Imperfect Husband 159
Caraline stiffened with rounded eyes. Deric's words just now continued to occupy her mind like the buzzing of bees. Her face quickly turned crimson, not because of the rage that boiled up, but because of the overwhelming feeling of shame. She had made the wrong assumption about the woman. Caraline quickly turned her head to the side, her eyes closed with her hands on her thighs. Gosh, she was so burning with jealousy that her mind was not normal. She was so embarrassed that she shivered when she remembered her childish behavior. Caraline cleared her throat, sipping her drink as she gazed out at the sea. She was suddenly relieved to know that the beautiful woman was Deric's mother. All she had to do now was go back to her normal behavior and pretend it was a dream. "Oh." Caraline could only respond with a short word. She did not know what to do now. "My mother has always loved the beach and the sea," Deric said, "whenever we go on vacation, she often takes me to play there. Building

Caraline and Deric soon entered the photo booth. "I sometimes die in front of the camera," Deric said. "It's the camera that would die if it took a picture of you," Caraline snapped while looking at the colorful ornaments in this place. Honestly, this was her first time visiting a photo booth. Back in school, she had only heard of her friends taking pictures with their friends or lovers. Although with the power and money she had now, Caraline could afford to buy dozens of these things, in reality, she was unfamiliar with almost all types of entertainment. Her busy work schedule prevented her from enjoying even the slightest bit of fun in this kind of environment. "That's a good joke," Deric said as he got ready. He looked at the small camera in front of him. "Get ready because it's going to take a picture of us." "What's going on?" asked Caraline in confusion. She took off her hat when Deric took off his hat. "Hey, I haven't." A flash of silvery light photographed them. "Oh my."

Caraline was shocked when she realized that Deric's face was in front of her. Her heart skipped a beat at the sight of the man's pink lips. This raised the possibility that Deric was about to kiss her.Caraline tried to stay calm even though her chest felt like it was bursting with fireworks. Her face was suddenly flushed from the pressure this situation created. She had been waiting for this to happen, but was it possible that she and Deric were going to kiss?Caraline suddenly closed her eyes as she felt Deric move closer to her face. She willed herself to calm down in the face of the momentous event that was about to take place tonight. If Deric asked for more than just a kiss, she would not be reluctant to give him one. She would be cursing herself constantly if the sudden fainting spell happened again.Caraline waited with her heart on the verge of bursting. However, for several seconds, nothing happened."What are you doing?" asked Deric.Caraline suddenly opened her eyes. She s

For the past few days, Caraline has been busy preparing for the launch of a new product in collaboration with Diego's company. She came home late at night. Surprisingly, the tiredness she felt instantly disappeared when she saw Deric welcoming her home. Her demeanor was still as gruff and cynical as ever, but she had no qualms about physically touching Deric or taking advantage of an opportunity.The sky was already yellowing as Caraline prepared to leave the office. She looked over to Helen's room where her assistant was busy with Lucy and a few other employees. She had left early so she could rest. As she exited the lobby, a car suddenly pulled up in front of her."Are you going home?" asked someone who suddenly appeared from the open window.Caraline rolled her eyes. Even though the man was wearing a hat and glasses, she knew it was Diego. "I don't want to spend all my time in this place. You don't want to see me in Moss, do you?""How about a walk around town?" Diego took off his

Caraline woke up as a gust of wind hit her body. The rain was pouring down hard. Her body, which was not wrapped in a blanket, immediately shivered from the cold. It was half past six in the morning. The sky was still not fully lit.Caraline decided to go back to sleep after setting the alarm. She went to bed and fell asleep as soon as her body lay on the mattress. She woke up again when she heard some annoying music. It was still six in the morning.Caraline made her way to the balcony. The rain had completely stopped. The sky was still dark. There was a sparkle of dew trapped on the leaves. The cold air immediately greeted her body when she was outside."Do you want to exercise with me?" asked Deric who was already in the courtyard below. He was already prepared in sweatpants and a thin sleeveless T-shirt. The curves of his body and the muscles of his hands were visible."What have you done?" Caraline asked back sarcastically. The woman was happy to see Deric again, but on the other

Caraline was stunned as soon as she heard it. Her mouth was half open, but not a single word came out of it. She didn't know what to answer at the moment, especially since Deric was looking at her directly. Perhaps Deric had started to suspect something?"I'd better hurry downstairs before the maids speculate on my presence here," Deric said as he opened the door. Shortly after, he walked out of the room.Caraline's legs were suddenly so jelly-like that they could no longer support her weight. She fell to the floor with tears in her eyes. Her fears about Deric finding out about the man who had run her over came rushing back into her thoughts and feelings.For the next few minutes, Caraline could only sit on the floor with various bad thoughts that seemed to kill her. After calming down a bit, the woman started to get up, sitting on the bed. Unexpectedly, time had already crawled quickly."Deric... was just asking about my sister," Caraline said, trying to compose herself, "and all I h

Caraline was suddenly silent when she heard these words. However, she immediately moved faster than before. "Why would I meet with them just to learn about your life? If I wanted to know, I would have asked you directly long ago. Besides, I already know that your life is miserable and boring.""You're right," Deric said.Caraline closed her eyes after saying that sentence. She could hear the disappointment in Deric's tone. She seemed to feel a deep pain when she saw Deric's current condition, and it was all because of her stupidity and negligence in the past."No offense," Caraline corrected, "your life is not as miserable now as it was when I first met you. I promised to make your life better. I-I will try to fulfill all your wishes.""My life did get better after meeting you. I experienced many things that I never imagined before. I guess I don't mind being in this state.""The moment you give up, it can be said that half of your life is dead." Although there was a tone of disapprov

"We'd better catch up with Doctor Tommy soon," Deric said."Don't boss me around." Caraline quickly caught up with Tommy, leaving Deric in her wake. Her face suddenly twisted as she recalled what had just happened. She was both hesitant and stupid at the same time.Caraline and Deric came out of Tommy's room half an hour later. During his time there, Deric had undergone some therapy to regain the use of his legs. He was asked to stand and walk by holding on to two metal bars on his right and left."I've instructed my subordinates to arrange all your needs during your therapy at home, and I'll be supervising you directly," Caraline said as she glanced at Deric.Caraline and Deric entered the elevator."That was helpful," Deric said, "do I have to become your slave again to thank you?""You are indeed my slave." Caraline snickered. Her cheeks were suddenly red as she suddenly recalled the events of that hot night with Deric. "So, you must follow all my orders.""That doesn't seem too di

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
