Imperfect Husband 130
Helen turned to Lucy. She had never told Lucy about Deric. So, it was strange that Lucy would suddenly scream at the sight of Deric about to fall out of the wheelchair unless Lucy already knew the man.Caraline turned a questioning gaze on Helen. However, she realized that Helen was unlikely to do something she hadn't told her to do.Lucy was silent for a moment, immediately turning to Caraline and Helen. Her lips curled into a smile as if she had never done anything suspicious."Do... do you know that man?" probed Caraline."I just remembered my friend," Lucy replied with a calm expression, "my friend named Jacob has the same situation as that man, and we're close. So, when I saw that man about to fall, I just suddenly thought of him. I'm sorry if my words startled you.""Then where is your friend now?" Caraline studied Lucy closely."He... died a few months ago." Lucy glanced at Deric for a moment.Caraline let out a long breath. "Alright.""I'm fine!" Deric half shouted while wavin

Caraline returned to work after a well-earned rest at home. She had been in her office since eight in the morning. The woman was monitoring the news on the screen regarding the Presidennt of Universe Corporation and Henry Hulbert. After a few days of resting and staying away from phones and television, that topic was still being hot news among the public.Caraline turned up the volume when it showed amateur video of several men, one of whom was suspected to be Henry Hulbert, coming out of a building."Many people think that the alleged Henry Hulbert was with the President of Universe Corporation," the host said as she read the narration of the video, "but some people doubt that due to lack of evidence. This information has led to a debate among netizens."The host continued, "To date, Henry Hulbert has not provided any clarification."Caraline quickly ended the broadcast. During her recovery, she did not want her head to be spinning over something that did not affect her. "I wonder w

Caraline quickly carried the gift to the bed. The woman checked the gift carefully, scrutinizing every angle. As she was about to open it, she suddenly shook her head."No, I have to take a picture first." Caraline hugged the gift tightly, smiling at the phone. The woman took a few pictures in different styles, checking the results. "This is good. I'll print them out later."Caraline placed the phone on the nightstand with the screen facing her. She wanted to record the action of opening Deric's gift. "I'm ready."Caraline carefully unwrapped the gift. She was surprised to see a long box inside. "It's... an electric scooter."Caraline turned her head towards the balcony, opening the box, pulling out a sleek blue scooter from inside the box. "Deric is childish. Does he think I'll fit into this thing? He must be making it up."Caraline flipped the switch, hopped on the scooter, and speeding through the room from side to side. "This is... quite fun."Caraline kept the scooter moving for

"Do you agree?" Deric smiled, settling back into the wheelchair.Caraline was pleased with the proposal, especially when she heard the winner could ask for anything. She began to think about what she would ask Deric for as a prize. Would it be a hug, a kiss, or something more intimate than that?Caraline smiled widely, feeling a huge surge of energy throughout her body. Her body was suddenly excited at the thought of the gift. She wanted to jump up and down and scream with excitement. This thing was something that would spur her on and excite her."Fine, if you don't want to," Deric said."What do you say?" Caraline suddenly stood up. Her eyes darted to Deric. Her happy smile suddenly vanished as the man was about to cancel the race."You're so annoying!" snapped Caraline as she turned her back on Deric."I forgot that you're still recovering," Deric said as he moved the wheelchair forward.Caraline immediately turned around with an expression of disbelief. Her eyes were so wide they

"I won! I won!" shouted Caraline as she raised both hands. She turned to Deric and flashed a proud smile.Caraline was so wrapped up in her happy euphoria that she was oblivious to the road conditions."Watch out!" shouted Deric."You can't ...." Carlaine's voice suddenly disappeared when the scooter she was riding crashed into the bushes. The woman went through the bushes, rolled around, and stopped right next to the fence.For a few moment, Caraline could only lie on the ground with her mouth gaping and eyes bulging."Is lying down with the leaves fun?" asked Deric as he approached. His hand extended towards Caraline."Oh my," Caraline muttered as she hurriedly got up. A few leaves fell as she stood up. "Are you being sarcastic?"Deric pulled his hand back. "No, I'm not. I'm just asking.""I'm the winner, and you're the loser in this race. Remember that!""So, what am I supposed to do for you? Am I supposed to stay away and not bother you like you keep saying?" asked Deric."No!" Ca

