My Fiancée Hates Me

Chapter 44: Growing Affections

Charlotte's date plan was set for the very next day. It was incredibly fast for her to make up a complex

plan within a day. She must have spent all night coming up with the plan.

Upon Charlotte's coordination, I was made to lightly curl my hair and wear a braided headband style

with large white ribbons. My clothes consisted of a buttoned up white one-piece dress that rose above

my knees and had a ribbon necktie with a similar tie around my waist. I also wore maroon-colored

tights with a white diamond patterned and some white T-styled heels and a white cape with a white

fluffy fur pan collar.

I do not deny that it was a cute look. I just would have expected her to help me coordinate a more

mature look. Even the skirt barely passes by my bottom. I thought it was a bit short before I wore it.

With my figure as it is now, the skirt is seeming even shorter than before.

"Does this even count as semi-casual?" Garett asked.

I had arrived fifteen minutes before our meeting time in the town square. Garett arrived ten minutes

early as well.

He was wearing a more casual green suit and a black string necktie and had his long hair tied and

swept over one shoulder. The ends of his ponytail and bangs were slight curled, making his face more

visible.

I could not help but be slightly impressed by how more beautiful this man was with a few adjustments.

"I do not think this really counts as casual...Charlotte chose it for me, so I thought that I might as well

wear it."

"All of your clothes are rather fancy..."

"My clothes are mostly chosen by other people like my mother, Charlotte, and Maura. Most of the

clothes I choose allow more freedom of movement and are not really fashionable in a sense."

"...That explains the diversity."

"I think there was something we had to do upon meeting each other," I said as I took out the guide that

Charlotte wrote up.

Charlotte's Tasks!

1. Compliment her outfit!

"...You look fancy," Garett said awkwardly.

He already said that...

"Thank you. You look well-dressed today too," I said.

"What is the next task?" Garett asked as he leaned in towards my shoulder.

I was a bit surprised by the closeness of Garett.

He had gotten more than a head taller than me, so now he has to bend to look over my shoulders.

Charlotte's Tasks!

2. Hold hands at all times!

I held out my right hand.

"Shall we?" I asked Garett.

He took my hand with a slightly disgruntled face.

"Normally, the male is supposed to lead," he said as he laced his fingers with mine.

I slightly became frazzled from the immediate intimate style of hand holding he had chosen.

His hand is large as well...I had only held hands before with Erik. I cannot help my heart from racing a

bit even though I was the one to initiate it.

"...I think you are doing a fine job at leading," I whispered softly enough for him not to hear me.

Our destination was to Bunny-land the World of Fluffiness. Using a boat, we traveled to the mainland in

search of an amusement park.

"Dear Lord..." Garett said upon the entrance adorned with flowers and the numerous people wearing

bunny ears and tails. He seemed really shocked by how many things were bunny themed. "They have

created an amusement park surrounding animals that are able to feed on each other's defecate for

nutrients."

"Please do not say that in front of the children...This place is still a land of dreams for them," I pleaded.

"I just do not understand why it is that people like such small creatures."

"I guess it is because they are cute?"

"Cute? That is such a vague word woman often use to describe things that they like but are unable to

find the right words to explain why."

"I use the word when I find a living being acting in a way that I find endearing, so I must seem

superficial to you as well."

A young woman wearing a maid uniform with an apron and bunny ears approached us.

"Are you two seeking entrance?" the worker asked us. "If so, everyone must wear these things upon

entry."

In her basket, she had a set of bunny ears and tail in each individual bag.

The hurdle is too high, Charlotte!

"Damn that woman!" Garett screeched very angrily.

The worker place white bunny ears onto my head and added a cottontail to my clothes. It went perfectly

with my clothes.

A coincidence?

No, Charlotte knows everything...

Garett accepted black bunny ears and a matching tail on his long green suit jacket. I was a bit jealous

from how the color matching was spot on and molded into his natural hair.

He looked rather good. I felt saying it out loud would anger him, so I held my tongue.

"A requirement, my a..."

"I like it," I said as I adjusted my headband a little. "I think it is unique and interesting. Does it look good

on me?"

"It certainly suits you more than others," Garett said with slightly reddened cheeks.

He is fulfilling his tasks properly.

"Thank you," I replied to him with a smile.

Our next task was to find an eatery.

I ordered some bunny shaped pancakes, while Garett ordered a bunny shaped omelet over red rice.

"Everything is bunny themed...With us dressed as the same creatures, are they promoting

cannibalism?" Garett asked as he ate through his food.

"If we are lovers dressed up like bunnies, what are we promoting?" I asked.

Garett stopped functioning for a few minutes. His face soon went pale.

"...This is a scary park," he said.

I was hoping that he would loosen up from a joke...I soon realized that I do not have it in me to be a

humorous person.

Despite his mixed feelings, Garett seemed to like his food. His expression went as a mix between good

and bad intermittently. It was quite a sight to see. I almost wish there was a way to document the whole

experience.

Charlotte's Tasks!

