Legacy of the Betelgeuse

Chapter 229 - Episode 229: Another Date.



I wake up and in the morning and am on my way downstairs to eat breakfast, but then I hear a door opening from one of the rooms. I tilt my head to see which door is opening, but then Ivonna comes out while drinking a glass of water. She looks at me and waves at me, then she walks toward me with a big smile on her face.

"Are you going to eat breakfast?"

I nod.

"Yeah, you had your breakfast?"

Ivonna shakes her head.

"No, I just woke up and I\'m also planning to eat breakfast."

I\'m humming with understanding.

"Then, let\'s go."

Ivonna nods and we both go to the kitchen and ask the chef to make our breakfast and he nods while giving us thumbs up. He knows our favorite breakfast so we don\'t have to tell him anything and that\'s why he just giving us a thumbs up. I start to think to give him an extra payment since he\'s not serving one or two people anymore, not just him but I also should think about the maids and the servants as well since they have been working extra because of us. Maybe I should discuss about this to Sylvester and Andrea later.

We both are eating our breakfast, and Ivonna is busy with her phone. I look at her while drinking a glass of water.

"Are you worried about the situation in the game?"

Ivonna looks at me and shakes her head.

"Oh, no. Alessandro and Sigryd are taking care of the situation over there right now. They said they really want to be useful and they want to prove themselves as top 2 clans from the Alliance Kingdoms, so I guess I\'m not worried about anything at the moment."

Ivonna raises her eyebrows.

"What about you? Are you going to play today?"

I shake my head.

"No, I don\'t think I want to play today. I guess I need to take a break from playing today, and it\'s been a while for me to go outside to, I don\'t know, watch movies or drink coffee while watching people passing by, or anything else that requires me to go outside."

Ivonna smiles and looks around.

"Yeah, I kind of understand what you mean by that. This place has everything that we need and it makes me don\'t want to go outside as well, but there\'s something that I miss like going outside and seeing people."

I\'m eating my food while nodding in agreement.

"Wait, you said that today you\'re going to treat me to dinner, right?"

Ivonna\'s fork is stopping in front of her mouth, she then looks at me and nods.

"Yeah, I did say that, why?"

I smile and raise my eyebrows.

"How about we go on a date after we ate our breakfast? Maybe watch a movie, eat lunch, and drive around the city until evening then we go back here get a shower or bath, and after that, we can go out to eat dinner and spend the night enjoying the city from above?"

Ivonna raises her eyebrows while smiling.

"Oh? That sounds nice. Yeah, let\'s do that."

I chuckle and nod.

"Great!"

I hurriedly take a cold shower and dress neatly. I wear a navy blue long sleeve slim-fit shirt and khaki trousers while fixing my wristwatch in front of the mirror. I look at myself in the mirror and think if I\'m dressing fine or not, for some reason, it makes me quite nervous compared to when I went on a date with Chelsea. I shake my head and just be confident with myself.

I\'m waiting for Ivonna downstairs while buttoning my sleeve, then I can hear a footstep coming from upstairs, I look up and I see Ivonna in her navy blue a line dress. We both are looking at each other\'s outfits and we both chuckle while shaking our heads because we are matching our outfit\'s color. She walks down the stairs and I\'m waiting for her and offer my hand for her to hold it.

She grabs my hand and smiles.

"You have prepared for this? Because you look so fine and you even doing your hair."

I tilt my head while grabbing my hair.

"Do you not like it?"

Ivonna smiles while shaking her head.

"No, I kind of like it, but I still prefer your messy hair."

Ivonna is chuckling nervously and so I\'m messing my hair and fixing them like how I always did it. Ivonna is laughing quietly while looking at me with a big smile on her face. I\'m pointing my hand at her dress and raising my eyebrows.

"Well, this is a date and I think it\'s necessary for me to go all out. How about you? It seems that you have prepared yourself for this date as well."

Ivonna looks at her dress and smiles.

"I\'m the one who asked you out, so at least I should be prepared, right? Anyway, shall we go now?"

I nod and I keep holding her hand while we are leaving the mansion and enter one of my hypercar.