Dinner went on without any conversation for some time. Caraline occasionally stole a glance at Deric, refocusing on the meal. The quiet atmosphere coupled with a dinner for two was enough to make the woman nervous. She wondered how this night would end. Would something happen that she wanted or would it be the other way around?"You seem to like my gift," Deric said, starting the conversation. The man sipped his drink for a moment, returning to enjoying the meal."Gift?" Caraline tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. Her cheeks were so flushed that she had to look down to cover them. "What gift are you referring to?""The earrings you're wearing right now," Deric said, "I've seen you wearing them several times.""Ah, this is ridiculous." Caraline rolled her eyeballs, blowing air. "I-I like the shape of it. That's all. Besides, wearing these earrings doesn't mean I like what you gave me. I'm not an ungrateful person.""Alright," said Deric who went back to eating."Don't say that annoy

Caraline froze instantly. Her hand accidentally dropped the remote. Did Deric possibly realize that the hugging action was intentional?"Stop talking nonsense." Caraline rolled her eyes, moving away from Deric. "Your brain needs to be cleansed of dirty thoughts. I-I did it by accident. What strange woman would want to hug you?""You," Deric replied casually.Caraline instantly glared. "What are you-""Didn't you ever ask permission to hug me?" Deric smiled.Caraline wanted to bury herself in the ground. The woman could feel her face ripen and almost explode. At the same time, she suddenly remembered the moment when she asked permission to hug Deric. "Oh my.""You can hug me anytime if you want," Deric said, "even in my sleeping state."Caraline suddenly looked up, straightening up. Her smile quickly grew. Was it possible that what Deric had just said was serious? If it was, she wouldn't hesitate to do it later that night."Stop saying stupid things." Caraline picked up the remote¸ and

Caraline stared at Deric's cell phone which kept ringing. The woman had forgotten that she was still on top of Deric. She guessed who was calling Deric from the photo on the screen."Can you get away from me for a moment?" asked Deric. When he found Caraline staring intently at her cell phone, the man quickly switched off the phone.Caraline walked away from Deric with an annoyed face. She had no problem staying on Deric's body all night, but that would arouse Deric's suspicion."W-what... are you doing to me?" Caraline let out a long breath, patting her clothes as if she had just gotten dirt on them.Deric was still lying in the wheelchair with his legs up. He was having some difficulty getting up. "Can I get a little help?"Caraline looked at Deric from head to toe. The man's position looked funny at the moment. Head down and legs up. Caraline tried not to laugh by turning around. She picked up her cell phone, taking a surreptitious picture of Deric."You'll have to beg me to help y

Jeremy, Jonathan, and James looked tense as they followed a bodyguard to the edge of the park. The crashing of the waves was a musical accompaniment to their racing hearts. The three men suddenly fell silent when they saw Deric with his back to them near the fence. Shortly afterward, the bodyguard chose to excuse himself. For a few seconds, there was only silence between the four men. Jeremy, Jonathan, and James exchanged glances with each other, confused as to what action they should take at this point. Should they say goodbye? Deric slowly turned around, smiling to greet his three half-brothers. He walked over, but Jeremy, Jonathan, and James did not move from their places or even turn their heads towards him. "I've been waiting for your arrival," Deric said. Jeremy, Jonathan, and James had not paid any attention to Deric's words. Their faces had not completely lifted either. "Didn't you miss me a lot, James?" asked Deric, "you even called me and sent me messages almost every da