3. Share a dessert!

"Share a dessert?" I said questionably in Garett's direction.

"According to that woman's task list, we have to eat some dessert together."

"Won't we seem penurious if we share a slice of cake?" I asked.

A waitress brought over a large parfait with at least twenty scoops of cream of six different colors and

whip cream on top.

"...I don't think we are supposed to share cake," Garett concluded.

"This is our special complimentary parfait for couples! If you finish the parfait within the allotted time

period, we will award you with these matching charms," the waitress said as she held up a pair of

stuffed teddy bears.

They were both handheld sizes and consisted of brown and almond colors with each having green

colored ribbons around their necks and having beautiful small black buttoned eyes.

I stared at them intensely because of how well made they were for their tiny size.

"Let's do this," Garett said as he handed me a spoon.

He seems more gung-ho about this than I thought. Maybe he really likes parfaits!

"Yes!" I answered him.

Even though it seemed like Garett did not have a sweet tooth, he was the most enthusiastic about

finishing the parfait.

We were a few more bites away before Garett gave up.

"The sweetness is starting to hurt me," Garett said as he dropped his head a few inches.

"I can take over for you," I said.

He soon lifted his head.

"This will be a group effort," he said as he took up his spoon and held it up towards me.

He is feeding me!

Even Erik has not done that with me yet...

I took up his help anyways and managed to finish the parfait with ease.

"I am so happy that we were able to get these," I said as I held up the small charms.

Garett smiled in my direction.

"It was worth the effort," he said as he walked in front of me.

...Could it be that he tried so hard for me?

I grabbed his hand.

"This was a group effort. I would like for you to have one," I said as I placed the almond-colored bear in

his hand.

Garett and I continued on with our list of tasks from Charlotte.

Charlotte's Tasks!

4. Pet the animals!

Garett and I found ourselves in the petting corner where we got to play with the bunnies.

Almost all the bunnies seemed attracted to Garett's presence from how they piled up on him.

"Aren't you popular?" I asked him with a smile.

"...I am not able to comprehend why people are able to enjoy the presence of feces eating rodent like

creatures," Garett said as he held one bunny up towards his face.

His eyebrows scrunched up as he gave an intense stare to the poor creature.

"...Please do not say that in front of the children..."

Despite his cold words, he pets all of the bunnies that came near him gently and equally. Occasionally,

I would see him sneak a smile here and there.

He does not truly detest them...

"They are not bad..."

Is he in awe about them?

"I see."

"Maybe we can train them enough to where they can do deliveries."

"Please don't...They would be open to too many predators in the wild."

Charlotte's Tasks!

5. Go shopping!

"What would you like to shop for?" Garett asked me.

"I would like another book," I answered honestly.

"We came here to avoid that..."

"That's right," I said, remembering our true purpose.

"I would find it a bit strange if there was a book in this place."

Garett pointed towards a stationary store.

"That is probably the next best thing," he said.

When we entered, we found that everything inside was bunny themed. Garett tried to keep his cool, but

I could tell his face was getting increasingly paler by the moment.

"You don't have to force yourself..."

"I am fine. I am just having a bit of difficulty asserting myself as a man in this situation," Garett said.

"Shall we quickly buy something and leave them?"

"You made an effort to come here. It would be a waste not to take your time just to appease me."

"Thank you," I told him.

I ended up buying a simple red dotted hair tie that had a bow that stood up like bunny ears.

Charlotte's Question!

6. Did you guys have fun? This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"It was alright," Garett answered.

"Likewise."

"I believe that this concludes all of our tasks for today," Garett said as we got back on the boat.

"It was fun. I hear that the amusement park has multiple themes throughout the year. One day, it may

even be capybara themed."

"Where do they distribute their old products then?"

"They distribute them through chain stores or keep them in storage the next time they want to use that

theme and repeat."

"I see...They can maximize profits that way," he said as he pondered deeply about it.

He soon leaned over the railing and watched as we made our distance from the mainland.

I lightly reached towards his bunny ears and pinched them. He suddenly turned towards me with a

surprised expression.

Our faces were suddenly in close proximity of each other.

"...Ah, I'm sorry."

Why did I apologize?

He suddenly touched his head and realized he was still wearing the bunny ears long after we had left

the amusement park. He plucked it from his head and began hanging his head low over the railing in

self-contempt.

"I wore this out..."

"I don't think anyone minded. There were many other people still wearing it long after leaving as well."

"Stay still," Garett ordered.

Both my wrists were suddenly taken by Garett. I felt his ever-large body slowly entrap me into his arms.

My heart was ever so racing when I had an inkling his head was just hanging over mine. I closed my

eyes as if I were bracing for something.

What is he doing?

He soon backed away from me with my bunny ears trapped between his teeth. I quickly touched my

head and saw that my headband was missing.

He had taken my headband off with his teeth!

"...What was that for?" I asked as I defensively protected my head for some reason.

Garett took out a paper from his pocket and showed it to me.

Charlotte's Secret Mission!
