his wing in the mansion.

When everything was cleared, Miley walked towards Jorge's room and entered it without knocking. Jorge was taking off his coat and was preparing for a shower.

"Miley? What are you doing here?" Jorge muttered, surprised to see Miley in his room.

Miley walked towards him and cupped his face with her hands. Then with a playful smile she said, "Why are you sulking when you already know how much I love you. Stop frowning… You look ugly like this."

Then Jorge felt Miley's lips on his. It was only a small peck, but her loving gesture made Jorge feel satisfied.

Yet he was still upset on the way she had been teasing him off late, so Jorge complained, "You should do better than that to keep me from frowning."

He pulled Miley from her waist and was about to kiss her when he heard his door buzzing. He and Miley looked at each other questioningly, then Miley panicked when she heard the opening of the door and she immediately ran inside Jorge's bathroom.

"Jorge… The helpers told me they saw you arrive and also Miley has come. But when I checked her room, she was not there." Senior Sy commented and sat comfortably on Jorge's couch.

"Hmm, maybe she's just taking a walk in the garden, father. Do you want some tea, father?" Jorge offered. Their father would often look for children whenever he felt lonely. He would check on his children if they have already arrived in their room almost every night.

Senior Sy sighed loudly before saying, "Yes son please. I feel really lonely whenever none of you kids join me for a single meal throughout the day."

Jorge chuckled and made some tea. He shook his head at the thought of Miley's discomfort, sitting inside the bathroom, not knowing how long his father would spend in his room that night.