The sun is already down and we are back in the mansion to take a shower and continue our date in a restaurant that I already booked for tonight. We both had a pleasant date, we both were talking about the movie that we watched and then we went around the city while we were eating a burger and fries. We went to the park and had a walk there while we were waiting for lunch, and people were looking at us as if we were kind of a celebrity. After we had our lunch, we went to the beach to watch the sunset then we went back home.

This time I wear a black shirt and a dark grey slim fit blazer and trousers. Michael and the others are looking at me and they\'re just shaking their head with jealousy, I just scoff and shake my head while waving at them and leaving the room. I look at Ivonna\'s room but it seems that she\'s not ready yet and so I go downstairs and grab a drink because I\'m getting nervous again even though I was fine back then.

I hear noises coming from upstairs and then I see Emma, Francesca, and Grisell are walking down the stairs but then Emma is pointing at me and screams historically.

"God damn, Trev! You look so f*cking handsome holy sh*t!"

I look at her and just scoff and smirk, and then she pretends to faint and leans on Francesca\'s shoulder. Francesca laughs while shaking her head, and then Emma approaches me while looking at me from top to bottom.

"You\'re finally dressed up properly. It\'s been a while since the last time I saw you being like this. When was the last time you dressed neatly? Was it when you were still in your modeling career?"

I nod in agreement.

"Yeah, I think so too..."

I look upstairs and I see Ivonna in her white short lace high-neck long-sleeve sheath dress. Ivonna is kind of embarrassed and nervous at the same time while Chelsea is walking proudly next to her and smiling. I think she was the one choosing the dress, but then she looks at me and she crosses her arms.

"Wow, honestly? I\'m kind of jealous right now. Anyway, you two should get going now, have fun!"

Chelsea is pushing Ivonna\'s back so gently and I offer my hand again. She wraps her arms around mine and then we leave the mansion while the rest of them are watching us.

We are eating dinner in a different restaurant when I went out for a date with Chelsea. Ivonna is looking at the scenery outside and she told me that she already love this place even before we enter the restaurant. Ivonna looks around and she realizes that this place is already full of people and she can tell that those people are rich people in an instant.

Ivonna looks at me.

"This place is wow..."

I smile.

"I\'m glad you like it."

Ivonna leans forward.

"Is this where you brought Chessi on a date?"

I shake my head.

"No, it\'s a different restaurant but with the same view. You see that hill over there? That\'s where I brought her, and we are on a different hill. So, I want you to experience the same thing but at the same time I don\'t want to bring you to the same restaurant as her since I feel guilty if I did."

Ivonna scoffs and then chuckles.

"It\'s fine, you don\'t have to because I\'m curious about it but now that you told me it\'s the same scenery I\'m so pleased right now."

I nod with understanding.

"Anyway, what about Chelsea? Is she really alright with this?"

Ivonna smiles and shakes her head.

"Before I went downstairs back there, she told me that she was acting all along and she just want to make me feel jealous. She does interested in you, but she said that she wants me to be happy, and turns out she already know that I\'m interested in you when we were doing the quest to get Amruchi. She has planned everything and literally, she\'s trying to push me off the edge. I really don\'t know how could she do this..."

I chuckle and we start talking about other things.

We start to get comfortable with each other and she starts opening up and telling her story about her life and her painful memories with her ex. All of the stories are the same as what I heard from Chelsea. Since she\'s opening up with me, I should also do the same thing, so I tell her about my past with my ex. She\'s listening to my story and she looks very sad and worried about me, but I convince her that I\'m doing fine right now.

Hours of talking and we don\'t realize that it\'s already 11 P.M., and the restaurant is about to close so we leave the restaurant and go to the parking lot. She looks at the city below us with a big smile on her face. Her hair is gently getting blown by the wind and she looks cold and so I remove my blazer and put it on her. She looks at me and just smiles while keep looking back at the city.

We are not saying anything and just looking at the same thing, but then Ivonna looks at me.

"I don\'t want to go back yet."

I raise my eyebrows.

"Do you want to go somewhere else?"

Ivonna shakes her head and she then holds my hands while staring at me passionately. I immediately know what she means.

"Do you want to go and see my house?"

Ivonna smiles and slightly nods.

"Yeah, I would love that."
