“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

    What Gia meant by not having money was that she hadn’t handled any cash for the past few months.After being with Raven, Gia never felt the need for money—whether cash or credit cards. The last time she went shopping was with Rose in Eze.At that time, they paid for everything with one of Raven’s cards. Since then, Gia’s needs have been cared for, even before she asked.Gia never had to buy groceries; the fridge was always stocked—courtesy of Sophie, Raven, or one of the staff. She also never felt the need to purchase clothes.Clothes, shoes, and accessories were always available wherever she was. Gia had even stopped complaining about floral-patterned dresses like the one she was wearing now.Her makeup supplies were always neatly arranged on her vanity, even though she had never asked for them. Gia found it amusing. She should have felt rich after marrying Raven, but she never felt the need for money because Raven had already met all her needs before she even asked.Today, however,

    Sophie pushed Raven and Gia out of the pavilion. “Stop worrying and just go already!” she urged.“But what if…”“I’ve had plenty of experience handling two stubborn babies. Look, one of them grew up healthy and was incredibly handsome.” Sophie pointed at Raven, her face brimming with pride.“I became handsome on my own. It has nothing to do with you,” Raven retorted.“Whatever the case, you grew up healthy and handsome, didn’t you? So taking care of two babies for a few hours is something I can handle,” Sophie replied confidently.“But Raven and Lonan weren’t babies at the same time. It’s different now. You’ll have trouble i

    The festival truly delighted its audience, both visually and aurally. Even Gia, who knew nothing about classical music, enjoyed the performance.At first, the music played on a stage as usual, featuring classical pieces in various tempos. Gia felt comforted and melancholic when the orchestra played soft, soothing melodies. When the tempo shifted to an upbeat rhythm, it sparked an unusual energy in her, almost making her feel like picking up a weapon, though she wasn’t sure who she would fight for.Accustomed to such performances, Raven couldn’t help but critique some of the acts. After all, it was a festival, so among the orchestras that performed, there were bound to be one or two that felt amateurish.However, the central performance, a true feast for the eyes and ears, began late at night. The stage w

    They left the café with full stomachs and began walking again, retracing the past offered by the city.“That one?” Raven pointed to an open carriage, empty and parked beside the ancient town hall building."Sure," Gia nodded.The carriage driver smiled, opened the door, and helped Gia climb in.This might be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Riding in a carriage added a unique charm to that journey. The sound of horses’ hooves against the cobblestones became an accompanying melody, immersing the passengers deeper in memories of the past.But not Gia. She stared ahead, her eyes vacant, lost in thought. Raven sighed knowingly and took her hand, pulling her back to reality.

    The moment the door to the room closed, Raven pushed Gia against the wall and claimed her lips with an intensity that betrayed his longing. It was rough, laced with a hint of demand and punishment. Gia’s breath hitched as Raven consumed her fervently, his passion wild and unrestrained.“You little devil,” Raven hissed, pulling back momentarily. Frustration laced his tone, annoyed that Gia had waited until now to tell him."You were busy, Rave." Jasper had only given him a month’s leave, but Raven had stretched it to six weeks. Two weeks ago, he finally relented to Jasper’s incessant demands and returned to work.The mountain of documents Jasper sent afterward had Raven cursing under his breath. Thankfully, Gia and the kids weren’t around to witness his frustration. Pending tasks were never enjoyable.“Don’t lie to me, Haze,” Raven growled, turning Gia’s face back to meet his gaze. It didn’t take long for him to figure out her excuse was a lie, especially with how she avoided his eyes.

    Gia held her breath and squeezed Raven’s hand as she watched Al, moving stiffly and unsteadily, reach for the sofa’s edge to use it as support to stand. Without hesitation, Gia grabbed the camera, which was never far from her reach.She no longer felt the need to search for subjects to photograph. Her new hobby revolved around capturing moments of Al and Frey. The camera’s memory card held thousands of photos of their babies. However, the first step of the tin couldn’t be captured simply in a still image.Gia switched the camera to video mode and focused on Al. The nine-month-old chubby baby trembled as he mustered all his strength to stand before taking one small, tentative step after another. His hands clung to the sofa for balance, but he walked."Did you see that? Did you see it?" Gia whispered, her voice brimming with excitement. Despite her urge to cheer loudly, she kept her tone low, fearing she might startle Al and make him lose his grip.Raven nodded and squeezed Gia’s arm,

