Chapter 429
When Aubree and Bowen got to the movie theater, a long line had formed even though there was still plenty of time before the ticket check started. It was the weekend, and the movie was apparently pretty hyped. They’d bought couple’s tickets, and everyone else in line seemed to be paired up, too.
“You get in line. I’ll go and buy the popcorn,” Aubree said, her excitement showing. Back when she was in the orphanage, going to the movies was a luxury she could never afford. Even after Mr. Quinn started supporting her, she never wanted to spend money on something as seemingly pointless as coming to the theater to watch a movie.
She’d been back a couple of times after returning to the Wilson family, but her mood and feelings were never quite the same.
A smile flickered in Bowen’s eyes as he nodded, playing along. “At your service, Boss Aubree.”
Looking at the long line, he thought, I wonder how long Bree can hold out once the movie starts.
The couple’s theater had been specially decorated. Even though there was a bit of space between them, Aubree couldn’t help but feel her heart fluttering. Maybe it was just the atmosphere.
Aubree pressed a hand to her chest, noticing that some couples were already making out.
She lifted her eyelids and glanced at Bowen out of the corner of her eye. He looked completely at ease, sitting casually with his arm draped over the armrest, his long, elegant hand hanging down. Somehow, he made the theater seat feel like a boardroom
throne.
“What’s wrong?” he asked, turning his head and catching her red–handed as she snuck a peek.
“N… Nothing. The movie’s about to start,” she said.
Aubree sat up straight, hoping the movie would be as exciting as everyone online said. She had no idea just how wrong she was. By the time she walked out of the theater, she was kicking herself for her choice. Exciting? it was way too exciting!
The movie officially started as the lights dimmed.
The movie was known as a must–see for couples. It was a classic romance about a man and a woman falling in love.
It was a Hollywood film, and it didn’t take long for Aubree to realize why there was an age restriction. The scenes were a lot spicier than she expected.
However, everyone there was an adult, so a few suggestive scenes were no big deal.
Aubree hugged the popcorn bucket and shoved a piece into her mouth. Hope 1 can actually handle this,’ she told herself, a little uncertain.
With the movie heating up and that meaningful look Bowen had given her earlier, Aubree could pretty much guess what was happening around them. She wasn’t sure about the couples behind her, but in front, it was obvious even with the dim lights. Some people weren’t just kissing, they were already getting handsy.
Aubree quickly ducked her head, forcing herself to focus on the screen, munching on popcorn that suddenly tasted like nothing at all.
Bowen let out a low chuckle and shifted a bit, leaning so close that their arms brushed together. “Bree, how are you liking the movie so far?”
“It’s not bad,” she stammered, trying to sound casual. “It’s actually pretty good if you just look at the story.”
Aubree forced herself to act calm, but the scenes were getting steamier and steamier… Even if they didn’t actually show anything private, the breathy moans and all those suggestive moves made it pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain what the leads were up to.
She wanted to sink into her seat and disappear. ‘Oh god, I picked this movie. What if Bowen thinks I brought him here on purpose?‘ thought Aubree.
Desperate to distract herself from the awkwardness, Aubree shoved another piece of popcorn into her mouth. “Hey, do you think this movie is kind of… not your style? Maybe we could just… leave?”

“I think it’s pretty great,” Bowen said, turning toward her, fixing her with a heated stare.
