Flocks of birds circled in the clear morning sky. Caraline had just woken up from her sleep. She stretched, walking towards the balcony. She crouched down when she saw Deric coming out of his residence. After the events of last night, she cursed the man into unconsciousness as she lay in bed."Deric has the nerve to refuse my offer." Caraline chuckled in annoyance. Her gaze followed where Deric was going. It looked like he was going to his usual workout spot.Caraline returned to her room. Once inside, she washed her face and changed into her workout clothes. She left the room, descending the stairs in a bit of a hurry. She had to meet Deric to ask him the reason behind her actions over the past few days of constantly hiding in his residence."You seem in a hurry, Caraline," said Catherine who was at the dining table. One hand was holding a cup of warm milk. Wilson, who was beside her, was silent as he enjoyed some bread."It's none of your business, Catherine," Caraline replied when

"I must admit that you have good taste in sports," complimented Wilson with both hands in his pants pockets."What if we bring a passenger?" suggested Deric, "We can also ask the maids and bodyguards in this house to be spectators. The winner's prize is still the same as yesterday's match. How about it?""I agree. So when do we start?""Alright, I'll prepare all the arrangements. We'll meet an hour later at that spot," Deric pointed at the spot where the two canoes were."Do as you please, but make sure you don't cheat because I will not hesitate to teach you until you feel death is a better option," Wilson threatened.Wilson tugged on Catherine's hand with some force, and soon the two left the scene.Caraline gave Deric a glance, taking a few steps forward to the side of the fence. "I'm not asking you to defend me. After all, I could have handled Catherine and Wilson without your help all these years."Caraline turned away, shaking her hair with a flat look. "When you think... where

"What are you doing here, Catherine?" asked Caraline in a hushed voice. There was anger in her tone."That's also what I have to ask you, Caraline," Catherine replied, "you must be following me?""Why would I follow someone like you? I'm... I'm checking on the state of this tree." Caraline fingered a nearby tree."You are a loudmouth." Catherine chuckled."So, what are you doing here, Catherine?" Caraline rolled her eyes. She hurriedly moved her hands away from the tree trunk for fear that a caterpillar or snake would suddenly appear."I-I... I'm checking the quality of the soil here," Catherine said as she tapped the ground. "I...have plans for my home garden.""You liar!" snapped Caraline, "weren't you with Wilson earlier? Why are you pointing your cell phone at Deric?""I should be asking you that, Caraline." Catherine clapped her hands together. "I was... filming the atmosphere around the lake. I was thinking of making a small lake at my house. You also pointed your phone at Deric

"Deric," Caraline and Catherine muttered simultaneously when they saw that the man in the wheelchair had disappeared. Both of them simultaneously removed their hands from the other's hair."You are as annoying as your cousin, Catherine." Caraline hurried away with wide strides. Her face was twisted in annoyance as she recalled her cousin's behavior just now. "How dare Catherine stroke Deric's belly in front of me. I've never done it before."Caraline snorted in annoyance, clenching her fists tightly. As a result of the fight with Catherine, her hair had turned like a sheep's wool. However, she paid no attention to it until the maids gave her a probing look. "What are you looking at?"The maids instantly looked down.Caraline clucked, climbed the stairs with hasty steps, and entered the room feeling extremely irritated. The image of Catherine stroking Deric's stomach bothered her."Catherine is impudent! How could she touch Deric without my permission? She's too much." Caraline walked

Cheers of support erupted as soon as the two canoes began to move forward. The maids at the edge of the lake shouted in unison, not once did they jump. The normally quiet residence became crowded because of the match. "I'll make sure you cry today, crippled man," Wilson said with a haughty smile, "and so will you, Caraline."Wilson clucked, exerting more power. He was in pole position. Catherine smiled slightly, giving Caraline a mocking look. "They're annoying." Caraline rolled her eyes, blowing her hair down. Her gaze suddenly fell on Deric who was rowing the canoe. The muscular bulge of his arms was hypnotizing, especially when his chest moved back and forth. "Calm down," said Deric who was focused on the match. "I-I don't care about this match." Caraline turned her face to the side. Even so, her gaze occasionally stole a glance at Deric. Damn it, those arm and chest muscles kept hypnotizing her to make the man in front of her the center of the scene. "Damn, Deric is so handsom

Caraline suddenly froze when she saw the maids staring at her. Her gaze immediately turned to the side. Her eyes suddenly rounded when she found herself in the crook of Deric's neck. The scent of the man's perfume was penetrating, lulling her into staying there for a few seconds.Caraline quickly stretched the distance. She stood up and prepared to land on the edge of the lake. However, the canoe was swaying left and right. "Oh my.""I'll hold your hand," Deric said."I-I... don't need that," Caraline replied. The first thing she did right now was to save her heated face and heart, then move away from Deric."Grace," Caraline called out.The head maid immediately approached. "Yes.""Hurry and help me." Caraline reached out, pulling Grace's hand away as one foot landed on the ground. Her gaze instantly scanned the surroundings, especially the maids who suddenly went silent as she moved away from the canoe. "What are you thinking about?"The maids instantly looked down, throwing glances

"What are you still doing here, huh?" asked Caraline as she looked at the maids and bodyguards one by one. "Back to work!"The maids and bodyguards quickly cleaned up their gear and dispersed. The lake area that had been bustling was suddenly silent. Deric also drove the wheelchair towards his residence, passing Caraline without saying anything."What did he just do to me? Isn't Deric supposed to thank me or something?" Caraline muttered with her eyes following where Deric's wheelchair went. She ruffled her waist as she tapped the grass with her right foot. "He is an insensitive man."Caraline rolled her eyes and cleared her throat loudly, hoping that Deric would turn to her. However, until a few seconds passed, the man continued to drive until his body disappeared behind the door of his residence.Caraline rounded her eyes wide as the door closed from the inside. Her hands reflexively dropped from her waist. "Deric has gone too far. I hope... I hope I can rest easy today."Caraline r

"You've got to be kidding me." Caraline rolled her eyes, got up from her seat, and walked out of the theater at a brisk pace."Do you have anything to do tonight?" asked Diego who was already beside Caraline, "I have a great place to go."Caraline let out a long breath, pausing to tuck her hair behind her ear. She had an appointment with Deric for a movie tonight, and she had been looking forward to it for a long time. "I... already have an agenda for tonight.""What... are you going to spend time with a guy?" Diego probed.Caraline continued walking until she was once again jostling with people in the shopping center. Her head was suddenly spinning at the sight of the crowd everywhere."Are you okay, Caraline?" asked Diego with a worried look."I didn't know you were such a chatty guy," Caraline replied."I wouldn't be if I didn't care." Diego laughed softly. "I'll take you to the hospital to get you checked out.""You're overreacting. I just have a headache from seeing too many peop

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

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