    Gia read the message on her phone. Vero informed her that she would be busy today, handling four deliveries. Finally, it made sense why Aria had come alone.Gia was late in reading the message. Earlier, she had wondered about Vero’s absence. She wanted to ask Aria about it, but since Aria arrived, she had been busy joking with Al and Frey, leaving no room for Gia to ask.Gia opened the fridge and took out apple juice and water for Aria.“I don’t need water! I need something super sweet—chocolate ice cream! Bring it all out,” Aria firmly protested, waving her hand in refusal.“What’s going on?” Gia asked. This was the first time she had seen Aria ask for ice cream. Usually, she avoided sugar to maintain her weight.Gia turned around and opened the freezer. Luckily, a tub of chocolate ice cream remained, a remnant of her dessert-making experiment.Gia had recently learned to cook. Sophie had taught her, and after three months of practice, Gia finally mastered three recipes and one desse

    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

    King Gustaf held Raven’s hand tightly for a moment. He was aware that their happiness depended on each other.He kept his eyes on Raven as their hands separated.“Well then, I’ll take my leave.” King Gustaf saw no reason for further pleasantries, so he turned around immediately. But before taking a step, he glanced back.His gaze focused on Lonan, who had remained silent and lowered his head after declaring he would be a witness.“I truly wished you had married Willow, but I couldn’t force her. I’m sorry. And please forgive Willow for her mistake this time.” His eyes flickered toward Raven as well, not just Lonan. Then, finally, he stepped out.Two deep sighs of relief filled the room as the door closed—one from Lonan, one from Raven. Raven picked up his phone, checking something. Maybe he was telling Jasper to cancel a plan.“King Gustaf will keep his promise because he will never let Willow’s name be tarnished in the eyes of society. He always avoids scandals so that Willow can live

    Gia didn't know who Tilda was, but Raven's intense reaction made her suspect something. Raven clearly cared about whoever Tilda was."Why can't I mention her name? She's Willow's mother!"Gia's suspicion proved correct. King Gustaf disgustingly uttered a name that would surely shake Raven. He mentioned someone Raven loved as dearly as her own family. It was a deceitful move.Raven's face burned with anger, yet the furrow in her brow showed she was thinking. That name had driven her to get engaged and save Willow's life. The inner battle flared up again—this time, it was Raven's turn."For Tilda's sake, I beg you: don't press those charges. And please hand over that recording. You surely don't want to ruin Willow's life, right?""He ruined himself without my interference. You only sped up his plunge into ruin by continually excusing all his misdeeds." Raven stopped using the formal "you" when addressing King Gustaf. Merely mentioning Tilda's name ignited deep emotions within her."You

    King Gustaf stared at Al and Frey. "Are they your children?" Gia wanted to answer with a scathing remark with the word idiot, just like she'd used earlier to respond to Lonan's question. It was blatantly obvious who Al and Frey's parents were. "Yes," Gia replied politely. The time when she could curse at the king had long passed. "Then you must understand my feelings. The feelings of a father who must do everything to protect his child." King Gustaf quickly turned to Raven. Unfortunately, his emotionally charged statement was met with a mocking laugh from Raven. "No. I can't understand your feelings. Because I'll make sure these two don't grow up to be manipulators who casually stab others in the back," Raven retorted sharply. King Gustaf's jaw tightened in anger. "What's going on?" Gia demanded. Seeing Raven provoke the king's anger, she felt some satisfaction, but she still didn't grasp the full context. "I'm filing charges against Willow. This time, I'll ensure she

    "Oh... My... God...," Lonan muttered as he saw Raven enter carrying Freya. Gia followed behind, with Al playfully twirling around her neck.They had to wrestle a bit while heading to the hospital. Al began teething and fussed whenever things didn't go his way.Freya, who always imitated her older sibling, considered crying together a fun activity. As a result, Gia and Raven had to fight through a torrent of tears before they could leave the house."They…"Lonan shot a disbelieving glance. He rarely saw Raven accompanied by a cute baby; in his opinion, it didn't seem right. In fact, Gia used to feel the same—but that was then. Gia feels something is missing without Freya clinging to Raven's chest.It wasn't Gia's idea to bring them to the hospital; Raven requested it. He wanted to introduce Al and Freya to their uncle. It was a common wish, and Gia simply couldn't refuse."Are they twins?" Lonan asked."You don't eat enough apples. How can you ask such a stupid question? The answer is

  • MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND   #194 Foolish Of You

    Gia peeled the apple on the table and cut it into smaller pieces. That wasn't how she ate apples—she preferred whole ones, eating them with the skin on.The apple wasn't for her. After placing it in a bowl, Gia carried it to the patient's bed and set it on the table. The person sleeping in that bed jumped awake at the sound of movement and footsteps.Gia glanced sideways, and their eyes met. Too late to look away, she could only huff in irritation.Lonan looked toward the bowl of apple. "I thought you'd never do something kind for me again."Gia snorted. "Exactly! I didn't do this for you. I did it for Raven. He'll be upset if he finds out I still despise you."Lonan gave a bitter smile. He had set his hopes too high. Gia always tried her best to be kind to him because she knew that if she kept showing her dislike, Raven would end up sad. Gia understood that feeling well—it reminded her of the time she watched Matteo and Raven argue.Of course, that argument couldn't compare to the ha

    Raven felt a little calmer after Gia invited him to sit. Although he still felt anxious, his breathing steadied. He leaned back in his seat while gripping Gia's hand.Doctors had been operating on Lonan for about four hours, and they still hadn't given any news about his progress. Based on her experience, Gia could only guess that the knife must have injured one of his organs—she couldn't tell how severe the damage was.The wait felt like hell to Raven. He no longer displayed any emotion, as if his tears had drained every ounce of feeling. The overwhelming memory of his parents leaving haunted him, and he clung to the hope that Lonan would pull through.All his anger melted away and gave way to hope. He no longer cared about Lonan's mistakes—they now seemed insignificant.Whenever a lousy memory threatened to overwhelm him, Raven squeezed Gia's hand, and Gia stroked Raven's arm gently. Gia reminded him of other parts of his life that still awaited him, assuring him that his world woul

    From the beginning, Willow never planned to jump in or be fooled by Raven's blatantly apparent lies. Willow orchestrated this drama to get close enough to Raven so that they could hurt him.Now, Willow screamed in anger as their plan failed once again. Willow didn't care at all that Lonan collapsed and bled because of what they had done."Lonan!"Raven finally realized what was happening and roared Lonan's name. He tried to catch the falling body but couldn't manage it well."No!" Raven roared again when he saw the red stain spreading across Lonan's stomach.Gia pushed aside the nearby guards and ran toward them."Help him, Haze… I beg you," Raven whimpered. He clutched Lonan's head as Lonan began losing consciousness.Gia studied the wound that kept bleeding. The knife is still stuck there.Gia pressed her hand against the wound to stop more blood from flowing out and to prevent Lonan from going into shock from excessive blood loss."Call for help!" Gia shouted. Many ambulances waite

    Yesterday's mini forest that once looked peaceful and comfortable had transformed into a warzone. Gia now understood why all the police were downstairs. The royal guards had taken over their duties—not just the ones earlier on the stairs, but a much larger force now spread across the roof. Their primary purpose here wasn't Willow but because their master was also on the rooftop. King Gustaf stood roughly five meters behind Willow, trying to coax her down. Willow had already stepped outside the safety railing, facing the open air, her hands still gripping the rooftop's edge barrier. "Don't jump! Willow!" Gia could faintly hear his desperate pleas. "I should've made that barrier taller," Raven muttered. The railing would have been sufficient to prevent someone Gia's height from climbing over. But Willow, tall as a giraffe, stood only a few centimeters shorter than Raven. Her perfectly proportioned body—especially those long legs—made it easy for her to vault the barrier.

    “What's going on?!" Gia demanded, staring at Raven. Her face was pale, and her hand covered her mouth, holding back a torrent of curses.“How did she get in?!” Raven shouted, still directing her question to Jasper at the other end.After hearing Jasper’s response, Raven lowered the phone from her ear. Her eyes shifted to Lonan, who now looked as if he were having a heart attack."You gave her your pass card?" Raven asked quietly.Lonan shook his head. “She came to apologize yesterday... I didn't know... she must've taken it then.”He straightened up and rushed toward Raven.“We have to go there...,” Lonan said, shaking Raven’s arm."Why?"“Can someone explain what's happening?” Gia hated being left in the dark.“Willow is trying to kill herself. She's on the roof of the Lindgren Tower, ready to jump,” Raven explained.“She...” Gia couldn’t find the right words—Willow was beyond crazy.Raven didn’t look at Gia as he spoke. His eyes were fixed on Lonan, who kept shaking his arm.“We hav
