"So why did you think something bad happened to me?" Crystal asked her stupid husband while walking in the park with him, hand in hand. Lily said he almost had a heart attack because she didn't pick up his calls. The whole day, she was busy shopping for those little girls, buying those balloons, reserving this whole place. And her phone was in the car.
Crystal pulled aback when Rayan stopped walking and threw a murderous glare at her. "You... You almost gave me a heart attack. I thought something happened to you because my dad is back and he wasn't picking up calls.." He said in a lower tone. Even thinking about that, makes his hands sweaty.
She titled her head in confusion. His dad is back. So what? He wasn't picking up calls. So what? "How are he and I connected? Did you think he'll do something?"
As Rayan nodded innocently, Crystal slapped on his forehead. "Lovesick man. He is your father. He isn't that bad. He was anxious when y
Rayan shoved his hands in pockets and tilted his head seeing Somin sitting in the living room, drinking coffee when he and Crystal came back. "Darling, I swear. I don't know why she is here. Anne said she wants to talk with me." He said when he felt Crystal was glaring at him.Crystal didn't say anything, she averted her eyes at Somin. Somin stopped drinking coffee and glanced at their entwined hands before standing up."Rayan. I want to talk with you." Somin said while coming to Rayan.Crystal came in front of Rayan, hiding him behind her. "Talk to me. He is my husband."Somin inhaled a sharp breath before looking at Crystal. "I'm not here to talk with you.""He and I. It's the same. Talk with me. I'm not going to let my husband talk with another woman. Not anymore. What's mine is mine." Rayan's lips parted hearing it from Crystal. What's mine is mine! It's the previous version of her. His eyes spa
Chapter Contains Mature ContentCrystal bit her lower lip and took a glance at his lips, then looked deep into his eyes. "Are you planning to kill me with this seductive side of yours?.." Her voice was smooth, sweet to hear.Rayan's gaze followed her lips when she stopped biting her lips. It has become red now. Then he stared at her heavy-lidded eyes. As their eyes met, his hand slowly loosened around her neck. He just realized they were so close, their lips were one inch apart. They could feel each other's breathing.He didn't move a single bit. "Does it work?" Saying that he slowly leaned closer to her, ignoring his fast heart pounding. Crystal's eyes grew wider when his lips captured hers. Her whole body started trembling in nervousness. She felt like her heart will jump out soon. The air between them warmed up by their sensation.Rayan took his hands on her face, cupping her face, bringing clo
"Doctor, are you leaving already?" Mickhel asked when he saw Dr Crystal coming out of the elevator. She looked tired but still pretty. Actually, she's gotten prettier after her wedding. Crystal came to the information desk where he was standing. "Yeah. I've got an invitation. Still, call me in emergency." Mickhel gave her a mischievous smile. "Or a date with your husband?" Crystal narrowed her gaze at him and handed him the files she was holding. "You better do your work." Mickhel heaved a deep sigh as glanced at the files. "Doctor you're too pretty to be this harass. I mean why can't you talk with me sweetly? You look prettier when you talk sweetly." "You're flirting with my wife again!" Hearing the voice Crystal sighed and Mickhel turned to look at the person. "Mr. Rayan Parker." He bowed. Rayan threw a glare at him before
"Witch, you're so good at it." Alex praised Crystal when Rayan and Crystal came to him from the dance floor.Crystal shook her head. "It's not me." She took a glance at her husband who was still staring at her with a meaningful smile on his face from behind. "He is good at it." She smiled.Alex sighed and turned to the waiter who was passing by them with a tray of drinks. He stopped the waiter and took a glass from it. "You guys are really something." He passed his gaze to Rayan. "Dude, your eyes don't hurt? You're staring at her from the time you guys started dancing, you didn't even blink once as if you'll not get another chance. I pity your eyes. It'll hurt. Let them take some rest." He took a sip of the drink while talking.Rayan finally stopped staring at his beautiful wife. He didn't think he'll be able to done staring at her in this life. She is getting breathtaking day by day. "You sound like you're jealous."
"Hey witch, please stop." Alex tried to stop Crystal who was drinking continuously one after another.Crystal blinked her eyes and gulped the alcohol which was burning in her throat. "They aren't back yet?"Alex took a glance at the washroom and sighed. Why did they go to the washroom together? What the hell are they doing? "He is coming here." He said as he saw Rayan coming out of the washroom alone. His expression was so much better than before.He came to them and his mouth dropped open as he saw Crystal drinking alcohol. "Crystal. It's alcohol." He widened his eyes and grip on the glass to take it away. But she was holding it tightly. If he pulls it hard, the glass can get broken and she can get hurt.He gave up and glared at Alex. "You little punk. Why did you let her drink?"Alex narrowed his eyes. "Didn't you see her strength just now? How can you ask me?"
