Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

Chapter 156 - Jeweler And Husband



She did not miss the excitement in his voice and she immediately felt guilty. "I was only joking." She agreed to go with Eric.

"Really?" Liam asked with an unhappy voice. "I don't care if you are joking or not. I will go with you," he said firmly not offering her any room for escape.

"You are joking, right? I have a date already."

"I don't care. I will pick you up by nine o'clock," he told her before leaving.

She looked back at him to argue and refuse but he was already gone.

About half an hour before the time Liam said he was going to come to pick her up, she decided to call to Eric. He picked her call immediately.

"Hello," she said in a low guilty voice.

"Hello, I was just about to call you. I don't think we can go together again. I decided to help Debby. Her date bailed out and she called me," Eric began explaining in a very hasty voice.

"What? You . . ." she began but she felt a hand take the phone from her and she could only pause shocked. She looked at the intruder and glared at him in displeasure. "You made my friend betray me, right?" Rose accused slightly pushing him aside as she walked to the drawers to choose a bracelet.

"I did not make him betray you. You actually betrayed me first. You are not expected to take your best friend with you as a date. That is wrong. I don't mind you two being friends but going to the ball as a couple, as you future legal husband, I have every right to stop that from happening," he explained in a very firm voice.

The firmness in his voice made it sound really sexy and deeper than it used to be. She gulped. She never knew a guy acting possessive could actually make him look sexy especially when Liam was already overflowing with sexiness.

Drowned in his sexiness and muscularity, she found her lips tightly shut and she did not argue. She picked the bracelet she wanted to wear that night. It was a very small intertwined gold and silver bracelet.

Just before she could choose her necklace, she felt Liam's large tough palm around hers as he stopped her. She looked at him with the scent of his male expensive cologne filling her nose and she gulped once again. "I brought something for you," he told her his lips so close to her ear.

The warm air he blew on her as he spoke, made her shiver visibly and she quickly took a step away from him but he was quick to hold her hand and pulled her close to him. She gasped and glared at him.

"Check this out," he told her handing over a black box to her with his free hand.

She wriggled her wrist off his grip and collected the gift from him before moving away to create a safe distance between the two of them. She opened the box to reveal a gold necklace with a black diamond pendant that was carved into a very gorgeous heart shape.

"Do you like it?" he asked anticipating her reply.

"I don't hate it," she replied despite how much she wanted to tell him how beautiful it was.

"I am glad you don't hate it," Liam said understanding very well that that simple compliment carried all the heartfelt praise she was bottling up in her heart for reasons he was yet to know and hopes to know soon enough. "Let me help you put it on."

Without hesitating, Rose turned her back to him and waited after giving the box back to him. She liked the diamond pendant. It was the most beautiful diamond carving she has seen ever since she left the palace. It was the just the perfect jewelry for her elegant black glittering gown. "How did you know it was going to look good on my gown?" she asked while waiting.

"I saw your dress long before you saw it," he replied truthfully.

She turned to look at him with a slight frown. "Did Eric show you my dress?" She had to ask.

"He does not need to show me in order for me to see it. I saw the dress and hurriedly designed this jewelry for the dress," he told her sincerely.

"You designed it?" she asked in disbelief. She never knew he had such a talent. "I never knew you were a Jeweler," she said her eyes shining in obvious admiration.

"I am not a jeweler. I do it as a hobby. Sometimes I design it and have a jeweler make it for me. Like the phone case. I designed it based on a design I saw and had a jeweler make it since I was too busy to do it myself," he narrated with an obvious trace of pride. He was proud that she liked it and the look he saw in her beautiful hazel eyes was priceless.

"I guess, I will leave my jewelry making to my very talented husband," she told him with a smile that will simply lock him in and make him do what she wants without complaint.

It was Liam's turn to gulp as he told himself not to get overly excited because she called him her husband. "I don't mind designing your jewelries. They will be made just for you with no other one in the whole wide world," he promised her.

Rose nodded with her rare genuine smile brightening up her unrivaled beautiful face. He noticed the dimples that she seemed lost the night her mother died.

He wanted to compliment her dimples but he stopped just before the words escaped his lips because he knew she was going to become self conscious and take away her smile and that was the last thing he wanted.

He was surprised that she actually believed that he designed everything because Rose always seems to not believe anything he says. That was the biggest progress they made in their relationship.

"We are already late," Rose suddenly said. The amount of warmth she saw and noticed in his grey eyes was too much to be real, it reminded her to get out of her Dreamworld before she gets lost in it.
