MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #147 It's The Day
“What does that even mean? He’s so stupid!" Gia complained.Commenting on movie absurdity was probably one of Gia’s bad habits. Rose had reprimanded her countless times, but it never worked. Gia would curse in frustration whenever the movie she watched didn’t go how she wanted. Naturally, her outbursts annoyed anyone watching with her.“You shouldn’t call people stupid,” Matteo scolded.The two of them spent a relaxing morning in the pavilion, watching a movie with popcorn. Since Raven hadn’t returned yet, it was Matteo’s turn to keep Gia company.“Stupid isn’t a curse word. I’m just calling it as it is. It’s not an insult.”Her absurd response was just a way to justify herself. Raven would have laughed at her defense, but since Matteo was with her instead, he only nodded understanding before returning to the TV. His focus didn’t last long, though. Slowly, his gaze turned vacant as his thoughts drifted elsewhere, leaving his body behind.“You don’t seem to be enjoying this,” Gia said,

After the panic that left Raven’s mind blank, they spent the rest of the trip in a calmer state.The journey to the hospital was relatively uneventful. Matteo drove while Raven sat in the backseat with Gia. Throughout the ride, Raven never let go of Gia’s hand.Gia’s grip left red marks on Raven’s hand as she squeezed tightly every time a contraction hit. The contractions grew more frequent as time went on.Matteo carefully pulled up to the emergency room entrance, where Vero was waiting with a wheelchair. Matteo had called her before they left.“They must be eager to see the world,” Vero said as Gia stepped out of the car.“I was hoping they’d inherit some patience,” Gia replied.Raven forced a smile despite his pale face. He was far calmer now. “I was hoping for the same. I don’t want them to end up like me,” he added.Vero chuckled as she helped Gia into the wheelchair and pushed her inside.Gia held her breath again as another wave of pain struck. Raven extended his hand and clasp

“Haze?”The soft call reached Gia’s ears, making her smile. Only one person in the world called her by that name. Knowing Raven was nearby filled her with strength.“Wake up... Two angels are waiting to meet you.”The whisper stirred Gia awake.Raven’s face hovered above her, his eyes red and swollen. Gia didn’t need to ask why he had been crying—she knew Raven only shed tears for those closest to his heart.Gia lifted her hand, though it felt impossibly heavy. The anesthesia likely hadn’t entirely left her system.Seeing Gia reaching out, Raven caught her hand and brought it to his lips, kissing it gently. “You are the most extraordinary woman, and I will never regret choosing you,” he whispered.“They... are...” Gia’s throat felt dry, her tongue felt heavy; her words caught in her throat.Raven quickly grabbed a bottle with a steel straw from nearby. The nurse, Vero, had prepared it earlier.Gia greedily sipped the water from the bottle.“Slow down. No one’s going to take it from yo

“Before heading home, I want to talk to you later. Please come to my office, okay?”Vero leaned her head into Gia’s room as she spoke. A smile appeared on her lips when she noticed the chaos inside.“Okay,” Gia replied briefly, focusing on handling Freya, who was persistently feeding even though her sibling was starting to get restless, waiting their turn. Nearby, Sophie paced back and forth, organizing the supplies they were bringing home, with Marlow helping her.Raven cradled Alrix, patiently waiting for his turn to eat. Fortunately, the baby stayed calm in his arms, squirming slightly but not crying. If he cried, Freya wouldn’t sleep—such was the reality of having twins. When one cried, the other would likely follow."What’s this about?" Raven asked, curious about Vero’s odd request. Everything seemed settled, and they were supposed to leave soon.Gia shook her head in answer, unwilling to disturb Freya, who was finally dozing off. Her eyes closed, and her lips released Gia’s ches

