the
restaurant and stir fried rice and potato salad. He placed a table in
front of the fireplace in the living room and they ate there.
    “I
buried myself in work because I wanted to fill the void that was
inside me.” Rosa started as he came back to the table after
cleaning up the table. He refused to allow her to do anything and
this time she was not going to override him on that. “The
relationships I had been in was disappointing and I am not blaming
the guys because I think I had something to do with it as well. I was
so determined to make something of myself that I did not have time to
build a relationship and when it did not work out I told myself that
I had tried and left it at that. For the first time in my life, I
don’t care that much about my ambition and it’s because
of you, I love you and I never thought it possible to love someone so
much. It’s kinda scary,” she admitted with a slight
laugh. “But it’s a good scary.”
    He had
removed the table and they were stretched out on the soft rug in
front of the fire and she was propped up against him as he held her
close. “I dated a lot of women,” he told her
contemplatively. “Because I wanted to defy tradition and my
parents and because I told myself I wanted no part of an arranged
marriage. I wanted something, more than what I see my parents had. I
told myself that there had to be more and I was right,” he
rested his head on top of hers. “When I met you I knew that I
had found that something special I had been searching for and instead
of wanting the lifestyle I grew up with I knew I wanted only you.”
    She
turned her head to look up at him. “You don’t miss having
all that money at your disposal?” she asked him curiously, his
words touching her very core.
    “I
was always conscious that it was my parent’ money and it was
never mine,” he admitted, kissing her forehead tenderly. “I
enjoyed the benefit of it for a long time but I always wanted to do
something for myself. So my darling wife, no I don’t miss it. I
have everything I will ever need right here.”
    Rosa
felt the tears blur her eyes and she blinked them back. “So do
I, “she told him huskily, settling back against him, his arms
tightening around her waist. “When I first saw you I thought to
myself that this guy was way too handsome to be interested in a
relationship, and what was more, Hayley told me you were a
billionaire and used to dating all those wealthy debutantes.”
    “Is
that so?” he said in amusement. “I saw you across the
room and you bowled me over with your beauty and I knew that was it
for me.”
    She
sighed with happiness and closed her hands over his around her waist.
She told him about her dad and how they'd had to go without a lot of
things but she had not minded because the home was a very happy one.
“He used to sing to me at nights, “she reminisced.
    “This
will be a very happy home as well my darling,” John promised
her huskily, lifting her face to kiss her lips tenderly.

    The
restaurant was up and running and it was as if the owners had not
changed. They had changed the name to ‘ Chicken and Chinese
Delight’ , a combination of his culture and hers and it was
working. He was true to his word because he was there every day with
her; sharing the responsibilities. Rosa had thought it would be weird
with him there but she was actually glad he was, because with his
input they were making great strides. Mondays and Fridays were
‘Chinese' days and only Chinese dishes were served. He had
gotten all his friends and acquaintances to come to the restaurant in
support of that and it had actually been a great success. He helped
in the kitchen those days but they had also hired a Chinese chef who
Alfonso had first resented but now they were adjusting to each other.
    The
office had been expanded to accommodate both of them and he had
placed a bigger desk inside the room where they both worked together,
although he handled most of the
