Chapter 635: Being Myself

The next morning, Daryl woke up first and deliberately did not wake Kenzie up from her sleep. He smiled and gave her a gentle peck on her lips before he carefully moved out of bed. 

He controlled himself not to do more than just peck or he might end up disturbing Kenzie and she needed her sleep. She was still too sore and he wanted her to have a proper rest.

He was glowing when he greeted Kimmy in the kitchen, who sat chatting with the Chef.

"Good morning attorney Cha!" Kimmy greeted him with a teasing smile.

Daryl smiled at her greeting then turned towards the Chef and told him, "I will prepare Kenzie's brunch…"

Then he looked at Kimmy and said, "Can you please call Cris and ask her to talk to me about any company-related matters. Kenzie needs to rest. Today  we  plan to spend time with my father-in-law and father so she might not be able to report at the company…"

"Noted attorney Cha," Kimmy answered and quickly left the kitchen with a giddy smile. Her Boss Kenzie would surely be happy when she found out that her dearest husband had cooked brunch for her.

There was no doubt in Kimmy's mind that the two had enjoyed their first night together after seeing how sparkly attorney Cha's eyes were. He was glowing like the sun.

Meanwhile, Daryl busied himself cooking. As soon as Cris arrived, Daryl started discussing matters that he would like to handle on Kenzie's behalf. He also asked about important details pertaining to the legal matters and had a  telephonic discussion with Sarah and Cris about the same.

"Other papers that need her signature can wait until tomorrow, Sir," Cris informed Daryl.

"Alright, let her rest for now and spend time with the families. I will come with her to the office tomorrow," Daryl informed Cris before dismissing her. He called their head servant Meng and asked about his father's condition.

"Don't worry Daryl. I'm looking after Master Marius. He is very excited and asking for a lot of things to make sure that your room has everything for your wife's comfort. He is so excited that he keeps badgering the interior team to finish everything in a flash so you and your wife can move in immediately…" Meng informed Daryl with a smile.

"Alright, we will first visit Kenzie's father at the hospital then head home directly from there. We will have dinner with father," Daryl informed Meng before ending the call. He did not talk to his father as Meng informed him that he was talking to Harry and Karen.

Hours passed by and Daryl decided to do his work in the living area while checking on Kenzie every once in a while to see if she was awake. He knew that if he stayed inside Kenzie's room with her, he would surely end up waking her and exhausting her.  He thought it was a better idea to stay in the living area and do some work.

Kenzie was still sore from the last time they did it. She would never complain but would just accept him with arms wide open even if she was in discomfort. He had that cheeky smile when Kimmy approached him and informed him, "Boss is awake. She just texted me and asked if you had left already…"

Daryl stood up immediately and said, "Alright I'll bring her food. Tell her that…"

Kimmy nodded and Daryl walked to the kitchen and put everything he had prepared onto a tray to carry it into Kenzie. Soon he walked inside the bedroom but Kenzie was not on the bed. He looked at the closed bathroom door and smiled as he gently put the tray on the table.

Kenzie had taken a quick shower and had brushed her teeth as soon as she had woken up. She looked in the mirror as she dried her hair and pouted her lips as she touched the marks on her skin. She was covered with love bites and she felt sore in different places all over her body.

She put on her bathrobe and wrapped a towel around her hair before she went out of the bathroom.

"Good morning," Daryl greeted her cheerfully. He was sitting on the couch with her breakfast tray on the table.

"Come here and eat. I cooked you this brunch. It will help you with any hangover that you may be having," he said.

"Let me put on some clothes first," Kenzie mumbled with her lips pouted. She preferred waking up with Daryl by her side. She thought she could expect to do that in the following days. 

She was startled when Daryl suddenly pulled her onto his lap as she tried to walk past him.

"The food will get cold so eat first…" he whispered in her ear before he grabbed the bowl and spooned up some meat and soup to feed her himself.

"I can do it on my own," she whispered, her cheeks blushing. She wondered when, if ever, she would get used to this new Daryl who seemed to enjoy pampering her, when earlier he used to send her away or completely ignored her.

Ignoring her suggestion, Daryl signaled her to open her mouth, "Say ahh," he instructed.

Kenzie did as he asked and accepted his feeding, feeling rather dizzy on receiving Daryl's sweetness. She felt that her heart would soon jump out from her chest with too much happiness.

She unknowingly giggled thinking this could be the real Daryl with her now and she thought she had hit the jackpot if he continued to pamper her this way forever.

"Why are you giggling?" Daryl asked, seeing her smile alone.

"Nothing…" she answered while she cupped his face to give him a teasing kiss.

"Stop that. Let me feed you first so you'll be fully charged before I exhaust you later," she heard Daryl whisper shamelessly in her ear.

"Oh stop that! You're making my heart flutter!" she complained, making Daryl chuckle. He liked to see Kenzie blush. She looked so cute with those bashful pouts and smiles of hers.

"Am I going overboard? To be honest, I'm finally being myself with you. Don't you like it?" he asked, smiling. 

His face suddenly became serious as a worried look replaced his smile. 'What if Kenzie suddenly realized that she did not love him at all? What if she was just feeling competitive about getting him before and now she…'

'What am I thinking?!' Daryl scolded himself. He looked at Kenzie who was smiling as she stared at him.

"You're not going overboard. I actually want more of the same from you…" Kenzie answered, with a loving look in her eyes.
