The Law of Attraction

Chapter 364: The Gift

Luo still felt sulky because of the dream she had, so much so that her face still looked disappointed, even at work.

Lana noticed it since Luo was in her office.

"Hmm, are you alright?" Lana asked, seeing Luo frowning every now and then. She could sense that something was bugging Luo.

Luo released a frustrated sigh and mumbled, "I just had an irritating dream."

Then she told Lana what happened and about how she got pranked by her own dream.

Lana burst out in a fit of laughter after hearing out that it was only a dream.

Luo pouted her lips and mumbled, "Stop laughing. It\'s embarrassing…"

"Oh, I\'m sorry I can\'t help it sis. Who knows? It could be a good sign though. Noah will probably tell it to you soon. In person" Lana snorted as she tried to control her laughter, seeing how sulky Luo was.

If she was in Luo\'s shoes, she would get irritated too with that kind of a dream, where you feel like it was already true but ended up realizing it was not. Such disappointment was really annoying.

"I told him I love him and his answer was nothing. He hasn\'t even called since then. What if he did not like it?" Luo mumbled.

"Nah don\'t think too much. I\'m sure he likes it. Who wouldn\'t want to get loved? Maybe he just doesn\'t know how to react yet. You said Noah already told you that he has a problem expressing himself right? I bet he\'s encountering the same problem now and he did not know how to handle it." Lana commented, voicing out her point of view.

Luo exhaled another sigh of frustration and said, "Yeah I know… I\'m willing to wait. Just that the dream I had is so annoying. Or maybe it is because I\'m hoping Noah would actually do something like that, and that is why I ended up dreaming about it.

Geez! I should remind myself not to expect anything in return. Besides that\'s what true love means… Giving without expecting anything in return…"

"That\'s the spirit. I believe you will soon get there…" Lana encouraged.

After some time, Luo finally received a call from Noah.

"What time are you going back home?" He casually asked from the other end of the line like nothing happened.

Luo was about to leave the office and felt grumpy with Noah ignoring her \'I love you\' and now talking like he did not hear a thing last night.

"I\'m going home now, why?!" She mumbled, trying her best not to sound irritated.

"I\'m already home. Take care on your way and drive carefully." She heard Noah say before the call ended.

"Such a cold brute!" She whimpered. She said she was willing to wait but then she was the only human who somehow felt annoyed because she could still not hear Noah say the words she was longing to hear.

"How long do I need to wait for him to feel the same way as I do?" She continued complaining alone as soon as she was inside her car. She was on her monthly menstrual period so was having a sudden mood swing.

Even having her period was a disappointment for her because it meant that she was not pregnant.

Luo soon arrived home. She saw Noah sitting in the living room watching the news.

"Oh you\'re here… I made us some dinner. Let\'s eat." He said, smiling as he turned off the television and held her hand to walk inside the dining area.

"You can cook?" Luo asked, looking at the dishes. She handled the kitchen as soon as she arrived at Noah\'s home so it would be the first time that Noah cooked something for her.

Noah chuckled as he grabbed the seat for her while he proudly said, "Of course. I lived alone Luo, before you came. So I learnt how to cook. Try it and I\'m sure you will forget your name once you have a taste of my cooking."

Luo\'s annoyance was very easily diminished with that simple gesture from her husband. She quickly tried the food and her eyes rounded as she got to taste first the beef stir fry he made.

"Oh! it tastes good." She exclaimed as she ate heartily. Noah only observed her with a smile on his face.

He loved watching her eat like there was no tomorrow but then he reminded her, "slow down or you will get indigestion."

"Aren\'t you going to eat?" Luo asked when she noticed Noah was just staring and watching her keenly.

Her face blushed hard.

"I\'m feeling so full already just watching you eat, baby. Go and continue, eat some more. I will also eat now. Soon they both finished eating and Luo felt so full. Noah told her to go to their room first since he got her some presents.

Luo excitedly walked inside the room and saw the paper bags and quickly opened them. There was a lot of branded stuff in there, like clothes, bags and shoes.

"Is he bribing me now?" She mumbled, because gifts were not satisfying until she caught a small box inside the small paper bag. There was a note with it.

She looked at it and saw Noah\'s handwriting on it saying:

[Baby… I don\'t know why but I\'m not good with words and expressing myself but I hope my actions will be enough for you to feel how much you mean to me. I hope you will like this gift that comes from my heart… Something that I sincerely wanna tell you in words as well…]

Luo scoffed and mumbled with a squeal, "Geez why can\'t he just say this to me now in person?"

She was feeling giddy and excited as she quickly opened the gift box after reading his note.

She saw a beautiful necklace shining inside the box, but what caught her attention was the pendant attached to it with letter words in an extremely pretty calligraphy design carving, \'I LOVE YOU MY WIFE".

Luo blinked several times, making sure she was reading what was written in the pendant correctly.

"I love you, my wife," she even read it out loud. Her heart stopped beating and when she turned around Noah was already there with a smile on his face as he said, "Sorry… I lack creativity…"

Luo\'s eyes welled with tears and she could no longer control her emotions as she started crying and pounced at him, hitting his chest as she complained, "you\'re making me cry."

Noah chuckled and cupped her face then whispered to her what was written on the pendant, "I love you, my wife."