Rayan slowly opened his eyes when he heard the sound of a giggle. He tried to move but couldn't because he was sleeping on the couch with Crystal.But who's that? His vision was still blurred, he blinked his eyes to clear vision. His lips parted as he saw his mother and daughter looking at them with a smile on their face. He tried to find something to say, but nothing came out."Good Morning, dad." It was Anne who giggled again. They must be curious about why were they sleeping here!He rolled his eyes at them. "Good Morning. Princess, Good morning, mom." He said with a loud tone, trying to wake Crystal up.Crystal's brows slightly furrowed as the loud voice rang in her ear. She hid her face in Rayan's neck. She is definitely going to regret this."Princess, go downstairs," Yolly said to Anne. Anne nodded obediently and left.As she left, Rayan took a glance
It was the second time, Rayan and Crystal laid their feet on abroad together. Though it's Venice of Italy this time, it reminded them of Paris. A lot of memories from the school trip started coming to their mind as soon as they came out of the plane. Their story began in Paris. And now they were here to start with another story. Anne! Their daughter.When Crystal asked Rayan Why did he choose Italy. He answered saying it's a new beginning of us. Really A New Beginning. Of Life. Of Happiness.Alex, Lily, and Nick came along with them. John couldn't make it because of his busy schedule. Rayan said Daniel will join them in the evening."Rayan. This one? This water bus?" Crystal couldn't believe she has to climb up on this bus. It's already rolling a lot! God! It's scary. What if it gets drowned?Seeing Crystal's expression, Everyone burst out laughing. She was nervous from the plane when Rayan said her it'll not be lik
Daniel was hugging Crystal like he missed her so much. Crystal was looking uncomfortable, shocked obviously. Nick wasn't shocked at all. He was anxious about Rayan's temperature. He wasn't reacting at all, looking calm. It's unusual.Rayan inhaled a deep breath and put his clenched hands inside his pockets. As Crystal glanced at him with a sorry look, Rayan blinked his eyes, assuring her with a it's okay look.Daniel pulled away from her and turned to Alex. "What's up, dude?" Then he smiled at Lily and squatted down in front of Anne. "Hi, beautiful."Anne grinned. "Hi, uncle. I'm Anne. You're Daniel uncle, right?"Daniel nodded. "But do I look like an uncle to you?" He pretended to look sad.Rayan forced himself to laugh. "Daniel.""Yeah.""You'll be okay with Alex and Nick in the same room? Or...""I'll be more than okay." Daniel cut his words off.
Dear diary, How long has it been? 13 years? No, to be exact it's 13 years 6 months and 4 days. I remember the first day we met in the canteen. A coincidence encounter brought us together and changed our life. We talked, we laughed, we fought. No, it was never a fight. I yelled at him. Because he never fights back. Whenever I get mad, he just smiles. Everything was going perfect between us. But one day a simple misunderstanding broke us apart. We cried. We suffered. And fate binds us together again. With our Unexpected Love: Anne. Everything just felt like yesterday. The day he was shot by the gun and was in the OT's bed in front of me. The day I was asking one day from him as my birthday present and he was ready to give me forever. The day when I decided to throw myself into his embrace again. The day when I let him slip the ring around my finger. That was the day when our happy love story be
Five years later.... (Trevi Fountain, Rome)"Aysha, don't run fast. Wait for me." Anne shouted from behind as she chasing her little sister.Little Aysha looked at her sister and smiled sweetly. "Anne, water." She pointed her tiny finger to the beautiful water fountain.Anne grasped her tiny hand and kneeled in front of her. "Yes. This is the Trevi fountain. Dad said most of the tourists will definitely come here to toss a coin."Aysha looked at her curiously. "Toss a coin?"Anne nodded. "According to the legend of Rome’s most famous fountain, the main reason for tossing coins into the Trevi is based on local lore that states doing so will bring you back to Rome again, someday."Aysha's eyes started shining, she looked back at her mother and father. "Mom, let's toss coins. I want to come back here again."Crystal smiled as she took out some coins from her purs
Six months later....Rayan was hugging Anne in his arm with Crystal snuggled close to him in a comfy swing at the balcony."When will the vacation end? I miss school so much." Anne pouted her lips sadly.Rayan looked down at his daughter with his gaze narrowed. "You miss school or you miss Kyungsoo?" He asked with a sour tone.Crystal laughed and hit his arm softly. "Stop being ridiculous.""But dad is right. I miss Kyungsoo." Anne smiled cheekily.Rayan let out a heavy sigh before he smiled. "You already like him so much?" He asked, looking at his daughter.Anne nodded and looked at his father. "I secretly called him with your phone yesterday. He was worried about me and gave me all the notes for the exam."Rayan scoffed with disbelief before he turned to Crystal. "That boy is really good at courting girls. He better be loyal and good to my girl or