Gia slowly lay down on the bed with Sophie’s help. Marlow and Sophie naturally followed Gia back to Ranallo’s residence, where they planned to stay. Matteo didn’t mind; he welcomed anyone close to Gia.“I know he’s your brother, but isn’t he a bit intimidating?” Sophie whispered, glancing at Matteo, gazing at the two babies in their cradle."That’s just how he is. Don’t worry; he won’t hurt me or them,” Gia replied, smiling at Matteo.In moments like this, Matteo looked like a teddy bear to her—big like a bear but soft and gentle when touched. Feeling Gia’s gaze, Matteo nodded with a faint smile.“I never thought I’d meet someone even more unreasonable than Raven. That is shocking for me," Sophie commented, arranging Gia’s blanket.“Men like that are rare… and somehow, they always seem to gravitate toward me,” Gia chuckled.“You must have a hidden magnet for cold men buried somewhere in your body,” Sophie joked, her grin wide.“Hmmm... I didn’t expect your brother to be someone quite

Gia stretched her arms and body as crying pierced through the night again.Before she could get up, Raven stopped her. “I’ll take care of it. You just go back to sleep.”"They’re crying at the same time, Raven. You won’t be able to handle it alone,” Gia said skeptically.“I’ll manage. If I need help, I’ll call you. Now rest,” Raven insisted.Though doubtful, Gia relented. From her bed, she watched as Raven tried to handle the twins’ cries.First, he warmed two bottles of breast milk Gia had pumped earlier that day.Next, he checked their diapers. Awkward but determined, Raven replaced the diapers with growing confidence. Gia figured he must have learned by watching Sophie or herself. She had never explicitly taught him, nor had she asked him to know.Gia had no need to learn the basics of baby care; as a nurse, she had handled countless newborns in the hospital’s maternity ward. Those skills were proving invaluable now.Despite the overwhelming cries of both babies, Raven remained cal

"Psychiatrist? There was a psychiatrist who examined me?” Gia asked in surprise.Raven nodded.“He could only make an estimation since he didn’t consult with you directly. His diagnosis was based on the story I told him. He also admitted his diagnosis might not be entirely accurate. But now, I’m convinced he was right.”"Why?"“I’ll explain from the beginning so you don’t get confused.”Gia nodded.“He said you’re experiencing a different form of depression and trauma. I strongly denied it at the time because you showed no signs of either.”"I’m not depressed!" Gia protested. Her life hadn’t been smooth, but she didn’t feel like she was suffering from depression.Raven raised a hand, signaling Gia to be patient and let him continue.“He said your sleep every day isn’t complete. You sleep, but your consciousness doesn’t fully shut down. You might not realize it, but according to him, part of you remains alert.”"I’m not alert!" Gia interjected again, refusing to accept Raven’s explanat

“Don’t hold it like that—you’ll hurt him. Hold him like this! Can’t you see? All you have to do is follow my example, yet you still mess it up!” Raven’s sharp criticism was aimed squarely at his newest nemesis, Matteo.Matteo’s green eyes glared at Raven, but he couldn’t argue back. Regarding handling babies, although their skills weren’t worlds apart, Matteo begrudgingly admitted that Raven was more knowledgeable. Matteo was, at best, a noob in baby care.Narrowing his eyes, Matteo studied the position of Raven’s hands as he cradled Freya. He adjusted his grip on Alrix accordingly, ensuring the baby stopped squirming in discomfort.To Matteo’s annoyance, Alrix immediately settled down after he followed Raven’s instructions. Matteo’s large hands’ gentle rocking lulled the baby into calmness, and his eyelids fluttered shut.Raven laughed silently, his mouth stretched wide in mockery, but no sound escaping. His smug expression screamed triumph. He wouldn’t dare disturb the peace now tha

