The Billionaire's Genius Wife-Chapter 392 Rex’s First Date (2)
Soon, Rex's car arrived at the Starlight Peak Club.
The sprawling complex covered several acres, dominating the landscape of Starlight Mountain. It boasted a luxurious club with a wide range of amenities, including lavish villas and five-star hotels.
The club also featured an entertainment center, hosting several restaurants helmed by Michelin-starred chefs. Additionally, it offered an international golf course, horse racing, and numerous other facilities catering to the hobbies and interests of billionaires.
Although owned by the royal family, the Starlight Peak Club was professionally managed by a company headed by Allaistar Parker, Theodor's father, ensuring its seamless operation and impeccable service.
After a short drive, their car stopped at a restaurant near a cliff. This is a two-story building with many luxury cars parked in front of the restaurant.
Since they had arrived after dark, Casey couldn't fully see the beauty of the surroundings. 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭．𝑜𝘳𝘨
However, from the comfort of their VIP room, she could catch a glimpse of the stunning night view of the Royal City in the distance.
"Wow, the view from here is absolutely breathtaking..." She softly whispered as she stood by the glass wall.
After a few moments of spoiling her eyes with a mesmerizing sight, Casey turned her gaze toward Rex, standing beside her.
Casey secretly admired how handsome Rex was from the side. His height made her have to look up to see his face.
"Rex, thank you for bringing me here." She said,
"You like this place?" Rex turned to meet her captivating eyes.
She nodded, her smile widening. "Yes, I do. I hope the food is as delicious as the view!"
"I'm glad you like it," Rex replied with a smile.
Inwardly, he expresses his gratitude to Theodor for suggesting and arranging this place.
"For the food, I can assure you it will be delicious. Shall we place our order?" He asks.
...
"What do you think of the food?" Rex asked, observing Casey opposite him. She sat silently, enjoying her meal.
"The food is absolutely delicious, Rex!" Casey replied with satisfaction.
The dish they had ordered was a fine local cuisine—a grilled meat delicacy with a unique sauce resembling steak sauce but with a distinct and addictive flavor.
"Great, eat more. Casey, just for today, let go of your diet plan!" He spoke with a serious tone.
Casey nearly choked on her food in surprise. She quickly took a sip of water and glanced at him. "Well, Rex... I'm actually not following an extreme diet anymore."
Initially, when she started her career in the entertainment world, she was on a strict diet, but now she no longer does that. She will go on a diet if the film she is in requires her to change her body shape.
"Glad to hear that," Rex responded, then continued to savor his own meal.
They continued their meal in silence, savoring the taste and enjoying the serene atmosphere in the room.
While enjoying their meal, Casey's mind was consumed by deep thoughts.
She couldn't help but notice the change in Rex's attitude towards her since he had picked her up at the studio. He seemed much more gentle and affectionate, which left her pondering about their relationship.
It felt as if they had effortlessly transitioned from mere friends to something more, with no signs of being just casual couples.
This fact brought joy and sorrow to Casey's heart. Although she finds comfort in their current relationship dynamic, a constant desire for more begins growing within her.
She longed to express her true feelings and take their relationship to the next level, becoming a real couple.
However, fear gripped her each time she contemplated asking Rex to officially date.
The fear of potential rejection haunted her, as she couldn't bear the thought of being turned down by him for a second time. This fear held her back, preventing her from taking the leap and baring her heart to him.
'Dear God, can you make Rex like me too?' She silently prayed in her heart.
...
"Casey," Rex suddenly called out her name, causing her to slowly raise her head and meet his gaze. "Let's date," he continued. His words hung in the air.
Casey's calm expression couldn't hide the shock that overcame her.
"Let's date?" she repeated, almost unconsciously. Her eyes rapidly blinked as she stared back at him as if trying to confirm that what she heard was not a figment of her imagination.
As she has fantasized about this moment countless times, her mind blurs the line between reality and fantasy. The sudden turn of events left her momentarily disoriented, making it difficult for her thoughts to gather.
"Yes," Rex smiled, observing the rosy flush that adorned her beautiful face. "Casey Adams, would you be willing to be my woman?"
She swallowed hard, feeling terrified that this was just a dream.
'Be his woman? Did he actually say that?' She pinched her hand, hoping to convince herself again that this was real.
"Ouch!" she cried out in pain.
Rex chuckled softly. "Why are you hurting yourself?"
"R-Rex, are you serious?" Finally regaining her composure, she locked her gaze with his. "You're not playing a prank on me?"
"I'm serious. After a month apart, thoughts of you have haunted my every waking moment. Your face lingers in my mind, no matter what I do..." Rex couldn't help but express his feelings honestly, baring his soul to her.
Casey listened attentively to Rex's heartfelt explanation while attempting to calm her racing heart. She was overwhelmed by the confession from the man she loved, her emotions running high.
"After much thought, I flew here to meet you. And now, I'm asking you, will you be my woman?" His gentle voice held a captivating power, rendering Casey momentarily speechless.
But deep within her heart, pure bliss enveloped her, as if she were floating on cloud nine, knowing that this man returned her feelings. Her love for him was not unrequited but mutual.
'God! Thank you for answering my prayers so freaking fast!'
"Casey, can you give me an answer?" Rex asked once more, his voice filled with anticipation.
"Yes," she replied, her voice trembling with joy.
