She was usually a light sleeper, but today was an exception.

Jacob tried shaking her many times and called out her name numerous times just to fail in the end.

He rubbed the back of his head while there was only one option left since she was not waking up, there was nothing he could do rather than that.

" It's you who forced me to do this, don't blame me tomorrow ", Jacob complained as he stood straight and then bent down suddenly, holding her lightly in his arms only to start walking towards the empty room he had prepared for her. He was cleaning that room from the afternoon to the evening.

    Jacob was clear about his decision. From the moment they signed a contract with the other party, there was no moment when they took advantage of that party or made any unreasonable demands.

", Juhee was already tired from work and her body was hurting from all the work.Just when she thought she could have a good rest or maybe cook some nice dishes for both of them, she was not allowed to enter the home.

", She was a little pissed and walked inside, not giving him any mind as she already knew he would make his way in even if she does not say anything.Jacob walked inside along with his stuff and he was a little taken aback by the inside view.