"Yes. Just a few days ago,” Gia answered smoothly, without hesitation. Quite convincing.“And you?” Martha pointed at Matteo. “What happened to Dion?”Gia didn’t know who Dion was, but based on the context, he seemed to be Haakon’s usual bodyguard.“He’s sick. Resting,” Matteo answered coldly and briefly.The sunglasses hid almost all of his facial expressions. The other bodyguard glanced at Matteo. He surely knew it was a lie, but he didn’t interfere.“Really? I didn’t know he was sick. He seemed fine yesterday,” Martha said, looking surprised. She trusted Matteo but was puzzled by the sudden illness.“A severe flu,” Matteo added to clear Martha’s remaining doubts.“What about Natalie?”After hearing Matteo’s reasonable explanation, she turned back to Gia. This time, Gia knew that Natalie was the name of Mette’s usual assistant.“She had a sudden family emergency. They couldn’t be left alone. She left unexpectedly yesterday.”Gia inwardly groaned as she realized she had unintentional

Svvere laughed as he listened to Gia’s criticism.“It’s not pleasant at all. I hate it too,” Svvere said.“Does it have to be like this every year?” Gia questioned the gloomy tradition, secretly wishing Svvere didn’t have to go through it annually. It would be too sad if he did.Svvere nodded with exaggerated enthusiasm. “It’s annoying, isn’t it? But thankfully, Mamma replaced it with another party.”“What do you mean?”“When the formal party ends, Mamma hosts a second birthday party the next day. It’s more relaxed, with just cousins and a few close relatives attending.”“That’s wonderful!”Svvere nodded and smiled, knowing the additional party was meant to cheer him up. No wonder he grew up to be such a cheerful young man despite enduring such odd traditions. Mette had ensured that Svvere’s childhood was as normal as possible.Gia’s admiration for Mette grew a little more. At first, she had judged the family for holding such a stiff and formal birthday party.But while they adhered t

Gia hugged Al one more time before handing him over to Marlow. Sophie and Marlow would take care of them. Eventually, Marlow was summoned back to Geirangerfjord, leaving Sophie unable to handle them alone.Fortunately, Al and Frey no longer relied heavily on breast milk since they ate complementary foods. The frozen breast milk supply was also enough to last for a week.Frey immediately reached out his hand as soon as Gia freed hers. He always felt jealous whenever his older brother received more attention, whether from Gia or Raven.Sensing Gia’s unease, the little girl nestled her head against Gia’s neck and wrapped her arms around it in silence, offering comfort and reassurance.“I’ll be back soon, sweetheart. Wait a little longer. I’ll bring Daddy home,” Gia whispered.Frey missed Raven the most. He often cried and became fussy at night, his only way to express how much he missed his father. Gia understood the meaning behind those cries, which made her feel even more devastated.W
MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #167 You Hiding Something
“I think this works,” Sophie said, pulling out two suits—one in blue and the other in black. "Go ahead, try them on."Gia nodded obediently and took the two suits into the fitting room. She complied because she understood the necessity of it all. After checking herself in the mirror twice, Gia finally nodded. The suits Sophie had chosen fit her petite frame perfectly."How is it?" Sophie asked."I think they’re fine," Gia replied."Great! Now all we need is to find a party dress.” With quick movements, Sophie handed the two formal suits to the sales assistant for processing."Add these too," Sophie said, pointing to two more outfits she had picked earlier.Gia was already content with the first two suits, but Sophie thought two were far too few. There was no point in arguing with Sophie about the number of clothes. Gia had to comply, or things would drag on unnecessarily.After paying for the purchases, they moved to another boutique specializing in evening and cocktail dresses.Choos

While waiting for Haakon, they enjoyed lunch. Al and Frey needed extra attention during the meal. Mette happily took over Sophie’s role and helped feed Frey. Matteo, on the other hand, wasn’t exceptionally skilled at this.It was clear that Svvere adored Freya. As he sat beside his mother, watching her feed Frey, his eyes never left her. Several times, Gia noticed him gently stroking Frey’s head with affection.Svvere even tried feeding Frey himself, though his hands were clumsy. When he succeeded, he clapped his hands like he had just won a prestigious competition. Frey’s laughter matched Svvere’s excitement, filling the room with joy.Seeing this warmed Gia’s heart a little. She truly hoped that Haakon would provide the answer she was longing for.“She doesn’t want to anymore. You don’t need to force her,” Gia explained, noticing Svvere’s sad expression when Frey refused to open her mouth again.“Is she full?” Svvere asked.“And she’ll probably feel sleepy soon,” Gia replied, explai

