Imperfect Husband 254 (End)
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

"We've found the man you're looking for, Miss," said a bespectacled woman who had entered a room.Hearing the news, a beautiful woman wearing a crimson dress stood up. Her clothes matched her bright white skin and made her look perfect."So can we go now, Helen?" asked Caraline as she stood up from the couch. The CEO of Mimiline Group walked outside the room with big strides.Helen followed Caraline. "Of course, Miss. I have prepared for all the necessary needs. So we can leave anytime."Helen opened the door and let Caroline out first. "The identity of the man seems to have been omitted on purpose. That's why we've had difficulty finding the man's whereabouts all this time.The elevator door opened. Caraline and Helen rushed inside."The man is currently living in Springtown with the Aberald family.""The Abelard Family?" Caraline asked.Helen nodded. "The Abelard family owns a textile and culinary company. Their company is on the brink of bankruptcy right now. But the man you are lo

"I want him to marry me tomorrow."The words slipped smoothly from Caraline's mouth like a hot air balloon reaching freedom by flying into the sky after being gripped by the fingers of a child. On the other hand, the woman was not entirely calm after saying so. She felt indecisive and fearful at the same time. The three men in front of her would probably think she was crazy for saying that."Which one of you is Jacob Aberald?" repeated Caraline.Caraline hated mention of his man’s name. Although she had never met him, she assumed that the man had imprisoned her in an infuriating fate for the past five years, and possibly for years to come.On the other hand, as the leader of the Aberald family, Jeremy did not intend to behave disrespectfully by letting a wealthy woman like Caraline repeat her question twice. It was just that his focus was more on digesting her words. As he looked at his two younger brothers, Jeremy also felt that Jonathan and James were feeling the same way.Jacob Ab

Caraline felt like she was being punished by fate when she found out that the man she's been looking for all this time is a man in a wheelchair. Oh, God, Caraline felt like swapping roles with the vase on the table. Caraline greedily inhaled oxygen. She seemed unwilling to let the man named Jacob take away her air. Her hands unconsciously squeezed the hem of her skirt. Caraline was completely shocked by this fact. God, what are you really up to? Caraline thought. "I know this is very hard for you, Miss," Jeremy said with a smile. He cheered inwardly with satisfaction. This was payback for Caraline's insolent behavior. "We warned you from the start." "We'll be happy to shoo this scum away for you, Miss," Jonathan said, "or if you wish, we can beat him unconscious." "I'll be very supportive if you choose the second option." James chimed in. "I will gladly do so." Caraline was still on the couch. She needed a little extra time to digest this. She wanted to be angry now that all her

"Tell me," Caraline said as she sat back down. Her arms were crossed over her chest, and her lips were curled in a sardonic smile. Oh come on, she was so giddy and depressed that she had forgotten that anyone would do the same."What do you want?" Caraline crossed her legs. She could guess that Deric's requirements were not far from money. After all, this was a good opportunity for the deformed man to reap the benefits. Other than misfortune and humiliation, the man had nothing left, did he?"Miss Caraline, please don't listen to that disabled man," Jeremy said. "I truly apologize for his impudence. You can—""Shut up!" interrupted Caraline, "I don't want to hear anything more from your mouth."Jeremy's jaw suddenly hardened as soon as he heard it. His offer was completely ignored."I have only one condition, Miss," Deric said, "my brother's company is currently on the verge of bankruptcy. It will take at least ten million dollars to stabilize the company."Right after Deric said so,

Caraline had not been well since her return from the Aberald residence. For most of the afternoon, she locked herself away in her office, not wanting to be disturbed by anyone. All she did was sit in front of her computer and drift off into a daydream. Caraline couldn't concentrate on work at all. Therefore, everything related to the company was left to Helen.At over eight in the evening, Caraline was still in her office. She was occasionally massaging her head, which was very dizzy. It wasn't because of her crazy actions today, but because her stomach hadn't been filled since noon. Just as Caraline was about to call Helen, her assistant appeared at the door."Miss Caraline, I brought you dinner." Helen placed a tray with a bowl of hot chicken soup and a glass of water on the table.Caraline, who was standing in front of the window, instantly turned around. Her gaze was immediately drawn to the food on the table. "I didn't know you could read my mind, Helen."Helen took a few steps b

Deric's body landed on the ground unpreventably. The man tried to get up by focusing strength on both hands. "Don't worry, I'm fine.""No one wants that from you, Trash," Jonathan said without any guilt.Deric's face stuck to the ground again as his hands failed to lift his body. Even so, he did not give up trying the same thing over and over again. This was no big deal to him. He had already experienced more severe bullying than just being kicked off the terrace and ending up kissing the ground.Jonathan and James once tied him to the big tree behind the house overnight. The two brothers forbade anyone to untie him. Only in the morning, did they let Deric leave with a limp body after a fit of giggles.Not only that, a few months ago, when the Aberald family received an invitation from a business partner, Jeremy suddenly invited him to join. However, while on the way, Deric was suddenly forcibly dropped off in the middle of the highway without phone and money. When he returned home, i

Throughout the night, Caraline couldn't sleep because she was trapped in her thoughts. Watching a movie, taking a walk in the backyard, and finishing a few books all failed to induce drowsiness. It wasn't until the clock struck 4 am that she fell asleep on the sofa and woke up to sunlight.Caraline shook out her hair that was left loose. She was sitting in her study with a cup of tea and a few slices of cake. When there was a knock on the door, Caraline took a deep breath and let it out slowly."Miss Caraline," said Helen, who had just entered the room, "the preparations are almost complete.""Almost?" Caraline set the teacup down on the table. Her eyebrows knitted slightly. "Is there a problem, Helen?"Helen shook her head, then smiled. "The thing that keeps these preparations from being completed is the arrival of the groom and... the bride in her wedding dress." "What about security, Helen?""We have put a super tight cordon around Mililine Tower 2, Ms. Caroline. We have made sure

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