Three months later...."Somin." Crystal gave her a smile when she entered her room. Her eyes dropped at her big stomach. "The baby is healthy?"Somin nodded and sat beside her on the bed. "Mom and baby both are healthy. What about you? Daniel said you have a fever."A deep sigh escaped Crystal's lips. "Even he knows that? Ah, Rayan! I'm totally fine, it's just because of the weather. And my husband is worried to death. He is really an annoying husband."Somin laughed. "He loves you a lot." She paused and put her hand on her hand. "He should. Who'll not love a woman like you? 8 years ago you fought with everything just to save his baby. I understand now because I'm pregnant. I wonder how did you survive alone."Crystal's lips curved with a soft smile. "Your husband has changed you a lot. I think you're in love with him already?"Somin nodded. "I'm." She then averted her gaze from her
1 month later in Hokkaido...."Ahh. Dad..." Anne screamed when her father threw a big piece of snowball towards her. She tried to stand up but the surface was so slippery and she fell on the snow again.Rayan laughed at her daughter's clumsiness as he ran towards her and held her hand to help her out. Instead of getting up, Anne pulled him down and Rayan fell on the snow beside her."You..." Rayan scowled. Anne giggled as she picked up a snowball and threw it to her father. Rayan quickly jerked to the side and avoided the snowball. He sat and pulled Anne into his arms and kept tickling her. Anne couldn't help but started laughing. "Dad. Haha. No. stop. Haha." Seeing her laughter, Rayan laughed.Crystal who was standing in front of the cottage porch laughed at them. "You kids better be careful, don't hurt yourself." She reminded them."Mom, come here and play with us." Anne shouted with a wide smile
When Crystal opened her eyes, she was already in the hospital bed. Rayan was sitting beside her. He looked so anxious still now. Her head wasn't spinning anymore. But she was feeling weak.Crystal pulled herself up in a sitting position and looked at Rayan. "Are you okay?" She asked Rayan with a soft voice. He didn't look good.Rayan didn't answer her, he cupped her face. "Are you okay? What happened to you?" He asked worriedly.Crystal averted her gaze from him to Yejin who was now standing beside the door. "Congratulations." She mouthed the word as her eyes met Crystal's and pulled Alex outside with her.Alex clenched his jaw when she closed her door. "What? Is she pregnant?"Yejin released his hand and nodded. "She is.""Do you think she'll be okay this time? She was so weak last time." Alex said worriedly.Yejin turned her head to him. "Are you still not over he
"Congratulations dude. The DNA matched. You're going to be a father." Rayan gave Daniel a friendly hug and patted on his back.Daniel grinned. "Thank you, dude." He was so happy when he saw the 100% matched result of the DNA test."I want an abortion."Hearing what Somin said just now, Everyone in the room turned their head to her, stunned. Daniel's face went pale, the smile on his face has vanished now. "Why?" He asked, shocked.Somin who was sitting on the hospital bed with her head resting on the headboard frowned. "Why? Am I crazy? Why do I keep your baby in my stomach and suffer?""The suffering is worth, Somin. Don't kill an innocent life." Crystal said as she entered the room."You're saying that because you have a baby with Rayan whom you love and he loves you too," Somin said while avoiding her gaze. She didn't know why she wasn't prepared to meet her gaze. "Can you two ple
"I didn't know my husband can sing too. His voice can beat any singer's voice. Why didn't he become a singer?" Crystal smiled as the dewy grass was cool against her barefoot, dark green and glossy, gently fluttering in the breeze.Rayan let out a soft and walked behind her in the grass. "His wife was the one who has made him fall in love with music. She used to give him a bundle of music's list." He remembered those days very clearly.Crystal stopped walking and took steps back to him. She snaked her arm around his arm and looked at him. "You're glowing so much today just like the sun." She put her palm on his face, bringing his face closer. She kissed his chin softly. "And so delicious."Rayan widened his eyes in surprise. "Madam. What's wrong with you today? So touched by today's surprise?" He leaned and kissed her lips.He was about to pull away when Crystal grabbed his hair and pulled him closer, kissing and suc
Crystal parked the car in front of the Han river park and took her phone from her purse before getting down from the car. It's still dark, and so cold. She wrapped her scarf around her and rolled her eyes around.The pathway was dense with rows of cherry blossom trees. The late winter breeze made her legs numb though it was quite refreshing with the touch of the pleasant smell of the trees and flowers. The place was so peaceful at this hour. Obviously, who will come here now?Her phone beeped. She opened the chat on her phone.From: RayanWalk straight and then turn your left.Crystal sighed, inhaling the cool spring air, the fresh scent of flowers passing through her lips and into her lungs.The petals were almost covering the ground in irregular clusters. There were street-lamps stood beside those trees, arching over the silvery road because of the fog, illuminating the way.