Mette’s residence was just as Gia remembered it, though perhaps a bit livelier now that flowers were beginning to bloom in the garden in front of the house. The last time she visited was during autumn when the garden looked much barer.“He’s the prince of Norway?” Matteo still seemed unable to believe that Gia could be close to someone of such stature. He had underestimated Lindgren’s influence before.Gia nodded. “Haakon, Mette’s husband, is the heir to the throne of Norway.”“Let’s see how this unfolds,” Matteo ended the discussion as the car stopped.Al clung tightly to Gia as they got out of the car. The boy always seemed uncomfortable in unfamiliar environments. On the other hand, Frey didn’t seem to care—especially since he was fast asleep in Matteo’s arms.The staff welcomed Gia the first time she visited. Today was special. She saw Mette standing at the main door; naturally, Svvere was with her.“Gia!” Svvere shouted, running toward her. The noise disturbed Frey, but Matteo ca

“It’s colder here,” Gia murmured. She had gotten used to Italy’s climate and forgotten that Norway was several degrees cooler.Italy’s spring temperature hovered below twenty degrees Celsius, but Norway was likely below fifteen. Gia was thankful she had dressed Al and Frey warmly enough.Jasper greeted them on the runway with Max. Their group was quite large, so he had prepared two cars. Besides Matteo, Gia brought Sophie along, as she was the only one who could help her manage the twins. Marlow had stayed behind in Italy and would only join them if necessary.“Geirangerfjord.”Gia pronounced their destination fluently as the car started moving, recalling how patiently Raven had taught her to say the name correctly.A wave of nostalgia hit Gia. Although she had left this country over a year ago, her memories of Norway remained vivid.She remembered how chaotic her emotions were when she first came here. Yet this country was also where she and Raven had gotten married, and it held a sp

Gia’s hands trembled as she listened to the dial tone. The long-distance call only played monotonously, indicating that Caius wasn’t answering.“Is he ignoring you?” Matteo asked.Gia wanted to say yes, but she trusted Caius more than that. So she called again.“Maybe he’s busy,” Gia said, trying to comfort herself while giving Matteo an excuse.The second call nearly crushed Gia’s hope. It, too, was nothing but an endless ringing tone without an answer. But just as the call was about to end, she finally heard a response.“Gia.”“Caz…”“I can’t help you.”Before Gia could even State," her request, Caius cut her off. He had already heard about Raven and guessed why Gia was calling.“I’m not asking for much. I just want to meet your father.”Caius let out a dry, bitter laugh at Gia’s request. “He won’t even meet me, Gia. How could I possibly get you an audience with him? He’s furious because I sided with Raven and didn’t take Willow’s side. I could’ve initially reported your marriage to
MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #162 Search For Help
Gia honestly forgot about it. The warmth and happiness that had enveloped her these past few months made her unwilling to recall such unpleasant memories.Her mind effortlessly sorted out the fact that Raven was a fugitive and buried it deep in the back of her head. She refused to let that thought disrupt her happiness. But now, that very fact struck her, shattering the beautiful picture of her life at an unexpected moment. It destroyed the perfect world she had tried so hard to maintain.Gia crouched, crossing her arms over her chest, squeezing her arms and shoulders to keep herself conscious.She couldn’t allow herself to faint. Gia kept hurting her own body to stay awake. The pain from her tight grip was enough to hold on to the fragments of her sanity, preventing it from being consumed by panic and fear for the future.“Gia, what’s wrong?” Aria asked when she saw Gia’s phone fall to the floor. She got up and approached her, clueless about what was happening.“What’s wrong? Don’t d
