Lily had resigned herself to whatever happened in the future. Knowing that what she said earlier would have a bad impact, maybe. Didn't she also get rejected in her previous marriage? So now she did not need to expect more. That was what the woman with shoulder-length hair had in mind.
However, the reality was the opposite. Instead of listening to the scorn of her husband's family. Lily was surprised with a warm hug from her daughter-in-law.
"You must be very special, sweetheart," said Keenan's mommy, who was now smiling kindly. Inevitably, she rubbed her daughter-in-law's back. Then continued her sentence again, "What you have must have made him crazy."
"Mommy Keenan is right," said her son-in-law. "There is nothing wrong with your status."
 
"Charles likes to throw tantrums," complained Clara who was next to Lily. "That's bad. There might be a war soon." Lily, who heard these remarks, sighed heavily. She paid attention to everyone who was there. However, no one approached. Meanwhile, the grandfather who was already standing on the podium took a stand along with the male gymnastics instructor next to him. Lily couldn't help but step out of line. Of course to approach her husband. With hasty steps, she gently pulled Keenan's arm."What's wrong?" she whispered which only Keenan could hear.Her husband's cousin Charles gave a small grin. "Keenan has a temper. I wonder why you want to marry him.""Shut up or I'll break your neck, huh?" snapped Keenan who was about to get closer and grab Charles' neck. His eyes were already flashing with anger.
"Is that so?" Clara smiled wryly and nodded slowly. "All right. Have fun." As usual. When Keenan spoke, no one dared to contradict him or dictate to him. So he grew up to be a dominant person. Making him have a tough and unyielding character. His nature is good when faced with work matters that have competition everywhere. However, it's annoying in the eyes of people who just know her. Only her family and her assistant understood. One more. She was Lily, his current wife."We'll be back here again when dinner comes. So there's no need to bring anything." Keenan smiled briefly and waited for Lily at the doorway."What about the evening? We have to shower, right?""We can use the bathrobe in the hotel," Keenan said straightforwardly. Only then did Lily understand what her husband had in mind. Sh
Lily was silent for a while and then turned to Keenan. The two of them then stared at each other without saying a word. Making everyone curious. Until then she exhaled slowly and prepared to answer."Clara was right," Lily said which made them all gasp. "Keenan forced me to marry him.""Ah, forget it. I'm just joking, Sis. I swear." Clara started to get confused. She didn't expect Lily to answer like that."Do I regret it?" asked Lily as if she was saying that sentence to continue the explanation that had been delayed. "No, I don't. You know what? I have no regrets about being the wife of this wonderful man." Keenan, who had been frozen, was surprised when his hand was touched by Lily. She even hugged him tightly. In an instant, he felt very happy."Honey?""Yes. He who you all judge to be a strange and perhaps... annoying man became the person I love. Keenan has his way of expressing his sadness, happiness, jealousy, and rebellion." Lily continued the sentence whic
"Come on, darling.""I-yeah," Lily stammered. She turned to the two people. "Excuse us." Being treated so sweetly like that touched her. Lily smiled while looking at her hand that was still held by Keenan. It wasn't until they reached the parking lot that their hands were unlinked."Why, sweetheart?"Lily shook her head lightly. "Thank you, Keenan."Her husband's forehead immediately wrinkled. "For?""Yes. You wanted to introduce me to them earlier." Lily chuckled faintly then looked up afterwards. Those beautiful eyes looked teary. She recalled her ex-mother-in-law's frequent prohibitions against Adrian taking her to parties or banquets with business colleagues."You are my wife. That's what I'm supposed to do." Keenan then wrapped his arms around Lily's shoulders. Landing his lips on her crown for quite a while.
The high-pitched voice just now made Lily who was about to join in instantly stop her steps. She froze with her heart beating fast. Especially when she saw the flash of anger that appeared on Dimas' face. Only now did she see her former boss speak out loud?"Honey?" Keenan, who realized his wife's surprise, immediately got up from his seat. He inevitably threw a sharp warning look at Dimas and quickly approached Lily. "You better get ready now. I'm going to take you to the boutique soon.""I-yes," Lily replied, nodding slowly. She knew that her husband forbade her to do anything. Lily was not the only one. Even Keenan had given Jum the code to not let any servants pass by the living room. So now it was just her and Dimas who were there."I'm sorry," Dimas said with a smile. "I'm just disappointed bec
The smile lines that were originally painted on her beautiful face were now replaced with a look of shock. Lily tugged at the corners of her lips as she nodded slowly. While Keenan has now stroked the beautiful woman's right shoulder and then pecked briefly there."I'm sorry.""You're not wrong," muttered Lily who then turned to Adrian and Keenan in turn. Then she looked back to where she had been. "I can understand."Adrian smiled wryly. "Farel is already inside. He was welcomed by your new family." His voice began to sound hoarse. "It's so different from your family back then. And stupidly, I don't have any power to defend you and Farel.""Never mind. Let's not talk about unimportant memories anymore. Come in first." Keenan, who had been silent, finally opened his mouth. The sound of chatter
"Dimas, behave yourself! Don't provoke Keenan's emotions!" whispered Lisna, who quickly pinched the waist of the man beside her.Dimas chuckled. Especially when he saw Keenan's face start to turn red. "I was just kidding." He gave a quick blink and then quickly ran away with a happy heart because he always managed to prank his childhood friend. Meanwhile, Lily sighed softly and rubbed her husband's left arm."My husband is grumpy. Don't be like that. He'll get old quickly.""Your fault," Keenan said with a sour face. "You're very beautiful. So my competition is everywhere."Lily replied, "You too. Look at those women over there! Everyone looked envious. They're upset that this handsome man has a wife." Both of them chuckled and then returned to their standby positions to greet the other
"Keenan won't agree, darling." The words containing the meaning of rejection touched Lily's heart. She shook her head weakly and said, "Mommy said that he loves me a lot, right?" Her mother-in-law's quick nod made her say, "Let's prove it later." Breakfast this morning was completely different because it was the first time Lily served it to Keenan's family. She looked nervous as she saw the expressions on each of their faces as they tasted her cooking."How is it, isn't it delicious?" Mommy Keenan asked them. The grandfather as the most elderly person there then spooned Senfeier, a dish of boiled eggs doused with mustard sauce. Coupled with boiled potatoes that are finely mashed and sprinkled with plain peanuts on top."This is delicious. I like it," said the old man who resumed eating."Everything Lily cooked.""Amazing!" Now all the members' eyes were on Keenan's beautiful wife. Staring at her with admiration and pride
