#90 The Bithday Party
Terakhir Diperbarui:
2024-12-28 07:00:43The journey to the party venue turned out to be far more challenging than Gia had anticipated. She had underestimated the distance between Geirangerfjord and Oslo, which spanned over five hundred kilometers. They had to take a plane to get there.
Considering their goal was simply to attend a birthday party, it seemed excessive. But the plane was necessary to shorten the travel time.
About an hour and a half later, they finally landed in Oslo. Jasper was already there, waiting for a car to take them to the party.
Seeing Jasper’s slick appearance, Gia suspected he would attend the party too. She felt relieved—at least there would be two familiar faces at the party, not just Raven.
The three of them sat in the back of the limousine. For some reason, Gia didn&rsq

MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #91 What Do You Mean?
“Straighten your back, don’t slouch. Once you bow down, you lose.”Automatically, Gia straightened her back and neck, even though her posture wasn’t bad initially. As a physical therapist, she knew how to position her back correctly.Raven hissed that final piece of advice from the corner of his mouth while flashing a smile at the host.Jasper adjusted his already elegant tie unnecessarily. Max, who had been trailing behind them earlier, was nowhere to be seen. It seemed Raven’s command to enter hadn’t meant entering the party venue itself.“Count Lindgren! Velkommen, jeg er veldig glad for at du kan delta.”(Welcome, I’m glad you could join us.)Haakon Magnus, the prince, w

Haakon and Mette opened the party with a speech of gratitude, mentioning several names specifically to pay their respects, including Raven and Edvin.Finally, they called the birthday boy to the front. Svvere Magnus slowly descended, accompanied by a servant. He had inherited Mette’s pale blonde hair, but his face was a replica of Haakon’s—slightly flat chin, high nose, and wide, friendly eyes.Those eyes squinted when he saw the crowd of guests below. Fear and shyness overcame him. He looked like he wanted to turn back, but noticing this, Mette quickly approached and coaxed her son forward.As Mette stroked Svvere’s head, briefly brushing aside his hair, Gia’s heart clenched. She caught sight of a hearing aid attached to his ear. The handsome little boy, it turned out, had a hearing im

“Three, the dessert fork… Four, the salad fork…"Gia nervously counted the prongs of the forks. The lessons she had spent the entire day learning with Sophie seemed to be slipping away from her brain at an alarming rate. Once confident, Gia picked up a fork to eat her salad.But Raven’s hand stopped her. With a swift motion, he picked another four-pronged fork and placed it in Gia’s hand. Both had four prongs, but Gia had mistakenly chosen the steak fork.Gia managed to hold back a sigh of frustration and started eating the salad, the first course of the dinner.Before she was halfway through, Gia felt a light touch on her left arm. Since Raven was seated on her right, the touch startled her."

Gia wanted to pour out all her frustrations at that moment, but then she remembered that Jasper was there. Quickly, she let go of Raven’s embrace and tidied up her appearance.Jasper didn’t seem to care. He remained in his usual position, hunched over, staring at his tablet.“Max, let’s go to Frogner Park. I think it’s somewhere nearby,” Raven said, aware of Gia’s discomfort with Jasper’s presence and wanting to find a more private place for them to talk.“Understood, Mr. Lindgren,” Max replied, pressing the GPS button to locate the park Raven mentioned. Sure enough, it wasn’t far away.“Where are we going?” Gia asked, wanting nothing more than to go home and bury herself under the blankets.

Nature drove them out when Raven was about to lead Gia back to the car. Rain poured heavily. The droplets struck Gia’s cheeks, leaving a stinging, itchy sensation.Raven opened his coat, using it as a makeshift umbrella. His coat was much thicker than the one Gia was wearing.“Let’s go!” Raven stood, ready to sprint. They needed to reach the car before getting drenched completely.“Wait!” Gia removed her shoes. The heels were too high for running; she’d likely trip and fall embarrassingly.“Your feet will get cold,” Raven remarked, watching Gia step onto the stone pathway in her stockings.“It’s fine. Let’s go!” They dashed toward the car. Gia&rsquo

Gia stared sharply at Raven, full of determination. Raven, on the other hand, smirked with amusement."Bist du sicher?" (Are you sure?) Raven asked."Natürlich!" (Of course!)Cold sweat trickled down Gia’s back. This was her first time speaking in German."Geht... es... dir gut?" (Are you okay?) Gia asked, her German stumbling a bit as she formed the sentence."Mir geht es gut. Aber ist das nicht zu einfach? Ich wünschte, der Satz wäre schwieriger." (I'm fine. But isn't that too easy?

Gia turned over and felt Raven’s body beside her. Her stomach felt heavy because Raven’s arm was wrapped around her. Happily, Gia snuggled her head closer and embraced the muscular body.But then, her forehead furrowed. Aside from Raven’s usual scent, her nose caught a foreign smell... No, not foreign, but a scent she hadn’t encountered in a long time.The scent of hospital disinfectant!Gia opened her eyes wide. Raven was sound asleep beside her, and they were lying on a hospital bed.That narrow bed wasn’t meant for two people. As a nurse, Gia often scolded family members who tried or were caught sleeping on a patient’s bed.Luckily, she never encountered anyone like Raven. It would have

Gia again stroked the rich maroon wool gown, admiring herself in the mirror.Gia’s preference for modest gowns seemed perfectly ordinary for autumn, especially with winter just around the corner. A dress with a high neckline and a pleated skirt reaching down to her ankles wouldn’t look out of place.Sophie had deliberately chosen a dress with a flared skirt. That clothes won’t constrict Gia’s belly.Sophie’s reaction to Gia’s pregnancy was as exaggerated as Raven’s. The two of them barely allowed Gia to move.But after Gia convinced them that her health would suffer if she remained idle, they finally relented and allowed her to do her usual activities. After all, Gia understood her own body better than they did.

MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #199 As Always (end)
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
MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #198 The Promised
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
MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #196 She's Insane
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
MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #193 He's Gonna Be Fine
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
MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #192 It's Not Your Fault
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
