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.

    "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

    When Gia received Natalie’s schedule for Mette, she didn’t pay much attention. That was a mistake because the schedule for the visit was packed, and Mette enthusiastically followed every event, as she was used to such a busy pace.Once the official welcoming ceremony at the palace was over, Mette and Haakon parted ways. Mette accompanied Queen Silvia, while Haakon had separate engagements with King Gustaf.Matteo was supposed to shadow Haakon, staying true to his undercover role. However, Matteo chose to stay with Gia due to their unique situation. Haakon’s actual bodyguard didn’t comment on Matteo joining Mette’s entourage instead.After just two events, Gia’s feet began to protest. Her admiration for Natalie soared as she watched the girl stand all day in those shoes and still move effortlessly. Meanwhile, Gia’s toes were starting to burn, screaming for freedom.The bad news was that Mette’s schedule was only halfway done. They were attending a luncheon hosted by a brain cancer rese

    Gia brushed off the clumps of dirt stuck to the hem of her pants. She then rubbed the soles of her shoes against the grass to dislodge the muddy soil clinging to them.It rained heavily last night, leaving the ground today covered in leftover mud. However, the mud didn’t pose a problem for Mette.Mette’s schedule today involved attending another charity event. Unlike yesterday’s event, which focused on illnesses, today’s organization was dedicated to environmental conservation and sustainability.At the event, Mette donated a significant sum of money to purchase tree saplings to be planted worldwide. The donation was enough to buy millions of saplings.Mette had to step onto the soil and plant a tree in a designated spot as part of the symbolic donation ceremony, including documentation and other formalities. This was why Gia’s shoes and pants got dirty.Once the event concluded, Gia was responsible for cleaning Mette’s shoes, which were in a similar condition.Earlier, a rather amusi

    “Look at that!”Mette exclaimed excitedly, making Martha pause while arranging Mette’s hair. Mette leapt from her chair and approached Gia, who had just entered the room.Gia entered, already dressed in the party attire Sophie had prepared for her. Sophie had instructed her to style her hair and makeup to perfection. The makeup was soft and subtle, enhancing Gia’s beauty without being overwhelming.Gia wore the red dress Sophie had selected the day before. It was slightly longer than knee-length and had open sleeves. Detailed floral embroidery and sequins adorned the V-shaped bodice extending to her waist.The dress gave Gia an intimidating aura and amplified her presence. Her petite frame seemed taller by a few centimetres, making her appear more striking than usual.Perhaps that added height was due to the high heels she wore. Though not as extreme as the killer heels from a few days ago, they were still tall enough. More importantly, Gia felt comfortable in these moderately high he

    "Ranallo? Your brother is Ranallo?” Lonan asked, still unable to accept it."Yes. And because of that, Raven is still alive. Unlike your wish to kill him.”“I DIDN’T KNOW THEY WERE TRYING TO KILL RAVEN!” Lonan shouted, his voice loud but still drowned out by the music. Only Gia and Matteo heard his desperate outcry.“I don’t care what your intentions were. The fact remains: you cruelly led your own brother to his doom!” Gia snapped with scorn.From the start, Gia had hated Lonan for his lies. However, betraying Raven’s location was the most unforgivable act in her eyes. It had shattered Raven’s heart. Even now, Raven barely touched on the subject, unwilling to reopen old wounds.Gia knew this well, even though Raven never explicitly said so. He avoided mentioning Lonan because he didn’t want Gia to curse him further. After everything, Raven still wanted to protect Lonan’s reputation in her eyes.“He was the one who convinced—”Lonan stopped himself mid-sentence, realizing he had almos

    Queen Silvia pulled Gia closer without paying attention to the confusion on her husband’s face. “There’s someone who wants to speak with you.”Gia was genuinely curious. Was Queen Silvia’s sweet tone the one she usually used when speaking to King Gustaf daily?However, seeing her husband’s surprise made it clear the tone was deliberate. Queen Silvia intentionally used it to heighten the surprise when she introduced them.“And who is this? I’ve never seen her before,” King Gustaf asked.Gia suddenly felt nervous as his piercing green eyes studied her intently. Only then did she realize the man addressing her was the ruler of one of Europe’s most powerful nations?“She’s my guest.” The words slipped from Queen Silvia’s lips almost instantly—a lie crafted without hesitation.Like Gia, she had decided not to involve Mette.Queen Silvia chose to take full responsibility herself, which was a smart move. Even if King Gustaf became angry later, it would remain a private marital argument rathe

    "Helsinki?" King Gustaf exclaimed, startled. “This law does not extend beyond Sweden. She cannot be arrested in Helsinki!” He added something everyone already knew, something he had said at least once.A malicious laugh erupted from behind Gia. Sitting on the sofa, Queen Silvia raised her hand to her mouth, but the gesture did nothing to muffle the loud laughter escaping her lips.“You should ask your precious daughter about this. I’m sure she has an answer.”King Gustaf’s eyes flared with anger, and he was displeased with his wife’s accusation of Willow. “Don’t say things carelessly!” he barked.Queen Silvia ignored his outburst, shrugging casually as she delivered another shocking revelation. “If you want clarity, just ask Ronald. He’s in the front, isn’t he?”"Ronald?" Following his wife’s reasonable suggestion, King Gustaf picked up the phone on his desk and pressed a button.“Could you call Ronald and have him come to my office?” Gustaf asked irritatedly, put the phone down, and

    CRASH!As Queen Silvia finished her sentence, an ashtray flew through the air and slammed into the wall behind Ronald. King Gustaf had thrown it. He snatched the ashtray from the table and hurled it with all his strength in Ronald’s direction.His fury had reached its boiling point. Anyone could understand the implication behind Queen Silvia’s words about “spreading legs.” Imagining Willow doing such a thing with Ronald was enough to make Queen Silvia’s disgust apparent.Especially for King Gustaf. Though he found it hard to believe his wife’s words, Ronald’s increasingly bowed head confirmed the truth.Gia covered her mouth, trying to stifle her gasp. She hadn’t expected Willow to stoop so low to achieve her plans. Matteo, however, seemed utterly unbothered, the only one in the room unimpressed by the unfolding drama. He’d witnessed far more shocking events in the past.“I knew that girl was disgusting! But you are even more repulsive for accepting her. She’s the same age as your dau

    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

  • MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND   #191 Toxic Till The End

    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