All eyes were on Deric who had just recognized himself as the presiden of the number one company in the country. The atmosphere of the event was instantly silent, as were the people watching the news on television channels and the internet. Shortly afterward, the adoring admiration was met with thunderous applause."Oh my," said Helen, "isn't that Mr. Deric? How could this be possible? He can walk on both feet and right now he's in front of us."Helen turned to Caraline who was looking down with a smile on her face. When she realized something, Helen quickly controlled herself. She knew the reason behind Caraline's change over the past two weeks."Miss Caraline," Helen called with a bright smile. Despite the crack in her heart, she was happy to see Caraline now.Caraline was silent and didn't dare to raise her head at the moment. The praise and admiration directed at Deric made her even more terrified of losing him.On the other side, Diego and Wilson were watching the show on the scr

A week passed after Caraline met with Deric on the rooftop of the building. However, her happy smile never faded. Helen, Stevan, and the rest of the maids and guards couldn't understand her attitude. While Caraline had been saddened a few months ago, for the past week, she had been overwhelmed with happiness.Caraline visited an event organized by one of Universe Coporation's subsidiaries in a large park. Many famous officials and businessmen attended the event, including Henry Hulbert.Caraline couldn't sit still while watching Henry Hulbert perform on stage. Her eyes were often drawn to the surroundings. There was a good chance that Deric was also at this event, she thought.Caraline hadn't received any messages from Deric all week. She also deliberately did not contact him. If longing had been excruciating in the past, this longing had only intensified the love."Do you need something?" asked Helen, who was sitting next to Caraline's chair."Nothing." Caraline shook her head, turni

Caraline and Deric looked at each other for some time, lost in their feelings. The lights around the rooftop seemed to change color as time passed."I'm just afraid that you'll lose consciousness like last time," Deric said suddenly."What do you mean?" asked Caraline with flushed cheeks."You know, you suddenly passed out when we were about to do... 'it' in your room." Deric laughed, gently stroking Caraline's hair."Passed out?" Caraline raised one eyebrow. "Didn't we ever do that?""Not at all," Deric said, "you seemed to be so nervous that you passed out, especially since you didn't stop smiling during your sleep."Caraline suddenly turned her back on Deric, closing her eyes with a very red face. She was embarrassed when she heard that. So, all this time she had only dreamed about doing 'that' with Deric. "Don't talk to me anymore. I hate you.""I know if your heart says otherwise." Deric stood beside Caraline."No, I'm serious." Caraline turned her gaze to the other side. "You ar

Caraline's whole body shook even more when she saw Deric standing in front of her. She dropped her cell phone because she couldn't contain her shock. For a few moments, she could only hold her breath with an unblinking gaze.Caraline felt shocked on top of the shock. She had wanted Deric to walk again, but when she saw it firsthand, Caraline was left stunned and unable to do anything. Her lips half opened, but quickly closed again.Didn't Deric look perfect with his current appearance?Caraline pinched her left arm hard. She felt a great pain there. It signaled that she was in the real world. However, Caraline still felt lost in dreamland. Deric, who she thought was a man who had lost his dreams, was the mysterious figure that people wanted to know about. Deric was none other than the richest man in the country.Doesn't Deric look perfect in his current position?Caraline looked back as her feet hit the rooftop barrier. She was at the edge of the room and there was no turning back. Fo

"Deric."Caraline could only remain silent with wide-rounded eyes for some time. Her mouth was half open with a look of disbelief. All the images of her time with Deric instantly faded away, making her body almost collapse on the floor. Tears were rolling down her cheeks relentlessly.Caraline knew that she missed Deric more than anything. However, when he was in front of her right now, she could only stand still without being able to get closer or even hug him tightly.Time seemed to stop for Caraline. All the scenery around her suddenly turned black and white, except for Deric alone. At the same time, the world became eerily silent.Could this all be a delusion?Could it be that he was in a dream?Could it be that God had answered all her prayers and hopes?Caraline still couldn't quite believe what was happening. For months she had searched for Deric's whereabouts with everything she had, but nothing good had come of it. However, at this moment, Deric came to him alone on this roof
